Austria
Try the Sacher Torte – an absolute must when you visit Vienna: Restaurant Sacher Eck (30. August 2020)
The good thing about Covid-19 is that there aren’t as many tourists as in regular times so you actually don’t queue for long to get into the Sacher Eck. Once inside, it was time for a typical Austrian lunch, so I went for the “original Viennese veal schnitzel with parsley potatoes” (EUR 25.00) which was […]
A visit to No. 17 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Steirereck (29. August 2020)
Coming back to the Restaurant Steirereck is always an emotional moment. I remember when I was there for the first time in December 2012 when it was No. 11 of the world and it was definitely a memorable experience. And it was great again in June 2018 when it was No. 14 of the world. […]
Delicious breakfast selection as always: Restaurant Bristol @ Hotel Bristol (29. August 2020)
Frankly, the breakfast selection at the restaurant Bristol in the Bristol hotel in Vienna is definitely one of the best hotel breakfasts you can get. You really get everything, even in Covid-19 times, from fresh bread … … to a wide range of cold cuts, salmon, cheese … … salad, spreads … … a selection […]
Simple and traditional Austrian dishes: Restaurant Zur eisernen Zeit (28. August 2020)
When you are in Austria, there are a couple of things you absolutely have to try. One of them is “blood sausage with fresh horseradish” (or as it is called in Austrian “Blunz’ngröstl mit frischem Kren”) (EUR 8.90) which is basically a very intense but also delicious dish. Especially if you like stronger flavors like […]
Great Austrian cuisine with excellent service: Restaurant Buxbaum (17. February 2020)
The Buxbaum is located in the patio of a larger building and is, therefore, not entirely easy to find. But once you’ve found the entrance, you are entering into a lovely restaurant which is very atmospheric in terms of interior design and in terms of decoration. The service is very friendly and helpful and makes […]
Absolutely lovely location and very decent food: Restaurant Bergwiesenglück (24. January 2020)
The Hotel Bergwiesenglück is located in the tiny town of See which is about 20 minutes from St. Anton and 20 minutes from Ischgl away. So in terms of going skiing it’s not ideally located but the hotel itself is great, the staff is super friendly, the chalets are amazing. And the restaurant, also called […]
Amazing for breakfast if you have time – and only if: Café Promenade (13. October 2019)
The Café Promenade is the perfect place for breakfast if you have time, and absolutely only if you have time! The café is a little restaurant located in the park and you get to sit outside and enjoy the last rays of sun before winter comes. Now, while the view is incredibly lovely, what isn’t […]
Traditionally Austrian: Restaurant Welscher Stub’n (12. October 2019)
The Welscher Stub’n was conveniently located right next to Katze Katze and offers traditional Austrian dishes. I went for the “pumpkin risotto with Parmesan cheese” (EUR 9.90) which was a decent portion for a starter and was actually tasty. However, you can easily realize that the risotto wasn’t freshly prepared as the risotto was very […]
