Flos Restaurant — Restaurant in Zell am See

The atmosphere of a snow-covered rustic inn is very authentic. The food shows a lot of creativity and is made of excellent ingredients. The cooking demonstrates multiple techniques. The service aims at being very attentive and warm. The genre of the place is definitely “slow food”, although the service does seem somewhat slow regardless.

There is, though, something that stands between this restaurant and providing a truly memorable experience, and it requires more attention to fine details.

At a restaurant of the level Flos aims at, it is very surprising that the waiters do not remember which diner ordered which dish, asking you about it and moving silverware around.

Furthermore, while the unique pottery is very creative, it doesn’t seem connected to the dishes. For the appetizers, for example, it takes more time to set the pottery and the stones on the table, than to consume the actual food. The small tree branches used on the table for the silverware are also not really related to the dishes, and are quite uncomfortable.

Portion sizes sometimes are also not entirely aligned with the bread served with the dishes.

So, with more attention to service management and diner experience, this place could provide a much better overall outcome, at a level...

We dined at this restaurant on Boxing Day, drawn by its excellent reviews and the enticing photos of beautifully plated dishes on the website. While there were aspects of the meal that we enjoyed, the overall experience left room for improvement.

The menu and especially the main courses are somewhat limited and the pricing felt quite steep—especially for dishes like the venison, priced at €47. For a restaurant with upscale ambitions, the presentation and overall dining experience didn’t fully meet expectations.

I ordered the cod, which was served only as a fried fillet alongside a side of potato salad. The cod was overly salty, requiring it to be sent back twice. The staff assured me no salt had been added, which left me a bit confused.

The ambiance is really good and the restaurant shows potential and clearly has its fans, but I felt the execution didn’t quite match the high-end image they project. Perhaps the chef was off during Christmas :). With some adjustments to pricing, presentation, and consistency, I believe it could...

The food at Flos was exceptional, their set menu takes such simple food concepts and makes them taste beautiful, the presentation of each meal was also stunning. One of my meals was the baked egg and potato and it is genuinely up there with one of the best meals I've ever had.

I took one star off for the atmosphere because we went on a Sunday evening and it was very quiet.

Other than that, I would 100% recommend Flos to anyone! Please see some...
