The Best Seafood Near Hardthaus, by the Record

A lakeside restaurant beside the Wallersee where the menu is built almost entirely around fish and snails, which is either an unusual pairing or the only honest pairing, depending on how you feel about freshwater Austria. Pike-perch, crayfish, mussels, and herb-dressed snails anchor the menu, with pastries doing reliable work at the end. The terrace in summer is the obvious move, but the interior holds its own with a maritime-themed fit-out that stops short of kitsch.

The building used to be a fish market beside an abattoir, which explains both the old brick bones and why seafood still runs the show. A mid-range restaurant in Dreimühlenviertel, Atlantik keeps the menu honest: whole turbot or char for the table, beef if someone insists, and a chocolate cake that earns the standing it has. The wine list is long enough to take seriously.
