First things first: Be sure to allow plenty of time. Stefan Glantschnig and his team take you on a culinary journey exploring Lake Weissensee and its surroundings. In a tasting menu comprising 12 creative courses, outstanding ingredients sourced almost exclusively from the immediate vicinity are showcased through exciting flavour combinations. The meltingly tender local char fillet with house-made caviar, freshly grated wasabi and delicate shiso sauce is a fine example. A maximum of eight guests can be seated at the Chef's Table, located not in the kitchen but in an exclusive room on the first floor of the Neusacherhof hotel. The intimate space resembles a small library, with an attractive collection of cookbooks on display and distinctive touches of red and black. A large window affords a sensational view of the lake and the surrounding meadows and mountains. Service with a personal touch comes courtesy of chef-patron Stefan Glantschnig and his charming wife. He serves and explains the dishes himself, and she also recommends interesting wine pairings or excellent alcohol-free alternatives. Even the local fisherman is on hand in the evening to share insights about whitefish, lake trout and other local catches. A lovely touch: The evening begins with freshly made popcorn and Champagne. The new concept goes by the name "OdysSEE".
