Frankly, Knoll Loibnerhof was not our first choice for the late October evening, as we lived in…read moreDurnstein (2 km from there), and we were looking for some restaurant in Durnstein. But it was a Sunday evening and all was closed, quite, silent. Therefore, we decided try that famous Knoll place, which is usually pretty busy ... and a bit posh. But I have to tel you, we have got the best experience. Great soups (a Fish Soup with safran, a Goose Soup with liver dumplings), Roasted Pork with Dumplings, a delicious Tafelspitz, and Plum Dumplings, hmm. All accompanied with a wonderfully fresh Gruener Veltliner Federspiel Knoll 2012. The pride of this restaurant is its spacy orchard garden, of course, but it was too late and too cold to sit outside. So we were inside this time, in a nice and clean, blue-green interier, with nice white tables. We will be definitely coming back. Thank you!

After our mighty climb to the Ruins we were hungry and thirsty. Indoor or alfresco dining, we…read morechose outside as it was a warm day. The views across the vineyards were lovely. the service easy and informative. We chose Sour Blood Sausage in vinegar, the cheese plate, blood sausage with horseradish and mustard and the sheep cheese in aioli/pesto. it was all delicious and easily one of the best meals we have had in our 4 weeks stay in Wachau. I would love to have had time to work my way through those sour dishes. Highly Recommended. I think it was the first turning of the street as you walk into Durnstein village. Big beers and chilled white wine to wash it down.

I thought long and hard before adding this gem to Yelp, but since Pulker's Heuriger was widely…read morereviewed - both in Austria and internationally - and the word is out, it is only fair to point my fellow yelpers into this direction. I have been here multiple times and my review is based on that. Don't walk to Pulker's Heuriger - RUN!!! Foremost, giving Pulker's only 5 stars does not do it justice, since it deserves 10. A meal at Pulker's is not only a meal - it is a religious experience! I will make this short and sweet, as you can read all of the expert reviews and articles about Pulker's Heuriger on their web site. The food is absolutely exquisite! At Pulker's Heuriger cooking is not about the technique but about the ingredients. The Schweinsbraten (roasted pork) is out of this world and the best I ever had in my life! There isn't a single Vienna heuriger that comes even close or that is in the same vicinity with the quality, freshness and flavors that you will experience at Pulker's. Everything that I tasted there was a hit. Goat cheese with tomatoes, chives, herbs in olive oil and balsamic vinegar - wow! Cheese spreads, pork fat spreads, deer sausages - all amazing. Simple, honest and bursting with flavor. The wine selection is likely one of the better ones in the entire country and possibly in the region. It is worth mentioning that the owner, Bernd Pulker is a top sommelier (and a very cool dude) who knows a thing or two about wine, and only serves the best - both from the region as well as France, for example. I could go on about food, wine or about the amazing back yard in the middle of a vineyard with a view of the right bank of river Danube and terraced vineyards of Wachau, but the words won't do it justice. So, the only other thing I would recommend is bringing along a designated driver and making a reservation weeks in advance. Pulker's is open between mid-March to early-November and closed for a winter hiatus. Cheers!
