Maria Loretto Restaurant

About

Maria Loretto is a family‑run fine‑dining gem located on the sparkling shores of Lake Wörthersee in Carinthia, Austria. With its elegant lakeside terrace, lush garden, and romantic interior, the restaurant offers diners a tranquil setting to enjoy the flavors of the Alpine‑Adriatic region. The kitchen, run by the Hofer family since 1978, emphasizes locally sourced ingredients, including produce from their own vegetable and herb garden, and a daily selection of fresh fish from regional partners at the marina. Guests can also bring their pets and boats, as a private marina with electric charging powers is available. The menu showcases a creative selection of Mediterranean and Austrian specialties, with price points starting at €7.90 for the Tomato Cream Soup and ranging through fresh fish, meat ribs, and traditional dishes such as Wiener Schnitzel and Lammrücken. The restaurant also offers vegan and gluten‑free options and a selection of desserts, including Tiramisu and chocolate ice‑cream pancakes. With an average visit of about two hours, diners leave with a memorable taste of regional cuisine paired with breathtaking lake views. For reservations, guests are encouraged to call the restaurant directly at +43 463 24465, as the website does not provide an online booking system. The opening hours are from 11:00 to 23:00 daily (with a warm kitchen available from 11:30 to 20:30), and the establishment is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (except public holidays). Guests can also visit the restaurant at their leisure during these hours.
