After having been on the road for several weeks already and not always eating the best food throughout the day, I decided to treat myself to a vegetable-forward dinner. A quick internet research led me to this place and I made a reservation for one. I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, this was the best meals I've had in a long time. What I loved most about this place is how they structured their menu: vegan and vegetarian dishes first and then - almost as an afterthought- come the meat dishes. Well done! I'd cycle all the way to Linz again for this place.

I'm sorry, but I was left terribly unimpressed with this place…read more I was with a group touring Linz, and we had booked this place to have lunch. While I understand that the options in terms of food will vary, I still hold them to the same standard of food quality, and some standard of service. Here goes... Service: Service was good, considering we were a very large group. However, there was bread on the table, and the group and restaurant had to debate whether or not it was free. I get that serving bread before the meal for free is not customary in Austria, but why put bread in the middle of tables if it might cost money... and how do you intend to have people pay for a communal bread bowl? Food: Out of the given options to my group, I chose the beef soup, the chicken, and a salad was provided to everyone. Beef soup was beefy salty broth with small pieces of pancake noodles. Not a piece of beef in sight. Salad from the salad bar was good! There was a good variety of ingredients available, and ingredients were fresh and of good quality. Chicken, as well as the rice and vegetables that came with it, were cooked perfectly. However, the sauce/marinade with the chicken while pleasant made the chicken way over salted. Vegetables and rice lacked any seasoning whatsoever; they were just boiled rice and vegetables. Suffice it to say, if and when I visit Linz again, I will not be returning to this location.

Dinner here was fine, but not the 4.5 star experience Yelp led us to believe. Yelpers so…read morerecommended this place that we tried to go our first night in town, and were advised that it might be a 30 minute wait -- but the staff *also* told the 7 parties ahead of us that it might be a 30 minute wait for them, too. So we went elsewhere. We went back the next night at an off-hour and while the food was fine, I would have been highly disappointed had we waited in line for 30 minutes, let alone 2 or more hours. This restaurant has a prime location and a strong online reputation. And perhaps our experience was impacted by the fact that we went at an off-hour. Still, there are much better options, with equal character, available across the city. Consider branching out -- and check my other Salzburg reviews for other alternatives.

We came in around 5pm for an early dinner before our train back to Munich and was able to grab a table for 4. We got incredibly lucky because the restaurant really filled up and by the time we left, there was a long line down the block. Of course we had to have their Original Wiener Schnitzel, which was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also had a Salzburger Nockerl, which is a classic Austrian soufflé dessert that is considered a culinary symbol of Salzburg. You do have to order this about 20 minutes in advance, so we ordered it when we made our entree orders. This was really good and honestly, more than enough for our group of 4. I also highly recommend their house beer, which was one of the best beers I had during our 10 day trip.

They have a cozy atmosphere both inside and outside, the service is excellent (if we pretend no seeing the cyclo-pants on a young waitress), and they are pretty creative for Lipno standards as well. Coming for lunch, you would be pleased by a fresh and affordable menu (their soups are excellent, but the true is, that I am always nuts for good soups). The standard dinner menu is nice as well, creatively adopting local seasonal food like chanterelles ("lisky") and blueberries, but offering also quail eggs and snails, for those of us who want to go this route. Their pancakes are delicious ("Domaci livance s jahodovou omackou", 89 Kc) as well as our traditional Czech meals ("svickova", "koprovka", "kachnicka"). The wine list is OK, full of bottles from good Moravian wineries, and although the waiter has not been using the sommelier serviette while presenting us a sparkling wine Chateau Radyne Extra Brut at 389 Kc, it tasted super nice in the sweet Lipno sunset. We will be coming back. Often.

I liked the spinach ravioli the best, with lots of spinach and cheese stuffed into fresh pasta sheets. The beef goulash was served in a basic tomato sauce, but there were only few pieces of beef (1 star off). The pork chop was hearty with all that cheese piled on top. I liked how they offered several salad options too, as I was missing having a big salad after traveling in Germany and Austria. Lastly, my favorite item here was actually their "Cremeschnitte" (cream sandwiched between phyllo dough); the cream was absolutely divine. The portions were large already, but I wished I had ordered two of those cakes. It was that good!

One of the most magical places I have set my foot on, twice so far, so it is time I also write an…read moreode to it. Its fame is not only based on the incredible food, but the whole property around the restaurant - including the old stalls transformed into guestrooms of most amazing design, and the picturesque region where it is situated (still need to try out the barefoot walk!), and the modernized but antique setting on one hand, and welcoming and friendly hosts on the other - have got all the potential to blow your mind. There is this huge sign "Griaß Di" next to the road, and that is really what they mean here. From the moment you enter, you feel welcome and comfortable, and no one is trying to judge whether you also parked something very expensive outside. I mean - with an average total of around 50-60 eur per person for a normal dinner - appetizer, dessert and a couple of glasses of something included, this is not the most posh restaurant one can think of, but still, compared to some other places of its kind, their warm and open and not full-of-oneself approach is a refreshing experience every time. On the other hand, the price is really reasonable - for the overall experience they provide here, and in comparison again, they are in fact nice to your wallet indeed. Already the first time I went, I wanted to take a photo of every detail. The plates were the most beautiful I had set my eyes on, and in that setting, I thought they also must be extremely old. Then it turned out I can buy them too, since they are made by some local pottery. That is a lucky circumstance indeed - you can buy all the plates and some of the local products they use at the restaurant and take with you. But what impressed me most from the very first moment was the extremely successful combination of old and new, in every area, starting with the design of that Griaß Di sign. Taking a selfie in the toilet made sense for the first time too. Second time I went, I was a bit less delighted with my food than with all the rest, but it didn't affect my overall opinion of this heaven on earth. It was still the finest food, and I can't claim I know how the Kürbiscremesuppe really should be. Maybe I like how I cook it most because it is spiced with chili rather than salt. But on this culinary level, I only suppose the fine difference you must make to normal great-tasting food can also involve that the soup goes in the direction of some very fine salty sauce for a bit, whether I like it or not. Also, just an impression of mine was that the Gansl roast, even though with the crispiest skin that there is in the world, was a bit too "brav" - I would normally prefer it a bit greasier ("wenn schon - denn schon"), though having it so "mager" must probably be the best way to have it. (Ok, that must be the most carefully stated critical opinion ever.) However, I got a bit bored with chewing soon, and the others finished it off. The way food is served is a chapter for itself. Every time, some of the traditionally but quite stylishly dressed members of staff (I had no idea how well long dreadlocks match with a Dirndl) will come to your table carrying e.g. an authentic rustic old pot out of which they pour the soup, explaining what is what if need may be, but they also don't mind bringing the whole grating mill and doing the final dessert preparation in front of you. I could go on and on about Steirereck am Pogusch, but to cut my ode short, if anywhere near Austria, you simply don't want to miss this ultimate highlight that came straight out of a fairy tale.

We went on a Thursday, "slaughter day", and were met with a T-Bone steak the size of Texas and a menu filled with "inner delights". It's not my thing, so I went for the potato soup and shared the duck with my husband. He thoroughly enjoyed the beef tartar as well. The themed menu is a plus and we also enjoyed the "blood" sekt (isabella/concord grape juice) apertif. For dessert I devoured the grilled pears with an eierlikoer frappe and my husband tried the "blood" strudel. Excellent! And I am not sure why people complain about the price. It was actually really reasonable concerning the quality of the food and service and the unique setting. Four people, all having at least two drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts, was only 150 EUR. We had a coupon for 200 EUR and tried our hardest to spend it!! We will definitely put the rest towards our next visit. Tip: try not to book on a holiday or weekend. Weekdays are easy to book and we had no problem calling just a few days ahead of time. Don't email though, you probably won't get a response.
