Seewirt - Zell am See

Excelent food, large portions, friendly and outgoing waitresses. I recommend this restaurant. Enjoyed

As usual Trip advisor did the trick. This place was highly recommend and indeed this place was amazing. Everything we had was great, fresh ingredients, fantastic presentation and most importantly, amazing taste. Indeed highly recommend if you are around that beautiful area and you are...not, then it is worth the special drive.

We had been recommended to visit the Seewirt by our hotel’s concierge, and based on the recommendation had high expectations. The setting and our table were were definitely fine. The ‘greeting from the kitchen’ was also tasty. We then had to ask to see a...wine menu, and when asking for a recommendation of a wine, we’re offered ‘a nice neutral red’. After some deliberation we chose a KRUG Die Versuchung red at EUR The starter was a carpaccio of local beef. It seemed tender, but rather than being the star of the plate it was covered in a thick layer of Parmesan, doused in a mix of pesto and roasted tomato dressing and further overpowered by a dressed green salad. All ingredients were great, but the carpaccio might as well not have been there, as at best it offered texture; the flavour had been drowned. The wine arrived in time for the main course. The main course was a cutlet of Hungarian wool pork, with a selection of side dishes. Nice presentation and tasty vegetables. Unfortunately, the pork had been cooked in such a fashion, that it had gone dry. A real shame. We did like the wine though, but afterwards finding the mark-up to be in excess of one can’t but feel robbed. I have read other reviews and clearly, the place often seems to hit the mark. Unfortunately, in ours, it was a miss.

A group of us was staying (mostly) in Zell am See for a week. Our last evening we decided to check out this restaurant, which is located a minute walk from the house we rented. Long story short, we were really sorry not to...have eaten there earlier. This was by far our best food experience in the whole trip (which included two very good restaurants in Italy). We all decided to have braised beef cheek with raspberries in balsamic vinegar. We weren't sorry about the choice at all. As an amuse-bouche we got a bowl of creamy dip with green onions and some really crisp slices of baguette. For the dessert, ice cream and the fanciest créme brulée I've ever laid eyes on. Everything perfect and the service was extremely nice, courteous and helpful. I might go back to Zell if only to eat there again!

We came with a very large party to celebrate a landmark birthday. The staff were very accommodating and the food was wonderful. Absolutely delightful.
