Falstaff Restaurantguide 2026: The best Restaurants in Burgenland

Pertramer
Good things are so close! In the case of Burgenland, they are particularly good! Just one hour from Vienna, the entire spectrum of Pannonian cuisine unfolds in all its glory. And that's just the beginning: throughout the province, there are gems of good taste waiting to be discovered.

One of the essential addresses for local cuisine. Thanks to the Istrian "outpost", wild-caught fish is added to the garden vegetables on the open flame, which Alain Weissgerber manages masterfully.

Hauptstraße 31–33, 7081 Schützen am Gebirge, Austria

Provocateur and celebrity host, but above all an outstanding chef - Max "mehr Biber verkochen" Stiegl leaves no one cold. The restaurant gem continues to cultivate "Pannonia meets nose to tail". That's a good thing!

Hauptgasse 64, 7083 Purbach am Neusiedler See, Austria

Confit onions, "jus à la diable" or Challans duck. Add to this the extensive selection of Burgundy and champagne on the wine list - Francophilia is a hallmark of this remarkable cuisine.

Illmitzer Straße 7–13, 7143 Apetlon, Austria

The six-course "Great Dinner" is also available to non-hotel guests. In addition to wine treasures ("Batonnage" by the glass!), they can enjoy creative dishes such as Burgenland cheese dumplings and Asian flavors.

Resortplatz 1, 7163 Andau, Austria

The "starters" from Jürgen Csencsits' wood-fired kitchen deliver Burgenland on a plate. Surprising accents - ras el hanout, pak choi - demonstrate the creativity of this dining institution in the south.

Harmisch 13, 7512 Harmisch, Austria

Peter Prieler likes to look eastwards in the kitchen just as much as Konrad Robitza, the man who gave his name to the company, does with wine. That's why no cabbage soup is complete without spicy Kolbász. Exciting cuisine "off the beaten track".

Fanny-Elßler-Gasse 3, 7000 Eisenstadt, Austria

Yes, the Mediterranean gull breeds on the lake. It not only gives the restaurant its name, but also serves as a symbol of Mediterranean influences. Vermouth mousse or trout and basil roll are proof of this.

Storchengasse 1, 7152 Pamhagen, Austria

From winter skrei to autumn truffles, at Michael Pilz you can enjoy the rhythm of the seasons. In the often tourist-crowded Freistadt, this gem has fortunately retained its charm.

Rathausplatz 10, 7071 Rust, Austria

You could rely on the unique look. But regional producers ("Saps Kraut", "Leithaland-Gemüse") give this Austro cuisine a direction. Delicious exception: Vorarlberg cheese.

Ziegelofengasse 28, 2485 Wimpassing an der Leitha, Austria
