Café Kandl

Excellent Food, Excellent Drinks (The cocktails are to die for), Very good quality at a reasonable price and the service is absolutely Top Notch. Last but not least, you get to sit in of the most beautiful Courtyard of Vienna. Will definitely be coming back! Thanks for a great Evening.

A wonderful meal. The tasting menu was very inventive and well thought out. The natural wines were fantastic. And most importantly the staff were really welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. They seemed to represent perfectly what the cafe stood for.

We went for my partners birthday and they were more than happy to accommodate for a T total sober veggie and did so with style. Excellent drinks suggestions, excellent taster menu, excellent extremely friendly staff. A wonderful experience to be very proud of. Thanks a lot!

Overpriced terrible food. Really disrespectful and pretentious staff. This place is such a disaster. The food was surprisingly so bad and tasteless. The cocktails we ordered weren't good either. The waiter was both unhelpful and rude. When we complained to the management they disregarded our issues with the food and service and rushed us out. I will never return to this establishment or recommend this restaurant to anyone. There are so many better restaurants for quality in Vienna. This is an absolute SKIP. Save your money. Go somewhere else. 👋 Here are some of the dishes we were served. It looked good but tasted awful. The butter was the only thing good.

Insanely good. Great wine selection, but the first white wine for me was great!

Grabbed a seat at the bar here earlier this year and had a really nice time. The food was fantastic and they also have a really impressive selection of natty wines. And, although it was my first time there, the staff made me feel very welcome and cozy. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Vienna.

Café Kandl feels like gentrification’s final form: beautifully lit, perfectly plated, but oddly soulless. It’s as if someone read Kinfolk once and built a restaurant around the aesthetic. The food was genuinely well-cooked and the flavours thoughtful, but the “funky” wines weren’t that funky, and the service was a touch too cool for warmth. €160 for two — bread, butter, one starter, two mains and four drinks — stylish, yes, but style alone doesn’t create a vibe (or justify the bill).

Writing a review of this restaurant is tricky. My initial experience was a turn off as they offered me 2 of the worst tables (one right next to where the bussed dishes are stored). Ultimately I was seated on the outdoor terrace and had a great time but the first impression was that I, as a solo diner, was not as welcome as couples or other larger groups. However, that all changed as the table next to me (who were well-known to the staff), started chitchatting with me. Ultimately, it was all good but as a frequent solo traveler and someone who dines out solo a lot, it does impact how I feel about a restaurant when I am made to feel less than welcome. But that aside, the food was good especially the sardines.
