Baguettes, coq au vin, and a touch of savoir-vivre – French cuisine brings a certain art de vivre to Vienna.

One of the few classic restaurants in Vienna. Marcus Duchardt offers two French-inspired menus, from which you can also choose à la carte. Sometimes available: Lièvre à la royale.

Sonnenfelsgasse 17, 1010 Vienna, Austria

France is unfortunately a long way away. Denis König is one of the pioneers who brought French cuisine to Vienna. People come for Plateau de Crustacés, Grenoble-style skate or Île flottante.

Marc-Aurel-Straße 6, 1010 Vienna, Austria

Charming bistro-style restaurant in the embassy district. Product-oriented dishes, clearly and precisely presented on the plate. Multi-course tasting menus, exclusively French wines.

Reisnerstraße 39, 1030 Vienna, Austria

Paul Schödl translates the advantages of French bistro cuisine with local ingredients into refined, minimalist dishes such as: Golden trout/celery/hazelnut. A good glass of wine is a must here.

Traunfelsgasse 1, 1200 Vienna, Austria

Bar and brasserie near the opera founded in 2024. There are French dishes such as vichyssoise, joue de bœuf and tarte tatin, plus a little something from Italy and Asia. The funny dishes from the start-up phase are gone.

Opernring 11, 1010 Vienna, Austria
