© Tom Son/ Waldschänke
Upper Austria is characterised by the beautiful Salzkammergut region, its lakes, mountains, hearty home cooking and friendly locals. Anyone looking for a leisurely stopover will find what they are looking for here. Falstaff reveals the most beautiful inns and terraces for al fresco dining.

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 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
Landhaus zu Appesbach

Stately, stately and, thanks to Thomas Höfler, of the highest culinary standard. One day is never enough to explore the surroundings and the menu in detail. A pearl on the lake.

Au 18, 5360 Sankt Wolfgang im Salzkammergut, Austria

In hectic times, when many people spend more time swiping on their cell phones than leafing through books, the Rahofer is a soothing place where you can forget about time, relax and enjoy the best Mediterranean dishes.

Stadtplatz 9, 4400 Steyr, Austria
Klosterstube

You have to search for a long time. Inns with excellent Portuguese cuisine, for example. Just a few meters from the banks of Lake Traunsee you will find them in the historic Stube. Excellent wines.

Christoph "Krauli" Held is a jack of all trades. He has just added to his CV and is not only a chef and entertainer but also an author. Many of his great dishes from Siriuskogl can be found in the book.

Sulzbach 70, 4820 Bad Ischl, Austria
Stadlkirchner Hofstub’n

First of all, there is the enchanting garden, which has won several awards. And then there's the cuisine, which is both regional, especially at game time, but also offers soul food such as grilled prawns.

Stadlkirchen 6, 4407 Dietach, Austria
