Goldfisch - Fischladen & Bistro — Restaurant in Vienna

I had an OK Ceviche as a starter and total disaster main course consisting of guineafowl (breast and thigh) with a side of crayfish and root vegetables. The bird's thigh was totally raw inside, the amount of salt that was poured on top of the meat was numbing so I was unable to taste anything after that and the side dish was obviously old with the crayfish turned into rubber. The waiter, ignoring the obvious pink colour of the thigh, insisted that it is impossible for the meat to be raw as it is done sous-vide and lost interest in listening to what else I wanted to share about the other issues with the dish.

Lady Owner also helped us to choose right pairing wine for the food. It was such a nice dinner, definitely will come back there if in...

Five years ago I wrote ... Great location for fish in Vienna. Friendly staff. Great wine selection perfectly matched to the fish. ... Goldfisch is one of those restaurants that gets better every time you visit. Last night we enjoyed a wonderful Rubensuppe, the Ash Wednesday Platter (a variety of herring salads) and grilled trout. Along with a couple glasses of Grüner Veltliner and Sauvignon Blanc. Friendly and professional service, nice setting. What could be better? Be sure to reserve because it's a...
