Tuchlauben 4/6, 1010 Vienna
See, be seen and enjoy some formidable Italian food – since it opened in 2002, there has hardly ever been an empty seat at prime time. Food with character is served. Excellent service.
Fuhrmannsgasse 9, 1080 Vienna
Head chef Mike Feierabend has settled in well. The finest produce, from sole to sturgeon to pheasant in creative presentations, accompanied by exquisite wines from the magnificent collection of patron Hermann Botolen.
Kandlgasse 12/2, 1070 Vienna
The atmosphere, wines and service are all top-notch, and the wonderfully creative cuisine conjures up faux gras that will win over any carnivore. The best regional produce is a must anyway.
Severingerstraße 49, 1190 Vienna
Albertinaplatz 1, 1010 Vienna
All day there is the Demel repertoire, steak, burger and schnitzel. For lunch and dinner, pasta, grilled dishes and a few DO & CO classics from the Haas House are served. Great breakfast.
Stubenring 5, 1010 Vienna
It's nice that the culinary delights at the art museum are also impressive. An impressive restaurant with international cuisine; the bouillabaisse with caviar rouille is a highlight. Absolutely instagrammable!
Westbahnstraße 43, 1070 Vienna
In the middle of the city and yet as if in the country, when the oleander is in bloom and vines twine across the courtyard. Fried liver sausage wreath with cabbage, rösti, mustard and horseradish - this is what Viennese cuisine tastes like.
Döblinger Haupstraße 76, 1190 Vienna
Simon Steindl has already cooked for numerous greats, and now he serves creative international cuisine such as crispy leg of chicken with bouchot mussels and fregola sarda in the colorful restaurant with its dream garden.
Pfarrplatz 5, 1190 Vienna
The Spoerri painting in the entrance area sets the pace. Here, the walls breathe history, while Viennese and international visitors feast on schnitzel and boiled beef. Fantastic veranda!
Breite Gasse 4, 1070 Vienna
The standard menu features the all-time favorites of Viennese cuisine, with seasonal dishes such as pierogi with curd cheese and potato filling. Top: the idyllic garden.
