20 years. 20 special moments.

20 years of Mesnerhaus
Twenty years. Two hosts. One shared dream.
In 2007, a new chapter began for Maria and Josef Steffner at the Mesnerhaus. A shared idea became a restaurant with a signature of its own. A historic house became their home as hosts. And many individual evenings became twenty years filled with encounters, enjoyment, and memories.
In 2027, therefore, we do not wish merely to look back. We wish to celebrate.

What began twenty years ago.
Maria in the restaurant and with the wine. Josef in the kitchen. Between them, a house from 1420, a shared understanding of hospitality, and quite a lot of work.
Twenty years later, much has grown: the restaurant, the kitchen, the wine cellar, and the Boutique hotel. Above all, however, the number of people who return to Mauterndorf time and again.
02 · Maria & Josef
Together since 2007
Two people. Two roles. One Mesnerhaus.

MARIA
Hostess. Sommelier. The heart of the house.
Maria oversees the restaurant, the wine, and the hotel—with knowledge, attentiveness, and a hospitality that does not need to push itself to the foreground to be remembered.

JOSEF
Chef. Product thinker. Lungau native.
Josef brings Lungau to the plate without dressing it up: regional, precise, distinctive, and with respect for the product. His cuisine has grown over two decades—without losing its origins.
The Mesnerhaus works not in spite of these different roles, but precisely because of them.

04 · Anniversary year 2027
20 years. 20 special moments.
A birthday would not have been enough for us.
That is why 2027 will be celebrated for an entire year—with friends, companions along the way, chefs, winemakers, artists, and people who enrich the Mesnerhaus in their very own way.
Sometimes there will be cooking. Sometimes performances. Sometimes looking back. And sometimes everything happens at once.

To twenty years. And to everything still to come.

07 · Thank you
2007–2027–…
Thank you for twenty years.
For every set table and every empty glass. For criticism and compliments. For people who came once and have been coming back ever since. For staff, producers, friends, and companions along the way.
Twenty years are a good reason to look back. But an even better reason to continue.

Twenty years.
Countless memories.
And we are far from finished.
Anniversary year 2027
Celebrate with us.
