Freigut Thallern

I went there after a suggestion I got from a friend who lives there, and I was simply amazed. The scenery was just wow, that's the only way to explain it. I was surprised that they had an English menu since it is not visited by tourists very often. I was also surprised to find out that they have a small hotel there as well and I asked to see the rooms. The building was old and looked a bit like a chapel and it did indeed have one inside. But the most amazing this was how they mixed modern designs with the old basis of the architecture, next time I visit Austria I will definitely stay there. It is quite romantic as well. The food was great and so was the wine. Super traditional, and great value of food for the fair price.

This place is extremely authentic. I've been going there for around 5 years now. It has traditional Austrian food, but it is best known for its chicken, in German it's called backhändle. They also have their own selection of wines that is created in their wine cellar from the graphs that grow around the restaurant. You are able to do a wine tasting there as well. The wines vary from sweet to less sweet and of course there is a selection of both red and white wine. Apart from the outstanding food and wine, the staff is extremely friendly and their English is fair. And let's not forget the wonderful scenery in the small town outside Vienna, it is simply breath taking. I definitely suggest going to Thalern, it is roughly a 45 minute train ride from Vienna city center and it really shows the Viennese culture and it is no way a tourist trap, as not many tourists are aware of it.
