On the Danube. In Spitz. Right in the heart of the Wachau area. Where millions of years ago, my…read morefamily owned vineyards. The Wachau is a lovely area. Produces unique hill wines. And Apricot everything. The liquor is to die for. My fav will always be the home made variety sold on the side of the road. The Strandcafe is a great spot. Excellent food. Excellent service. Spectacular setting.

Charming restaurant right on the riverbank. We had dinner inside since it was raining, though…read morethere are a lot more table outside for nice weather. The inside was tastefully decorated with white tablecloths and candles, though we did not feel too underdressed in jeans. Waiter was very nice and tried very hard to speak English. We ordered beef sous vide and some kind of river or lake fish with creamy tarragon sauce and asparagus. Both were divine. Desserts were a bit odd, hot cheese dumplings with cold plum sauce and a poppyseed cake with strawberry sauce (again cold). Very different and interesting for our American tastes. At any rate, one of the best meals we've had in Austria.

We stayed at the hotel for two very enjoyable nights on a bike tour. Although there are no…read moreelevators the staff was kind enough to bring about very heavy bags both up and down to the lobby. We ate as a group of 7 both nights in their restaurant - asparagus soup; fish; venison - all outstanding!! The staff was overwhelmingly helpful; professional; and genuinely friendly. We highly recommend this wonderful hotel and area (the wineries were so special). Enjoy!!

Walked around Krems looking dinner after a long (100 km) day cycling. Needed protein and…read morevegetables. Schmid's did not disappoint. The huftsteak (which I learned was rump steak) was a satisfying 220 gm and cooked exactly to my specification. I added a pepper sauce and a delicious side of grilled mixed veggies. It was all quite delicious. Schmid's has an extensive beer menu with 7 on tap and a comprehensive range of 80!bottled beers and ciders. In addition, a large number of wines are available. Service was very friendly (staff were fluent with English) and the establishment has an atmosphere that would not be out of place in any university town with touches of corrugated iron and rough sawn (but properly finished) timber and engaging background music. Should I return to Krems am Donau, I'll be coming back to Schmid's for sure.
