What makes Gasthaus Jana different?
Gasthaus Jana has cooked the same honest food for years: Austrian inn classics alongside Bohemian dishes of the kind served on both sides of the river March for generations. Everything is cooked fresh and the portions are generous.
The village sits in a border triangle. From Dürnkrut it is a few minutes to Slovakia and less than half an hour to the Czech Republic, so German and Czech are both spoken here as a matter of course.
Which dishes do guests order most often?
The most frequently ordered dishes at Gasthaus Jana are the Wiener schnitzel of pork with a mixed salad platter, the pork cutlet Lundenburg style and the wedding-style beef roast with bread dumplings and cranberries. Every Wednesday there is also a schnitzel menu.
Is there a lunch menu?
Yes. The Gasthaus Jana lunch menu is served on all four opening days – Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday – from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and changes daily. This week's dishes are listed on the Lunch menu page. Pre-orders are taken by phone.
Who is Gasthaus Jana for?
- Lunch guests from Dürnkrut and the neighbouring villages looking for a hot meal at a fair price

- Overnight guests who need a simple, quiet room
Inn, pub, restaurant or café?
People look for the house under all of those names, and none of them is wrong. Gasthaus Jana is a classic Austrian country inn with restaurant service: hot food is cooked at lunchtime, everything is served at the table, and anyone dropping in just for a coffee is as welcome as a table ordering schnitzel. The Austrian word Gasthof describes a house that also lets rooms — which applies here too.
In short: a restaurant at lunchtime, a pub in the afternoon, a café for coffee in between and an inn for anyone staying the night — all under one roof at Hauptstraße 58 in Dürnkrut.
