100 points for this exceptional restaurant! The restaurant: beautiful and unusual, the culinary art of Executive Chef Martin Klein and his team even better, the guest chef principle unrivaled. Exceptional.

Carabinero. Jabugo. Escabeche. Juan Amador, who now also works as a painter, regularly lets his Spanish roots shine through. The ambience in the vaulted cellar is a little outdated.

Akami tuna from the Binchotan grill and other fine ideas form Patrick Müller's menu at Alps & Ocean. Rainer Müller also has wine ideas that are precise rather than pretentious. Grandiose wine list.

At Stüva, international impulses meet Parth's precise craftsmanship: a gourmet menu full of focused flavors, elegant depth and a cuisine that speaks with its own confident voice.

The kitchen and cellar are impressive! Great wine and champagne list, creative cuisine and a host who loves local food without dogma. Ingredients from a small radius, preferably from the "Donaugartl".

The culinary offering is a symphony of regional, authentic Austrian cuisine with international accents and a focus on the Salzkammergut region. The location and wine list are breathtaking.

A top address in the Vienna Woods: idyllic outside by the pond, romantic barn ambience inside. Excellent quality, especially in the game cuisine. A legend: the superbly stocked wine cellar.

The restaurant has been around for some time. Now it has been redefined as a high-end steakhouse with an exceptional wine selection - from good table wines to Pétrus, Cheval Blanc or Romanée-Conti.

The Mraz family has been proving for years that it is possible to create star cuisine in a relaxed yet precise manner. The surprise menu is cult. Just getting a table is difficult.

Mörwald stages gourmet cuisine as a sensual overall experience: delicately composed, aromatically deep and technically brilliant. Regionality serves as a stage - pure culinary elegance unfolds.

For years, it has been at the top when it comes to wine, and the food is in the same league. Head chef Michael Gubik stands for a creative, product-focused line of cuisine. Multi-course menus. Or simply perfect chili liver cheese.
