Knapp am Eck
Down the cobbled lane and beside the fast-flowing Steyr River is this gorgeous tavern with a boho feel. The menu places emphasis on seasonal, local produce; flavours like sage-stuffed pork and lamb with polenta are served at chunky wooden tables. By night, candles and lanterns illuminate the ivy-covered walls, trailing roses and chestnut trees in the secluded garden.

Bummerlhaus
Opposite the Rathaus is the steep-gabled, late-Gothic Bummerlhaus. In the 19th century, blurry-eyed punters to this former inn called the golden lion on the sign Bummerl (small, fat dog) and the name stuck.
