Zum Hirschen

Zell am See


Warm pine panelling, flickering candles and friendly yet discreet service create an intimate feel in this smart restaurant. The chef makes the most of local ingredients, so expect dishes such as organic Pinzgauer beef Tafelspitz, local trout with dill potatoes and Tyrolean mountain lamb.
