Home cooking

Finely prepared home cooking, with three generations of inspiration

We don't always have everything. But it doesn't matter, because you won't miss out. In our hotel restaurant, you can expect regional and seasonal delicacies stemming from typical Lower Austrian cuisine - whether it's a new take or a traditional recipe, these dishes are inspired by three generations. That's why we completely rely on our own skills. Everything that can be home made, is home made.

Wherever you choose, be it the historic setting of our vaulted rooms, launging under the grape arbours or our decades-old Linden tree, or perhaps cosily in our guest garden, it always best with a good glass of wine. And of course, we have plenty on offer. The creations of top regional winemarkers, award-winning red wines from the Burgenland in Austria, as well as a small and exquisite selection of international favourites are all stored in our wine cellar.

Doesn't it all sounds good? It really is.

Openeing days and kitchentimes:

We are open daily from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.

Whether you're a hotel guest or simply because you want to try a culinary delight.. Come by.

Lower Austrian inn culture

Typical regional specialities, traditional décor and personal attention from hosts. That's Lower Austrian inn culture.

Lower Austrian inn culture

Real hospitality: Fulfilling various quality criteria in terms of our food, wine cellar, ambience and service, a traditional décor with a "Stammtisch" or regulars table and bar, as well as a one-to-one approach from hosts are vital for members of the Lower Austrian inn culture association.

The hotel also has a restaurant serving Austrian cuisine, with a slightly modern twist. The quality is generally very high and prices are very reasonable. Breakfast is also extensive, varied and tasty.
