Kuchltheater Bad Ischl

Nice little cafe with a nice outdoor area

Awesome food, amazing service in a gorgeous part of Bad Ichl. Highly recommend! ( ꈍᴗꈍ)

Small and nice restaurant with great atmosphere, very good location, delicious homemade pastas and salads, smiling and courteous service.

Everything was freshly made and tasted good. The location outside is really nice.

bad service. we were just ignored by the waiters and all stuff were just rude.

Great place with kind people and quality food. During lunch time it could be hard to catch a table since it's quite petite.

You can definitely taste the love and care the Baumgartners put in each plate they cook. The food at Kuchltheater is amazing and is a must-do if you find yourself in Bad Ischl!

The famous tourist trap! Lovely terrace, nice atmosphere, friendly waitress. But, the overall service + products versus the price they ask is an outrageous shame for itself. First the good news: The soup we (4 persons) ordered tasted good. The drinks tasted fine (though not homemade, but okay. Stated by the waitress, btw). Now for the bad news: - Two of us ordered an Ice Coffee. We saw local people got a small glass with ice cubes and coffee. We got two big Ice Coffees with ice and cream for € 9,50 per glass without asking. (And hey we speak very well German, and understand local dialects). - We asked for 2 Lemonades with water. Not pure. So they charged an extra €0,50 for a small tap water per person. (See the bill attached) - The onionsoup was served in what felt like half a portion: 85-95ml MAX in a big bowl. For € 5,00? Hm okay........ - But now the biggest climax of the list........NO BREAD was served with it. (I mean, one would expect at least one slice of bread, wouldn’t he?) We asked the waitress “do you serve a slice of bread with our soup?” “Sure, we have different sorts”. We decided to take the baguette. We finished our soups and drinks and asked for the bill. The lovely waitress *did not* mention -nor was it stated on the menu- we had to pay € 1,50 per person EXTRA for 2 small slices of baguette. Ha ha ha ha......This is like one big joke isn’t it? (see the bill attached) So we spoke to the owner and filed a complaint. He had a *great* and *big* story to clarify his outrageous service level. Summarized: “Our bread are ‘special products’, with ‘special biological ingredients’” and another broad range of bull sh*t weak and lame arguments. I mean: come on. Your bill even mentions “4 bio baguettes”. But we got 2 slices of 5 mm x 4cm per person! I wish we got 4 WHOLE baguetts! ? Anyway, Dear owner, you should feel ashamed of yourself. I am not your avarage tourist of whom you can make big money. I work on a top level in the gastronomic business world and I have never ever experienced something utterly absurd as this. Even in my 4* sleepover hotel in Germany or my 5* vacation address in Salzburg my salads or soups are served with a nice basket of bread. (Free of charge with a free refill! And if you have studied gastronomic studies you know you cannot make a pure profit of goodwill from your guests by overcharging them 1. The highest price for an ice coffee though two versions are available; 2. Charging extra tap water when a “Schoarle” is made WITH water; 3. Ask a high price for a small soup without bread; 4. When asked for bread mention it is not inclusive!; 5. When we file a complaint give your guest the benefit of the doubt and do not ever argue with them. I will stop giving you free advice. I mean this from the top of my heart tot the bottom of your soul: I hope and wish you all the best for now and the nearby future. But I will avoid this place. For now, for the next season and for any future considerations
