Gasthof Schäffer

Bib Gourmand€€Farm to table

A restaurant where you feel right at home, thanks to the cosy atmosphere, cordial service, and the food that is straight-up delicious! This is traditional, home-style cuisine – think Austrian classics such as Wiener schnitzel, Backhendl (breaded fried chicken) and Tafelspitz (boiled beef), as well as venison Beuscherl (lights) and freshwater fish from the region. Those who prefer something a little more elevated can opt for a surprise menu (three to five courses) in the evening, subject to advance booking. They also have seven cosy guestrooms.

Lurgbauer, located in Mitterbach am Erlaufsee, specializes in seasonal regional cuisine. Food quality is highly praised, with dishes like Angus beef carpaccio, Rindsrouladen, and Tyrolean dumplings noted for their excellent taste and fresh ingredients. The dining room features large windows blending old and new styles, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, service experiences vary significantly; while some find staff friendly, others report unfriendliness or lack of communication. Pacing issues and perceived low value for money are also mentioned. It suits diners seeking authentic local flavors and a quiet setting, though expectations regarding service attentiveness should be managed.

Ideal for diners prioritizing ingredient quality and a tranquil setting, with managed expectations for service.
