From a train station restaurant to the best restaurants on lake Wörthersee
Richard Hessl learned his craft from scratch. In St. Valentin in Upper Austria, he completed his culinary training in the train station restaurant. From here, he went straight to the master class of cooking. He is inspired by greats such as Eckart Witzigmann and Christian Petz.
He has worked at palaces, hotels, and resorts as well as on a cruise ship in Asia and the Edelbeisl Nowak in Vienna. Here, he received 14 Gault Millau points, which represents the highest score for a newcomer. Since 2006, he has called the Seefels home.
