The story
Landhotel Lindenhof in Feld am See presents a Gault&Millau-recognized Slow Food kitchen where Chef Martin Schretter crafts individual dishes from a flexible menu. Guests select from creations such as an Ossobuco served with polenta alongside root vegetables and Eierschwammerln, or a spicy Ceviche of salmon trout paired with melon and nectarine. This approach allows the culinary team to highlight regional ingredients while incorporating global flavors.
The award-winning kitchen team operates under Chef Martin Schretter and Maitre d'hôtel Christoph Zach, delivering a cooking style rooted in Slow Food principles yet open to innovation. The menu shifts without fixed plans, emphasizing freshness and variety across five distinct taste journeys. Standout preparations include a creamy paprika soup infused with Asian aromas and a whole fish dish that demonstrates the kitchen's consistent mastery of aquatic ingredients.
The restaurant favors à la carte dining over set menus. This flexibility gives diners the freedom to explore diverse options throughout the week. Vegetarians find ample choice alongside vegan varieties. Meat lovers might prefer the fried ox-heart tomato accompanied by burrata. Freshwater fish remains a staple, with a Bouillabaisse made from fish sourced within the Gegendtal region offering a rich alternative that reflects the hotel's dedication to Slow Food sourcing.
Beyond the dining room, Landhotel Lindenhof functions as a welcoming home for couples, families, and cyclists exploring the Nockberge region. The property distinguishes itself with a floating vintage bicycle gallery spanning three floors and a Greisslerei stocked with local delicacies. Hosted by Angelika and Hannes Nindler, the hotel combines this distinctive decor with a reputation for friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere that encourages guests to linger.
The morning begins with a unique breakfast featuring ingredients sourced from a 55 km radius, setting a standard of local quality before guests head out for activities. Visitors can also visit the shop to purchase gourmet products for their stay, extending the connection to the region long after leaving the table. Wellness facilities by the lake provide a quiet counterpoint to the hotel's energetic focus on cycling and outdoor exploration.

History
Fine à la carte dining is now available again at the Lindenhof, operating on continuous weekly hours without fixed menus. Guests can freely choose from tempting dishes such as a paprika cream soup with Asian flavors, an excellent bouillabaisse featuring fish from the Gegendtal region, or a sophisticated, slightly spicy salmon trout ceviche with melon, nectarine, and pumpkin seed oil. In contrast, the fried oxheart tomato with burrata is rather unremarkable. You can never go wrong with the whole fish here, but what truly delights us is the ossobuco served with polenta, root vegetables, and cèpes. Given such creativity and a well-curated wine selection, you can easily forgive the delayed service.
