Wirtshaus zum Zirkelwirt

We ordered soup with dumplings, salad, and Wiener schnitzel. The restaurant is located in the very center, and we had no problems sitting down during the day on a weekday. Usually, places like this cook mediocre food at inflated prices. Here, the price was indeed higher, but the taste was good. The soup with dumplings was a bit empty; apart from the dumplings, there wasn’t much else in it. The salad was good, with plenty of yogurt-vinegar dressing, which was tasty. The schnitzel was also good and served with lemon and cranberry jam. It was a large portion, but at a price of 28 euros, that was to be expected. The only thing that disappointed me was the pressure to leave a tip. We requested the bill, they brought the terminal, and said we could leave 10 or 20 percent for a tip. What do we choose? We left 10%. It's not that we minded the amount, but to me, this kind of pressure is unacceptable.

Kurtis Cafe & Bakery in the tree house Kurtis Cafe & Bäckerei im Baumhaus

We sat outside. They brought our order to the street. Coffee with a glass of water, and 2 desserts. Yogurt cake and a cream-filled pastry. Surprisingly, the pastry was much tastier than the cake, although the cake was good too. The coffee is delicious.

Weissenbachwirt

We ordered Fritatensuppe and a large piece of beef like goulash with potatoes. I don't remember the name and it's not in the menu. The menu is written in chalk on a board. This board will be brought to your table. The selection is not large. There is a printed menu, but it only includes drinks and sauces. The soup is average, standard like everywhere. The meat is great. The portion is large. The piece is without streaks and fat. It is served with potatoes. The establishment is family-oriented. The food is fresh. The interior is old, authentically Austrian. It is one of the few places with a good rating and a lot of reviews. The service is pushy. While you were eating, the owner of the establishment who is also the waiter came over to talk about three times. He didn't let you think clearly about your choice. They only accept cash.

Gasthaus Kohlhof Abtenau

We ordered Fleischkrapfen with sauerkraut, a soup whose name I don't remember, but it is listed in the menu as a soup for those who are very hungry (costing 10 euros). We also ordered a salad, or a set of salads. A bowl of leafy greens and additionally their potato salad. We ordered 2 cups of tea, and for dessert, Kaiserschmarrn. The soup was presented in a large cup, not much broth, and two dumplings. Two balls, one with meat/bread/and a little cheese inside. The second one had liver/bread. One could even say that the two bread balls had meat and liver added. The dish doesn't seem that big, but it is indeed very filling. The salad was tasty, but ordinary. Even the strange potato salad with vinegar and onions turned out to be quite good. Fleischkrapfen with sauerkraut had beef inside the pastry. The meat was quite dry, but this dish is served with an unusual sauce. It's a buttery-honey sauce. It tastes very strange, but when added to the dish, it combines wonderfully. I would even order this dish a second time if I came back. The dish is served with cabbage. I didn't like the cabbage. It was sour, hot, in general not very pleasant for me. We took the Kaiserschmarrn home since we were full and could no longer eat anything more. After cooling down, Kaiserschmarrn is not as tasty anymore. It must be eaten right away. I liked the restaurant. Very friendly staff, delicious dishes. Prices are reasonable. But perhaps the main thing is the view from the restaurant, or what can be seen from the terrace. The whole city is laid out before you. It is worth coming here, and also eating deliciously. The road to the restaurant is single-lane, uphill, and not fenced. You drive along a cliff. Moreover, the traffic is two-way. When a car comes towards you, you have to back up and look for a ledge where you can stop to let the oncoming traffic pass. I can't imagine how people drive there in winter. But the place and the restaurant are worth it.

Bäckerei Christian Berger

They only accept cash. The buns are very tasty. We took 2 buns, Obstplunder and Zimtschnecke Lotus-Caramel. And also 2 coffees. The pastry is very delicious. The Lotus-Caramel has a sprinkle like gingerbread biscoff, with cinnamon and cream inside. It's not dry. The coffee is mediocre.

Bernold

One of the few places that was open despite the holiday. We ordered 2 cakes and 2 coffees. The coffee is very tasty. The cakes are rich, an acquired taste. One is a coffee cake with chewy meringue. The second one is dry, despite a large amount of cream. It's not amazing, but it's not terrible either. Good for one time. There were many people, perhaps because almost everything else is closed. Overall, it's worth coming to try different types of cakes. You might find something you like.

Restaurant Der Stadtwirt

We ordered 2 soups, Klare Rindsuppe mit Frittaten, Kärntner Kasnudeln, Wiener Schnitzel, a large mixed salad bowl, homemade lemonade, and apple strudel. We waited about 20 minutes for each course. The soup was average. During a week of traveling in Austria, I had tasted better soup. The broth was not rich, it was just like water with a Maggi bouillon cube. When broth is cooked with meat, it always has fatty traces. It does not look like water with beef flavor. I had something similar a few days ago in a remote village in a small diner, but not in a restaurant. The schnitzel was tasty. It was evenly cooked, and the breading was also uniform. It was well pounded, and the meat was tender. The Kärntner Kasnudeln was filled with ricotta, cottage cheese, and I think there was a bit of potato as well. It was delicious. The strudel was ordinary, like everywhere else. It was apple strudel. It was served with cream from a can. The salad was typical. It felt like a supermarket mix in a clear plastic container. Since I travel a lot, I often buy it. It had lettuce leaves, corn, beans, and carrots. And very, very much vinaigrette dressing. There was so much that by the end, the leftovers were just floating in the dressing. Despite being well mixed, at times the salad seemed frankly sour. The lemonade was mediocre. Mineral water, lemon juice, a mint leaf, and some red syrup. Not tasty. I have mixed feelings about the restaurant. If you know which dishes to order, you can eat well. Half of the dishes were disappointing. Prices were like everywhere else. I would return if it were like this time, with all the other places closed, but I would try something different.

MARTIN AUER

We had a pistachio croissant, something else, and coffee. The croissant is tasty, buttery, but almost without filling. Yes, there is some, but very little. The coffee is mediocre.
