Modern, concise and pared-back – the description of the stylish restaurant design could also be applied to the set menu devised by the chef-patron pair Marco Barth and Sebastian Rossbach. When it comes to the ingredients, the focus is on all that the region has to offer, with a particular insistence on organic produce; the saltwater fish they serve is caught in the wild.

Rossbarth in Linz offers a creative, multi-course tasting menu featuring high-quality ingredients and complex flavors. While many praise the professional service and reliable wine pairings, others note inconsistent attentiveness, such as infrequent water refills, and uncomfortable seating.
