History
It is no wonder that an early reservation is recommended on weekends. The Hubinger is not only frequented by the local population for all kinds of festivities, but also delights visitors from afar with delicious dishes. The vegetarian menu is always highly recommended. For decades, Hans Wöls has mastered the art of delighting diners without meat like hardly anyone else, for example with radish mousse (paired with the trout variation) or a harmonious and subtly restrained cauliflower and vegetable curry. Yet the game – sometimes shot by the host himself – also turns out exceptionally well. The service, led by Paula Wöls who also expertly recommends matching wines, is always sharp and attentive. And fortunately, the younger generation is also showing culinary ambitions.
