The best restaurants Vienna

Escapade in the vineyards. The view over Vienne and the hillsides is breathtaking. From the terrace, enjoy the fresh air and the freshness of a small white wine from the establishment. Excellent pastries and first-class blends. The winery is both Kaffeehaus in the rotunda and Heuriger in the annex wing of the building. Popular with tourists and locals alike, it boasts an original post-Soviet architecture. In summer, grill in the garden; in winter, enjoy a cosy dining room.

This restaurant and wine bar offers French cuisine, a pleasant terrace on the ring road and a comfortable room. The service is stylish and warm, the dishes are nicely prepared. Delicious scallop starter on grilled watermelon, herbs, sprouted seeds and a thin strip of candied lemon or a fondant tartar with chanterelles, then grilled octopus and squid on a thin slice of black radish, crisp green vegetables and candied tomatoes, to finish with caramel and chocolate churros. Optional: truffled Brie de Meaux. Nice wine list.

In a pretty, quiet street in the ^1st district, Hopferl offers a Bierhof and a Beisl, which make up a good address for discovering Austrian cuisine and a good beer without ruining yourself, in the style of a pub in the fashion of the time. In addition to the traditional Austrian dishes of a Beisl, there are also some vegetarian proposals. A dozen beers to choose from, either draught or bottled. You can eat on the terrace or in a small, cosy vaulted room. Happy hour, during the week, from 3.30 pm to 5.30 pm.

A restaurant in paradise... A bay window or a terrace overlooking the magnificent landscape of the Kahlenberg hillside full of vineyards. Modern Austrian cuisine and international dishes. With an excellent choice of wines. A modern and airy atmosphere for a meal in the serenity of the heights. The daily lunch menu makes the address very affordable. In the evening you should plan a fairly large budget. On the coffee side, drinks and pastries are up to the task.

A restaurant in the stars. The lift takes you to the fantastic restaurant at the Danube Tower, 252 m high. The view over Vienna and the Danube is impressive, from the circular glass window you can't miss anything! Moreover, the restaurant room is rotatable, so the view is truly 360°. One would almost forget what's on the plate, it would be a pity because the flavours are there and the plates nicely presented. Come at night, the lights of the city sparkle as if it were Christmas.

The Schnattl restaurant is a distinguished establishment that hosts the Vienneseintelligentsia. Here actors and theatre-goers meet. In brightly lit rooms or in the charming inner courtyard, you can enjoy a revisited Viennese cuisine. The chef interprets with fidelity and a touch of originality the traditional dishes, based on ingredients rigorously selected for their flavour and quality. A vegetarian menu or a heart of lamb grilled with Brie, it's all about flavour and successful combinations.

Located in one of Vienna's gourmet streets, l'Inigo aims to offer "much more than just food and drink". This gastronomic and cultural venue features a restaurant, bar, lounge, meeting space, exhibitions and themed evenings. The decor is bright and modern, with an attractive menu of food and beverages. Alongside traditional dishes, you'll discover lesser-known foods, wines and artists. In this way, gastronomy rubs shoulders with art openings and cultural and/or culinary performances. It's friendly, good food and very affordable.

For a Viennese interlude on the edge of the park, from breakfast to dinner and afternoon tea. You'll enjoy a historic building with large windows and high ceilings. The decor is superb. We love that it's green and refers to birds. The cuisine is refined, tasty and generous, traditional but with a contemporary twist. Excellent breads, numerous natural non-alcoholic beverages. And even if the tables are crowded, the service remains efficient and smiling. A highly recommended address.

On the ^8th floor of the Hotel Ferdinand on the Ring, this new rooftop restaurant offers a Mediterranean ambience with panoramic views from the terrace, and a menu with a southern accent: from bouillabaisse marseillaise to ravioli alla carbonara, from salade niçoise to poulet à la mallorquina. Le Limon in the colors of sunshine and lemon is open to all, hotel residents or not. Reservations are strongly recommended. Le Limon is also a chic, festive cocktail bar, where you can relax and unwind.

This is one of the three restaurants in the Grand Ferdinand Hotel, on the Ring, and the most affordable, with a Hungarian cuisine trend and an excellent goulash, as the name suggests. You can enjoy breakfast in the morning and coffee with a pastry or snack throughout the day and well into the evening. The daily menu is tasty and generous. It's less sophisticated than the Grand étage, on the hotel's ^8th floor, and more traditional than the neighboring Meissl & Schadn, temple of traditional and XXL Viennese schnitzel.

Loca is one of these new-style restaurants, offering inventive, locavore and healthy cuisine in a soothing, uncluttered setting for a moment of pleasure and rejuvenation. The menu is composed in such a way as to offer variety, with dishes designed to be richer in vitamins than in calories, while remaining nourishing, without sacrificing taste or pleasure, of course! We also appreciate the beauty of the plates. Nice little terrace in summer.

This establishment, run by Markus Mraz and his sons Lukas and Manuel, is a veritable institution on the Viennese gastronomic scene. Tables of this level on the outskirts of the city are an exception. The Mraz family concocts avant-garde cuisine with disconcerting flavors. Let yourself be surprised and trust the 15-course menu. Just specify any allergies you may have, and the chef will take care of the rest. Save room for cheeses - the cart offers around forty! Wine and food pairings available. A great gastronomic moment.

A rural and gourmet stopover on the Viennese wine route, very convenient if you are driving, as it is located on the main road connecting the villages of Heiligenstadt and Grinzing. This spacious Heuriger can accommodate more than 450 guests and has a particularly pleasant garden terrace. You are sure to enjoy the wines from the Wagner vineyard, which has been in existence since 1683, and the buffet offering an abundant choice of typical Austrian rustic cuisine. There is also a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

In nightclubs, night owls are often hungry. The Goodmann's has the good taste of serving hot dishes late at night. This bar-disco restaurant also has an atmosphere that never fails to impress. A steak tartare, a spaghetti plaster, or a Tafelspitz are prepared in the oven for those who are not yet at breakfast! All at very reasonable prices, not to mention the fact that the entrance is free (let's not forget that this is a disco). And of course eating does not exempt from drinking and vice versa.

This is the bar-restaurant of the luxury Motto hotel. A trendy address with a rooftop bar in summer, comfortable lounge areas, green plants and a cupola, all of great charm. The menu is inspired by French cuisine and modernizes Austrian dishes. The emphasis is on fresh, organic produce and seafood. From breakfast to late-night cocktails, brunch, tapas and main courses. The bar is often crowded and welcomes the whole of Vienna.

This is the restaurant and rooftop bar of the friendly Hotel Zoku, close to the Wien Messe. The atmosphere is relaxed and the decor original, combining plants, wood panelling and a variety of intimate spaces. You'll find people working on their computers around a large table, a group sharing an aperitif, a couple on a romantic dinner date, students enjoying a coffee on the terrace. Sumptuous views over the Prater amusement park and the city. The dishes are refined, but the bill can quickly climb.

Coup de coeur for this wine bar opened in 2017 by Matthias Pitra and Steve Breitzke. On the plates, a range of garden dishes and a few hand-picked meats. Inventive, healthy and delicious. You can tell that the chefs have worked in the kitchens of vegetable enthusiasts, including the Michelin-starred Paul Ivic. Three dishes of the day to choose from: meat, fish and vegetarian. Dessert is a highlight that rounds off the gastronomic adventure perfectly. Excellent local wines and beers. One green Michelin star.

An offshoot of the Mochi on Praterstrasse. Since 2017, it has been offering ramen, that Japanese soup with fresh noodles in a broth of your choice - dried fish, shellfish, pork, mushrooms... - and a soft-boiled egg marinated in soy sauce. Very comforting and warming in winter! A nice spot in the alleys of the small market that goes up in the second district, a stone's throw from the campus and Messe Wien. We appreciate the relaxed atmosphere which, combined with the Japanese refinement, symbolizes the Viennese way of life. Kanpaï!

This is the bistro of starred vegetarian chef Paul Ivic. In a trendy passageway near the MuseumQuartier, under the large glass roof or in the dining room, pretty little dishes combining vegetables, cereals, spices, fine herbs and flowers, such as the inimitable beet and mushroom tartar, or this salted butter with leek oil, are served. The garden menu surprises with its flight of colorful and tasty seasonal dishes. The desserts are just as good! And sincerely the meat is not missing.

Here is a rather atypical space between the Beisl and the Lokal, which exists since 1988. It is a friendly and plural place that honors wine and wines and is particularly suited to catering. You can eat veal schnitzel and beef tartar, pork ribs and burgers, and even, in the spirit of the times, excellent oriental-inspired bowls, including a vegetarian bowl. Every autumn the big harvest festival takes place here, celebrating the end of the work in the fields, a very nice address.

Rough cement walls, wooden tables, a minimalist industrial decor - as in New York - and an open kitchen, a young, nerdy clientele, an organic, seasonal menu - this is the landscape of Zweitbester, a recent establishment that has quickly found its feet and its clientele. The daily menu is perfect. The à la carte dishes are seductive, inventive and healthy. The brunches and breakfasts are definitely worth trying. We love the homemade crème brûlée and the cheeseburger. Fresh fruit juice cocktails.

A trendy address from renowned chef Eyal Shani, with an open kitchen that welcomes you for gourmet Mediterranean-inspired dinners, a blend of French and Italian influences. The secret of this original establishment lies in its choice of top-quality ingredients and, for a trendy touch, its emphasis on vegetables and even heirloom vegetables. Here you'll find pastries, parsnips and a variety of cabbages. But it's also possible to enjoy a 450g rare rib steak or a fine fish! We eat on long, shared tables.

This modern restaurant welcomes you to the castle grounds and shady terrace. The menu features Austrian specialties and Viennese wines, particularly those bearing the WienWein label, from the castle's vineyards, which were already present during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa. Today, the WienWein group produces the famous Wiener Gemischter Satz on the plots adjacent to the Orangery. The Heuriger Joseph II is accessible even after the park has closed.

Immerse yourself in the Viennese tradition of the urban Heuriger, far from the vineyards but with good tastings and dishes typical of wine inns. This Stadtheuriger is one of the finest in the city center. The terrace, shaded and calm, allows you to enjoy Viennese wine in peace and quiet. The buffet is packed with shanks, sausages, cabbage and potatoes, the staff are particularly charming and the interior well-kept and well-decorated under the auspices of Bacchus. And best of all, the cuisine is locavore and based on organic produce.

A restaurant-pizzeria that brings gourmet Italy to the heart of Austria. This is a very representative establishment of the very bobo Spittelberg, where the art of living is cultivated against a background of dolce vita, that is to say, Italian cuisine is enjoyed from antipasti to desserts, from pasta to pizza. We speak and think in Italian, and we like it. It is sometimes difficult to find a place in this large, warm and noisy wooden establishment. Quality cuisine, young and relaxed atmosphere. Local customers love the chef's pizzas.

Ideally located at the very beginning of the Prater park, in the middle of the rides and other attractions, the Kolarik family establishment has a beautiful and huge terrace. In summer, reservations are required to ensure you have space. It is colossally large, but also always full. The "House of the Swiss" is also an institution, the Stelzle of Pork, the roast pork shank served by the kilo. And the beer is flowing. There's also a small snack outside with chips and potato roasts to take away.

Chef Massimo knows how to pop pizza dough and top it with tasty ingredients. Viennese diners flock to this Italian restaurant every evening. No checkered tablecloths here! While the decor of the large vaulted dining room is rather sober, the tables are well laid and the red lacquered bar clearly marks the boundary between kitchen and dining room. The chef excels in preparing fresh pasta, and his spaghetti with clams is legendary. He also likes to work with fish, and his tiramisu dares to be original. Espresso Italian style!

A humanized rabbit, complete with clothes and top hat, symbolizes the brand. The Stellas, part bar, part wine bar, part beer bar, part delicatessen, is a convivial place for an aperitif with tapas, a restaurant-grill with generous, tasty dishes. The chef juggles Mediterranean and Asian inspirations with an Austrian twist. Gourmets appreciate this address. The Stellas is also known for its long list of cocktails and wines from near and far. Another Stellas, Stellas 3, Landstraßer Hauptstraße 44.

A small Austrian-style pancake... The Viennese Palatschinken are a little thicker than the Breton pancakes. The house uses organic eggs, flours and local ingredients. We liked the emperor's pancake served with a compote of quetsches and the amazing meringue pancakes ... But whether they are spinach/salmon, walnut/brie, sheep/veal or minced meat/gouda, all are tasty, hearty and with side dishes. A very good value for money.

In the heart of the MuseumsQuartier, a quality fast-food restaurant where you can eat in the dining room or on the terrace, or you can take your snack to nibble in the large courtyard, on the contemporary and colorful urban furniture that brightens it up. There are dishes full of freshness, with vegetables, some completely vegetarian, even vegan, but also classic burgers. The service is efficient and smiling. You can also stop by just to quench your thirst between two museum visits. A lot of young Viennese for breakfast and aperitif. Low prices.

We love it. In summer, the terrace with its greenery is very popular. This evening-only address offers a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. The decor is bold, with a scribbled ceiling and waiters dressed in white. The menu is simple, renewed according to the season, and the dishes are Austrian-influenced, with a few international touches and an obvious French influence. The atmosphere is hushed and inviting. Recommended for a romantic dinner, for example. Skopik&Lohn is also a bar.

Another old-fashioned pub, 100% authentic Viennese. It's been around since 1952 and distills tradition in a pleasant way. You'll enjoy a lovely interior, with several large, characterful rooms, or a small terrace overlooking the street. Service is meticulous and Viennese cuisine makes a few concessions to international flavors. The establishment maintains its good reputation in the city's gastronomic landscape. Feel free to order Austrian dishes at mealtimes, or just come in for a drink to enjoy the scenery.

This Beisl was opened by Matthias Czaak in 1926, in the Postsparkasse district, a little off the beaten tourist track. It's an authentic Beisl offering tasty, hearty local cuisine at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is warm and friendly, with a touch of artistry and intellectualism, and the service is efficient, which is not often the case in touristy Beisl... An address that really deserves to be known. Perhaps you'll make it your canteen? Tuesday is roast pork, cabbage and dumplings...

We're in the Viennese tradition here, with typical decor and a warm, no-fuss atmosphere. We appreciate the pretty inner courtyard, the kitsch decor and the wooden furniture. In the picturesque Grinzing district, Rudolfshof's Heuriger offers Viennese specialties such as vegetable puff pastry, tender meats in sauce, cabbage, sausages and melt-in-your-mouth desserts. All tasty and calorific, especially as the portions are copious. It's a refreshing change of scenery, but still quite touristy and popular.

A cosy, traditional, family-run establishment since 1957. You can sit down in a clean room and enjoy friendly service before seeing generous, appetizing plates arrive. Here you can enjoy good value for money in a cosy, friendly atmosphere. Friendly cuisine with hexagonal touches: the chef worked in Paris for several years. We love his boiled beef, goulash and escalope viennoise. The cellar houses a wide variety of wines. A good address!

A typically Austrian address with a very pleasant terrace, in the heart of a neighborhood that's home to some trendy new addresses and close to a university. Here, you'll enjoy caloric, honest local cuisine at affordable prices. The bright, high-ceilinged dining room is a delight. You'll bump into local regulars and a few students. Traditional, friendly service. There's also a small store where you can buy a drink, bread, pastries, sandwiches, fruit... Closed in July.

You will certainly appreciate the warm atmosphere of this traditional hostel style establishment. Everything is clean and a little outdated. You will discover a small menu but good dishes in this restaurant popular with the locals. The place looks like a tavern, the service is attentive and the whole has character. A few tables are set up on the terrace on sunny days. A la carte: dishes based on organic meat and vegetables. It is copious and tasty. The wine list is carefully selected.

The two hands in the logo symbolize fraternity between peoples. Slogan: falafel against racism! Habibi & Hawara, two words of friendship, one for the Maghreb, the other for Israel. Popular with families and students alike, this brand is characterized by its ethics, employing migrants, creating a warm atmosphere and generously offering Oriental flavors. Hummus, labneh, tabbouleh, stew and even baklava are all perfect! The lunch buffet is superb, as are the stew dishes. A real favorite!

This is the renovated Parliament restaurant. A superb new gourmet address on the Ring. You eat in the basement of the historic building. It's also the MPs' restaurant. So you can eat right next to a member of parliament! Kelsen's cuisine is Austrian revisited, but also locavore and made with products from environmentally-friendly agriculture. La Cantina offers an affordable daily menu. Le Bistrot and l'Agora are open all day and offer breakfasts, drinks and pastries.

The famous Austrian footballer David Alaba has opened the bistronomic restaurant DaRose, whose name is made up of the beginning of his own first name and that of his sister Rose. What a conversion! This restaurant, located on the Campus Austria in the Nordbahnviertel, features modern fusion cuisine. You'll find a variety of dishes, hearty mixed salads, pizzas, pastas, vegan dishes and a fine wine list from near and far. DaRose seats 120. A chic interior and spacious shaded terrace await guests.

This brand of restaurants offering Turkish cuisine has been in existence since 1990 and has five restaurants in Vienna. It is not for the setting that one comes to this one but for what is on the plates. You can eat divinely well at very low prices. You can enjoy a mixture of kebabs, kebabs with mutton or chicken meat, kebabs with rice or wheat. The garden is pleasant, and the place has become a must for Vienna's trendy youth who mix with an almost exclusively male Turkish clientele. Exotic and excellent.

Ideally located opposite the Albertina, the city's main tourist office, this bar-restaurant is a must. In summer, you can sit out on the terrace to enjoy the lively atmosphere, or in winter, in the elegant, cosy dining room. Enjoy an imperial breakfast in the morning, and an excellent daily menu of generous Viennese dishes at lunchtime. The house is also famous for its desserts, which can be ordered throughout the day with a creamy coffee. The strudel is, as it should be, divine. For sachertorte, go to Sacher's, 150 meters away...

On the first floor of Vienna's Jewish Museum, with a few tables spilling out onto the Dorotheegasse sidewalk in fine weather, this oriental restaurant is a delight. The flavors are there, the ingredients fresh and the dishes delicious, from hummus to boreck, from carrot soup to bulgur, from burgers/pita to salads full of color and freshness, from lemonade to mango lassi, not forgetting all the beautifully presented dishes featuring seasonal vegetables. Friendly service and excellent value for money. Takeaway dishes available.
