Murau, Austria
Lercher's Wirtshaus
A fourth-generation Wirtshaus in Styria's Upper Murtal valley, Lercher's pairs comfortable lodging with a kitchen grounded in close-range sourcing: char from the Schwarzenberg fish farm, Styrian Duroc pork, and seasonal game from the surrounding hills. Hosts Anna Lercher and Daniel Leitner trained together at Vienna's Steirereck before returning to run the family inn, and that pedigree is legible on the plate.
