Infinity The Restaurant Andau: Modern Cuisine in the Burgenland Countryside

Vision behind the counter

Infinity The Restaurant in Andau presents a refined modern cuisine that transforms Scheiblhofer The Resort into a culinary destination far beyond the typical Burgenland offering. Thomas Sandhofer and Gabor Gróf steer the kitchen, balancing regional produce with global techniques to earn Gault&Millau’s 13.5-point rating. The team approaches each plate as a study in texture and temperature, favoring precise execution over heavy sauces.

Textures and regional flavors

Dining begins with warm Joseph bread served alongside house-made butter, hard sausage, and a rich pumpkin seed spread. This contemporary cooking approach highlights the surrounding wetlands, most notably a velvety Neusiedler See bisque accompanied by crispy fish and a deeply flavored saffron reduction. Other plates like the seared hamachi and the enigmatic “Magic Mushroom” play with contrasting mouthfeels, delivering a noticeable crunch that keeps guests engaged throughout the service.

Design and beverage program

The dining room itself mirrors the precision found on the plates, featuring an ultramodern aesthetic that critics have compared to a sleek cinematic set. This stark, forward-looking backdrop contrasts pleasantly with the rolling countryside visible through the windows. Guests navigate an extensive international wine list here, while those avoiding alcohol can rely on thoughtful alternatives like a bright sparkling Verjus to cut through richer dishes.
