Restaurant Maria Loretto

Top choice in Klagenfurt


Situated on a headland above Wörthersee, this restaurant near the Strandbad has bags of lakeside character and is generally regarded by locals as one of the town's best. It does good trout and fish grills, though don't expect Mediterranean lightness of touch, as dishes come with a solid Austrian richness. Reserve for an outside table.
