The story
Genusswerk in Kirchheim im Innkreis delivers a refined approach to Austrian cuisine that has earned a twelve point rating from Gault&Millau. Chef Jürgen Grünsteidl and hostess Petra launched the project in 2018 to realize a long held culinary dream. Their kitchen prioritizes fresh local produce and meticulous preparation over complicated trends. Each dish follows the natural rhythm of the growing season.
The à la carte selection highlights specific regional proteins like pike perch cutlets and corn raised house chicken. Guests frequently order the rich beef bone broth alongside vegetable risotto prepared with spring asparagus and fresh strawberries. A fixed three course weekly start menu appears every Monday evening to showcase the chef’s current seasonal vision. These dishes demonstrate how the Austrian kitchen balances rustic comfort with precise technique.
The restaurant sits directly adjacent to a local sports airport, allowing guests to watch aircraft take off and land from the terrace. This unique setting pairs naturally with a relaxed afternoon service that includes salads, warm starters, and homemade pastries. Visitors seeking a quieter break from daily routines often choose the extended lunch hours before the main dinner shift begins. The unpretentious space keeps the focus squarely on the food and steady hospitality.
