Konstantin Filippou

Modern Cuisine, Creative · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

In Konstantin Filippou's elaborate tasting menu, the spotlight is firmly on fish and seafood, with meat largely absent or relegated to a supporting role. One standout dish is the delicate, mousse-like brandade of Amur carp and potato, served on a bed of al dente, slightly tart white asparagus, finished with fragrant toasted almond pieces and almond purée, plus a dollop of caviar. His strikingly modern seven- to nine-course set menu showcases top-quality ingredients from international markets. As a native Styrian with Greek roots, the chef-patron discreetly incorporates influences from both his

The architecture is the first thing you notice! Located in the Stadtpark, the building has a futuristic feel. The interior is bright and airy, featuring clean lines and elegant modern design; you can look into the kitchen through the pass. The clever division of the space into different wings creates a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The exceptional politeness and utmost professionalism of the service team ensure that you feel welcome and comfortable from the moment you arrive. Special mention goes to Birgit Reitbauer, an exemplary hostess, and sommelier René Antrag, for his superb wine recommend

Silvio Nickol Gourmet Restaurant

€€€€

The exclusive Palais Coburg houses one of Vienna's premier dining destinations, a culinary hotspot for many years running. Executive chef Silvio Nickol and head chef Florian Daube present exceptionally creative cuisine featuring meticulously composed combinations of outstanding ingredients. Their distinctive style leaves a lasting impression – for example, in the wonderfully al dente white asparagus topped with crispy baby prawns and basil, or the rich, aromatic langoustine served with a shellfish-infused hollandaise and a citrus butter foam providing a delightful contrast. The "Genussreise" s

Korean Contemporary · ★ Michelin

€€€€

There is only space for a handful of diners at the L-shaped chef's table in this restaurant's minimalist dining space. A nine-course set menu is prepared in the fully open stainless steel kitchen – this culinary journey through Korea lasts approximately three hours. Authenticity is key, but local ingredients and European cooking techniques still find their place. This results in intensely flavoursome dishes such as "gochujang ceviche": slices of Austrian trout marinated in chilli paste, topped with a tangy grapefruit sabayon and finished with a delicate basil oil. The service is charming and a

Jola takes its name from the charming duo behind this venture: Jonathan Wittenbrink, who delivers outstanding vegan cuisine, and Larissa Andres, who manages the service in the compact dining space with charm and aplomb. Seasonal and regional ingredients go into the creative surprise set menu, which features memorable dishes such as raviolo stuffed with aubergine ragout, served with courgette, lightly toasted pine nuts and a wonderfully intense tomato essence. Choose between wine and alcohol-free pairings. The setting is stylish and modern yet pleasingly laid back – the open kitchen certainly a

This beacon of vegetarian gourmet cuisine proposes a set menu with six or eight courses that can also be vegan. Signature dishes are available for expansion. The depth of flavour in the dishes such as "chioggia, radish, juneberry" or "king oyster mushroom, pumpkin, elderflower" is down to the technical prowess of the chef duo Paul Ivić and Florian Burtscher, as well as the fantastic quality of the ingredients, which are seasonal and locally sourced. There's a great selection of organic wines – alternatively, opt for one of the non-alcoholic beverage accompaniments. The waitstaff are warm and p

The fine dining restaurant of the Anantara Palais Hansen Hotel has a tasteful interior channeling an elegant style. It serves a seasonally inspired menu injected with fresh pops of colour by chef Paul Gamauf. His dishes show his penchant for vegetables and herbs, plus subtle Mediterranean influences. Preserves also play a role. The combination of flavours and textures is successful; all the components are extremely well balanced and beautifully presented. You can choose a set menu comprising five, seven or nine courses. This is accompanied by a sophisticated wine list with a penchant for Austr

€€

A lively, informal restaurant serving authentic Japanese cuisine with some more modern twists, at moderate prices. You can watch the chefs at work as they prepare sushi rolls, yakitori or gyu don. At lunchtime, the food is served in bowls; in the evening the presentation is a bit more elaborate. In summer, the terrace in front of the building makes for a lovely spot. Tables are much in demand, so book early! The establishment also runs a takeaway right across the street.
