"Von Sushi, Sashimi über diverse asiatische Gerichte bis zum Rohzutatenbuffet für Wok und Teppanyaki-Grill gibt es hier so zeimlich alles, was das Herz begehrt. Einzig bei den Saucen neigen die Köche ein wenig zum Sparen, darum gibt es einen halben Punkt Abzug. Einen weiteren halben Punkt Abzug gibt es, weil das Servicepersonal manchmal mehr INteresse hat sich untereinander zu unterhalten, als bei den Gästen nachzufragen, ob noch Getränke gebraucht werden.Dafür hat das Buffet aber auch seltenere und erlesenere Zutaten, wie z.B. Hirsch, Känguruh, Krabben, ... (je nach Verfügbarkeit)"

Fellini Steak Grill House

"This place has to be distinguished from the restaurant of the same name at the shopping mall in the center of Leoben. However, the two are affiliated. Actually, the “Fellini” at issue is situated at the periphery next to a large crossroads and represents primarily a delivery restaurant. In spite of that, its building, which resembles a pavilion, also harbors two small dining rooms for smokers and nonsmokers, respectively. Either of them comprises only four tables. They looked quite decently and had been tastefully decorated for Christmas. Unfortunately, they are poorly separated and therefore the smell from the smokers’ area also spread in the nonsmokers’ area.The waiter was exceptionally friendly and provided a speedy service. The permanent menu included not just pizza, pasta and risottos as one might expect, but also fish and a choice of dishes of the Austrian cuisine that went beyond the usual classics such as “Schnitzel”. It was complemented by a menu of the day written on a chalkboard at the entrance.The pizza I had chosen was served after only a moderate waiting time. It was crispy and good. Its most striking feature was its enormous size, which definitely exceeded the quantity a single person is supposed to eat at lunch. Seeing that and its reasonable price, value for money was great."

"Ich war relativ gleich nach der Eröffnung, mir hat es sehr gut geschmeckt, Atmosphäre war toll, Bedienung freundlich.Dann war ich einen Monat später noch einmal, diesmal zu mittag. Es war voll, aber die Bedienung hat es alles gut geregelt. Das Essen hat mir nicht mehr so gut geschmeckt.Noch einen Monat drauf war ich wieder, da war ich schon ziemlich enttäuscht. Bei der Hauptspeise waren keine frischen Champignons drin, und der Schinken war in meinen Augen und auf meiner Zunge keiner, sondern irgendein Pressfleisch. Das hat mich schon sehr enttäuscht, weil am Anfang mir das Essen gut gefallen hat."

"I came here with a few colleagues tonight, having been recommended to us. The service was friendly, attentive and fast, and the restaurant was clean, the decor was very traditional. Contrary to other reviews menus are available in English.I had the potato soup with mushrooms to start which was the best soup I've had in a long time, followed by turkey schnitzel which was absolutely delicious and massive- putting shame to what we call a schnitzel in England!This along with 2 beers came to €22 which I thought was excellent value.This is definitely a great choice in Leoben, and situated right in the main square."

"The restaurant of hotel “Brücklwirt” is also fairly popular as an eating-place. It comprises several rustic, cozy dining rooms and a couple of more classically decorated, but somewhat antiquated dining halls. The elegant permanent menu reveals that this place strives to be a classy restaurant. With respect to creativity of the dishes on offer, this aim is definitely achieved since the choice goes far beyond the classics of the Austrian cuisine. However, at least some of the dishes seem a little overprized. From Monday to Friday, there are also two menus of the day, the prices of which are all right for a restaurant of this standing.Since we had lunch there as a group of about a dozen, we had a cross section of dishes from the menus of the day as well as of dishes à la carte. For the most part, the food was fine though in general rather greasy. However, some incomprehensible choices by the chef spoilt the picture a bit. For instance, a sweet pepper soup would have been perfectly all right if it had been served without a full load of little pieces of ordinary bread on top. In contrast to croutons, they had not been toasted and did not fit into that kind of soup. A nice vegetable lasagna was spoilt by a large quantity of a superfluous stodge made up primarily of flour that was meant to be an herb sauce.The wait staff, on the other hand, provided an impeccable service and the waiting times, even for the dishes à la carte, were quite short."
