Wispelhof

Klagenfurt


This pared-back rustic dining room is beautifully stylish and is the perfect backdrop for a menu of Carinthian favourites – confit venison, fried liver and baked calf's head – along with Austrian standards and some nice Italian plates. The produce is usually from local farmers, and it has the best beef tartare in town.
