A Frenchman in Burgenland – and full of conviction. Alain Weissgerber is one of the most charismatic representatives of Austrian fine dining. Together with his wife Barbara Eselböck, he runs Taubenkobel, a place with an extraordinary atmosphere: a gourmet restaurant, boutique hotel and creative stage, rolled into one. Taubenkobel has gained renown far beyond its home region and is considered a culinary institution with cult status.
Weissgerber’s cuisine is a clear commitment to the region. The Pannonian terroir, the proximity to Lake Neusiedl, and the changes in the seasons all shape his signature. French precision is combined with down-to-earth Austrian sensibilities, traditional craftsmanship with playful creativity. The result is dishes of deep aromatic quality, exquisite tension and uncompromising product quality.
Alain Weissgerber has created a unique microcosm in which culinary refinement, art, sustainability and joie de vivre combine in remarkable harmony – receiving 2 Michelin stars and 18.5 GaultMillau points for his efforts.
