The story
Fischerwirt in Steyr serves honest Austrian cooking through a kitchen built on decades of family tradition. Franz Harthaller guides the operation alongside his wife Anneliese while adapting seasonal harvests to classic country recipes. The Gault&Millau guide highlights the steady output of generous plates and precise execution. Souschef Stefanie Nutz and pastry chef Carina Greindl maintain these standards across every service.
Diners frequently order the stuffed pork belly served with warm bacon cabbage salad. This Austrian kitchen also prepares butter mushroom risotto during autumn months and finishes meals with apricot quark dumplings. Freshwater fish arrives daily from the adjacent Enns reservoir fishing grounds. Smoked trout and sea trout fillets appear regularly when the water temperature allows.
A complete interior renovation in March 2019 replaced the old vaulted ceiling with bright spaces overlooking the river. The main dining hall keeps its traditional wooden bar and communal seating for regulars. Families often gather in the modern stüberl or relax in the sunlit garden terrace. Large windows frame the evening light as boats pass along the calm water.

History
The family-run inn stands out for its generous portions and honest pub fare. Be sure to check out the daily special, which in our case was a tender stuffed pork belly served with warm bacon and cabbage salad. The menu changes seasonally, featuring a variety of tomatoes and lukewarm porcini mushrooms, porcini risotto, or apricot and quark dumplings for dessert. Its dedicated beer list offers a wonderful selection of brews from private breweries. Large children's playground in the garden!
