The story
Schloss Hochhaus in Vorchdorf anchors a steadfast commitment to Austrian cuisine within a historic castle setting. The recent Gault&Millau thirteen point rating recognizes how the kitchen preserves genuine Wirtshaus culture while refining every plate. Chefs prioritize straightforward techniques that let regional ingredients speak clearly, balancing heavy comfort food with lighter seasonal preparations.
The rotating midday menu features a Duroc shoulder burger paired with coleslaw and steakhouse potatoes, alongside crispy Backhendl served with a crisp potato salad. Evening diners frequently order braised beef cheeks or baked ox tail, dishes that showcase the establishment’s reputation for robust Austrian cooking. An occasionally updated Asian influenced soup provides a deliberate contrast to the rich meat focused centerpieces.
Guests enter a comfortable dining area that retains the architectural character of the original building. Wooden fixtures and subdued lighting create a quiet environment suited for both quick lunches and extended evening meals. Regular patrons appreciate how the space feels lived in rather than staged, allowing the quality of the Austrian fare to take center stage.

History
At Schloss Hochhaus, traditional tavern culture truly comes alive! The historic ambiance is cozy and the kitchen knows exactly what it’s doing. Guests can expect Austrian tavern fare, served in such concentrated form – and yes, quite meat-heavy – that you rarely find anymore. Alongside the staples, the menu also features dishes like baked ox tail. The braised beef cheeks turn out just as brilliantly. International influences are also present, for instance in an Asian-infused soup. You leave the house full – and above all, happy.
