And the fish is as fresh as it gets- the Forelle (trout) pulled from the lake and kept in a tank alongside the Saibling, pulled out just before being cooked and served. Absolutely fabulous. My dining partner went for the bed tartare (crazy indescribable little sides served with it), and the fried Steinpilze (porcini, in season) VERY interesting and excellent wine list. It was well worth the hour drive for us. We'll be making that trip a lot!

Service was super efficient and the servers speak good English. Price is not bad, given this is such a touristy spot. Be aware, it's difficult to find seating outside cause everyone wants to sit by the view. And no reservations. So you will just have to wait for tables to become available. Highly recommended!

Avoid this place if you want food. We had know idea going to the village was super close once you…read moreexit the funicular, walk 10 minutes to Hallstatt Village for restaurants. If you want a cup of coffee/tea then it's worth it to sit outside to enjoy the view. Otherwise this place is way over priced and the service was not pleasant. If you want coffee, order at the bar and pay. Stand there and wait for your drinks. If you want to dine in, go seat yourself. There are more tables upstairs. The same person taking coffee orders at the bar was the same person that took our orders so you can imagine the wait once we were seated. He was the same person that brought out our food. In the end, if you pay cash, then you'll have to pay at the bar because they don't carry change. Or you can pay by credit card on the spot. The menu selection was limited. Austria is all about the schnitzel so we got that with a side of potato salad and cup of cafe melange. The food was okay and knowing that you could get more options for much lower price at the village was killing me.

Sometimes you get tricked.....by the first view..... To be true, the food was of very mediocre quality and the service was slow, slow, slow, slow. Schneiderwirt is offering very low quality meat, deep frozen cheap vegetables and nothing from this kitchen is even nearly fresh or reasonable quality. This place will see us never again. Never ever.

Perfectly cooked, in generous portions (I had an entire Saigling you pay on weight. 530g!) and so delicious it was the highlight of my journey! For a perfect Austrian experience, you can sit outside in their inner garden and enjoy some live traditional music and waitresses on Dirdnl, the traditional austrian dress. To bad it's a bit pricey. But it's not the priceI'll remember, but the amazing moment I spent there!

When we asked for a…read moretable at the front, we were directed inside and had the indoor portion of the restaurant practically to ourselves! No reservation made in advance or required at that time of day. Inside was cool with rustic wooden decor and furnishings. Menu contained many of the classic Austrian dishes that we were looking to fill up our stomachs. Portions looked big but it was also nice to find some options that came in smaller plates so we could make sure that we left enough room for one of their desserts. We took a little longer to nail down our meal and we ended up getting some very basic dishes: The small plate of Austrian meatballs were quite tasty with a savory sauce and creamy mashed potatoes. The veal schnitzel was huge and took up more than 3/4 of the plate with a few boiled potatoes. Nice crunch on the outside and juicy veal on the inside but the potatoes were a bit plain. The crowning end to our meal was one of the city's famous desserts, the Salzburg Nockerl. We actually switched from the apple strudel at the last minute so we had to wait a little extra time before the nockerl was served. It's not an easy dessert to make though its main ingredients were eggs, sugar and a little flour. The 3 browned peaks were impressive when served. The raspberry sauce on the bottom provided a sweet add. It was very close to a soufflé with a very airy like texture that melted in the mouth. Well worth the 24.9 Euros charged and the most expensive dessert of our trip. We had great service from the staff and easily accommodate our change our minds on the dessert. We closed our tab at the table and would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting some good food options.

We went with the local favorites The Goulosh plater with dumplings and a Bratwurst to share each. Although I never drink beer, I opted to try thier local brew. Our server Simone was very nice and gave us some of her local suggestions. The Fiod was very tasty! The Goulosh was the right amount for lunch and a huge dumpling ball to go with it. the Bratwurst was good but no bread with it. more of a meal with potatos. All the service was great in this old world 162 year old establishment.
