Gasthaus Haberl - Ilz

The reason we went there : a birthday on Monday when everything else around is closed. Very clean restaurant with nice cloth napkins and good but not romantic or charming atmosphere. There is an evening menue which sounds nice and most of it was very nice. Beef tartare was nice and hand cut portion was not too big but in my opinion too much of the Fink vinegar veggies for deco. It is daring to offer Sepia and shrimp so far in the country side but it was okay. I really liked the service, one of the owners worked himself that evening. Funny enough the signature dish of the region, a pumpkin seed oil salad with fried chicken was the least appealing (no vinegar in dressing and fried too long). I would definetely recommend the restaurant if you are in the area but do not expect michelin stars, good solid cooking trying to please all kinds of guests. Service is once again very attentive and in my opinion on a higher level than the foods served, but very good for food is still way above average.

I was in a family holiday in a nearby town of Bad Waltersdorf with my mother and daughter. I found this place on Tripadvisor and since it had good reviews decided to try it. I'm glad. We're here at 5:00, her main dining room opens at 6:00, but we could sit in a room open all day. Everything was very clean and well designed. The service was amazing. And the food... the food was from this world. You have a limited menu before 6:00, but we loved all the dishes we ordered. We had her beef soup, Goulash and the traditional schnitzel. We had ice cream and coffee for Dessert. They even brought a little ice cream for my 1.5 year old daughter. Everything was delicious and the carving was the best I ever had. The meat was amazing and it was perfectly prepared. The ice cream tasted like fresh fruit. I wish we had more days in the area to come back. The restaurant even has a small garden next to it, where the cook from the kitchen picks up fresh herbs for the dishes. Unbelievable. We saw a lot of people coming at 6:00, so my guess is that the place is packed during dinner, although it is in a small town. This place also makes its own products and sells wines from the regions. You have a small shop right next to the restaurant. Very recommended! The address on Tripadvisor is not 100% correct. Search their website to get the right address.

I have known this restaurant for many years and is constantly growing in status and quality.... The food is a pleasure, well presented with local food from local farmers... is a family restaurant and almost you can feel the love for food and their customers with always a wonderful experience to remmeber.... Thei wine selection is one of the best ever seen in a restaurant!!! Service is like you in a 5-star restaurant with its knowledge and suggestions.... I can say to beat the best restaurant for many years..hard... We loved... thanks.

Auf unsere Reise nach Wien haben wir in Walkersdorf beim Gasthaus Haberl halt gemacht...Die Terrasse ist gemütlich im Schatten und...More

Durch Zufall wurden wir bei der Durchfahrt auf dieses wunderbare Gasthaus aufmerksam und konnten es dann bei der Heimfahrt als Mittagsrast nutzen. Nach einer Wartezeit die wohl der Qualität des Hauses geschuldet ist, wurden wir mit einem ausgezeichnetem Essen beglückt. Selbstverständlich ließ auch das Personal keine Wünsche offen. Aber das beste kam zum Schluss: wir hatten bereits das Lokal verlassen und waren im angrenzendem Shop, als uns die Chefin (?) des Hauses nachkam und darauf ansprach, dass die Semmeln zu meinem Gulasch zu hart waren und dass das Team das leider erst danach bemerkt hatte. Und um diesen Fehler wieder gut machen zu können, würde uns das Haus gerne auf selbstgemachtes Eis einladen. Einfach grandios wie ein an und für sich kleiner Fehler durch eine bezaubernde Geste in einen Gewinn für alle gedreht wurde!!!! Hut ab!
