Amidst the listed historic wood paneling and fine fabrics, guests feel instantly welcome. The warm service also lives up to the Sacher name, for example when mixing the hand-minced tartare prepared right in front of the guest or filleting the whole local freshwater fish at an adjacent table. Chef Michael Gahleitner offers a lovely mix of proven comfort classics and more ambitious creations on his menu. Delicious, for instance, is the quail duo served with pine nut cream and a rich jus. Worth mentioning are the desserts, which are at a very high standard both in flavor and craftsmanship, such as the milk chocolate, raspberry, and tonka bean variation.
