Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Rooms are modern and massive, though furnishings are spartan and bathrooms on the
poky side of small. Modern art punctuates the uberchic public spaces.
Eating
Linz takes its innovative spirit to the kitchen and its flair for design to the dining room.
Besides Austrian fare, you'll find fusion cuisine, and both locavore and world flavours on
many menus. Old-style cafes are the place to try the classic
Linzer Torte
. Made to a 17th-
century recipe with almonds, spices and tangy redcurrant jam, the tart is the greatest rival
to Vienna's own
Sacher Torte
.

Sat)
Sweet and simple, No Solo Vino believes in careful sourcing; its
formaggi
(cheeses),
salumi
(cold meats), antipasti and pastas are as good as any you'll find in Italy. It knocks
superfresh ingredients into lunch dishes such as beef carpaccio with rocket and
homemade ravioli. Sit in the courtyard when the weather's fine.
Spirali
(Graben 32b; mains €5.90-8.90; 11am-7pm Mon-Sat; )
Staff keep the good vibes and groovy
music coming at this ethnic-flavoured cafe. The accent is on regional produce, with
great-value lunch specials from pasta to curries. Give the homemade brownies and iced
teas a whirl.
