Description

This pretty restaurant owned by friendly hosts Cornelia Stolzer and Ruben Baumgart – she is Austrian and he is German-Austrian – is something of an Alpine hot spot. Accordingly, classics such as Backhendl (breaded fried chicken), Alt-Wiener Tafelspitz (prime boiled beef) or Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake), as well as modern dishes feature on the menu. Charming, well-trained waitstaff and a decent selection of Austrian wines. Incidentally, the pumpkin seed oil comes from the proprietress's village.
