Frommer's Review

It's upscale, it's gemütlich, and it's on the short list of restaurants that concierges at some of Vienna's most upscale hotels recommend to their clients. You'll find it on a narrow street a few blocks northeast of the Cathedral, beneath 500-year-old ceiling vaults, now painted a dark shade of pink, that evoke a venue that's more folksy and rustic than this sophisticated restaurant really is. Recent clients have included Jose Carreras, race-car celeb Nicki Lauda, Keith Richards, and the President of Austria (Heinz Fischer). The fact that there are only 30 seats enhances the coziness of a venue that was established in its present format in 1989. Expect glamorous food. The finest examples include carpaccio of beef with mustard sauce; sweetbreads with vanilla sauce and braised chicory; and stuffed squid with lemon sauce and pepper-flavored cream sauce.
