A Sunset to Remember - Mole West

You've made a reservation at a serene lakeside restaurant for an early evening dinner after an all-day biking excursion. Your waiter recommends a roasted pike-perch served with a pumpkin potato strudel and light radicchio salad, paired with a classic Zweigelt, a red wine from the eastern shore of the lake. And that's when you look up and notice just how perfect the venue is.

The vast steppe lake is surrounded by a gentle Schilf grass, around which over 300 birds have made their home for the summer. As the birds settle in for the night, their quiet chatter mingles with the peaceful lapping of the waves. As a dark red sunset melts over the horizon, this much is clear: The place to be is MOLE WEST, a restaurant/lounge/bar at the lakeside village of Neusiedl, in Burgenland.
