"First, a bit of backstory: my wife and I were hiking (on our first ever visit to the Wachau) from Weissenkirchen towards Spitz through the vineyards and forest; not a tough walk but as it happened, very hot, sunny and tiring. After an hour or...so I started feeling strangely dizzy perhaps a consequence of another long hot hike the day before and decided to cut the walk short by heading down to Wosendorf. By the time we reached the village I could hardly stand without reeling, and we asked a passing couple if they knew of a cafe or bar nearby. They simply pointed out that we were right next to a very good restaurant (which we hadn’t noticed). So we went in, mainly in search of rest and some kind of sustenance, liquid and solid. We had not expected to spend 115 euros for a bite to eat on our walk, but we never regretted our visit to the Hofmeisterei Hirtzberger for one minute. Notwithstanding our sweaty hiking attire, sticks and rucksacks we were at once made welcome in the shady garden terrace by the very efficient and friendly staff, and soon found ourselves enjoying a superb lunch that relaxed and rehydrated me and helped us forget about my unfortunate brief crisis. I started with a delicious white tomato soup; given the heat, I expected something gazpacho like but it was warm and no less refreshing for all that. We then both went for a venison dish cooked in two different ways: one roasted to perfection with a lovely accompaniment of shiitake mushroom, pearl barley and peach, the other a kind of mini casserole as a side bowl. Wow! So rich! Then we shared a dark chocolate, raspberry and coconut dessert which made for a perfect finish. Two glasses of very superior Gruner Veltliner, an espresso, a couple of soft drinks and some lovely breads before the meal a really fine summer lunch which revived me completely under the circumstances but which I’d have been exceptionally pleased with anyway. The garden is by a main ish road though not so you’d notice much. This is not a place for cheap eats, but for very fine food and wine it is wholly reasonable. We agreed we may never have had a finer venison main, and my soup was special. Wholly recommended, even though it doesn’t seem to appear in the local tourist leaflets. Is that because it’s not in one of the more touristy villages? Or because (despite using great local produce) it’s a little ‘adventurous’? Who cares? Check it out if you can..."

"on 26.07.17 my man and I returned to the churchkeeper for lunch.After we had ordered a tablet with 1 ball of fresh cheese, 2 half cocktail tomatoes and 6 thin paprika strips on the table, with a cut-out semmel. we were happy and thought it was a "great from the kitchen" when we paid, my man gave a generous drink. After we looked at the bill, this "gruß aus der koch" was calculated at €5.20. we find this as a tourist drop after the motto " the guests come only 1x." at the subsequent exact reading of the menu we found the "couvert is automatically served and calculated with 2.60 € per person".I would have another suggestion how to take the guests away. simply serve a marillen brand after eating. with 90% of the guests, you would have been sure to succeed because the least read the small print as in an insurance contract."

"We just came back from 4 days in Weißenkirchen in der Wachau. We are somewhat of a food snob from Southern California and had a difficult time finding good places to eat during our 3 wks in Central Europe (Prague, Vienna, Budapest). I would have to say Heinzle was a rare exception. We went on our first night stay in Weißenkirchen at the recommendation of our hotel hosts. The waterfront location was something special. We were seated without a reservation (first in a not so nice location, then quickly moved to a perfect spot to enjoy the Danube).Salad, two entrees, two drinks under $50. I would say something comparable in Los Angels (say Malibu, would easily double that without the picturesque Danube view/vibe). We knew we were at an authentic local gem of a restaurant when the check came without a service fee (most nicer or hotel run restaurants in the Wachau valley came with a 10% service fee). We were pleasantly surprised when the server was overly pleased with a 20% tip. All in all a very satisfying experience. The only regret was that we didn't get a chance for a return visit since they close on Mon & Tues."

"Das Lokal „Cafe & Eis & Pizzeria Donauprinzessin“ hat eine hervorragende Lage vis-a-vis der Donau, nur durch die Bundesstraße getrennt, dies ist aber nicht störend, da wenig Verkehrslärm. Das Innenlokal ist eher klein gehalten, aber dafür gibt es eine sehr große Terrasse mit vielen bequemen Sitzgelegenheiten und vielen Sonnenschirmen. Die Terrasse ist immer sehr gut frequentiert, da diese etwas über dem Straßenniveau liegt und daher eine sehr gute Aussicht auf die Donau und die gegenüberliegende Landschaft bietet. Direkt beim Lokal sind die Parkplätze eher dünn gesät, aber bei der nahe gelegenen Fähre gibt es immer wieder freie Plätze. Das Service ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Speise-Menükarte sehr übersichtlich, super große Pizzen (Winzerpizza, California, Calzone, Veggipizza etc.), die gut belegt sind, mit feinem Teig und auch geschmacklich sehr gut sind.Ein gutes Angebot an Mehlspeisen wie Marillen-Soufflé-Schnitte etc. sowie verschiedener Cafes ist ebenfalls vorhanden und sehr gutes selbstgemachtes Eis, wie Waldbeerbecher, Joghurtbecher, Nussbecher, Mozartbecher, Schokobecher, Waldviertler Mohnbecher (wirklich sehr gut), Wachauer Marillenbecher, gerührter Eiskaffee und Bananensplit und das bei einem sehr guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.Sollte diese Bewertung für Sie hilfreich gewesen sein, bitte den "Hilfreich Button" aktivieren!"

"Wir waren mit einer größeren Gruppe dort. Da das Lokal sehr gut besucht ist, sollte man einen Tisch reservieren. Sehr gute Küche, freundliches Personal, gutes Preis /Leistungsverhältnis. Da wir anschließend eine Schifffahrt gemacht haben, haben wir unsere Speisewünsche vorab per Mail bekannt gegeben. Dies hat hervorragend funktioniert. Kompliment an die Küche. Parkplätze vorhanden. Man hat einen schönen Ausblick auf die Donau und ist rasch zu Fuß bei den Ablegestellen der Fähre und der Donauschiffen. Lokal nur durch die Straße von der Promenade und Fluss getrennt. Zusammengefasst sehr zum Empfehlen !"
