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.

Came here after seeing excellent reviews on Yelp…read more Not impressed. Waited about 15 mins to get seated even though multiple tables were empty. The staff is limited and looks exhausted. Quite tight seating. Restrooms are not accessible by people with limited mobility. No baby changing stations. The food is okay. The schnitzel was fine and so was lamb. Okay to eat but not memorable. Caprese salad was tasty. In conclusion, if you are passing by and hungry, feel free to stop by. If you are looking for a memorable lunch/dinner experience, plan to visit a different establishment.

They may seem half empty at times but that's because most tables are reserved. The soup with fried pancakes was delicious.

While on its own it can get a bit one note, if you pair it with the sauces and potatoes, it's a wonderful mix. Service is fine, but food is delicious and a local nearby rightfully raved about it

We have tasted their Pumpkin Soup (2.90 Euro), as well as the Extra Wurst Salad (5.30 Euro). Both tasty. The Wine List is not at all impressive for the Wachau Region, we have tasted the Gruener Veltliner Federspiel 2012 from Domaine Wachau (3.20 Euro per 1/8 litre), which was not an impressive choise, but OK. The bathrooms inside are pretty nice, and the inside restaurant look a bit like a cellar.

After a early morning tour, our group met and walked over to Zum weißen Rauchfangkehrer for our lunch... about 35 people. We all grabbed a seat at the family style tables and prepared ourselves for what was about to be a very [very] robust lunch. Happily, everything was picked out for us. Our first course was a beef broth soup with one very large dumpling. Rich-tasty and delicious. Our main meal consisted of Schnitzel with potato salad. This was and remains the best schnitzel of the trip. Delicious, fresh and incredibly tasty. And, of course, we hd to end with a Strudel. This was just amazing. I also loved all the wines that we had throughout the meal The old style decor of this shop was wonderful and the service team was amazing, friendly, and helpful.

But it was a Sunday evening and all was closed, quite, silent. Therefore, we decided try that famous Knoll place, which is usually pretty busy ... and a bit posh. But I have to tel you, we have got the best experience. Great soups (a Fish Soup with safran, a Goose Soup with liver dumplings), Roasted Pork with Dumplings, a delicious Tafelspitz, and Plum Dumplings, hmm. All accompanied with a wonderfully fresh Gruener Veltliner Federspiel Knoll 2012. The pride of this restaurant is its spacy orchard garden, of course, but it was too late and too cold to sit outside. So we were inside this time, in a nice and clean, blue-green interier, with nice white tables. We will be definitely coming back. Thank you!
