5 austrian restaurants worth the trip across Germany, editor-ranked. All cuisines in Germany.

Horvath ★ 4.7

€€€€Modern AustrianKreuzbergBerlin

Sebastian Frank's two-star Horvath on Berlin's Paul-Lincke-Ufer cooks a vegetable-led Austrian tasting; the canal-side terrace runs the summer.

OrderThe Carinthian-style cheese dumplings and whichever goat course is on; both stay on the tasting year-round.

TipThe terrace at lunch in summer is the room's best seating. Bookings open eight weeks out at 10:00 Berlin time.

Lohninger ★ 4.6

€€€AustrianSachsenhausenFrankfurt

Lohninger holds a Michelin star at the foot of Frankfurt's Schweizer Straße, where Mario Lohninger plates Austria from schnitzel to Kaiserschmarrn.

OrderThe Wiener Schnitzel from the Heimat menu, then Kaiserschmarrn

TipAsk for the Heimat carte rather than the tasting menu on a first visit; same kitchen, half the bill, and the goulash travels well.

Lohninger ★ 4.6

€€€AustrianSachsenhausenFrankfurt

Lohninger brings Michelin-starred Austrian cooking to Frankfurt's Schweizer Straße: Mario Lohninger's schnitzel, Ochsenbackerl goulash and Kaiserschmarrn.

OrderWiener Schnitzel with cucumber and potato salads, then the gluten-free Kaiserschmarrn

TipThe Heimat classics side of the menu is far cheaper than the tasting side; both come from the same starred kitchen.

Horvath ★ 4.5

€€€€VienneseBerlin

Sebastian Frank's two-star Horvath on Berlin's Paul-Lincke-Ufer cooks a vegetable-led Austrian tasting; the canal-side terrace runs the summer service.
