The best seafood in Austria, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Schwarzfischer comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Neumarkt am Wallersee and Ossiach.

Rank 1. Schwarzfischer
Seafood
A modern cube of a building beside a monastery pond, with a terrace that looks out over the kind of Austrian scenery that makes you briefly consider moving here. This is a casual fish restaurant where the trout and char come from the farm on-site, grilled over open charcoal in a kitchen you can watch from your table. The menu runs wider than the surroundings suggest, with meat and vegetarian options alongside the fish. Cyclists from the Inn River route fill the terrace in summer.

Rank 1. Stiftsschmiede Fischrestaurant
Regional Seafood
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.

Rank 1. Winkler
Austrian Seafood
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.
