The superb lakeside location, right on Wörthersee, is a draw in itself, its wonderful views making the terrace a must in summer. Large windows also provide lake views from the modern, elegant interior. Chef-patron Hubert Wallner skilfully plays on regional and international influences. Subtle contrasts are evident in dishes such as meltingly tender poussin breast, accompanied by polenta with a crisp cereal topping and slices of umami-rich portobello mushroom. The set menu is available in five, seven or nine courses. It can be extended or individual courses can be swapped for dishes from the selection of classics or signature dishes, such as Wörthersee whitefish or crêpes Suzette. There is also a very well-curated wine list. To go with the set menu, the team recommends carefully matched wine pairings or alcohol-free alternatives. Charming, professional and highly organised, the service team contributes to a thoroughly pleasant evening. Book the Chef's Table for a more exclusive experience. You can stay overnight at the adjoining Hermitage Vital Resort.
