LATE Gastronomie GmbH

Haben das Kloster UND sowohl als Restaurant als auch als Location für unser Hochzeitsessen kennen und schätzen gelernt. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich und kompetent, die Küche erstklassig und das Lokal selbst toll gestaltet. Das gilt sowohl für das Restaurant samt dem schönen Innenhof, vor allem aber für das grandiose Kirchenschiff, das für unsere Feier mit etwas über 50 Gästen zwar fast einen Tick zu groß war, durch das Team aber perfekt arrangiert wurde. Überhaupt möchten wir die Mannschaft noch einmal ganz besonders hervorheben. Egal ob vor, während oder nach der Feier haben insbesondere Manuel, Petar, Gregor, Frau Wenda, Frau Geigenberger und natürlich Küchenchef Charlie jeden einzelnen Abend dort immer zu einem besonderen Erlebnis gemacht. Vielen herzlichen Dank nochmal an alle, dass ihr unsere Hochzeitsfeier so unvergesslich gemacht habt!

Sehr schönes Lokal in Herzen von Krems. Beef Tatar ist sehr gut und mit Weinen kennt man sich aus. An der Bar gilt die kleine Speisekarte.

Perfekte Kombiniation des historischen Ambiente mit moderner Architektur. Tolle 2 Hauben Küche im Restaurant LATÈ im Kloster UND, gutes Preis Leistungs Verhältnis, exzellentes Service. Komme sicher bald wieder :

All in all we can recommend, although the service was, in our view, a bit too "upper classy". Not that we don't like upper class, but somewhat it didn't match the place and the region. Hardly any smile or personal words. Just the ordering, delivering and paying. Well - apart from that, it was great. Location is simply astonishing, somewhat an old church or monastery. Food is stylish, modern, contemporary and delicious.

Situated in a somewhat unlikely location in an area of town that seems to be office buildings or similar with no other bars or restaurants nearby, we were initially struggling to find it as the restaurant name (Late) is only printed in very small letters adjacent to the door. Most of the signage says Und for some reason and so we didn’t realise initially this was the correct venue. Internally it consists of a dining room, function room and courtyard. We were shown to the courtyard which was largely filled with noisy guests from a wedding party, including the groom who was walking along blindfolded with a book balanced on top his head. An Austrian tradition perhaps? Fortunately they soon cleared off to the function room, and the courtyard was a pleasant and peaceful setting to enjoy our meal. Service was efficient and friendly and they all spoke good English, as well as providing an English menu. The menu consists largely of three different set menus although there were also a few a la carte options. I couldn’t quite work this out, the a la carte options still seemed to be a set price depending on how many dishes you chose (up to 10!). We went for the more expensive set menu, simply because that appealed to us the most, and this consisted of eight courses, if you include the appetiser and petit fours. An amuse bouche was served in a bed of sand which was an unusual touch – not quite sure what it was, but clearly something edible! Bread was charged at an extra €4 which seems a bit mean going on the cost of the meal, but it was nonetheless still warm and beautifully soft with the three different varieties being served with a herb butter and a smoked meat pate of some sort. All of the courses were really very good indeed, I’d struggle to pick out any as a highlight as they were all so good. I wouldn’t normally choose Foie Gras on ethical grounds, but I have to say it was deliciously rich and creamy and the accompanying brioche was very good too. Other highlights were the soft boiled egg with bacon, the monkfish and a very tender beef fillet. A desert of strawberry mousse and lime mousse and chocolate was a great finish to the meal. The only let down was a latte which was served pretty much cold, lukewarm at best, and was charged extra despite the petit fours on the menu. I’ve never had petit fours without a coffee before. The wine list was extensive and included some very expensive bottles. The friendly waiter suggested a local Sauvignon Blanc which was apparently made within ten miles of the restaurant. This was a decent bottle and good value at €26. Overall, this was a quite exceptionally good meal. OK, at over €200 with the wine it should be pretty good, but if you fancy treating yourself I would highly recommend it.
