Onion brioche, beurre blanc and choux - Alain Weissgerber flexes his French muscles time and again. In between comes veal or garden vegetables from the open fire. Top cuisine at its best!

Hauptstraße 31–33, 7081 Schützen, Austria

Whether with the Sautanz or the "normal" menu, the credo of offal celebrant Max Stiegl is: there is no such thing as a bad piece of animalistic. This applies to grey cattle and camera sheep as well as goat.

Hauptgasse 64, 7083 Purbach, Austria

The impressive hotel building by winemaker Scheiblhofer also stands out when it comes to fine dining. You rub your eyes, especially when it comes to wine. The kitchen loves elegance (sauces!) and draws on the full range of ingredients.

Resortplatz 1, 7163 Andau, Austria

A flagship in southern Burgenland, where classic dishes (Feuerfleck/Tarte Flambée, fish soup) are creatively refined on the wood stove. The top service from Melanie Csencsits and Ober Géza is complemented by an impressive wine cellar.

Harmisch 13, 7512 Harmisch, Austria

This winegrowing family's restaurant was an insider tip, especially for guests of the Residenz. Tobias Velich's cuisine is strongly French-inspired. Beurre blanc and ‘Stekovics’ vegetables.

Illmitzer Straße 7–13, 7143 Apetlon, Austria

At lunchtime, home-style cooking reigns supreme, while Mateo Lopez offers more experimental dishes in the evening: catfish meets pork belly and caviar meets venison. Regional wine delicacies are available to take away in the vinotheque.

Am Ratschen 5, 7474 Deutsch Schützen, Austria

Neusiedler catfish, steppe beef and Mangalitza are just three of the local ingredients in this special kind of inn. Markus Lentsch serves timelessly good cuisine along with the restaurant's own wines. A perfect match!

Hauptstraße 39, 7141 Podersdorf, Austria

An industrial monument is one thing. Delighting guests in a contemporary way is another. The young crew achieves this with lentil dal as well as with Beuschel and the almost legendary original cheese dumplings. Fine!

Ziegelofengasse 28, 2485 Wimpassing an der Leitha, Austria

Now a must-visit between lake tours, wine tasting and stork watching. Michael Pilz keeps the level high: with handmade pasta, sorbets from his own production and delicacies such as farm duck.

Rathausplatz 10, 7071 Rust, Austria

Game (venison roast beef or shoulder of venison) is in season all year round at the Fröhlicher Arbeiter. The grammel dumplings too. Hannes Tschida knows his way around rustic cuisine and also draws on the full range of wines.

Quergasse 98, 7143 Apetlon, Austria

When catfish liver is delivered by fishing legend Emmerich Varga, you should go for it. Oliver Wiegand knows his way around such gourmet dishes, but also serves roast beef or farmer's chicken for two.

Seepark, 7121 Weiden am See, Austria

Four days a week, Martin Steinkellner invites guests to dine at Kranich by Steinkellner. His fine dining line is seasonal and purist. Also in the "Friedensburg": wine masterclass with experienced guests!

Klingergasse 2–4, 7461 Stadtschlaining, Austria

The restaurant has evolved from the "small Taubenkobel" and now serves casual Burgenland fare. Cabbage and sausages, but also whatever vegetables the season has to offer. Simply casual, simply casual.

Hauptstraße 31–33, 7081 Schützen, Austria

The "Kohlenfisch" can already be considered a classic at this fine dining spot on the lake. However, the beef tartare is also a work of art under the masterful hands of Kevin Szalai's team.

Storchengasse 1, 7152 Pamhagen, Austria

Elaborate and product-focused cuisine - Adi Karner is at his best when it comes to fish and seafood. The patron doesn't like mainstream wines, but Istrian and local winemakers much more.

Hauptplatz 15, 7423 Pinkafeld, Austria
