The Best Seafood Near Neusacherhof, by the Record

A former abbey forge right on the edge of Lake Ossiach, the stone cross-vaulted ceiling a reminder that someone once hammered metal where the kitchen now stands. This is a regional seafood restaurant where a third-generation family chef cooks fish sourced from a responsible local aquaculture farm. The terrace faces the lake and the mountains, which is an unfair advantage over most dining rooms in the world.

Despite the name, which translates to golden calf, fish runs the show at this old-school Udine restaurant that has been around forever. The room pulls off a neat trick, pairing sober contemporary design with the weight of a place that clearly predates everything around it. The Sabinot family has kept Friulian tradition going for generations, with seafood-forward plates and seasonal vegetables rounding out the menu.
