History
Given the steep parking fees that restaurant guests also face along the shore of Lake Grundlsee, one is glad that the Seehotel’s service staff works so efficiently. Shortly after ordering, dishes such as fish soup with garlic baguette or gnocchi with dried tomatoes are already on the table. The root meat is served in a pot, while the breaded chicken comes with a potato and pea salad that would certainly appreciate a marinade with a bit more kick. Anyone still craving dessert can choose between blackberries with mascarpone and quark dumplings with strawberry-rhubarb ragout. In summer, you should definitely reserve a table on the terrace.
