It is also a great place to take kids. they are very kid friendly, with a big play room to send your kids to, while you have a cold large glass of the local beer(s). Worth taking a trip to, even if it is off the beaten path. BTW, they have a great speciality meat and cheese store across the street, you have to take a look at.

Staying in Villach for 2 nights, we tried to come here on the 1st night but arrived to town too…read morelate due to a missed flight. The restaurant was closed when we stopped by around 10 p.m. on a Thurs night. I don't know why this surprised me since I thought it would be open later during the summer. We came back on Friday night and it was packed. It was a little confusing to figure out how we get seated....did we ask to be seated or just sit down when a table opened up? It seemed to be the 2nd option but is awkward when multiple groups are standing and waiting. Once we were seated (outside), I ordered the schnitzel with potatoes. As pics show, the portion is large so I couldn't eat all of it. It was good though. Service was a little odd and unfriendly but our food came out promptly. The menu had English subsections which was helpful. The overall vibe of the place was nice and I enjoyed the experience.

We did get stared at a bit seeing that we were obviously not from the area, but it didn't deter us nor did anything occur that changed out experience. Our server was attentive, funny and absolutely a delight. He was always making sure we had a glass of wine in our hands and food in front of us. We had such a good time that we actually stayed to close! This restaurant has incredible food, however it serves a lot of pork and has limited choices if you're vegan. Just keep that in mind. Besides that, I definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for some great and traditional foods.

Their home-made Apfelstrudel is simply the best there is!…read more Warm, tasty, the apples perfectly well cooked with the right amount of cinnamon, the dough so thin... It is served with some vanilla ice cream (and whipped cream if you wish some) which makes it even more delicious... The rest of their meals are tasty as well, typically Austrian: good food, big portions, friendly waiters and very correct prices! Thumbs up for their Gulasch (quote: "hmmm... The best I ever had!) Actually, we had to wait quite a while before getting our orders and then getting the bill, but the food was so good and this local is so comfy we didn't really mind ;) A must go to any one looking for a true Austrian dinner!
