As I was writing my post for today's People and Places, I was prompted to write about Gasthaus Kanzler Biener Restaurant Café Bar, which commands a strategic position in Rattenberg's pedestrianised precinct.
As you can see, our lunch was fairly light which is unusual for me. This was because we had a heavy breakfast at the hotel.

We were attracted to the restaurant by its large lunch crowd. Most of them were sitting outside by the sidewalk where they could eat, drink and people-watch.
The menu is predominantly Austro-Germanic with an inviting range of authentic Tyrolean fare. I had Tyrolean dumplings in a cream sauce topped with chopped chives and bacon bits (Austria's version of the Italian gnocchi). This dish is served with fresh green salad. Darling L had Goulash soup with bread and salad.

Both dishes were up to notch.
A meal at Kanzler Biener should not be rushed through. Take your time to savour every single morsel of the chef's creation. After lunch, chat over coffee or quietly watch the world go by. After all, a day in Rattenberg should be taken at a slow pace in order to appreciate its beauty in entirety.
Gasthaus Kanzler Biener comes with my personal recommendations. You will not walk away from a meal here, feeling unfulfilled.
