When entering âRestaurant Schickerâ, at first glance one has the impression to be in a shop rather than in a restaurant. The thing is that one has to go through a shop area and pass another door to reach the restaurant. It is nicely furnished in a somewhat rustic but nonetheless elegant style and is dominated by dark colored wood. The nice atmosphere created in this manner is unfortunately dented by the really uncomfortable, even tormenting wooden chairs.The permanent menu was sufficiently comprehensive to please everybody and included not only the usual classics but also several quite creative dishes. It was complemented by three dishes of the day and a business lunch. Service was excellent and professional. Although some of us had chosen dishes of the permanent menu the waiting time was absolutely reasonable.Most importantly, everything tasted fine and the size of the portions was fully satisfactory as well. Of course, âSchickerâ is not a cheap restaurant. However, prices were not excessive for a restaurant of this quality level and standing. Given also the friendliness of the staff we were satisfied by our lunch at âRestaurant Schickerâ.

All former reviews of Baderhaus do not apply any more since everything has changed in the meantime. The former host (i.e. the âKaiserâ) is gone. He has opened a new restaurant in neighboring Kapfenberg, named âK.u.K. Restaurant Zum Kaiser Franz Josephâ, where he still dresses up as the emperor. Who is fond of traditional Viennese cuisine has to go there and might be deceived at Baderhaus.The current restaurant at Baderhaus is officially named âWeinerei im Baderhausâ. Although this name means wine bar in English, this place is still a full-blown restaurant as can be gathered from its menu. The latter is not comprehensive, but offers enough choice except for Vegetarians. From Tuesday to Friday a simple, mostly rustic dish of the day is available for very little money. Apart from that prices correspond to the average level of restaurants of this standing in the area. Cuisine is now rather international than Austrian.The interior of Baderhaus has been modified a little because the imperial decoration was also moved to Kapfenberg. But the bare brick walls have remained as they were and still create a pleasant atmosphere. The outside seating, spread over different levels, is perfect: separated from the river only by a street of almost no traffic.I came to âWeinerei im Baderhausâ for a late lunch. At that time service was provided by only one person, probably the head of the restaurant. Despite the limited number of guests present, he had difficulties to cope with the situation. So, service was rather sluggish. On the other hand, preparation of my lunch was quite fast even in view of the fact that I had opted for the dish of the day.My fish platter was pleasing to the eye, but did not fully satisfy the palate. While I liked the fried salmon fillet this was not at all the case for the fillet of the second kind of fish because it was dry and lacked flavor. The rice was overcooked to such an extent that it started to degenerate into a sticky tasteless paste. The accompanying leaf salad, however, was well dressed.

3. Gasthof Todtling

âGasthof Tödtlingâ is located in the north of Kapfenberg, a few kilometers off the center of town, in the municipal district of Hafendorf. The large building next to a roundabout of a main street can hardly be overlooked. This restaurant is renowned for its home-made ice-cream. Therefore, in summer its ice-cream parlor attracts huge crowds.When I arrived to have lunch here on a fairly warm spring day, I only had a short look at the quite attractive interior of âGasthof Tödtlingâ, but decided to take a seat outside at its small terrace that extends on either side of the main entrance. This outside seating turned out to be pleasantly airy, but was not separated at all from the close roundabout and therefore quite noisy. This spoiled the atmosphere somewhat.In addition to the permanent menu that comprises the dishes of Austrian and international cuisine one finds in most restaurants of this region, there was also a fairly comprehensive menu of the day (which supposedly was rather a menu of the season). Some dishes listed on the latter were particularly advertised on the chalkboards at the entrance.Given that I had chosen one of the dishes of the day and that the place was not crowded, the waiting time was not as short as expected, but not overly long either. The dish I had ordered consisted of pasta with a filling based on wild garlic nicely arranged around a heap of salad on an orange colored (!) plate. The dish tasted quite fine, but was perhaps a little more pleasing for the eye than for the palate because I would have liked the aroma of the wild garlic to be more pronounced. Nonetheless, I appreciated the well seasoned salad.The portion was of ordinary size and the price was reasonable and corresponded to the level one expects for a restaurant of this kind in Kapfenberg. Since service was also correct I found my lunch at âGasthof Tödtlingâ absolutely okay.
