Welcome

to Das Bootshaus on the Old Danube!

Oars or skulls? “Ruderbrot” or “Achterl”? You can’t go wrong at Das Bootshaus. Where rowing meets gastronomy, the Old Danube inspires new ideas and a destination becomes a joyous experience. But why rowing? Rowing plays a special role in our family. After all, two of our sons are competitive rowers. Both are recipients of the U23 World Cup gold and collective bronze medals, amongst other awards and victories. Das Bootshaus on the Old Danube offers us the unique opportunity to combine two great passions: rowing and hosting.

Uncompromising quality and incomparable ambience in Vienna - that's what we stand for. Fish & Chips, Calamari Fritti and the best sundowners on the Old Danube invite you to "dock". Whether seated at a table for 2, 4 or 8 guests – the holiday feeling begins to set in, especially when you are presented with our favourite colour palette, provided by the sunset!

See you soon at Das Bootshaus on the Old Danube!

so cheesy!

Simply irresistible: cheese fondue returns to the Bootshaus on the Alte Donau! Our house blend of hearty Alpine cheese, delicate Emmentaler and aromatic Gruyère, classically refined with nutmeg and white wine, delights with its perfect consistency and smooth, velvety melt.

 

Served with oven-fresh baguette, rosé-grilled beef tagliata and marinated vegetables, our fondue offers a truly unique taste experience. The perfect accompaniment: freshly shaved winter truffle, Italian truffle salami, and of course a sparkling glass of Laurent-Perrier champagne.

 

Reserve your table now in one of our enchanting glass houses or at the Bootshaus.

We look forward to welcoming you!
