Sustainability
We see it as our social obligation, also towards future generations, to use the resources available to us carefully and consciously. Our company vision "Hospitality - noticably - sustainable" is also based on this principle.
100% organic enjoyment
with responsibility
Since 2001, the Kolarik family has been taking steps towards sustainability and a greater sense of ecological and social responsibility. Therefore, especially the conversion to 100% organic was a personal concern.
Since 2019, all dishes are served exclusively in organic quality and with the reopening in 2021 also the drinks. Thus the restaurant Luftburg - Kolarik im Prater isthe largest organic restaurant in the world!
