Landgasthof Zur Linde Laaben

Erg leuke ligging met goede parkeergelegenheid. Ontvangst en bediening bovenmatig goed. Heel gezellig terras en fantastisch goede keuken. Wel zijn de restaurantprijzen aan de hoge kant. Niet écht té hoog, maar toch. Ontbijt eveneens prima

This place is an excellent stay in rural Lower Austria (not too far from A1 motorway) and approx 60 km from Vienna. Everything is done nearly to perfection. Rooms prices are slightly up-market considering that Brand-Laaben is a very small town. For casual tourists probably overpriced. An additional €13 pp is added for breakfast. Our room was nearly impeccable, but not quite because it had no air conditioning. The restaurant was excellent, with freshly prepared local produce. We had the '3-course dinner of the day' and a bottle of good wine, very tasteful though not quite haute cuisine. The restaurant bill was a shock: unpleasantly overpriced and this is the only reason why I am not rating this place as 'excellent'. The bill even included a separate charge for setting the table ('Tischkultur'). I'd love to come back, but I'll think twice before I do...
