Litziger Lay - echt österreichisch in Traben-Trarbach

Great restaurant, unfortunately no wheelchair accessible toilet

Had a delicious meal at Litziger Lay. Very friendly service and a casual atmosphere. Recommended!

The food was really really nice. Not just tasty, but also a good portion. I can absolutely recommend it!

The Litziger Lay restaurant is an Austrian restaurant in Traben-Trarbach and is located directly on the Moselle. There is a large selection of high quality and very tasty dishes here. The prices for the dishes are quite expensive, but the quality of the individual dishes is extremely good. The Litziger Lay restaurant also offers high-quality wines from the region and of course from Austria. The staff and owners are very friendly, quick and attentive.

Just great. Far away from the hustle and bustle of tourism, I had lunch there with my motorcycle colleague in an idyllic location on the Moselle. Great class. It is advisable to reserve a place. Thank you for the lovely time.

We ate here for the first time between Christmas and New Year. Since the restaurant has relatively few seats, you have to reserve a table well in advance; spontaneous visits are unlikely to work. But our joy was even greater that it finally worked. Our conclusion: Delicious Austrian food in a cozy atmosphere with friendly, attentive but unobtrusive service. It's also great that you can choose from 2 sizes for the dishes. Also worth mentioning is the beautiful and large selection of wines from the region and Austria. We will definitely come back. Update 2024: We have now eaten at Litziger Lay several times and it has been wonderful every time.

Very good Wiener Schnitzel eaten with potato salad. Nice service

Very good typical Austrian food. Highly recommended! The dishes are very well served even in their smaller version.

Small restaurant with high-quality Austrian dishes just outside Traben-Trarbach (approx. 15 minutes walk from the center). Very tasty and extremely courteous service. The guest room could be a little more comfortable, but that can be a matter of opinion.

Virtually impossible to get a seat, but if you do, you're in luck: Friendly people. Delicious food. Cozy restaurant. Price/quality is top. Do your best to get a table, it's worth it!

Delicious food, friendly service, reasonable prices for the quality offered. I'd love to try the dumplings again...

The Wiener Schnitzel was tasty, but unfortunately a bit thin and priced in the upper segment. Optimizations are also possible with the fries. It was a bit chilly in the restaurant.

Very good restaurant. Authentic food, friendly staff.

Very nice location with good food. Wide choice of different dishes.

Very tasty Austrian food. Large portions. Located directly on the Moselle. Nice service. It's best to reserve a table. Highly recommended.

Nice restaurant, the food was good...the service was very attentive

We were greeted personally by the super nice chef (we were very early) and later the service took over. The food was absolutely great, very tasty and freshly prepared! I've never had such delicious Schupfnudeln before, and the cheese spaetzle was also great! Even the fried onions were homemade! We were very satisfied and will definitely come back! Thanks so much

Quaint restaurant on the Moselle. The quality of the food is okay.

Great food there. Very friendly and positive team on site. The pork medallions with wild garlic and mountain cheese sauce were simply great! Plus good wines, including local ones. We will definitely come back when we are back on the Moselle. Keep it up!!

Authentische österreichische Küche, frisch zubereitet und durch sehr freundliches Personal bedient worden. Preis/Leistung sind Spitze.

Nice place. The food was very tasty. Friendly staff

The food is sensationally good, no finished products are used, everything is crispy, fresh and exactly as it should be! Thank you very much, keep it up!

We ended up here by chance and we were very happy. Thanks for the great schnitzel

Nice restaurant right on the Moselle. There is a parking space on the street. The staff is really very attentive and friendly, you immediately feel at home. The menu is quite small, I would have liked dumplings as a side dish with the main course. The Wäldertöpfle was very tasty and filled me up quite a bit (normal portion). The meat could have been cooked for 1-2 minutes less, but that's complaining at a high level. We will definitely come back to try the other delicious things.

We had dinner here on the last evening of our holiday in Traben-Trarbach, encouraged by the many good reviews. And that was an excellent choice! I had the Bärlauchschupfnudeln, my husband the Salzburger Jaganocken with salad. Everything very tasty and freshly prepared with good ingredients. Extensive wine list, both Austrian and local wines. Smooth, friendly service. And all this in an attractive location with a view of the Moselle.

Schon oft an der Mosel gewesen und schlecht gegessen. Aber dieses Mal alles Top, was das kulinarische anbelangt - Empfehlung!

Very nice waitresses! Excellent Kaiserschmarrn! Unfortunately the Wiener Schnitzel could have been a little better, it wasn't really bad, but I expected more. The potato salad with it was great. The Aperol Spritz was clearly too thin for my taste and could have used more Aperol. All in all, a nice dinner!

We hiked stage 12 of the Moselsteig to Traben-Trarbach with full anticipation of the Käseknöpfle in the Litziger Lay. At first disappointment - no space - no cheese buttons🥺... then we were allowed to enjoy them. Nice service, he made it possible - super friendly and very tasty, even if only outside😉! Always happy and then with reservation 😃

Enjoyment! Service friendly and accommodating!

Wir hatten großes Glück dass am Samstagvormittag noch etwas für drei Personen frei war. Die Bedienung und der Service waren ausgezeichnet. Das Essen wurde warm und zügig serviert. Sehr ansprechend angerichtet. Bestellt wurden Brathendlstreifen auf Kartoffelvogerlsalat, Knödeltrio auf Wirsing-Lauch Gemüse und Wäldertöpfle. Geschmeckt hat es ausgezeichnet. Leider haben wir den Kaiserschmarren zu spät in Bestellung gegeben, dafür bekamen wir ein großes Stück Apfelstrudel serviert mit Vanillesoße, eine große Kugel Eis und eine große Portion Sahne. Vegetarier kommen hier auf ihre Kosten, da es viel Auswahl gibt!

Everything was great and great there. Food was great and tasty. We will definitely be there again on our next Moselle holiday

Very tasty food. Good portions. Very nice service. Prices are reasonable.

Great food with the best service and a wonderful ambience. Everything is freshly cooked and requests are catered for. This Austrian cuisine really leaves nothing to be desired.

I rarely do reviews, but here I think the restaurant more than deserves it. Finally a restaurant that still understands the meaning behind “restaurant”. If I get frozen goods from the wholesale market and nothing homemade, but the prices are high, that has nothing to do with a restaurant for me. I want something that I can't get anywhere else. First of all, the service is great and very friendly. The wines from the region are perfectly chilled and well selected. This was my fourth time there in 3 years and the quality is consistently high. You can tell it is cooked properly and freshly prepared, like when your grandma visits from Austria 😁 I can particularly recommend the “Wäldertöpfle” with the delicious mushroom sauce.

Das Essen, u. a. die Salzburger Jaganocken und das Knödeltrio war top. Leider gab es unsererseits bezüglich der Reservierung ein Mißverständnis. Statt wie tatsächlich reserviert um 18:00 Uhr, waren wir aufgrund eines Irrtums erst um 18:30 Uhr beim Restaurant. Unser Tisch im Außenbereich war da schon vergeben, so daß wir in den Innenbereich ausweichen mußten. Die Außentemperatur betrug zu diesem Zeitpunkt immer noch 28°C bei ca. 80% Luftfeuchtigkeit. Das Innenlokal war weder durchlüftet noch klimatisiert und es war dort kaum auszuhalten. Wir beschlossen trotzdem zu bleiben, zumal der Fußmarsch aus dem Ort bei dieser Witterung nicht angenehm war. Trotz mehrfacher Bitten und Fragen wurde uns beschieden, daß im halbvollen Außenbereich nun alles reserviert sei und ein Umzug dorthin nicht möglich sei. Allerdings blieben während der kompletten Zeit im Lokal (ca. 1,5 h) im Außenbereich ungefähr 6 Plätze an einem Tisch frei. Wir baten mehrfach um diese Plätze und boten an, daß wir sie beim Erscheinen der entsprechenden Gäste sofort wieder verlassen würden, aber das Servicepersonal stellte sich vollkommen stur. Die Verspätung war in diesem Falle unser Fehler, aber das nachfolgende trotzige Verhalten des Personals (oder der Eigentümerin) gegenüber den Gästen, wir haben das allesamt so empfunden, geht gar nicht! Im Ergebnis hat ein Teilnehmer unserer Gruppe es vorgezogen, sein Abendessen auf einer Bank vor dem Lokal zu verspeisen, da er es im Innenraum nicht ausgehalten hat.

Everything was to our complete satisfaction. We can unreservedly recommend the Resturant Litziger Lay. Very nice view of the Moselle while eating.

As a tourist experienced in Austria, the cuisine was harmonious. The staff friendly and informative. Offering one dish in three sizes is a wonderful idea. Simply recommended.

very nice young people who love to bring Austrian cuisine to the Moselle. Excellent food at fair prices! Thank you very much

Great food, the Wiener Schnitzel is simply terrific, Austrian and no comparison to the German Schnitzels. The cheese dumplings are also amazing. We happened to get the last two spots on Friday evening. You should reserve well in advance. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The service was quick and despite it being busy you hardly had to wait for your food. The atmosphere is very appealing and extremely cozy with a view of the Moselle. A jewel on the Moselle and can only be recommended

Delicious food and very friendly staff in a charming restaurant right on the Moselle.

Austrian food right on the Moselle. Super tasty. Service very friendly!

Delicious schnitzel. Just tasty schnitzel and fries, no fuss. Nice service and easy parking.

Great restaurant right on the Moselle. Super nice service and excellent food and drink. Absolute recommendation! Tip: Be sure to reserve online beforehand so that you are guaranteed to get a spot.

Super tasty food in a beautiful location.

We had a very tasty meal here. The location is incredibly beautiful. Thank you, we'll be happy to come back.

Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food because we didn't stay until then. The rest actually deserves zero stars… We sat down at the table and shortly afterwards the menus were placed on the table without comment or greeting. When our dog barked shortly afterwards, the owner came out straight away to tell us that we had to keep the dog quiet. Very understandable in itself, but it was really just a short bark. What's exciting is that the dog was seen as a nuisance by the restaurant, while the delivery man who had been parked with the engine running for over 15 minutes and the newly paved path right next to the outdoor seating were obviously considered acceptable. After another critical look from the man (perhaps the owner?) and a snarky comment, we left. Primarily because of the tar and the supplier, but also because unfortunately we are not welcome with dogs, which is a shame. So if you can ignore tar and running engines and don't have dogs or children, you can definitely feel at home here.

We had already given up hope of good food on our multi-day bike tour along the Moselle until we discovered this little restaurant in Traben-Trarbach. The best schnitzel in ages and the cheese soup was a delight. There is also a very friendly host. A clear recommendation.

Great restaurant in Traben Trarbach in combination with the Immich Anker winery. Very nice service and great food. We felt very comfortable. Come again.

A nice place to enjoy and linger. We were treated to amazing food and wine! Thank you very much for the nice hospitality!!

Absolute recommendation. The food and service were very good. We had a great evening, We sat outside, opposite the Moselle, and had a wonderful evening. We came on foot. But there are enough parking spaces available.

Österrikisk restaurang. Mycket bra! Åt en fantastisk gulaschs och en schnitzel! Startade med en sallad! Allting topp, servicen var även den perfekt! Rekommenderar ett besök!

Nice restaurant with friendly staff in a great location. Only separated from the Moselle by a little busy street, which doesn't bother you

Very nice location, good food and nice staff.

This was our second time at Litzinger Lay and we had an excellent meal each time. This time we had dumpling trio and Wiener Schnitzel - a dream - and a delicious Grüner Veltliner. We'll definitely be back!

Went there for dinner with a group. All very tasty. We'd love to come back.

An excellent restaurant that made it possible for 23 of us to have lunch outside at short notice. The food is excellent and the friendliness of the service is simply great. It's very nice to sit directly on the Moselle. The street in front is a dead end, so there is little traffic.

Absolutely perfect! They were so friendly and sweet. The environment is calm, quiet, by the lakeside. Perfect to just stroll in, have a meal, and stroll along further. Great food, I absolutely loved it. I highly recommend the käsespatzle (vegetarian). We went in at noon so they normally don't have kaiserschmarren (only in evening) but when my sister asked if she could get it, the waiter at first kindly explained it's an evening menu item. After that, he apparently went to ask the chef anyway, and then the chef went out of his way to make it for her after all!! They're absolutely so kind and great people, and the food is just so good. Best käseknöpfle I've ever had, and the wienerschnitzel is exactly as a traditional one should be. Crispy, airy, and moist. I couldn't finish my whole portion, and they packed it to go for me (even the apple sauce!). Honestly, I'm in love ❤️ Cannot stress this enough, perfect. Would give 10 stars if I could. 100/10 I highly recommend.

After two years of repeatedly missing out on coming here, I was a guest here last weekend and my anticipation was absolutely confirmed. We were there at lunchtime and had free choice of seating in the low season. For dinner we had the Viennese classic, i.e. schnitzel with a large salad and, in summer temperatures, a wine spritzer. The owner served us in an absolutely exemplary manner and we really felt very comfortable. Unfortunately we couldn't leave a tip with a card, so please take some change with you for the good service if you're here.

Very tasty food Friendly conditions Beautiful ambience We'd love to come back :)

There may have been a surprise. We have been coming past the restaurant on our rowing tours for several years now. What the new tenants offer with their Austrian flair is convincing and is definitely recommended.

Super delicious food, very nice, good service and a beautiful location right on the Moselle! Big portion. Here you get something for your money. Also very tasty and fresh. We found the option to reserve online practical. Happy to come back =)

Deliciously eaten a real Wiener schnitzel of veal like in the old days. Well prepared and on your complete plate. Fries are served alongside. I had the large version for 28 euros (small 25 euros) but price - quality is perfectly fine. Very nice service. Drinks normal price. Highly recommended. I made a reservation via Google. Reservations are recommended due to crowds.

It wasn't our first time there, as always it was delicious. Staff is very nice and friendly. We will come again too.

A pearl among restaurants is what hospitality and quality should look like. The food can simply be described as mega. The service is attentive and friendly and you feel welcome. My tip is to just put the Kaspress dumplings in the ox broth. The prices are perfectly fine. Simply recommended and we will definitely come back.

The best service ever. 6 stars if possible

The ratings are far above the actual level of the food. We expected much better food, a shame, it wasn't fine Austrian cuisine. But the service was very nice. We're still puzzling today about what kind of breading that was. Never seen before. In any case, it wasn't the typical schnitzel breading that you would like.

I can't add anything new, everything has already been written here. Simply great food, very nice staff and great ambience. And right on the banks of the Moselle. Just great 👍

Great food, very nice and quick service and a pleasant atmosphere. Everything is just right here 👌

For us the best Wiener Schnitzel outside of Vienna. Extremely attentive and nice service. We'll definitely be back!

Sehr leckeres Essen, egal was man bestellt. Manchmal etwas zu viel, aber einpacken und mitnehmen ist gerne gesehen. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Immer wieder und gerne. Vorab reservieren!

Das Interieur gestaltet sich etwas nüchtern, durch die volle Belegung war es auch laut und schwierig, sich mit 5 Leuten am Tisch zu verständigen. Die Speisen waren gut, wobei das Wiener Schnitzel eher frittiert als in der Pfanne gebraten wirkte. Dem Kaiserschmarrn schienen ein paar Eier zu fehlen, er schmeckte etwas mehlig. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist OK.

Great food, good portions at a fair price. Nice personel. Highly Recommended

Litziger Lay har specialiseret sig i det østrigske køkken. Vi valgte en klassisk wienerschnitzel med tranebær syltetøj. Man kunne vælge mellem pommes frites, varm kartoffelsalat eller en blandet salat som tilbehør. Schnitzlen var tynd, havde en pæn størrelse og var udmærket, men jeg manglede det traditionelle syrligt-salte tilbehør (citron, kapers, sardin). Fritterne var lidt kedelige og manglede salt. Vinkortet bød for forskellige vine til rimelige priser, men desværre heller ikke så spændende. Vi valgte en lokal spätburgunder fra Mosel, som nok var rimelig prissat, men også var lidt tynd i det. Den klassiske apfelstrudel kun netop godkendt og var så pokkers spændende. Betjeningen var venlig og uformel. Oplevelsen var lidt skuffende denne aften.

Friendly staff and delicious food

Great place and perfect service. It gives you the feeling of being in Austria for a while.

Really great restaurant and nice service! Reserve if possible. We only got a place by chance! By the way, the nice waiter from Hamburg does a fantastic job!

Great Wiener Schnitzel eaten there. A day that was worth it. Keep it up !! 🤤🤤🫠

Everything perfect! There's really nothing more to say 👍👍👍

A restaurant where a single waiter has to rock everything, only serving the food is partly done by the kitchen team. This also means that there can be longer waiting times. The taste of the food was ok, but I would have liked a little more kick. The Wiener Schnitzel seemed big, but in the end there wasn't really any meat in the breading. The side salad was pretty mushy, but the Kaiserschmarrn was great. The button dishes were also tasty, but nothing special. It's nice that you can choose between two portion sizes. I expected more from the restaurant.

Fantastic !! Highly recommended for local Austrian food in Germany

Beautiful and charming location. The food was not for me, but I am sure others like it.

We were there for our birthday, food was very good, we can recommend it, service was very good,

We were there early for lunch. No problem getting a place without a reservation. Performance was good. Food too. However, I think 24.00 euros is too expensive for a Wiener Schnitzel.

We recommend. Super delicious food. Would love to come back.

Top. Very nicely located. Good service. Delicious food. Nice music in the background. Good bye

The food was excellent, the service was friendly and always attentive. A great restaurant, the table was nicely decorated for my birthday and at the end there was a schnapps on the house. Clear recommendation, but reserve in advance!!!

Ohne Reservierung trotzdem für 4 Leute (2 Paare) einen Tisch draußen bekommen. Super netter Kellern (Lokalbesitzer?!). Sehr aufmerksam und jeder Wunsch wurde erfüllt (Gerichte abgeändert usw.) Würden wir immer wieder besuchen. :-)

Very good service. Fast service. Delicious food. You can reserve online, it works great. Happy to come back :)

Everything is just right here...the location, the food, the drinks, the prices and the friendliness of the staff! The next time we visit Traben-Trarbach, we don't need to book another restaurant - we have already found our favorite restaurant!

We just had a drink and sat outside on the banks of the Moselle.

Had a very tasty meal today. Service top. Pleasant atmosphere. In summer you can sit outside with a view of the Moselle. We say thank you and would like to come back.

Very nice restaurant with Austrian specialties. Highly recommended is the Wiener Schnitzel and for vegetarians the Käsespätzle or the dumpling variations on creamed savoy cabbage. Everything tasted very good and the "normal portions" are really filling. The staff was very friendly. But you should definitely reserve a table.

Always happy - very good quality and nice service

Four of us were there today and will definitely go there more often. Top! just something a little different, top service, very fair prices. see you soon

Very good food at good prices 👍

Very good food and friendly service. Great restaurant.

Die Speisen waren sehr lecker, ganz besonders die Schnitzel und der Backhendl-Streifen-Salat. Der Service ist kompetent, zuverlässig und freundlich. Es bleiben keine Wünsche offen. Vielen Dank!

The restaurant is “not looking for noodle soups” as they say in Vienna. A dream! Everything is just right here! From the original Wiener Schnitzel to Kaiserschmarrn! Thanks and all the best!

Fantastic food, attentive non-intrusive service. It definitely deserves more than 5 stars.

Sensational Austrian restaurant. Beautifully small, cozy with half-timbered interior. Great tasting, large portions, but most dishes can be ordered in 2 or even 3 portion sizes. Sweet poppy seed noodles and Kaiserschmarrn are simply heavenly. Thanks to the entire team. You can We can easily keep up with the original Austrian cuisine in Vienna. We'll be back 1000%. And we've done it again. On December 23rd we were at the Litzinger Lay for the second time. This time without a big crowd, so the service was even more relaxed , Extra requests were fulfilled very happily and promptly. All the dishes were sensationally good this time too, we will probably feast our way through the entire menu over time. Big praise for the kitchen and service again today. Please stay with us for a long time.
