Geschwister Rauch: Modern Austrian Cuisine in Feldbach

The Kitchen and Its Dual Approach

Geschwister Rauch serves refined Austrian cuisine in Feldbach, operating a distinct culinary duality where siblings Sonja and Richard Rauch have managed the property for generations. They developed their palate growing up among local vineyards and orchards before taking over the premises. Daytime service focuses on relaxed tavern classics, while evening tables transition into elevated Styrian cooking. Both programs rely on precise sourcing and a quiet respect for seasonal harvests.

Plates That Bridge Tradition and Technique

The seven course dinner frequently features dry aged pork chops and crispy fried chicken alongside carefully plated seasonal vegetables. Richard steps directly to the dining room for these events, ensuring every plate meets exact standards before leaving the pass while keeping mobile devices turned off. A dedicated sommelier pairs each dish with local vintages to balance rich fats and bright acidity, a method that recently secured a top green certification from international culinary guides.

Villa Rosa and the Seasonal Workshop

A restored nineteenth century manor stands just beyond the main dining area, now housing six guest rooms and two private suites. Overnight visitors enjoy a guided morning meal built around the same local suppliers used downstairs. Visitors can also purchase jars and cured goods from the adjacent specialty shop. Richard hosts hands on cooking classes here throughout the year, drawing directly from his four published seasonal volumes.
