In 2016, at the age of 24, chef Lukas Kienbauer opened his own gourmet restaurant. Growing up in Schärding, there weren’t any fine-dining locations around. That’s why this ambitious chef made it his mission to prove it is possible to start an haute cuisine spot in his small hometown in Upper Austria. In 2015, he bought an old, run-down building and transformed it into the restaurant it is today, within no more than six months. It wasn’t an easy start, but luckily gourmets and critics soon discovered this extraordinary restaurant and its now critically-acclaimed cuisine.
