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 […]

Interesting Latin American and Asian fusion kitchen: Restaurant Mercado-Nikkei (5. June 2019)
The Mercado was recommended to me a couple of months ago and finally I had the chance to visit the place. It was a place trying to be fusion between Latin American and Japanese kitchen – so some kind of fusion but not really. We decided to go for the “five course menu” (EUR 48.00) […]

A truly outstanding vegetarian restaurant: Restaurant TIAN (18. April 2019)
A vegetarian restaurant with a Michelin star? It was the least to say that I was skeptical but the TIAN proofed me wrong! There is such a thing and it is actually worth trying! On a Thursday for lunch there is no need to book a table in advance as the place was basically empty. […]

Amazing Blunzngröstl – definitely worth trying: Restaurant Die Serviette (24. June 2018)
There aren’t too many restaurants open on a Sunday around midday but the Serviette was open and apparently quite good in terms of reputation. The place itself lacks a bit in atmosphere as it is tiny and somehow the tables are super close to each other and you are basically getting everything which happens in […]
