The 'Emperor of Austria' is one of Krems' most well-loved upmarket restaurants. Interiors recall a hunting lodge, which sets the scene for menus built around the region's bounty of game, from deer to pheasant to rabbit. Other hyperlocal ingredients like Wachau apples and apricots, wild herbs and mushrooms, Waldviertel fish and Weinviertel pumpkins are also used in the finely crafted, imaginative dishes.
The kitchen is happy to cater for vegetarians and those with allergies – just let the staff know when you book, which you must if you ever want to get a table here.
