Vienna Restaurant Guide | Must-Try & Must-Skip 🇦🇹🍽️
📍 Why This List? From world-class fine dining to cozy neighborhood gems, here’s my honest ranking after eating my way through Vienna—plus one notorious tourist trap to avoid! 🌟 Must-Visit Restaurants 1️⃣ Steirereck (2 Michelin Stars) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📍 World’s #18 Restaurant (set in Stadtpark). 🍽️ Tasting Menu Highlights: ✔ Beeswax Poached Sturgeon – theatrical tableside prep. ✔ Bread Cart: 20+ homemade varieties (free refills!). ✔ Desserts: Whimsical, Instagram-worthy. ⚠️ Skip: “Noodles” course (confusing texture). 💰 €200+ per person (7-course lunch). 🔗 Book 3+ months ahead on their website. 2️⃣ Skopik & Lohn (Michelin Bib Gourmand) 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ 📍 Off-the-radar wine tavern 🍽️ Why Love It?: ✔ No stuffy dress code – jeans-friendly fine dining. ✔ Small Plates: Light, creative Austrian. ✔ Wine List: Natural Austrian bottles (€6/glass). ⏳ 90-minute seating limit (go for dinner). 💰 €60 per person. 3️⃣ Sil (Best Brunch) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 📍 Near Kunsthistorisches Museum. 🍳 Must-Order: ✔ Cheesecake: Dense, caramelized top (worth the calories!). ✔ Benedict Waffles: Runny eggs + crispy bacon. 💰 €20 per person. 💣 AVOID: Figlmüller (Tourist Trap) ❌ 📍 Why It Sucks: ✔ Rude Service: Snappy waiters, ignored requests. ✔ Food: Dry schnitzel, frozen-tasting sides. ✔ Ambiance: Cramped, toilet-adjacent tables. 💸 Still charge €25 for mediocrity. 💡 Alternative: Any Beisl does better schnitzel (e.g., Gasthaus Pöschl). 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Fine Dining: Steirereck > Amador (3 stars but too stiff). ✔ Budget Hack: Skopik’s lunch menu (€35 for 3 courses). ✔ Coffee: Skip Demel – Café Sperl has better Sachertorte. #ViennaEats #MichelinGuide #FoodieSOS
