Shaded by magnificent old trees, this brewery's enormous beer garden (which can seat more than 1,000) is a popular stop for sipping a summertime Hacklberger beer, while tucking into a plate of sausages or the pumpkin-seed breaded roast chicken.
For atmospheric dining, this 14th-century monastery-turned-wine cellar is a must. In summer you can eat beneath chestnut trees; in winter seek out the warmth of the vaulted, dark-paneled dining rooms. The wines—made in Austria from grapes from the Spitalkirche Heiliger Geist vineyards—are excellent and suit all seasons.
The beer you sip on the high, sunny terrace overlooking the Danube is brought fresh from Peschl's own brewery below which, along with this traditional Bavarian restaurant, has been owned by the same family since 1855. Expect hearty Bavarian cuisine, from schnitzels to steaks.
