What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Buzihütte is celebrated for its authentic home-cooked Austrian cuisine, cozy mountain ambiance, and stunning views, making it a must-visit for traditional food lovers. While many praise the hearty dishes, excellent service, and charming decor, a few reviews mention inconsistencies in food quality and portion sizes, with one reviewer finding certain dishes to be bland and disappointing.
"We went there for Törggelen in October but I gotta say we booked it two months in advance. Since we ordered both of the menus (with & without meat), I can comment on both and even compare them. When we arrived there, our table was already ready and the appetiser, aufstricht (something you can put on your bread) was waiting with the bread. To be honest, this was the worst of the whole menu. They used the cheapest type of bread and also Aufstricht, I have eaten was better ones earlier. However, the first warm dish (soup) was so tasty! (both Geistlsuppe and Pumpkin soup)🤤 Then, they served Käsespatzle and Krautsalat in the middle to share. They were also good. Afterwards, the main dish arrived. The one with meat was delicious but vegetarian version (Knödel) was below average. The dessert (Kaiserschmarn) was so fatty but good. In the end, they served grapes & chestnuts. Unfortunately, they were the worst chestnuts I have ever eaten: they were boiled instead of being roasted. That’s why, the taste was so watery and boring 🤷♀️ In general, it was too much food for this price and except a few things (appetiser, vegetarian main dish and chestnuts) I was happy with what we received.
By the way, I need to say that drinks are not included the menu (except one schnapps you get as digestive after the main dish). Besides, I loved how they decorated there 😍 It’s a small but very cute place."
