AUSTRIA'S
FIVE BEST RESTAURANTS
Gault Millau’s Top Rated “Toque” Winnners
When the weather
takes on the winter chill, a cozy fire and award winning cuisine gets
all the
better. The Gault Millau guide known for its “toques” (chef’s
hats) rather than Michelin's stars and focused on the quality of the
food rates Austria’s restaurant every year, and for this last year
of the decade, here are the five best. Some of these extraordinary dining
experiences are in the heart of Austria’s fascinating cities of
culture and history, others may take a bit of a drive with a handy GPS
for the trip up a mountain road, surrounded by gorgeous Austrian scenery.
But the drive may be worth a stay at the elegant hotels were some of
them reside.
THE HOTEL RESTAURANT HUBERTUS
The Restaurant Hubertus
(Hubertushof) is located 30 minutes south of the city of Salzburg,
noted for its
famous Music Festival, the birthplace
of Mozart (see Mozart in Salzburg), and the “Sound of Music” in
the village of Filzmoos. Chef Johanna Maier is one of Austria’s
culinary celebrities and the only female chef that has ever been awarded
four toques by Gault Millau and honored as a Grand Chef of the Relais & Châteaux.
Maier’s elegantly designed culinary creations are influenced by
Asian, French and Austrian cuisine, but they all bear her unique style
which is hard to fit into just one category. With nearly twenty-four
miles of river rapids and two lakes on the mountain property, fresh fish
especially trout features prominently on the menu served in the light
and cozy modern ambiance. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays,
but open all holidays. Hotel Hubertus
HOTEL RESTAURANT OBAUER
The
family owned hotel and restaurant of the Obauer brothers is found nearby
in the
town of Werfen,
which lies nestled in the Salzach Valley,
between the limestone cliffs of the Tennen Mountains and the powerful
Hochkönig Massif (“High King Ridge”). A highlight for
gourmets who discover this region’s gem of a restaurant. Chefs
Karl and Rudy work culinary wonders with an exciting menu of new creations
as well as classic dishes of the house – such as trout strudel,
catfish with caper sauce, Werfen lamb and cream-cheese lemon mousse.
, the highlight among this regions’ various attractions is the
family owned hotel/restaurant where Karl and Rudi Obauer are working
culinary wonders. They are committed to using only seasonal produce from
regional vendors. Hotel

STEIRERECK
The Steiereck in the heart of the Imperial City of Vienna was the first Austrian restaurant to win four Gault Millau toppers many years ago and has kept them ever since. This culinary institution in Vienna's Stadtpark, known for its fabulous modern Austrian food, is the for the moment only four star bastion in Vienna, noted for elegant ambiance and excellent service to complement the finesse of the dishes created by chef Heinz Reitbauer. For a less pricey meal with the same flair, the restaurant Meierei is right next door.. In this airy, modern setting you can sample 120 varieties of cheese from all around the world, enjoy hot Viennese pastries and fresh baked strudel - as well as classic Viennese dishes and even 4-course menus from the Steiereck’s kitchen. Restaurant Steireck
TAUBENKOBEL
In 1984 Eveline and Walter Eselböck bought an old farmhouse in Schützen of the Bergen land, a delightful wine-growing village close to the Neusiedler See, under an hour from Vienna, and converted it into a restaurant, the Taubenkobel. Walter Eselböck had no classic restaurant training, but his new found interest in cooking was greeted by a stroke of luck and blessed by fate. The Taubenkobel had become one of the best restaurants in Austria by the 1990s. Chef Eselböck has his own unique uncompromising style, which perfectly combines creativity, regional produce and unconventional thinking. The culinary masterpiece that is the Taubenkobel restaurant is complemented by a small and romantic Relais & Chateau hotel, plus a gourmet food and wine shop. Restaurant Taubenkobel
GRIGGELER STUBA
The Griggeler Stuba in Lech am Arlberg at the Burg Vital Hotel has all the ingredients that make a gourmet restaurant truly inspiring, with Chef Probost, a master in his field, featuring top-quality ingredients, creative compositions emphasizing the intrinsic flavor of the natural products in an atmosphere of comfortable elegance. Chef Thorsten Probost won the most coveted award as Austria's "Chef of the Year" for 2008 for his signature cuisine full of ideas but without pretentiousness. Diners can experience a new world of flavors far beyond Mediterranean rosemary and sage - Japanese water pepper combined with fruity-sweet stevia and green pepper basil. In addition to exotic herbs originating in many different countries including Japan and Mexico, Pobost works with unique herbs local to the Austrian alpine of pimpernel, wood sorrel, yarrow and lovage.
