Even after many years of professional experience top chef Mario Lohninger enjoys his work each and every day and is passionate about his profession. He also wants to inspire young people about becoming chefs:

“For me, chef is the best job in the world, and most of all one with a future: people becoming more and more knowledgeable about quality and wanting to eat well is a trend that is here to stay. The best thing about my job is that I can work anywhere in the world, since especially well-trained German chefs are much sought-after. Ideal for people with a heavy case of wanderlust!

I want to pass on my numerous international experiences and passion for gastronomy and am always looking for fresh talents who feel as deeply about ingenious and varied cooking as I do. At restaurant Lohninger we are not much influenced by current trends, but rather like to set them ourselves! Our signature combination of classic Austrian cuisine and Asian and New York influences is legendary, with it we not only lay the foundation for an exciting menu, but also for a varied work routine. It is especially important for me to support my employees in finding their own style and always keep working on themselves. Contrary to large kitchens, in our family business young chefs get the chance to see all our profession’s facets, to play around with awesome products and gain important experience. I am proud to say that all chefs who have worked at Lohninger have left as better chefs and scored jobs in well-known top restaurants. I learned from the best and I enjoy sharing my experience with my team.”
