A Viennese institution – but an overrated one: Restaurant Zum schwarzen Kameel (8. April 2023)

The Zum schwarzen Kameel belongs to Vienna for more than a century and, hence, it has quite a reputation and is famous, so, people actually queue to eat here. And while it is amazing to be ‘welcomed’ (although welcomed is a liberal interpretation of selective friendliness) by a guy who seems older and more antique […]

Quite a disappointing breakfast selection compared to earlier years: Café Imperial @ Hotel Imperial Vienna (8. April 2023)

Quite a disappointing breakfast selection compared to earlier years: Café Imperial @ Hotel Imperial Vienna (8. April 2023)

I have had great memories of the breakfast in the Hotel Imperial, hence, my expectations were sky-high! This was definitely a big mistake, because the subsequent disappointment was quite massive. I mean, it is not like you don’t get breakfast here, but I really don’t see the hype. They used to have amazing things like […]

Decent, but in comparison disappointing vegetarian experience: Restaurant TIAN (7. April 2023)

Decent, but in comparison disappointing vegetarian experience: Restaurant TIAN (7. April 2023)

When I visited the TIAN last time in 2019, I was completely blown away by the exquisiteness of the vegetarian cuisine. Hence, my expectations were quite high for this visit. And they were definitely not met. It started with the fact that I had booked the table back in August 2022. When sending an email […]

An amazing bar atmosphere with rather weak drinks: Imperial Bar @ Hotel Imperial (7. April 2023)

While it is a good 10 years ago since I’ve last stayed at the Hotel Imperial, I have actually never visited their bar. Turns out, the place is quite nice. Definitely very traditional and definitely very interesting in terms of interior design. The staff is friendly, attentive, and swift. I went for “The Kiss (Vienna […]

Try the Sacher Torte – an absolute must when you visit Vienna: Restaurant Sacher Eck (30. August 2020)

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 […]
