Hick's Heurigenstadl - Spitz

Waren zum 2. Mal in Hick's Heurigenstadl (Bei Café Marille) und wieder sehr angetan. Innen nette Einrichtung, regional, viel Holz, draußen nette Sitzplätze mit Panorama zur Donau, im Rücken thront die Ruine Hinterhaus. Ganz liebe Bedienung, für ein nettes Pläuschen offen, unser Hund bekam ungefragt Wasser, sehr angenehm. Saßen beim Fenster/Durchreiche zur Küche. Ein entspannter Koch, saubere Küche, die Speisen (Käsespätzle, Pute natur auf Blattsalat, Leberknödel- und Frittatensuppe) keine Haubenküche, aber schmackhaft, gut gewürzt und zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne wieder, weil das Essen gut ist und der Kundenservice bemüht und freundlich ist.

We were looking for a Schnitzel by the Danube experience and came across Spitzerl. Order was taken at the table for four Schnitzels and chips, two beers, a coke and water. Drinks came out promptly and meals followed about 10 minutes later. The Schnitzels were...dinner plate size, sitting on a dinner plate of fries. A very generous meal with only two out four being eaten completely and not from want of trying. Our outside table was at street level across the road from the Danube, so not exactly river views more beside the river. Really well cooked Schnitzel, very nice beer all alongside the Danube.

We had very slow service at the non-smoking side. The food is good, and it is definitely a bonus that there is a non-smoking area!

There are not many dining options in Spitz and this little place south of the rotary and parallel to the Danube River is the best we found. There is ample parking and both indoor and outdoor seating - choose outdoor if you can. Indoor is "cute" but a bit much; outdoor is casual with nicely carved wooden picnic style tables and benches and a nice view of the river (albeit right on the road so some road noise). The French fries are excellent - crispy not greasy and fresh. The pork weiner schnitzel could feed two people easily and again is very fresh, not greasy, not too heavy on the breading, and delicious with the currant sauce as a dip. You can order the salad without ("ona") dressing and without the "mixed salads" that are so prevalent, and they will (albeit with bewilderment by our server but she acquiesced just the same) bring you a very fresh, hearty, and HEALTHY green salad with tasty raw vegetables that is very hard to find in Austria. The zwiegelt rot wein was surprisingly very good. Highly recommend!

Driving along the Danube in the Wachau Valley we happened upon this little place where we stopped for dinner. We sat outside and enjoyed tall, cold beers and delicious food - sheep's cheese with hearty fresh dark bread, cold, thinly sliced pork on fresh dark bread with horseradish mustard, cheese, pickles and tomatoes, and a hot tender pork dinner with potato dumplings. Food, service and atmosphere were great and prices were very moderate. Definitely worth a visit!
