Bergrestaurant Mooserboden — Restaurant in Kaprun

ℹ️English Review below!

🇦🇹: Ein Stern für den schönen Ausblick auf den Stausee. Essen und Personal bei Essenszubereitung eine Katastrophe! Ich hatte Grillwürstel mit Pommes bestellt, ansich ein Gericht mit niedriger „Fallhöhe“. Die Grillwürstel entpuppten sich jedoch als „Fritteusen-Frankfurter“ (Wiener Würstchen) welche lustlos mittels Kreuzschnitt an den Enden eingekringelt wurden (wollte dieses kulinarische Fiasko nicht fotografieren daher leider kein Foto…). Ein Gedicht für Augen und Gaumen. Die Pommes waren ok, für den Gesamtpreis von 10,50€. Die „nette“ Dame an der Essenszubereitung kannte leider keine Begrüßungsformeln wie „Guten Tag!“ oder „Was möchten Sie essen?“. (Sie war aber der deutschen Sprache mächtig!) Stattdessen wurde man mit großen Augen angestarrt bis man dann wohl endlich seine Bestellung sagte. Wenn Gerichte länger zur Zubereitung dauerten, wurden sie teilweise mit den Worten „Essen ist fertig!“ ausgerufen. Da kennt man sich dann natürlich sofort aus, welches Essen gemeint ist 😉. Mein Tipp für alle Nachahmer: Oben die Aussicht genießen, vielleicht selber eine Kleinigkeit zum snacken einpacken, jedoch dann lieber im Tal gemütlich und vor allem lecker (!) bei einem der vielen Gasthäuser essen gehen. Ich besuchte das Bergrestaurant am 11. August 2024 gegen 13:00 Uhr.

🇺🇸: One star for the beautiful view of the reservoir. The food and the staff preparing it were a disaster! I ordered grilled sausages with fries, a dish that should be pretty straightforward. However, the grilled sausages turned out to be "deep-fried Frankfurters" (Vienna sausages), carelessly curled at the ends with a cross-cut (I didn’t want to photograph this culinary fiasco, so unfortunately no photo…). A true delight for the eyes and palate. The fries were okay, considering the overall price of €10.50. The "friendly" lady preparing the food, unfortunately, didn’t know any common greetings like "Hello!" or "What would you like to eat?". (She did speak German, though!) Instead, you were stared at with wide eyes until you finally placed your order. When dishes took longer to prepare, they were sometimes announced with the words "Food is ready!" So, of course, you immediately knew which meal was meant 😉. My tip for everyone who follows: Enjoy the view from above, maybe pack a small snack for yourself, but then it’s better to eat down in the valley, comfortably and most importantly, deliciously (!) at one of the many guesthouses. I visited the mountain restaurant on August 11, 2024,...

Very crowded restaurant during the summer as this is the only restaurant at this place and the Mooserboden stausee is a pretty touristy place. From here you can do alot of beautiful hikes into the mountains. But make sure to dress appropriately! The weather can change rather quickly and because of the 2000+ metres altitude the temperatures are significantly lower. When the sun is out the restaurant terrace is a great place to sit and enjoy lunch. Restaurant closes pretty early and if you want to make it down to the valleystation, make sure to catch the last bus down around 17.00. This last bus ride takes you all the way down through a long tunnel under the mountain and along the dam....

We were in a group and I ordered pancake soup (Frittatensuppe) and the Schnitzel with fries. The soup had those dry short pancake strips you can buy cheap and prepackaged - absolutely nothing I would ever expect at a restaurant. The Schnitzel came with a side of potato salad (tasted like the kind you can buy premade in buckets). We were offered fries on the side which were okay. The Schnitzel itself was highly likely the sort you buy frozen and put into the fryer or oven. It tasted of old frying oil. The restaurant itself wasn't very clean and there was a very bad smell on the way to the bathrooms. I'd avoid this restaurant if you...
