When can you get the goose?
November 3
Dressed up like an elderly gentlemen who wields a cane, wears a monocle and a felt alpine cap with a feather sticking out, Gasthaus Wild is right up there as one of the cosiest Austrian Gasthäuser. Spruced wood panelling, a beautiful bar with beer taps and wines as far as the eye can see, like we said, it’s a handsome place.
It’s Martinigansl is the real deal. They specialise in hard-to-find game meat dishes here, so it goes without saying that their Martinigansl game is golden. The accompanying Rotkraut is balanced perfectly between sweet and sour, and the dumplings are as plump as plump can be.
Gasthaus Wild is wild for wine, by the way, and has been known to many in the 3rd district as a favourite local for ages, especially since its rebirth in 2002 when it went from a bum of a Beisl (bistro-pub) to its handsome looks of today.
The period that they serve Martinigansl is short, so be quick and be sure to reserve.
