The story
Landgasthof Hinterleithner in Ybbs an der Donau presents a refined take on regional Austrian cuisine along the Danube. Hans Jörg Hinterleithner builds his menu around the established flavors of the Waldviertel area while applying precise technique and creative direction. His cooking style frequently merges local produce with gentle international notes, reflecting the Southeast Asian heritage of service lead Angeli. This consistent execution secured a strong 15-point assessment from Gault&Millau for the upcoming season.
The kitchen highlights fresh river catches like thinly marinated salmon trout served alongside verjus kohlrabi and herb oil. Grilled green asparagus arrives during spring months, dressed with wild garlic mayonnaise and toasted dukkah spices. Dairy elements remain central to the daily menu, particularly the rich milk lamb agnolotti resting in a delicate cream sauce. Guests also order the comforting potato gnocchi with peas and a structured chocolate sphere accompanied by tropical mango ice.
The dining room sits directly on the riverbank, offering a relaxed environment that suits both midday lunches and extended evening meals. Located just outside Vienna and Linz, the venue maintains the consistent pace of a traditional country inn while serving a modern Austrian cooking style. Wooden tables face the water and surrounding slopes, creating a calm backdrop for conversation. The space operates Wednesday through Saturday, allowing the team to prioritize precision over volume.
