Falstaff Restaurantguide 2024: The best Restaurants in Upper Austria

LUZIA ELLERT

Lukas Nagl makes his mark on Austria with unmistakable fish cuisine. Copying? Impossible. Sommelier Katharina Gnigler is also considered a luminary, her drink recommendations (with and without alcohol) are unique.

Klosterplatz 4, 4801 Traunkirchen, Austria

One ois please! Philip Rachinger proves why he is one of Austria's best chefs in his chic restaurant right on the romantic Mühl river. Top craftsmanship, great ideas, usually perfectly executed.

Unternberg 6, 4120 Neufelden, Austria

Wow. This is high cuisine that shines like a diamond in the culinary landscape. Lots of French dishes, exceptional wines with an impressive depth of vintage, the most beautiful ambience.

If you go to Lukas, you get Lukas. That means: unbelievable precision in the dishes, outstanding taste, a perfect interplay of flavors and epic beverage accompaniment.

Unterer Stadtplatz 7, 4780 Schärding, Austria

The Grabmers are simply jack-of-all-trades, warm hosts and play the whole culinary keyboard: superb wines, home cooking, fine dining, a magical guest garden, cookbooks - it's all there.

Kickendorf 15, 4710 Grieskirchen, Austria

The high-end dishes that Philipp Lukas and his team conjure up in the Minimundus kitchen are unbelievable. The kitchen is currently being remodeled and expanded. It's hard to imagine the spheres into which you can then immerse yourself.

Pachmayrstraße 137, 4040 Linz, Austria

The award-winning chef Helmut Rachinger has shaped the gastronomic landscape in Upper Austria like no other. Fernruf 7 is a paradise next to the Mühl. Come in, enjoy, be happy.

Niederreithstraße 35b, 4020 Linz, Austria

Just walking up the stairs to the stylish black restaurant raises expectations of a fantastic evening. And the guests are not disappointed: Lukas Kapeller is always on top form.

Damberggasse 27, 4400 Steyr, Austria

For some, the Einkehr is the little brother of the restaurant, and yet both are siblings of great taste. The cuisine is the same - ideal if you want to take a more relaxed approach.

Pachmayrstraße 137, 4040 Linz, Austria

The area around the national park is enchanting, but you shouldn't expect a hustle and bustle. Cell phone reception is also sparse. But Klemens Gold sets off a culinary firework display. Outstanding.

Pechgraben 23, 4463 Großraming, Austria

You can tell the quality of the cuisine from the schnitzel. Aichinger's culinary sanctuary is one of the best in the country, as are the other dishes. The extensive wine list is phenomenal.

Am Anger 1, 4865 Nussdorf am Attersee, Austria

The charming inner courtyard with fig trees invites you to dream. When the kitchen serves classic and modern dishes accompanied by top wines and spirits, you know it's a dream.

Hauptstraße 56, 4484 Kronstorf, Austria

Guests' mouths water when the fine aroma of roast pork wafts through the parlors - thanks to the wood-fired oven, which ensures a great aroma. It's delicious, charming and beautiful here.

Theuerwang 13, 4655 Vorchdorf, Austria

Hans Lugstein was Austria's first world champion chef and has been shaping the country's cuisine for decades. His apricot dumplings are a delight, and are best enjoyed in the enchanting garden.
