die Allee — Restaurant in Vienna

Generally speaking, I had a good Brunch experience, but here's the tea: Way too expensive for what is offered. For 35,- per person Die Allee either needs to up their service and quality game by quite a bit OR offer some sort of flatrate on beverages. I mean come on, at the very least include one hot beverage (coffee, tea, ... you name it).

The range of the buffet was definitely on the more extraordinary site, including main dishes such as Schnitzel, French Fries, Pasta, Risotto, BBQ Chicken and Ribs. I felt like most of the stuff had been sitting around for a while, so it didn't feel as crisp to me. Which is somewhat to be expected at a buffet so that's okay. However, a major drawback was that they eventually ran out of some things (croissants, pancakes, etc.). There was still more than an hour until the end of our brunch, but even after repeated requests (including from guests other than us), they refused to restock. Boo!

Another major drawback reflected in my rating was that when we raised the issue (in a friendly and respectful manner) with our waiter before leaving the restaurant, we were brushed off with astonishing indifference. No "Sorry", no "I don't care", no nothing. Boo!

Lastly, the ambiance of the place is awesome. Both inside and outside it looks beautiful, spacious, modern and just nice. The location within the Vienna Prater is also prime. And the bar adjacent to the outdoor area looked very intriguing.

All things considered, I will most...

Great for apres-park activities with the kids. The general ambience is like an apres-ski dining hut in winter and there is a huge bowling alley which is part of the restaurant complex. The waiter seemed very unhappy and rushed. The seating hostess was nice although she also seemed overwhelmed. The food was surprisingly decent. We had a-la-carte. If you’re a single person, the 500g portion of ribs is more than enough (unless you’re a really a huge eater). There is a small kid‘s menu — which is a thing in Vienna — which is great for your little picky eaters. For the current menu, I recommend the saibling which comes with a bowl of mini potatoes and salad. The kitchen hand (’Winston‘) who came to serve our food was the nicest part of the dining experience. He smiled and was pleasant, things that one generally expects from hospitality workers the world over but after a few years of living here, evidently still not something that you can generally expect in Vienna. Sigh.

Tip: there is a Sunday brunch if you’d like to explore that option but I’m reliably informed that NO drinks are included, not even one.

Mobility and child friendly.

Fantastic for exploring the...

For the price payed, this is an excellent place to go, if i had not looked at the menu, i would expect to pay quite a bit more.

The interior is very modern and sleek, the outside is very cozy and fit for a meal or drink in a laid-back environment. The surroundings are pretty and the place looks and feels great.

I ordered the risotto with beetroot and chanterelles, it was quite good. It came with roasted tomatoes. Good taste no complaints. They have a menu, that i am sure will satisfy most tastes, even those who are picky eaters.

The staff was nice as well, they went out of their way to give us a good table.

My critiques are very nit-picking, but nonetheless I was thrilled by my experience. I ordered "just any dry white wine" but ended up with a sweet, fruity one. The wine was good, but not dry and did not accompany the risotto very well.

In conclusion, i highly recommend the place - the food is great and feels more expensive than what you pay, looks...
