Wonderful local meal…read more Great service. We had the tasting menu. Each dish had a strong balance of flavors with some interesting twists. Land and sea. Meat and fruit. I think the scallops were my favorite, or maybe the dessert. Or maybe the views of the Rhine. Everything was very fresh and the waiter explained the local sourcing and care put into each dish.

My friend and I had our last dinner in Austria at Haslauerhof. We were driving back to Vienna after…read morespending a day or two in Burgenland, and Haslauerhof is in the perfect location - within 10 minutes of the Vienna airport, where we were going to spend a night at a hotel on the airport property. The restaurant is located in Haslau an der Donau, and it has incredible views of the river (FYI Donau = Danube). The restaurant is lovely, quite beautiful, even though I don't think they were seating anyone on their gorgeous patio when we were there (maybe it's more of a brunch or lunch patio). The restaurant is in the Michelin Guide; it has a Bib Gourmand rating ("good quality, good value cooking), and I can see why. They brought us a bread course and a little amuse bouche, which was a nice touch. We were unfortunately pretty worn down by a few days of touristing and didn't have much of an appetite (and I couldn't have anything to drink, because I need to drive us to drop off the rental car). So we only ordered an entree each. I wish we'd been hungrier and less tired, because the food was very good. We had our last schnitzel of the trip as well as a lovely seafood dish. The service was as good as the food; we felt very welcome and taken care of. The restaurant was a great choice for our last dinner of the trip. I'd certainly eat there again.

The Mole West in an elegant restaurant located in the surroundings of Vienna, at the Neusiedler…read moreSee, the typical recreational area of the fancy Viennese, or in other words, the not so secret getaway, since it is just about 50 km (30 miles) outside of Vienna's city center. Here in the Mole West restaurant you take place on the pier right at the lakeside, and you can feel that your pace will become slower and slower. It is totally relaxing here at this popular lake, the Neusiedler See, one of Europe's largest steppe lakes which is at its deepest point less than 2 meters (6 feet) deep. We got a Moroccan Stew, a beef in mint herb sauce and saffron rice, as well as Spaghetti Bolognese with parmesan. Both were delicious albeit the Moroccan Stew tasted a little peculiar, but since it was my first Moroccan dish, I guess it had to be that way. The staff is friendly at this touristy place but the prices are in the upper midrange segment. So for your money you get much lakeside and atmosphere. With Love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

The Mole Burger was plain terrible, with a horrendous amount of dry and tasteless meat inside, for EUR 16. Quantity alone does not make a meal good. The falafel dish during one of our previous stays was dry and cold. The shrimp and chips dish is still quite tasty, which I will resort to in future stays. Come to the Mole more for chilling out and drinks. Food is optional.
