The wienerschnitzel was very dark, a minute more and it would have been burnt. The venison ragout was so dry. And the goulash had hardly any tomato or paprika flavor. We sat outside and were swarmed by bees. Overall, one of our worst meals in lower Austria.

Wonderful place just outside the Abbey Melk. We stopped for lunch and had a schnitzel, local bier,…read moreand a dessert. It got crowded on a Sunday, with reservations for those attending the noon service in the Abbey's chapel. Service was top notch and the staff spoke many languages - menus were also multilingual. We had a beautiful sunny days open to some of the gardens. So that was wunderbar. However, let's be honest we are in Europe, so unfortunately some one was smoking, which took away from our experience. The schnitzel was great - two large pieces and withe the piping hot pomme frites - French fries - was a great meal. I recommend getting both types of mustards - senf, a sweet and a hot. Really nice complement to the hot and crispy frites. The Apple Strudel in cream sauce was a tasty treat and perfect end to a great meal. Highly recommend this meal and restaurant!

It looked really nice and I was hoping the food would be ok but it was just ordinary food that tasted slightly flavour less. The menu is big and has lots of local and international food. I decided to order to Tafelspitz and I was truly disappointed. This is one Austrian dish I absolutely love and they make it so well but, this place did is poorly. The meat was tender and nice but totally bland and flavour less. It was also so noisy here as there was a bus load of tourists stopping for lunch and it was chaos. This also affected the service quality and made the lovely atmosphere unpleasant. I would not make the mistake of coming here again. Down below in town there are many places to dine :-)

The garden is quite nice since you get the view of the Danube and on sunny day you can hide below the trees. Inside there is nothing much special about the place. Service is ok but not super friendly, food as well.
