Description

This lovingly run restaurant is tucked away in the Heiligenkreuzerhof, a Cistercian monastery dating back to the 12C, and its assortment of pretty dining rooms creates a genuinely cosy, welcoming atmosphere. The lovely tranquil courtyard terrace is also not to be overlooked, and the charming service is the icing on the cake. On the menu: internationally inspired dishes and Austrian classics – think wild red prawn with rhubarb, nasturtium and sweet potato, or Wiener schnitzel served with potato and lamb's lettuce salad, lingonberries and lemon. Tip: wines from selected Austrian vintners.

Review summary

Located in a quiet Viennese square, Buxbaum offers a romantic, cozy atmosphere with a pleasant courtyard terrace, though some find seating cramped. Service is generally praised for being attentive and professional, although isolated incidents of rushed explanations or aloofness occur. The cuisine features beautifully presented, balanced dishes such as octopus pasta and black caviar, but critics note occasional cooking errors like over-salted starters or overcooked fish. While most reviews highlight high-quality ingredients and elegant execution, negative feedback includes concerns about portion heaviness and rare severe health issues. It remains a solid choice for fine dining enthusiasts seeking an intimate setting.

Best for

Ideal for diners seeking a romantic, intimate setting with refined cuisine, though those with mobility needs should check seating space.
