Cafe Vivarium - Brigitte Buchner : Schönbrunner Str. 1, 83129 Höslwang

The garden is truly magnificent, but the rest... We made a reservation there for a birthday, with the manager's promise that the table would be decorated a bit. Unfortunately, the already faded and wilted marjoram was the only "decorative element" on the table. Was that perhaps a reference? One of the waitresses (roughly middle-aged) was friendly and accommodating, but very slow and somewhat forgetful. The younger waitress was simply arrogant and unfriendly. A real shame. The food was okay, but unfortunately, it didn't justify the price in any way. The portion size is moderate, but the visual impression was truly lackluster—eating with the eye definitely doesn't count. What a shame.

The most beautiful thing about this restaurant is the garden. But further down by the water the tables were no longer set. Because the distance is too far for service? We came here to eat for a few years. Before, everything was quite ok. But unfortunately the price-performance ratio hasn't been right here for over a year. The food has become much worse and the service has deteriorated significantly. The cleanliness of the tables such as: B. unkempt, broken and totally torn tablecloths or no toilet paper at all in the toilet is not possible! There was also no hook on the toilet, so you had to put your handbag and jacket on the floor, which wasn't pleasant. The pork loin in tomato sauce was so bland and inedible and at €13.90 it was clearly too expensive. The waitress didn't respond to our criticism at all and just laughed stupidly. The restaurant finally saw us for the last time. Only photos number 3, 4 and 7 are from today's visit. The others were from summer 2018, where the food was even better. That's why I reduced it to 1 star.

We had a wonderful evening outside in the garden, with a cozy atmosphere, nice service and wonderful food. This place invites you to relax and end the day.
