A hidden gem! If you…read moreend up in Linz and do not have a clue where to go to eat something wonderful do not miss this little gem just next to the old town square! Honestly, form outside did not seemed too much but because I send some of my clients over there to have dinner I thought that I should try it myself as well.... :D And boy, what a great place! I have many dining, many places, but this one we still talk about after few days! They have an open kitchen actually you can see what is going on there. The waiters were (there were a lady and a young boy there, can't remember their names.... sorry) super attentive. The chef gave a taste of a small mustard portion that he just created right there on the spot until we were waiting for the main course. And the main course....! Heavenly! Really! I am not easily impressed but this Norwegian fish that I ordered (I am not even a big fish eater...) was the highlight of my day! :) I will be back! That is for sure! Don't know when but will be back! :) If you are in Linz, do not miss this great place!

Loved it! I was on a…read morecycling tour and I spent the night in Linz. After having been on the road for several weeks already and not always eating the best food throughout the day, I decided to treat myself to a vegetable-forward dinner. A quick internet research led me to this place and I made a reservation for one. I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, this was the best meals I've had in a long time. What I loved most about this place is how they structured their menu: vegan and vegetarian dishes first and then - almost as an afterthought- come the meat dishes. Well done! I'd cycle all the way to Linz again for this place.

This is normal, which is why we were given a tip to stay an evening at the Gasthaus when we went for a weekend trip to Reichenau. Unfortunately the place was booked out for that weekend and even for one specific weekend in June. It's very popular, so reserve ahead of time. We still found elsewhere to stay near town but still decided to come one evening for dinner. Falstaff 2 forks and 86 points. Ratings seemed to point they were good but another tip to us was they do specialities for the season and take importance in the quality of their food. The food was wonderful and I have to admit this was one of the best lamb dishes I ever had in Austria. I have high expectations when it comes to dishes serving lamb. We got as dessert a variation of what they have and that's perfect. You have no room left in you, it's k. Just order the dessert variation set. Trust me it will be worth all bloating and complaining. This kitchen has some gems stored in their sleeves. Food outstanding! The location and view. Austria is filled with Gasthauses that are situated in places with views that make you say "I'm quitting my job, moving here and eating & drinking for the rest of my life." This is a place like that. View of mountains spectacular and even though we got it at a rainy and cloudy day it was incredible when the sun broke out a couple times. You have tables on balcony, at back if you want more forest and less view or you have these couple benches as in northern Germany so that you can have some privacy with your better half. It's a 1 hour drive from Vienna (would require a lot of walking from train station). Call and reserve room or table before just going there. Staff is wonderful and helpful. If any of you new comers in Vienna are wondering where can I take my friends or family and give a taste of the mountains food and drinks, keep this place in mind.
