The sweet Linzer Torte revolution
The world’s oldest cake with surprising flavors. #eatAUT
For Marco Barth and Sebastian Rossbach, the chef duo behind the fine-dining restaurant Rossbarth in Linz, many dishes from Austria’s classic cuisine are already close to perfect. Take the Wiener Schnitzel, for example: it doesn’t need panko instead of breadcrumbs. That’s precisely why they enjoy experimenting, from a culinary perspective, with a true “original from Linz.”
The duo is joined by Pascal Dallarosa. He began his career as a chef de partie at Restaurant Rossbarth and later took on the role of head chef. His high standards of quality and creativity were rewarded with 4 Gault&Millau toques in 2024.
Sebastian Rossbach: “The Linzer torte’s jam-flavored shortcrust pastry brings back memories of grandma, mom, and family.”

Interview with Sebastian Rossbach
Restaurant Rossbarth
The chef duo Marco Barth and Sebastian Rossbach follow a philosophy of “experimentation and grounded disobedience.” Housed in the former “Linzer Stuben,” the restaurant revitalizes its historic setting and combines traditional recipes with modern ideas. The dishes are rooted in “grandma’s cooking,” interpreted in a creative and contemporary way. Special emphasis is placed on working with regional producers and small family-run businesses in Austria to ensure quality and authenticity.
