Wow. What a 3.5 hrs of delight. My faith in the Michelin 3 stars rating has been restored (had a previous bad experience in Modena). Definitely should be rated much higher than the 4.4 Google reviews. The tasting menu with wine pairing was exquisite. Thank goodness we chose the 6 vs 7 courses. I really like the option of choosing each course. Funny note: I found out my wife and I had 100% opposite tastes. We should have skipped lunch as the 6 courses were more than enough with the bread samples and complimentary pre & post amuse-bouche. BTW, the service was excellent with my compliments to the teamwork.

Absolutely delighted with our visit to Steirereck! My gf and I had our 5-year anniversary, and we decided to celebrate it with a 3-star experience :) From beginning to end, we were very happy with the whole service, taste journey, and overall ambiance. It is a very pricey experience, but worth the try if one enjoys high Michelin-level restaurants. All the dishes were a success, and the extras, such as the moving bread cart with its own sommelier, were also a memorable part of the 3–4 hour evening. The service was excellent and not too pushy or excessive. They even had a detail written on our table for our anniversary, which was also a smile factor for us! Well-deserved 3 stars, and I wish the team continued success in this regard.

I had an amazing meal here. I ordered a la carte since I wanted bigger portions. I enjoyed every dish. The best were the fresh water fish including Alpine char and carp. The carp comes with this sweet and sour sauce that is divine. Service was great. The space was modern. Those yellow sinks in the bathrooms were fun.

This was truly an exceptional experience at a three-Michelin-star restaurant. Each dish was beautifully presented, and the creativity behind the menu brought us many delightful surprises throughout the evening. The service met the highest fine dining standards: professional, attentive, and perfectly timed without ever feeling intrusive. The atmosphere was warm and intimate, creating a sense of privacy that made the experience even more special. The restaurant is also conveniently located near the city center. I will certainly return.

We made a reservation here after seeing this place listed in the Michelin Guide, since we generally enjoy trying higher end spots like this. Overall, while there were parts of the meal we enjoyed, this isn’t a place we’d recommend for a typical lunch or dinner. That said, if you’re a fan of fancy cheeses and want to sample a variety, it can still be worth a stop. The location is quite nice, overlooking the park and river, though it isn’t immediately obvious and you do need to know where you’re going. Inside, the restaurant feels upscale and modern, with a very sleek look and lots of white throughout the space, but some of it was a little scuffed. The service was decent and there were plenty of servers on the floor, and everyone we interacted with was friendly. Some were more attentive than others. We ordered a glass of wine, the mixed starters, the schnitzel, and a cheese plate. The wine was excellent. It was crisp and very enjoyable. The mixed starters included veal sweetbreads with salad, grilled sturgeon, and a ravioli. The veal was tender, but the breading lacked seasoning. The accompanying endive salad was pretty good, even though we’re not usually endive fans. The grilled sturgeon was cooked well and served in a nice sauce, though it was very red pepper forward, which is something to be aware of. The ravioli was the standout of the three. It was flavorful and served in a really nice sauce. The schnitzel, unfortunately, was a disappointment. While the meat itself was cooked well, the breading didn’t adhere properly and wasn’t very crispy. We had noticeably better schnitzel elsewhere in Vienna. The potato salad that came with it, however, was decent. It is more of a traditional salad with potatoes mixed in. It was nicely dressed and flavorful. We also ordered the goat, sheep, and cow cheese plate. Overall, it was good, and we enjoyed most of the cheeses. The blue cheese was a bit too strong for our taste, but the plate was well rounded and served with bread and excellent quince jam, which really elevated the experience. In the end, the cheeses and the ravioli were highlights, but beyond that, the food didn’t quite justify the price or the Michelin hype for us. Worth considering if cheese is your main focus, but otherwise there are better value options in Vienna.
