Paul's Kuche & Bar

Reviewed By thomasdR9536LP

This place is right next to the giant old cathedral church. The juxtaposition between the modern eatery and NOE-Gothic church is what stood out most. Seems like mostly locals are in here. The atmosphere is friendly, and alive. Classic American music is piped through the speakers. Very young professional vibe. Wait staff is smartly dressed and eager to help us English speakers.Important to note: This is not going to be a “cheap eats” spot. You’re gonna drop some coin (euros), but if you wanna splurge - this is the place. Love that that kitchen can be viewed - that’s always a sign that ownership is confident in their cleanliness. If you’re VERY LUCKY Anita will be there and she will be your link between the table and the kitchen; she is amazing. She was so patient with us, gave us great recommendations, and I never saw her stop moving! I hope to one day visit Lintz again, and when that time comes I will definitely go back to Paul’s Bar - (hopefully Anita is still there )

We just stopped in for a beer, as alas, it was not mealtime. This looked like a charming place with picture windows providing a pretty view of Linz down below. We were entertained by a young mother chasing her free-spirit two-year old all around the room for the entire time. Charming.

Il Caminetto

Reviewed By swtraveler15

We visited the Il Caminetto twice during our stay in Linz for a variety of reasons. First, it was very close to our hotel so once we parked the car in the garage, it was a very short walk to the restaurant - perfect after a long day of sightseeing. But secondly, we visited twice simply because it was that good. The food was delicious and the staff all friendly and helpful. The first night we at inside as the terrace was full but we were able to find a table on the terrace for the second night. This restaurant also seemed to be a favorite with the locals which is always a good sign. Highly recommend

Best schnitzel and potatoes of our month-long tour through Germany and Austria. Note the menu changes daily so there is no English version. The waiters give you a WiFi code so you can use your phone to translate the menu. The food is sbsolutely worth it! You know it's good when most of the diners are local!

Sam's Steakhouse

Reviewed By Etschanz

After finding most restaurants closed on a Tuesday night, and getting lost in Linz, I finally stopped at this restaurant. I ordered a mojito which was good, then a vegetable fajita (not very hungry). To my surprise the vegtable were "al dente" everyday vegetables and didn't seem particularly tex-mex. okayish red red. Not the best service. I didn't try the steak so I can't judge her the meat. The potatoe dishes (neighboring tables) looked huge, rather too huge. Anyway....Not sure I would go back....

Choosen by ranking in TA and no disappointment. Very good mood, decent wine and service. I had Branzino with potato puree and may recommend it. Maybe a bit dry so some olive oil will make the job.

Verdi Restaurant & Einkehr

Reviewed By Ninodebalia

Every year we dine here and it is always the same, high quality and wonderful experience. The dishes are well prepared and very delicious. The staff are very professional yet still friendly and helpful. We didn't notice it last year, but they had remodeled the einkehr. Before it was a traditional Austrian style. Now, it is a nice blend of traditional and modern decor, done with taste. A must go for an upscale, gourmet meal!
