The Knoll family's eating house in Unterloiben, a kilometre from Dürnstein, with a garden, Danube crayfish and apricot desserts. Kitchen open non-stop at midday.

The house
The Loibnerhof is in Unterloiben, the first village downriver from Dürnstein, among vineyards. It is run by the Knoll family: in the kitchen, a classic Austrian menu with produce from the Wachau and the Waldviertel; in the dining room, the service of an old-fashioned house. It has indoor dining rooms and a garden under the trees that in summer is the most sought-after.
What to order
The speciality you will not find just anywhere is the Krebsnudeln, home-made pasta with Danube crayfish (€29 on the current menu). There is also pan-fried Kalbswiener (€30), sweetbreads, calf's liver and, in autumn, goose. For dessert the Wachau apricot reigns: Marillenbuchteln (little vanilla buns, about a 30-minute wait) or Topfenknödel with apricot compote. They sell apricot jam and walnut spirit at the house to take away.
Getting there and when to go
It is a kilometre from Dürnstein on the north-bank road and beside the Danube cycle path, so it fits well into a cycling stage between Krems and Dürnstein. It has its own car park with two electric charging points. It is open from Wednesday to Sunday; closed Monday and Tuesday. The kitchen does not stop at midday, so you can lunch at 15:00 without a problem.

Qué pedir: the Krebsnudeln (pasta with Danube crayfish), the pan-fried veal schnitzel and, for dessert, the Marillenbuchteln or the Topfenknödel with apricot.

A tener en cuenta: Wednesday to Sunday · Closed Monday and Tuesday · Continuous kitchen at midday
