2 Best Restaurants in Day Trips from Vienna, Austria

A short walk east from the heart of town, this popular restaurant and wine bar serves inventive twists on Austrian classics: think spinach and feta cheese strudel with garlic sauce, chanterelle mushroom goulash with bread dumplings, and spicy turkey cordon bleu with cranberries and salad. The portions are hearty, the prices are reasonable, and the service is excellent. Choose from an extensive list of Austrian wines to accompany your meal.

This lovingly renovated burgher's house—the town's oldest, built in the 1500s below the even-older Fischerkirche—houses an excellent and imaginative restaurant run by owner and head chef Michael Mooslechner. The menu depends on what's fresh but typically includes local specialties like Wiener schnitzel, Styrian fried chicken, and Esterhazy goulash with spätzle (egg noodles). Finish with the delicious cheese-curd and apricot strudel with whipped cream. In summer, sit out front for views across the main square, including the stork nests on the roofs of Weingut Conrad and the Rathauskeller. There are also four light and spacious apartments available to rent from €160 per night.
