Family time-out in the Hotel Brandstätter

While parents get to choose from ‘warm breast of veal salad with a vegetable vinaigrette and herbs’ and ‘home-made brawn served with red onion and pumpkin seed oil’ – or maybe even sway as to whether they might prefer to try the ‘roast fennel with Parmesan and browned butter’ or the ‘duck liver with glazed apples and creamed celeriac’, for the kids there is a ‘beef broth with semolina dumplings or pancake strips’ to stem those initial hunger pangs. Children can then follow with Viennese schnitzel, while parents have time for their wine accompaniment. In particular however, it is the time for slow pleasure and reflection as to whether you would prefer the ‘monkifish medallions served in noodle sheets with saffron butter and vegetables’, or ‘saddle of venison served with mushrooms, red cabbage and celeriac purée’! Then when dessert comes round children are keen as mustard again. An ice-cream is always the order of the day!
