The lights have come back on in the time-honored Gasthaus Fischerhäusl in the historic building at Flussgasse 3. The listed building, which dates back to 1642, has been home to a restaurant for around 40 years, but was last empty. Now guests can experience a touch of vacation.

Well-informed Krone readers have known for almost a month that the Gasthaus Fischerhäusl on the banks of the Danube in Urfahr is finally being brought back to life. At that time, neo-landlord Ümit Mete promised to reopen the "Danube jewel" with its dream guest garden, which Brau-Union sales director Josef Paukenhaider had already raved about, in July. The gastronomy expert kept his word - the traditional restaurant opened its doors yesterday.

And the guests were impressed. On the one hand, they were impressed by the ambience that Mete had created in such a short time by adding white gravel, palm trees and elegant furniture to the guest garden. Expert Michael Nell (Schwarzer Bär) commented approvingly: "It's much more open now, like a vacation in the city." The Austrian delicacies also impressed the audience.
