Austria has a justifiable reputation for music, the arts and
literature, but also boasts a gourmet culture. Vienna’s dining scene
respects Austrian culinary traditions but also thrives on global
innovation. Being a vibrant & cosmopolitan metropolis, Vienna offers
every kind of food imaginable, in a wide variety of establishments,
from modern & café chic places to historically authentic &
traditional restaurants. Most of which are open very late, as many
people prefer to dine after opera or concert performances. This
section of the website highlights the best restaurants Vienna. We
only review the restaurants that our staff or our clients have
visited & recommended. So let us be your food guide to Vienna and
use our positive experiences to enhance your dining enjoyment whilst
on your Vienna break holiday.
A good place to start the restaurant reviews and suggestions is with
the local Viennese cuisine. If your short break Vienna holiday
requires fine dining to the highest possible standard, then we
suggest Le Ciel, which ‘Cuisine and Travel in Austria’ voted best
restaurant 2005. Since the opening of the Grand Hotel Wien the doors
of the restaurant ‘Le Ciel’ have been wide open for those who enjoy
culinary delights. This star in the sky of the Austrian culinary
heaven continues to rise and for the last 10 years they have
maintained the highest levels of quality. The restaurant is located
on the 7th floor, where the view over the city of Vienna is
spectacular. During the summer season meals are also served on our
rooftop terrace. Le Ciel is truly outstanding and we would be
delighted to organise table reservations during your holiday in
Vienna. At Steirereck dinners can enjoy both traditional & modern
Viennese dishes, prepared to the highest order. It has a Michelin
star and is known to be one of the most consistently top rated
restaurants in Vienna. The interior & food is beautiful, the
atmosphere is refined but not stuffy and the wine list is
impressively long. In fact, guests can inspect the large wine cellar
which holds over 35,000 bottles. One of the best restaurants in the
capital is Drei Husaren, which first opened in 1933. The food is
based around traditional Austrian dishes, mouth watering desserts
and many unique specialities. This is not somewhere to come if you
are on a budget break. Although expensive, you can definitely taste
the quality. The Drei Husaren is usually filled with people that
have been to the opera and want to complete their evening in an
elegant setting. For the complete luxury Vienna breaks, we highly
recommend Drei Husaren. Altwienerhof is one of the most traditional restaurants in Vienna, a
first class dining establishment for Austria short break clients.
The Altwienerhof is only a few minutes walk from Schönbrunn Palace
and serves good old traditional Viennese food. When Gourmets from
all over the world come to Vienna a stop at the Altwienerhof
restaurant has become routine. It is a house of individual charm and
distinctive own philosophy. Dining at Altwienerhof will turn into a
culinary experience and will really add something extra to a
romantic weekend in this Austrian capital. The restaurant ‘Korso
with the opera’ in the hotel Bristol is one of the most prominent
places of Vienna in relation to the State opera and at the beginning
of the Kaerntner road. Since 1984 chef Reinhard Gerer has been
spoiling people with fine food creations. The restaurant has
received many awards, including: Michelin; 3 toques by Gault Millau
and Chef of the Year. The décor is elegant, the service is
impeccable and the experience of dining here is unforgettable. Korso
is without a doubt a Vienna break top table. For vegetarians we
suggest Lebenbauer. The chef is wonderfully creative and has won
awards for his amazing food. The restaurant has been running since
1988, which speaks volumes in this highly competitive world of
cuisine. Another well established vegetarian restaurant is Wrenkh
and is highly recommended for its tasty & creative menu. Other
vegetarian restaurants to try are Bio-Bar von Antu and Nice Rice. There are many fine
Indian restaurants in Vienna and being a cuisine
close to the British publics heart, we have highlighted the best
options within the capital to try on your Austria holidays. An
Indian restaurant that never seems to be empty is Koh-i-noor, always
filled with locals and tourists alike. Although stag partys are not
encouraged. The food is good but pricey, but the food & service
quality is definitely worth paying for. A real gem is Tandoor, one
of the nicest designed Indian restaurants in Austria. The décor is
posh, with many unique artifacts & decorations filling this spacious
dining establishment. For discerning travelers that want to enjoy a
romantic meal without being disturbed by a stag night, then Tandoor
is a great choice. One of the best and nicest places for great
Indian food is Curry Insel. Curry Island is friendly and extremely
cheap but they don’t cut corners. If you’re on a budget city break,
then this restaurant is a great idea. The food is tasty and
well-spiced and the service is spot on. Finally, the Mahal is
another budget traveler winner. The dishes are very nice and very
affordable, but don't expect the ambience of a luxury restaurant,
its more of a snack bar-takeaway. The Unkai Japanese restaurant offers a fascinating variety of
Japanese specialities. Sushi and Sashimi are served perfectly in the
traditional manner, and Teppanyaki dishes are perpared in front of
guests. These dishes have been awarded 'two toques' by leading
restaurant guide 'Gault Milau' and they have also received the 'Trophee
Gourmet' for ethnic cuisine. Two Tatami rooms with original decor
and two European-sytle guest rooms are available for private
functions. If you are a sushi lover, then try Toko Ri and Dschungel
Café. Both have well designed decors, excellent head chefs and great
reputations within the dining community in Vienna. For more Asian
style cuisine, then try Ra’mien. This inexpensive restaurant
attracts a trendy clientele, and is always a hub of activity.
