I was told that this is the most expansive restaurant in town.The fishes are fresh,caught from the lake ,smoked/ grilled.Looking at the menu these are sold on a per 100 gram basis for around Eur 40 if i am not mistaken.As i am from island country with abundance of seafood,fresh water fish is definitedly not my cup of tea..Hence,I did not want to spend on something that is not to my palate ,never mind how famous this restaurant is!The waiters are dressed in old bavarian style with a dark leather apron.apron.

The Hirlatz has a restaurant on the ground floor which serves traditional Austrian dishes. The wonderful thing about it is that the owner personally cooks some of the items on the menu, namely the wild game caught from the forest nearby, also by the owner. That evening, I had wild game and fish from the lake. It is simply fresh and wonderful. What makes it great is that the dishes feel like homecooked comfort food
The breakfast at Gasthof Hirlatz is also very good. It has just about everything on the Austrian breakfast menu & more. Cold meats, eggs in any style, choice of breads, yoghurts, fruits, all sorts of tea, coffee & juices. Sometimes I just overeat when I try to sample everything

The fare found here is standard bavarian. But that's the way we like it!
For 10 Euros you can have the special and it consists of a huge salad, main course and a desert. we ate there several times and found it was the best deal and the food was very high quality. We ate at the Braugasthof as well and was pleased with there as well. Although it cost considerably more.
Favorite Dish: WeinerSchnitzel of course! We had the fish as well.

Q: During May/June, is it best to visit morning or afternoon ,to have sunlight on the village?

A: If I recall correctly, Hallstadt is on the west side of the lake, so morning light is what you are after.
