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
Restaurant Le Salzgries Paris

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
Mon Cher Restaurant

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
