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.

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.

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.

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

Had dinner here and overall it was a good experience, though not without its flaws. The food is well-prepared and certainly above average, but it sometimes feels like the kitchen is trying a bit too hard to reach fine dining territory. The flavors can be a bit too intense and tend toward the one-dimensional side, lacking some balance or nuance. Service, on the other hand, was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very professional. We ordered wine, and while they didn’t decant it immediately, they were quick to do so when we asked, and handled everything with care. The place has a very chic and hip vibe, fitting right into the atmosphere of Vienna’s 7th district. It’s stylish, buzzing, and clearly a popular spot—on our visit, it was fully booked even on a weeknight, so making a reservation is definitely a must. Prices are on the high side, and to be honest, it feels a bit too expensive for what it is. But if you’re not concerned about budget and you enjoy a trendy, fashionable dining experience, it’s worth a visit.

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.

I had high expectations for the place after reading all the good reviews. Tried three dishes. They were creative and fun and not bad at all, however, nothing really stood out that would make me want to visit again for the price I paid. Pretty heavy and some flavors I just didn’t get (maybe trying to be too creative?)could barely taste the freshness of the excellent food ingredients they used.

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.
