The views across the vineyards were lovely. the service easy and informative. We chose Sour Blood Sausage in vinegar, the cheese plate, blood sausage with horseradish and mustard and the sheep cheese in aioli/pesto. it was all delicious and easily one of the best meals we have had in our 4 weeks stay in Wachau. I would love to have had time to work my way through those sour dishes. Highly Recommended. I think it was the first turning of the street as you walk into Durnstein village. Big beers and chilled white wine to wash it down.

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 stopped here on a bike tour through the Wachau Valley and everyone really enjoyed the wine here…read more We tried 3 or 4 different wines and all were really tasty and delicious. The service was friendly and the ladies working there even were wearing dirndl dresses. The place is really cute, both outside and inside. You can't go wrong with making stop here. Also, make sure to try the apricot drink there! It's super different but tastes amazing!

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.

Frankly, Knoll Loibnerhof was not our first choice for the late October evening, as we lived in…read moreDurnstein (2 km from there), and we were looking for some restaurant in Durnstein. 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!

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.
