Alte Welt

What a find! All four of us enjoyed our very different local meals and beers! Just off the square. Would definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful evening in this delightful and simple little restaurant! Though they were expecting a party of 30 and understaffed by their own admission, it was not at all apparent as I was seated and served promptly with one of the most delicious meals I've had this trip - and if I could have licked the plate I would have (but the other patrons may have been disturbed by this and the remnants that would have remained in my beard, I'm afraid). The wine-infused braised beef shoulder was as tender and flavourful as I've ever had, balanced perfectly with the thinly sliced potato and soft vegetables. I could have happily had another plate, but had instead a delicious, freshly baked dessert. I'll definitely be coming back and would gladly recommend a visit! 7/5 stars!

We just dined at Alte Welt paying with a tour operator coupon for a three course menu. One of the saddest eating out experience ever. We had as appetizer a plain salad and as main course a mountain of white rice with some boiled chicken breast in a sort of cream and thyme sauce. All sitting in a separate corner from the other customers (eating normal food) with unused chairs, broomsticks and empty beer barrels. Personally I would had paid an extra to be treated as anyone else. The customer was polite and dessert not of our taste, but at least a proper dessert.

Beautiful authentic restaurant. If you want to immerse yourself in a truly full Austrian experience this restaurant is highly recommended. All the dishes are excellent and delicious. Perhaps it can get a bit too loud at times, but I would say that’s part of the experience!

An exceptional find that left a lasting impression. As someone who speaks only (very) basic German, I deeply appreciated the warmth and accommodating nature of the staff. They were not only patient but also encouraging as I stumbled through my pigeon German, making me feel welcomed and valued. The head chef personally explained the daily specials in perfect English, showcasing their impressive selection of traditional Austrian dishes. Each meal that arrived was a delight to the senses, perfectly capturing the essence of Austrian culinary tradition. The beer selection was great, featuring local beers that perfectly complemented the excellent food. The prices at Alte Welt were very reasonable. It's rare to find such a combination of excellent traditional cuisine, superb service, and affordable pricing in one spot. This restaurant is truly a gem in Linz, and I can't recommend it highly enough to both locals and visitors alike. I want to go back!

Food was ok, but not spectacular. The schnitzel was dry and so was the potato 😢 Only takes cash, and didn’t inform about that on beforehand.

Real authentic Austrian Wirtshaus, there are not so many left, so take a glimpse!

Although food looked promising and was good, I couldn't enjoy it due to a rat we saw running in the garden. It stayed under our table and we needed to move. It was anxious. The chef wasn't very polite in giving us a discount (he didn't bother we had to endure this), we needed to ask for that later that evening.
