CHEZ BERNARD Restaurant et Bar

Stopped by around 10:30 on a Sunday night for a drink and had a really pleasant experience. The bar is located at the top of the hotel and has a lovely atmosphere—beautiful decor, a refined and elegant space that makes you feel relaxed as soon as you walk in. The service stood out as exceptional. The waiters were very attentive and quick to respond, always there when needed without being overbearing. We had some wine and a few cocktails. Their house cocktail selection leans toward lower-alcohol options, clearly designed more as aperitifs before dinner. Still, we asked for some classic cocktails instead, and the bartender did a great job preparing them. They weren’t anything groundbreaking, but they were very enjoyable and well made. Prices were fair for the setting, around €15 per drink, which felt reasonable considering the quality and service. Overall, a great spot to unwind in a beautiful setting. I’d definitely return and would recommend it to others looking for a relaxed drink in an elegant space.

Went here with my sister for dinner because it was highly recommended. We did not have any reservations and they were able to seat us promptly. The ambiance is absolutely stunning. It gives a classy and moody vibe. The food was ok but I was not blown away and the portions were small like most high end restaurants. I had a French 75 and the sea bass. I said to my sister, where’s the mashed potatoes lol. Otherwise it’s worth a try.

We were not wowed by the food, mostly because of the flies. Different types of flies swarmed us and other patrons during our meal in the main restaurant. At first, servers didn't believe us but eventually we were moved. The dirty flies still followed us. This left for a very unappetizing dinner. We ordered all sorts of seafood dishes and were not so impressed. The mussels were in a tasty sauce but the pommes frites were served cold and tasteless. The other seafood dishes were forgettable. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the bread and butter. The ambiance of the downstairs restaurant is very cool and chic, and the rooftop boasts a phenomenal view of Vienna, but the food is just fine and will have you wanting something more. I hope something is done about those nasty flies!

High above Vienna’s rooftops, Chez Bernard offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere — romantic, pleasantly quiet, with a balance of elegance and ease. Their service was exceptional — genuinely welcoming and effortlessly attentive. The city view adds charm, though partially obscured by imposing columns. Aperitifs set a graceful tone: the Muri “Passing Clouds” (non-alcoholic) was delicately complex, while the Kir Royal offered classic sparkle. The standout Peach Bernard cocktail — bourbon, walnut oil, peach espuma, vanilla, and lemon — was both creative and indulgent. Starters impressed: the Figs au Gratin combined chèvre, rosemary, honey, and nuts into a warm, textured dish that felt both rustic and elegant. The vegan gazpacho was crisp and refreshing, a perfect counterbalance. For mains, the roasted trout shone with lobster butter, braised tomato, and sauce rouille — subtle yet luxurious. The grilled broccoli (vegan) with muhammara, cashews, and a wild rice croustillant was bold, flavorful, and satisfying. Finally can be said: A dinner at Chez Bernard feels like a quiet celebration — of flavor, atmosphere, and care. With its thoughtful service and well-composed menu, it invites guests to slow down and savor the moment. A rooftop destination well worth returning to.

I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, making each bite a delight. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with cozy lighting and stylish decor that created the perfect setting for a great evening. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. If you’re looking for a place with outstanding food, a great vibe, and top-notch service, this is definitely the spot to visit! Highly recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in Vienna! My fiancé and I popped into Chez Bernard just for a coffee, and we absolutely fell in love with the place. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the staff are genuinely friendly, and the coffee was perfect—rich, smooth, and beautifully presented. While we were there, a lovely lady kindly showed us the hotel’s rooms and bedrooms, and we were completely mesmerized. Elegant, comfortable, and beautifully designed—they instantly made us dream about staying there. Next time we’re back in Vienna, we’ll definitely be booking a room and, of course, coming for their brunch! If you’re in Vienna and want a spot that feels both stylish and warm, with amazing coffee, tempting brunch, and stunning accommodation, Chez Bernard is an absolute must.

We had a good time at Chez Bernard. I had high expectations for this restaurant as it was listed on the Michelin Guide. Overall, I recommended visiting (they do brunch and lunch) with a stunning interior. Lovely welcome at the door. Honestly, nothing truly blew me away, which is why I didn’t give 5 stars. The service was fine. The food was good but also nothing excellent. Perhaps we came on a very busy afternoon or chose the wrong dishes. Lots of dogs in the restaurant, although that seems to be very normal in Vienna. I’d love to go back and try their brunch - it seems people were loving that! Will try again in the future and see how things change :)

Unfortunately I didn’t take more pictures of their food (I was too hungry for that). Their tartar was amazing, almost match their fries. The mussels we shared were not as good but still nice and the rest up to expectations (main stream but of really high quality). Ambience its upscale, very nice design and setting, only downside its the service its always in a rush trying to push for more order (or for you to leave?) so it stresses a bit.
