Werneckhof Sigi Schelling

Since the summer of 2021, when Sigi Schelling struck out on her own at the time-honoured Werneckhof near the English Garden, she has remained true to her own culinary concept. She offers modernised and updated versions of classic dishes such as perfectly roasted, butter-tender loin and aromatic sweetbreads from first-class Poltinger lamb, served with fine parsley puree and tomato polenta with a light fruity note. Her pared-down approach is a clear nod to the 14 years she spent working under Hans Haas at Tantris. The "Business Lunch" comprises three or four courses, while in the evening a more sophisticated five-course set menu is served. Dark wood panelling and mouldings retain the character of yesteryear, while elegant armchairs, striking chandeliers and artworks make for a touch of modern elegance. An appealing setting in which to enjoy attentive and highly competent service including expert wine recommendations. The atmosphere is pleasantly lively and casual.
