Vevi Restaurant Albertgasse — Restaurant in Vienna

Update:

As promised, we did return for lunch and the experience was perfect this time. Also, the super-friendly staff really took our initial feedback here seriously and proactively apologized for the small flaws during our first visit - the upgrade from four to five stars is well deserved and we‘ll be happy to make this a frequent lunch/dinner place of ours!

Original review:

The food is of great quality, quantity and taste really and the staff is very attentive and friendly. However, two things didn’t fully work out for us and we are confident that this will be fixed by the time of our next visit (and we will definitely come back):

We had reserved for 4 adults and when we arrived were shown a table normally accommodating 2 guests. One of the chairs was also so close to the pole of a sunscreen that one adult could hardly sit there. The friendly waiter argued that another party of four was extended by a fifth person at short notice and that was the reason for us not being assigned a larger table. Upon our request, two tables were joined and we could comfortably sit in the end. Still, it was 19:30 and the terrace was not fully booked. We had the impression the restaurant would have initially squeezed us onto a tiny table in the hope of filling all tables with walk-in guests later that night (which did not happen).

After the delicious starters we also had to wait for more than 1h for our mains. The waiter proactively apologized twice for that delay, which also appeared to have only affected our table.

Overall a great restaurant which has only been operating for a very short time. We are confident that the the small problems we experienced will...

One of my worst dinner experience in Vienna has been in the restaurant . The employees are so rude, condescending and downright unprofessional. I had a reservation done, and one of the employees, was so annoyed with me when the number of people who showed up was one less, not something I could have predicted. They took an hour to come to our table and then took the order. And honestly the food wasn’t even great, my dish was super cold and bland, and the employee serving us was downright rude, even attacked us over our food selection. These guys need to get some lessons in customer service, because they desperately need it. So disaster , spoilt the entire dinner for me. Never setting foot in this place. Better places offering the same cuisine exist. I did rather spend my money elsewhere and get service with a smile. I paid them money to have a good experience , not for them to show...

Vevi really impressed me with its vibrant, flavorful vegetarian Vietnamese food. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made — definitely not your average spot. The homemade lemonade was a standout too: light, refreshing, and just sweet enough.

The vibe in the restaurant is relaxed and pleasant, and the waiter was genuinely kind and attentive without being over the top. It made the whole meal feel even more enjoyable.

Prices are super reasonable considering the quality of the dishes — you can tell they care about what they’re serving. All in all, a great place to sit down, eat well, and leave happy. Definitely...
