Once a week he gets all the ingredients he needs to make
his wonderful creations. From dough to topping –
everything is handmade.
L.S. Francesco has been working with us for almost ten
years and he is a true perfectionist. Which means if a pizza
isn’t exactly the way it’s supposed to be it won’t leave the
kitchen. Now, in the summer we are happy to have time to
experiment and try out new things – like sourdough pizza,
for example. So far, however, we are not ready for a decision.
What’s so special about our pizza is that we make sure all
the details are right – from the ingredients to the local wood
used for fuelling the oven to the right temperature. It’s those
little things you don’t see from the outside that really make
a big difference.
WORDRAP
L.L. Aside from the pizza you also
serve snails from Vienna in the form
of special culinary creations. Snails are
usually associated with France or the
movie Pretty Woman. What makes them
so special and what dish is a must-try
at Schneggarei?
A.S. The Viennese snails we serve are
harvested fresh every day. They don’t
come in a can or frozen and all the other
ingredients are fresh, too. The burger is
an absolute must-try. One of the classics
on our menu. And so is our tatar –
a delightful treat!
L.S. For me it’s actually the cordon
bleu. A proper feelgood dish. Our ambitions to make our
guests happy, however, also include vegan and vegetarian
salad creations. And you should definitely try our specials
by Martin Brandstätter. He comes up with new things every
week. Right now, for instance, we have a shrimp Masala
with pizza bread with olives and rosemary made by
Francesco as well as a whole trout with parsley potatoes,
capers, and tomato butter.
For me, snails are …
A.S. / a tasty treat.
L.S. / a classic at Schneggarei.
My favourite spot in Lech:
A.S. / Schneggarei.
L.S. / Wherever you can see Omeshorn.
Schneggarei and Lech belong like ...
A.S. / garlic on snails.
L.S. / two pieces of a puzzle.
In my private life I like being …
A.S. / with my family or off to travel.
L.S. / with friends and family.
