Restaurant Waldschänke

Meet Austria's Award-Winning Female Chefs

"Presented with a MICHELIN Star at the Hangar 7 ceremony, this family-run Waldschänke in Grieskirchen represents Elisabeth Grabmer's life's work: she shares the kitchen manager role with her son Clemens, and their collaboration — described as built on respect, clear responsibilities and a "pinch of motherly love" — brought modern techniques and creativity into the kitchen; the award is especially meaningful because Elisabeth had previously held a MICHELIN Star from 2007 to 2009, and the family team (with Heinz Grabmer as restaurant manager) balanced work and childcare to allow sustained professional progress." - Le Guide MICHELIN
