In-Depth Information
(Hauptplatz 12; mains €10.50-18.50; lunch & dinner Mon-Sat)
This is possibly the most important
address in town: it's a funky and rather eccentric restaurant that does a good steak as well
as Austrian staples. On top of this, it has the Glashaus bar and bistro (open from 9am to
1am Monday to Saturday), and the Garage, a space for live acts and DJs that is decked
out like a garage - its features become even more intriguing after your second drink. Gar-
age is open from 9.30pm to 4am Friday and Saturday.
Mettnitzer
( 358 99; Neuerplatz 17; mains €16.90-26.90; Wed-Sun)
Mettnitzer is a class act that serves a
small range of classic, local and seasonal dishes in a formal atmosphere.
