Saint Charles Alimentary Review

Unique in Vienna, this is a pharmacy restaurant. Head chef Philipp Furtenbach takes fresh seriously, often gathering his ingredients directly from local farmers or in the forests around Vienna. He specializes in bringing out the flavor and healing power of native herbs and plants. The unique restaurant is not strictly vegetarian, as the restaurant also procures wild game shot especially for them. Start perhaps with a wild root soup that is powerful in flavor and very aromatic. Your freshly made salad might be one of green lentils with Jerusalem artichoke slices, everything bound together by pumpkin seed oil. A meatless main course might be a robust porridge of spelt with roast pumpkin, red peppers, and walnuts, served with hard cheese from the district of Vorarlberg in the west.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
