  3. Mörwald Kloster Und

    Mörwald is most central of a crop of restaurants run by Toni Mörwald outside Vienna; it offers exquisite delights ranging from roast pigeon breast to beef, poultry and fish dishes with French influences. A lovely yard and an impressive wine selection round off one of the best restaurants in the Wachau.

    Alte Welt

    Opening onto an inner courtyard, Alte Welt is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde: by day it serves hearty fare such as crispy roast pork and potato gnocchi, while by night it becomes a haunt for students, artists and musicians (the cellar hosts jam sessions, live jazz and plays).

  5. Jell

    Occupying a gorgeous stone house, Jell is hard to beat for a rustic atmosphere and fine wine from its own vineyard. The game goulash is a bit rich, but Jell has good food on the whole. It’s friendly staff also adds to a great regional experience.

    Klosterhof

    Klosterhof’s tree-shaded beer garden is arguably the best in Linz, with space for 1500. If this isn’t enough to tempt you, tasty Knödel (dumplings) with Stiegl beer in the vaulted tavern at the front should.

    Tom Yam

    The King of Thailand beams down from the wall and Thai pop plays at this funky little restaurant with a terrace the size of a postage stamp. Breathe fire with a green papaya salad or the house special – tom yam prawn soup.

    Mia Cara

    Mario cooks up a storm in the kitchen at this buzzing Italian osteria. Sample antipasti from the counter or homemade penne with a nice glass of Chianti. The patio is popular in summer.

    Los Caballeros

    Decked out with fake cacti and sombreros, this Mexican place is cheesy but a good laugh for a group. Potent shark shots (tequila and Tabasco) help wash down T-bone steaks and enchiladas.

    reviewed

    Verdi is a refreshing, all-round eating option with a range from fish through Austrian classics to Mediterranean flavours; there’s a terrace for warm summer evenings.
