history
of the Schusterhäusl in Flachau.
You want to know how the 400-year-old cottage developed from a cobbler to a rustic steakhouse?
Once upon a time
400 years ago, the shoemaker of Flachau built his own wooden house on the outskirts of the village, conveniently located on the way to the mine. Stone was not an option, that could afford only large farmers. But the shoemaker's new house had everything he needed, because home offices were quite normal for the craftsmen of the time. They lived upstairs and worked on the ground floor. The first or last name of the cobbler of those days has long been forgotten, but his neat cobbler's house still exists today. And a lot has changed here. The small accommodation and workplace of the past has now become a fine steakhouse. Guests come in and out. Now they are the ones who pass on the name Schusterhäusl. They tell their stories of an evening spent in the old house with its uneven, creaking floors and their culinary experiences.
old & new
Preserving the little wooden house in the middle of the village center is a high priority to us. We maintain and renovate it gently, all modern additions and conversions respect the old building fabric and consciously stand out from the old stock.
craft
The love of craftsmanship is omnipresent in the Schusterhäusl, even if today it is the highest premise that steaks are cooked to perfection & not shoe soles, end up on the plates of the guests.
relaxed
We have retained the joke and down-to-earth attitude of our predecessors - because although the Schusterhäusl is a culinary address for the finest, we take an uncomplicated approach. We are on a first-name basis with our guests, a team that feels like a family. In the Schusterhäusl you enjoy style, but "not spread".
unique, absolutely delicios and not spread!
