"Ethnic Cuisine" Restaurants in Vienna
A fixed star in the Viennese gastronomic firmament: Italian cuisine of the highest standard (from gamberi to truffles), sensational wines and an elegant ambience are the ingredients that continue to make Fabios so popular.
A family atmosphere prevails in Rosita and Piero's small vaulted cellar, where top-quality Calabrian delicacies are served: homemade pasta, excellently prepared fish and fine wines.
Patron Joji Hattori has created something of his own. Sushi, especially O-Toro, is rarely better in Vienna, but the true mastery lies in the creations of this meticulous kitchen.
Joji Hattori's Japanese fine-dining oasis has long been a fixed star in the gastronomic firmament, and the more relaxed brasserie is no less enjoyable. Way ahead in the race for the best sushi in town.
Nothing more needs to be said about the quality and creativity at Mochi: the sushi, grilled skewers and other delicacies coming out of the kitchen are a pure delight.
Sushi prepared à la minute and specialties from the Robata grill are almost a minor matter in the legendary location with its surreal and spectacular "close-up view" of the Steffl - but only almost.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to maintain last year's high rating, but it is still good and well worth a visit. With wonderful pasta, fish or bistecca from Chianina, you can dream yourself away to Tuscany.
It's easy to overlook Gerd Sievers' small restaurant - but it would be a huge mistake: reservations are compulsory, and then you can enjoy an exclusive menu at the chef's table.
If you like colonial-style restaurants and have a preference for steaks, this is the place for you. The quality of the meats (including Wagyu beef) is excellent, as are the drinks in the bar next door.
The grandeur of the Florentine winegrowing aristocracy obliges! Outstanding risottos, truffle pasta and, of course, bistecca are celebrated here. And the cellar is a trademark anyway.
Kim has been cooking her interpretation of Korean recipes for many years. She is considered a pioneer of modern, high-quality Asian cuisine in Vienna. Daily fresh products are skilfully prepared.
Jin and Fang celebrated 30 years in the restaurant business last year. The crispy heraldic bird - the Peking duck - still gleams magnificently. Pan-Asian delicacies from curry to Singapore crab.
The Alps meet the Adriatic at this gem on Yppenplatz: South Tyrolean Raetus Wetter cooks up local dishes and wonderful food from the rest of Italy, including perfect handmade ravioli. Nice service, good wines!
The excellent stone-oven pizzas are a great way to stave off hunger while strolling through the city centre. However, it would be a mistake to miss out on the antipasti and homemade pasta at patron Aki Nuredini's restaurant.
High-quality steaks ensure fame, the 1000-degree Southbend broiler provides heat. Own dry-age Kabinett, cuts from all over the world (butter-tender Wagyu). Cool drinks, fine wine list. Sundays: brunch & prosecco.
French restaurants have generally never lasted long in Vienna. Denis König's Le Salzgries is a big exception. The lobster bisque and "Plateau de fruits de mer" have always been top quality.
Fine fillets, rib-eye, T-bone - each piece is served only in the best quality and with the perfect cooking point. There are plenty of side dishes, but the main protagonist on the plate remains the premium meat.
Kiang in the Servitenviertel is legendary: minimalist interior, fantastic, modern street food in tapas form and a pleasing selection of interesting wines. Exciting: the offal cuisine!
Exclusive products of high quality, but without frills: this is what characterises the modern "Cuisine Bistronomique" concept. Real specialties! And the right wine is always easy to find.
Hiroshi Sakai is a grandmaster of Japanese cuisine: his four- to nine-course menus with soup, starter variations, sashimi, mussels and fish are in a class of their own. Just like the sake pairing!
