Unfortunately, it is so popular that it was already fully booked for dinner when we called in the day before. We had to try it - the famous Austrian style meal, so we popped up for lunch:<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05150_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />pictures on the wall showing the fearsome fire roaring in mt buller during last summer, and brave fire fighters who had been working hard for 55 days<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05314_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05148_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />old style clock<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05142_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />bells<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05312_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05308_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />menu - not much choices for lunch though<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05316_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />Bauernschmaus - best german/austrian sausages - simply love the red cabbage, so juuuuuiiicy!<br />aud25.50<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05317_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />Austrian caramelised pancake with plums & raisins<br />aud18<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05153_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />thai chicken & pork burger<br />aud22.50<br /><br /><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa49/lasilasi/2007_08_05318_resize.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" /></a><br />apple strudels<br />aud13<br /><br />rating: 4/5<br />Bauernschmaus is a must to try!
