Paprika, Pigs and Pike-Perch

Discover some of the best dishes of the Burgenland region with a spicy & aromatic twist at “Zur Dankbarkeit” in Podersdorf. Located on the east side of Lake Neusiedl and just 1½ hours south of Vienna in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this charming restaurant lies along the border with Hungary.

Experience the flavors of traditional dishes with the flair of eastern spices. A sweet and spicy kick of paprika exhilarates the restaurant’s classic soup of pike-perch caught fresh from the lake, saffron adds complexity to the house panna cotta, and ham from the free-range and rare breed of local Mangalitsa melts in your mouth. Don’t forget that wine from the region is key to your meal! The village of Podersdorf is located in a region that specializes in luscious sweet wines called Trockenbeerenauslese. The aromas of dried apricot, pineapple, and cinnamon in a luxuriously sweet and creamy body create an absolutely heavenly end to your meal.
