€€€Classic Cuisine, Contemporary
The spectacular lakeside location at Wolfgangsee is one of the main draws of this place. Combined with the stunning views of the lake and mountains, the classically elegant decor and live piano music in the background make for a truly romantic atmosphere. Incorporating local produce and drawing on classic and modern influences, the food is equally impressive. Diners have a choice of three set menus: "Poll's Menü", "Rössl Menü" and "Fondue Erlebnis" (must be pre-ordered). The outstanding wine list showcases Austrian labels. Friendly service. Overnight accommodation is available at Romantik Hote

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.5/5 · 80 reviews
Located in St. Gilgen, Batzenhäusl offers French and international cuisine. Reviews highlight high food quality, featuring dishes like Wagyu beef with foie gras and creative mushroom preparations, set in a quaint, garden-rich atmosphere. While many praise the professional and warm service, some note issues under new management, including slow responses, poor communication, and inconsistent pacing.

Susanne and Lucas Bocsa have been putting their heart and soul into their role as hosts for many years and, over time, have established a chic restaurant where Lucas Bocsa cooks up flavoursome dishes, both classic and international. With the two set menus, "Luckys" and "Luckys All Around the World
