Wachter-Wieslers Ratschen & Wohnothek

A stylish restaurant with a cozy atmosphere is difficult to find. they make a very good work to combine them. local top-level food and a very good choice of local vines, located at the top of the hill, will give them a perfect...dine weinrebe experience. good for coffee and cake during the day as well as check the opening times!

The cabins were super fun to stay. very beautiful but simple decoration. we had a wonderful dinner and weep with it. the breakfast buffet is simple, but plentiful and tasty.

After a few days of Hungarian cooking bean soup (bableves), pasta with cottage cheese and bacon (turos csusza), lovely in its own way, but! I was ready for something different. My flight from Vienna was only at six, I'd made an early start,...so I took the village roads northwest, criss crossing the border, toward Nemetlovo Deutsch Schuetzen, where, a colleague from Vienna had said, the kekfrankos blaufrankisch was particularly good, especially that sold under the Bela Joska label by the Wachter Wiesler vineyard. The road to the restaurant from the 56 is signposted sort of it winds up the east facing hillside on which the vines and orchards grow, through the fields, off to the right and twist, and turn and there you are, parking behind, sun and a light breeze and, when you step out of your car and look back into the valley my, how high you are, and what a glorious view! A few steps down the slope through a small garden, into the building: Open bar, men standing about; a short hallway with a staircase; and at the hallway's a large, bright room with one wall all glass, the wall toward the view that you've just admired. Arriving at noon, as I did, I had my choice of tables, and took one at the window wall. Within a half hour the room had filled… Roast blood pudding, coleslaw with a bit of hot pepper in the dressing, and slices of gently grilled apple to start, with a glass of Gruener Veltliner; then the loin of mangalitza with mushroom sauce and herbed spaetzle. Choose a glass of wine that will do the pork justice, I asked the waiter. He brought me the Bela Joska. It was wonderful. Everything was wonderful. The service, the tempo, the food, the drink. Absolutely grand. No room for pudding; no wish to explore the winery, the rooms of local products on sale upstairs; but I took a bottle of the B J with me. I hope that I can put together on my own a meal that will do it justice. Now, a side note nothing to do with the restaurant, but a part of Deutsch Schuetzen that you shouldn't miss on the climbing road I'd noticed a small white sign: To the graves of the victims of national socialism. Ah. On my way back to the 56, then, I hit my turn indicator and followed the road to the south that was marked by the sign. Another half paved lane, another climb, and, deep in woods, a fenced enclosure and a slab of stone: Texts in Hebrew, Hungarian, German. Fifty seven Hungarian Jew slave labourers gunned down and buried here in 1945, may their souls find peace... A quiet moment or two, and I retraced my route, turned to the north, steered for Vienna. Allow yourself twenty minutes on your trip to or from the Ratschen, and visit the grave. Deutsch Schuetzen offers more than just food for the body; there's much food for thought there to be had as well.

Eating was very good to excellent. the baptismal dish was delicious. the dessert combination with gurke and dill was excellent. unusual ingredients (e.g. misery, Erdkastania) were well used to supplement main ingredients, much better than we used them at saziani. stub some real 5* content here. the rene rostaing cote rotie 2006 was beautifully cast. the breakfast was excellent and the rooms in the wine mountains are beautiful with a great view and beautiful forest a stone throw away and the host family was all very friendly. we visited the restaurant during weinfruehling. when we were there, the host was busy with a large group in the bar area, the headkeeper seemed to fight with the large number of difficult walks and was distracted. the kitchen came out of sync, which led to very long waiting times between the curses. everything was dissolved immediately after talking to the host, but I can't give 5 *s among the circumstances.

We visited the rats with friends from Burgenland, had a delicious lunch and stayed overnight in one of their 10 small guest houses. the lunch was simply superb I had a perfectly mixed salad, then pork (pigcheeks and a top (cream cheesecake... dessert. everything deliv, beautifully prepared, professionally served in a flawless environment that somehow combines rustic and modern elements. the. the holiday home was spacious, comfortable and very clean with a good matratze and a little fresh wood fragrance. not too luxurious, but very beautiful. the only thing we missed was a cork screw. something to note, the close to big weeping of burgenland (including the host! . we will definitely come back!
