Nothing could make more sense here in the picturesque Weissensee Nature Park than to align the kitchen philosophy with the natural surroundings – the name of the set menu "BERG.SEE.KÜCHE." ("MOUNTAIN.LAKE.FOOD.") doesn't give away too much. In six courses – plus extras – patron Hannes Müller brings his own signature to creations such as "rhubarb, mountain brook trout, carrot, yarrow, sunflower seeds" or "red cabbage, venison, celery, miso". Light, fresh dishes, flavoured with herbs from the immediate vicinity or fermented foods from the previous season. When it comes to the quality of the ingredients, the restaurant relies on personal links with producers, eg sourcing Krainer Steinschaf mutton from the family's own farm – Zöhrer-Bauernhof. The wine list is centred on Austria, but also includes natural and orange wines. Cordial hostess and sommelier Monika Müller's commitment is palpable. The view from the modern restaurant across the meadows to the lake is fantastic. Stylish and elegant accommodation is available in the hotel of the same name.
