1. Verdi
$$$$ | |It may be some way out of town, but the exquisite food, intimate atmosphere, and gorgeous views at this fine dining restaurant make it worth a special trip. Passionate owner-chef Erich Lukas crafts clever, seasonal set menus that combine Austrian and Mediterannean influences to great effect. Unusually, it's also possible to order dishes from the menus individually. For budget conscious travelers, the neighboring Verdi Einkehr bistro shares the same kitchen but serves more standard Austrian fare. If you don't have a car, you'll need a taxi to get here as it's located close to Lichtenberg, about three kilometers (two miles) north of the town center.

2. Buschenschank Schandl
$$ | |The Schandl family of Rust is one of the best-known wine growers of the Neusiedl Lake area; their devotees come for wine tastings and stay for dinner. The simple but satisfying buffet offers a selection of sausages, salads, cheeses, and pickles, as well as a few hot dishes, to complement the wine. You can also order entrées from the menu, such as roast pork with sauerkraut or soft cheese wrapped in bacon.

3. Gasthaus Jell
$$$ | |In the heart of the medieval Altstadt is this storybook stone cottage run by Ulli Amon-Jell (pronounced "Yell"), who serves the tried-and-true recipes of her grandmother and great-grandmother, with a bit of her own modern flair added to the mix. Snails au gratin in garlic herb butter, roast kidneys with bacon and onion, and gazpacho with buttery parmesan dumplings are popular items on the menu. There are always lighter fish and vegetarian dishes, too, but the chef's motto is "no one goes home hungry from my tavern." Leave room for dessert if you possibly can, as the homemade marillenknödel (warm, apricot-filled dumplings) are a delight. Book ahead in summer for a table under the grape arbor in the small, secluded outdoor dining area.

4. Kaiser von Österreich
$$$$ | |At this landmark in Krems's Old Town district, you'll find excellent regional cuisine along with an outstanding wine selection (some of these vintages come from the backyard). Owner-chef Haidinger learned his skills at Bacher, across the Danube in Mautern, so look for fresh river fish on the ever-changing set menus, along with locally-hunted wild boar and venison. The set menus start from three courses (€42.50; soup, main, and dessert) and go all the way up to six (€72.50).

5. Loibnerhof
$$$$ | |It's hard to imagine a more idyllic setting for a memorable meal than this lovely restaurant in Unterloiben, a five-minute drive southeast of Dürnstein—especially if the weather is nice and tables are set out in the fragrant apple orchard. One of the oldest restaurants in the area, its kitchen offers inventive variations on regional themes, like Wachau fish soup, crispy roast duck, and foie gras parfait.

6. Promenadenhof
$$$ | |The atmosphere here is that of a spacious, contemporary Gasthaus, with a fabulous roofed garden filled with flowers. The varied menu of regional cuisine is reasonably priced and has a touch of the Mediterranean, with plenty of vegetarian options available. Nevertheless, the highlights are traditionally Austrian and meaty; the steak tartare, the Tafelspitz (boiled beef), and the size-of-your-head schnitzels. The place is easy to find; just look for the theater in the heart of the Altstadt.
Promenade 39, Linz, Upper Austria, A-4020, Austria0732-777661Known For
- Delicious Linzertorte
- Excellent service
- Wine from the cellar available by the glass

7. Rudolfshof
$$ | |Enjoy a walk through the Kurpark, where you'll find this 19th-century hunting lodge. The fine restaurant serves traditional dishes from the region, including Wiener and chicken schnitzel, pork fillet, and venison stew. The excellent wines served are local vintages, particularly St. Laurent, Zweigelt, and Blauer Portugieser. Stop for a meal or just take a break with coffee and cake. On weekends with clear air and good weather, the grand vistas across the hills from the terrace mean it's hard to get a table.

- Traditional and hearty Austrian fare

- Beautiful views from the terrace

8. Rusterhof
$$ | |A lovingly renovated burgher's house—the town's oldest—at the top of the main square houses an excellent and imaginative restaurant. The menu depends on what's fresh, and might include grilled fish or Wiener schnitzel made with organic veal. Finish with apple strudel or marzipan. Light natural woods and vaulted ceilings set the tone in a series of smaller rooms; in summer there's an outside garden.
Rathausplatz 18, Rust, Burgenland, A-7071, Austria02685-60793Known For
- Terrace view over main street
- Fresh and organic menu
- Four lovely apartments also available

9. Wellen.Spiel
$$ | |This riverside bar-restaurant, overlooking the landing station from which the Danube to Melk cruises depart, makes a lovely spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Local specialties like freshly-caught fish and flammkuchen (a pizza-like pie slathered in crème fraîche, onions, and bacon bits) sit alongside no-fuss favorites like burritos, burgers, and steaks. Come in the evening to watch the sun slowly set over the river as you eat.

10. Zylinder
$$$ | |With dishes based on traditional Austro-Hungarian recipes, this well-located café and restaurant makes a pleasant stop for lunch or dinner. Expect everything from traditional Austrian schnitzel and tafelspitz (boiled beef served with minced apples) to Hungarian beef goulash and somlói galuska (sponge trifle), as well as Slovakian specialties like halušky (small potato dumplings with sheep cheese, sautéed bacon, and sour cream). The interior is classy but cozy, and you can sit out on the tree-shaded terrace most of the year.
