1. Albrecht
$$$$ | |One of the city's most elegant fine dining experiences, Restaurant Albrecht near Bratislava Castle serves sumptuous, strictly seasonal French cuisine using the highest quality locally sourced ingredients; menus often list individual farms and producers. Head chef Jaroslav Žídek is known for his elaborate, multicourse tasting menus, but you can also order the dishes à la carte: opt for the tuna ceviche to start, the lamb back with sheep-cheese ravioli for main, and the plum dumplings to finish. If you don't want to trek back to town after dinner, you can stay at the attached hotel; it's a gorgeous 1920s building with great wellness facilities.

2. Erhardt
$$$ | |On a quiet side street a block from Várkerület, away from the main tourst drag, this excellent restaurant serves delicious, inventive dishes in a choice of beautiful settings: take your pick from the wood-beamed rooms upstairs, the beautiful 18th century brick-vaulted wine cellar below, or the leafy garden terrace outside. The menu features high quality, overwhelmingly meaty and fishy Hungarian fare, like roasted duck breast and paprika catfish (though vegetarian options like delicious barley-stuffed peppers do exist). If you find yourself too deep in the extensive wine list, there are 18 comfortable rooms available to rent.

3. Herberstein
$$$$ | |Tucked away inside the historic Kremsmünsterhaus, this elegant restaurant rocks a mod-retro look with cozy tables, muted lighting, and attractive stonework. The cuisine is Austrian with a touch of Asia, as evidenced by the selection of wok dishes and an excellent sushi bar. Main courses include mouthwatering variations of fish (the panfried tuna is a favorite) as well as meaty treats (the rib-eye steak is to die for). If the weather is nice, you can opt to sit outside in the inviting, enclosed courtyard. The bar is open late, often hosting famous DJs.

4. Verdi
$$$$ | |It may be some way out of town, but the exquisite food, intimate atmosphere, and gorgeous views at this fine dining restaurant make it worth a special trip. Passionate owner-chef Erich Lukas crafts clever, seasonal set menus that combine Austrian and Mediterannean influences to great effect. Unusually, it's also possible to order dishes from the menus individually. For budget conscious travelers, the neighboring Verdi Einkehr bistro shares the same kitchen but serves more standard Austrian fare. If you don't have a car, you'll need a taxi to get here as it's located close to Lichtenberg, about three kilometers (two miles) north of the town center.

The simple but satisfying buffet offers a selection of sausages, salads, cheeses, and pickles, as well as a few hot dishes, to complement the wine. You can also order entrées from the menu, such as roast pork with sauerkraut or soft cheese wrapped in bacon.

6. Corvinus
$ | |Set on the ground floor of the historic Storno House on Sopron’s delightful cobblestone main square, Corvinus combines a café, pub, pizzeria, and restaurant all in one. Among the traditional Hungarian specialties are a meaty soup with a baked-on pastry cap, and roast venison goulash with porcini mushrooms. Service is formal yet friendly, whether you dine inside under vaulted ceilings or at an outdoor table.

Above the bistro, five swanky El Gusto apartments are available to rent.

8. Gasthaus Jell
$$$ | |In the heart of the medieval Altstadt is this storybook stone cottage run by Ulli Amon-Jell (pronounced "Yell"), who serves the tried-and-true recipes of her grandmother and great-grandmother, with a bit of her own modern flair added to the mix. Snails au gratin in garlic herb butter, roast kidneys with bacon and onion, and gazpacho with buttery parmesan dumplings are popular items on the menu. There are always lighter fish and vegetarian dishes, too, but the chef's motto is "no one goes home hungry from my tavern." Leave room for dessert if you possibly can, as the homemade marillenknödel (warm, apricot-filled dumplings) are a delight. Book ahead in summer for a table under the grape arbor in the small, secluded outdoor dining area.
Hoher Markt 8, Krems, Lower Austria, A-3500, Austria02732-82345Known For

9. Jégverem Fogadó
$$ | |A short walk from the Inner Town, this charming restaurant is a perennial favorite for its cozy, rustic interior of wooden-beamed ceilings, cast iron light fittings, and checkered tablecloths, as well as for its "guzzle guts" menu of homemade Hungarian specialities, often with an inventive twist. In warm weather, you can also sit outside in the lovely, leafy courtyard. The portions here are enormous, so don't be shy about asking them to pack up leftovers to take away—everyone does it.

10. Kaiser von Österreich
$$$$ | |At this landmark in Krems's Old Town district, you'll find excellent regional cuisine along with an outstanding wine selection (some of these vintages come from the backyard). Owner-chef Haidinger learned his skills at Bacher, across the Danube in Mautern, so look for fresh river fish on the ever-changing set menus, along with locally-hunted wild boar and venison. The set menus start from three courses (€42.50; soup, main, and dessert) and go all the way up to six (€72.50).
Körnermarkt 9, Krems, Lower Austria, A-3500, Austria0800-400–171–052Known For

11. Loibnerhof
$$$$ | |It's hard to imagine a more idyllic setting for a memorable meal than this lovely restaurant in Unterloiben, a five-minute drive southeast of Dürnstein—especially if the weather is nice and tables are set out in the fragrant apple orchard. One of the oldest restaurants in the area, its kitchen offers inventive variations on regional themes, like Wachau fish soup, crispy roast duck, and foie gras parfait.

12. Muto
$$$$ | |There's a reason why the two-man creative team at this innovative Old Town restaurant chose the name "Muto." Meaning "transform" in Latin, it reflects their food philosophy; taking quality regional and seasonal ingredients and transforming them into delicious dishes with unusual and surprising flavor and texture combinations. The two seven-course menus (one for meat-eaters at €75 and one for vegetarians at €65) are always changing—just one more way in which this restaurant constantly surprises.

13. Promenadenhof
$$$ | |The atmosphere here is that of a spacious, contemporary Gasthaus, with a fabulous roofed garden filled with flowers. The varied menu of regional cuisine is reasonably priced and has a touch of the Mediterranean, with plenty of vegetarian options available. Nevertheless, the highlights are traditionally Austrian and meaty; the steak tartare, the Tafelspitz (boiled beef), and the size-of-your-head schnitzels. The place is easy to find; just look for the theater in the heart of the Altstadt.

14. Roxor
$$ | |Melt-in-the-mouth eco-farm beef, crunchy double-cooked fries, and crisp craft beers are the order of the day at this excellent burger joint. There are half a dozen burger options to choose from, including veggie mushroom and vegan patty ones; all are cooked medium as standard and served with tasty sides like rosemary or garlic fries, kimchi, and coleslaw. It may be out of the city center but this place is seriously popular at lunch and dinner, so either book ahead or come early.

15. Rudolfshof
$$ | |Enjoy a walk through the Kurpark, where you'll find this 19th-century hunting lodge. The fine restaurant serves traditional dishes from the region, including Wiener and chicken schnitzel, pork fillet, and venison stew. The excellent wines served are local vintages, particularly St. Laurent, Zweigelt, and Blauer Portugieser. Stop for a meal or just take a break with coffee and cake. On weekends with clear air and good weather, the grand vistas across the hills from the terrace mean it's hard to get a table.

16. Rusterhof
$$ | |A lovingly renovated burgher's house—the town's oldest—at the top of the main square houses an excellent and imaginative restaurant. The menu depends on what's fresh, and might include grilled fish or Wiener schnitzel made with organic veal. Finish with apple strudel or marzipan. Light natural woods and vaulted ceilings set the tone in a series of smaller rooms; in summer there's an outside garden.

17. Wellen.Spiel
$$ | |This riverside bar-restaurant, overlooking the landing station from which the Danube to Melk cruises depart, makes a lovely spot for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Local specialties like freshly-caught fish and flammkuchen (a pizza-like pie slathered in crème fraîche, onions, and bacon bits) sit alongside no-fuss favorites like burritos, burgers, and steaks. Come in the evening to watch the sun slowly set over the river as you eat.
