Wirtshaus Menu
Servus and Griss enk at King Ludwig’s. My name is Adi Schützeneder and since July 2024 I am the very proud Wirt (Wirt is the host and operator) here at King Ludwig’s. Hailing from Austria the team and I have added a few dishes without losing the essential King Ludwig’s classics of course, rest assured we won’t disappoint you.
A classic Wiener Schnitzel has made it onto the menu and we extend the opening hours so you don’t feel left “stranded” and with an empty tummy on the ridge after 2:30pm. Our kitchen doesn’t close anymore in the afternoon. From Thursday – Monday we’ll serve the full menu from 11:30am until close – no afternoon break. However, Sunday we only operate at lunch time. Reservations recommended.
You had me at Pork Knuckle…
Please pre-order our famous 4-hour slow-cooked Pork Knuckle when making your booking so you don’t miss out. Please note: We changed our processes and have those Knuckles available now (almost) any day we are open (unless sold out). Being Austrian, I want the knuckles “swimming” in a salt brine with secret herbs and spices for at least 24 hours prior being cooked.
I am a Dip WSET with a WSET level 4 diploma and as such I am EXTREMLY proud of our new Wine and Cocktail list which will balance the currently “beer heavy” beverage offerings. 20+ wines by the glass to introduce you to something new perhaps or enjoy a good old NZ Savy. You’ll find bottles of wine from $42 until $3250.00 for our 1947 Château Lafite-Rothschild.
A few NEW HOUSEKEEPING rules to ensure EVERYONE has a great time with us:
KIDS: Your children are welcome at anytime of course, however, we all do appreciate well behaved kids who don’t disturb other diners. Please don’t let them run around, they have to wear shoes at all times and don’t forget, our Kids menu includes ice cream too. If you let them watch their devices please use head sets and/or mute the devise as most of us are past and over Peppa Pig, Bluey etc. 😉 – thank you. AND, we’d appreciate if you’d pick up the majority of food and rubbish your kid dropped on the floor, thank you very much.
DOGS: We can ONLY offer the outdoor tables in the garden for dog owners no matter how small, how old or how well behaved your pet is. You might have to share those garden tables as council does not allow dogs inside the restaurant. The balconies are considered a part of the restaurant dining area too and can only be accessed through the main restaurant of which the dog would have to cross through. Even if you offer to “carry” the dog through the restaurant, it is still not allowed to have a dog on the balcony, sorry. Those are not our rules!
BYO CAKES: Sorry, NO BYO cakes under my management due to food safety concerns. There is a 100% certainty that we’ll get the blame if you fall sick after you cream cake has been sitting in the hot car from the Gold Coast to us. It is still a NO even if you want to cut the cake yourself, bring your own forks and napkins… sorry, no, we can’t accommodate BYO cakes. ONLY food produced in our kitchen, in our temperature controlled environment can be consumed at King Ludwig’s.
Come on in, join us for a late lunch or early dinner or simply enjoy a drink while soaking up the breathtaking views.
We look forward to introducing you to classic Austrian & Bavarian Gastfreundschaft in our Wirtshaus.
Servas und pfiat enk,
Adi and the KL team
