Wirtshaus Römerstein

Came here to have dinner on a Saturday night in January. The restaurant near our accommodation, despite being empty, said they could not serve us dinner. We walked here and were welcomed by the friendly owner and his staff. Delicious food. Great atmosphere. The beef tongue appetizer was unique and memorable. Highly recommend. Thanks for a great meal.

We visited the restaurant on a Monday in July. We had: - vegan chicken with potato salad - Wiener schnitzel with fries - kaiserschmarrn with plum + apple sauce The portions and the prices were great (not to mention they had vegan options). We were mostly in Obertraun and Hallstatt, but we had our best meal here. The lady who served us also was super kind and spoke great English - if we visit the region again, we’d definitely come back. It’s a gem!!

We found the restaurant by chance on a freezing night. the service from the owner was impeccable, the food very good in quality of ingredients, execution and quantity and at reasonable prices. the kitchen looked clean and the atmosphere was nice.

We called here for a drink and the night after for dinner. We sat outside under the umbrellas and shady trees. The staff mostly spoke some English and were very nice. English menus are available. We had Schnitzel at around €15 a large portion with lots of skinny fries.

A great haven. We had 3 soups (liver, beetroot and cheese dumplings). All were superb. The hotel looked lovely and very friendly, helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.

It was excellent. The fish we had was extremely tasty as well as the hospitality of Jan who is the new owner. The beer was also tasty and fresh. We will surely come back again and reccommend this place to other friends and guests.

We stayed there for five nights and were very charmed by the place and the little town.||The rooms are good and the bathroom/toilet is 100 % OK. The rooms are very individual and equipped in a very Austrian way.||Nice breakfast and good service. ||And remember to enjoy the lovely town, Bad Aussee. There is always a lot going on, at least in the summer time, but it seems that there is a lot of parties, theater, and concerts etc. all the year.

The Blaue Traube (The Blue Grape)||*restaurant visit not hotel stay*||||It's 2019, and I've lived here for a number of years. Each time a new owner takes the place over, my husband and I give it a chance. Sadly, we even gave it two chances this time, thinking it may have been a one-off. We even brought our own high chair as they hadn't had one the first time- and any new parents know what a meal without is like. Second time round, we went for a big family meal, with 28 of us. Some of us were able to eat, pay the bill and consider leaving before others had even had a starter. ||I had a soup with chopped savoury pancake strips (Fritattensuppe) which was a packet soup style taste, with soggy strips. Every place over here has to be able to serve a decent Fritattensuppe. My "chicken salad" (or "chicken on salad", as the menu stated) was the saddest ordeal in history. It was grilled and marinated chicken breast, on chopped up iceberg lettuce with a dressing...and two slices of toast on the side. Pretty tasteless, and slightly embarrassing. My husband's schnitzel arrived two minutes after his soup,without cranberry sauce or a slice of lemon(pretty much a given over here) and was, again, terribly bland. His words- "thank goodness there were so many chips". ||On speaking to other family members, the ribs were cooked well but not seasoned or marinated, the battered vegetables were lacking any form of seasoning, portions were usually quite small and the general consensus was that everyone was still hungry after having eaten. Some of us (10) went somewhere else for dessert. ||||All in all, a disappointment for the annual Easter meal (well, we did tell you so, Aunt So-and-So!!). When asked about a speciality dish (like Polish ravioli) and how it was made, the owner gave himself away, saying he was very proud of the dish from his home country, but he would have to ask the chef....which hinted heavily that it was a frozen job. His German is very poor, which makes it hard for locals here to commnuicate, as not all of them can speak English very well. ||||||Such a shame, as there aren't many restaurants to choose from in this town- and each time a new one opens up (albeit for a short period of time as a rule), we actually wish them all the best and hope that this time, maybe this time, it'll be a decent restaurant.
