This restaurant deserves its top rating for Gmunden. The food is reliably good, the wines by the glass were also good. The owner stopped by our table to chat, make sure all was well, more than once, nice fellow.

Soggiornato in compagnia di clienti per viaggio di lavoro. Comodissimo rispetto alla vicina Fiera di wels. Cena buona con pietanze locali e birra anche se difficile capirsi anche in inglese. Il menù è solo in tedesco. Le camere sono belle e accoglienti nella zona nuova. Nell'ala vecchia sul retro sono abbastanza datate con vasca da bagno al posto della doccia.
Comunque pulite e calde a sufficienza nonostante il clima gelido

Hunghrig und müde kehrten wir in die Autobahnraststätte in Lindach ein. Das Speisenangbeot ist überschaubar, aber dafür frisch zubereitet.
Leider gab's kein alkoholfreihes Weizenbier!
Das beste war die überaus fruendliche Mitarbeiterin, die uns sehr gut bediente.

Now Vorchdorf is not on everyones list of must visits. A tiny village on the way to Gmunden, I doubt that many people would think of stopping. But STOP here you should. This is truly a great find and one of the nicest restaurants in Upper Austria.
Tucked away in what was an old apartment building, the restaurant has true charm - with its ram-shackeled, rustic look and dining rooms on different levels. It provides a warm and welcoming feeling.
The staff are attentive, but not overwhelming. The service is good and professional and although I have enough German to get by in a restaurant - they were able to converse all that was needed in English.
We chose to each have the degustation menu, there were two options - so we chose 1 each. Something that is not always possible with degs menus. All I have to say is WOW! The presentation and different tastes and combinations is simply outstanding. The courses are served at a good pace, 7 courses is a lot to get through, so it is nice to have time in between to sit and savor what you have just eaten. We never once felt rushed.
They have a wonderful wine list and the staff were able to recommend a great wine to go with our meal.
This is absolutely worth the drive and the planning to get there. This one goes to the top of our list, we will be back. Except this time, we will make sure to book on of the guest rooms upstairs, so driving home is not required!
We felt that the price was very good for what we had, 2 x degs menus, bottle of wine and bottled water for €300. For the quality and taste of the food, the service and setting it is really a great price. In Vienna or Salzburg you could almost double this and I doubt that it would be as good.

This restaurant is outside of town so you need a car to get here. There was no English translation of the menu but we were able to figure things out. The waitress actually printed a picture off of their computer to show us the type of meat they were serving since we couldn't find a translation. W started with salads (a delicious honey balsamic dressing) and homemade spinach noodles in a brown butter, parmesan sauce. The "noodles" were the size of golf balls and were very good. We tried various items on the menu for our main courses; fresh local fish, chicken with a wild mushroom crème sauce, steak with peppercorn sauce and deer stew. The stew was outstanding. This is good local cuisine with excellent sauces and lovely presentation.
6. Wirt am Bach

I have had eight dinners and a few lunches here while staying at the Gasthof Wirt am Bach to fish the Gmunder Traun and other nearby rivers. It is an excellent restaurant with some special local dishes, a very fine list of Austrian wines (with great descriptions for those unfamiliar), a nice selection of beers, and it's inexpensive. My last trip in mid-July 2012 I twice had a mushroom (fresh, locally picked) goulash that was amazing. But everything is good. The restaurant and gasthof serve a largely local clientele and it is always crowded for lunch and dinner. Very convivial. There is a large outdoor restaurant section with a retractable roof to cover all weather situations. Service is excellent. Worth a short drive from Gmunden and other local tourist destinations. Or stay at the Gasthof Wirt am Bach which is a pleasant hotel and very reasonable.

On my first evening in this wonderful part of Austria, a friend who lives right in Ohlsdorf took me here. What a fantastic place. It is in a perfect setting, nestled in a small valley. The evening was that perfect blend of cool with no wind that ushers in the beginning of summer.
The food matched the setting in every way. Each dish was filled with local produce and looked as good as it tasted. Not many non-Austrians come to this area but they should.... Especially when there are places like this one.
8. Hoidinger's Mostschenke
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Austria01 - Voecklabruck, Austria
Eine Mostschenke ist so etwas Ähnliches wie ein “Wiener Heuriger”, eine Triestiner “Frascha” oder eine “Osmizze” im Karst – nur, dass anstatt Wein Most ausgeschenkt wird. Most, das ist ein vergorener Apfel- oder Birnensaft mit einem geringen Alkoholgehalt. Dieses Getränk wird gerne in Oberösterreich zur Jause getrunken.
Der Mostheurige der Familie Spitzbart liegt in der Ortschaft Kranabeth, ungefähr auf halben Weg von Laakirchen nach Gschwandt bei Gmunden (Nähe Flugplatz). Die Mostschenke hat schon eine lange Tradition, sie wurde bereits 1990 als eine der ersten in Oberösterreich eröffnet und die Familie stieg auch als eine der ersten in die Direktvermarktung ein.
Der Bauernhof umfasst ca. 16 ha landwirtschaftliche Nutzfläche und 5 ha Wald. Neben Schweinen werden Hühner, Puten und Enten gezüchtet. Bekannt ist der Hof für seine Gänse, die am Morgen und am Abend im “Gänsemarsch” auf die Weide laufen. Jedes Jahr werden 500 Gänse vermarktet. Alle Tiere werden artgerecht gehalten, besitzen viel Auslauf und werden mit eigenen Produkten des Hofs genfrei ernährt.
Es wundert daher auch nicht, dass bei den Gästen Geflügelspezialitäten sehr beliebt sind – geräucherte Enten- und Putenbrust, gebratene Hühnerkeulen, Geflügelsulz etc. Aber auch kalte Gerichte aus Schweinefleisch sind erhältich – wie z.B. Wollschweinspeck, Schinken, verschiedene Würste oder Schweinsbraten. Wer von allem etwas probieren möchte, der sollte die “gemischte Hoidinger-Platte” bestellen – und dazu natürlich ein Glas Most oder Apfelsaft. Als Nachspeise sollte man unbedingt die süßen “Pofesen” probieren – ein Gedicht.
Der Bauernhof der Familie Spitzbart ist ein Paradies für Kinder – es gibt viel zu sehen und zu erleben – einen Abenteuerspielplatz, einen kleinen Streichelzoo, Tiergehege mit teilweise sehr seltenen bzw. vom Aussterben bedrohten Haustierrassen, wie z.B. Zackel- und Jakobschafen, Wollschweinen, Pustertaler Sprinzen und Tux-Zillertaler Kühen. Der Hof ist auch Mitgliedsbetrieb von “Arche Noah” – diese Organisation setzt sich seit über 20 Jahren für die Erhaltung, Verbreitung und Entwicklung der Kulturpflanzenvielfalt ein.
Die Mostschenke ist ganzjährig von Donnerstag bis Sonntag ab 16.00 Uhr geöffnet. Im Sommer sitzen die Besucher unter schattigen Bäumen im schönen Gastgarten (ca. 220 Plätze) und im Winter in den beiden gemütlichen Stuben (70 Plätze).
