Steirereck

This was truly an exceptional experience at a three-Michelin-star restaurant. Each dish was beautifully presented, and the creativity behind the menu brought us many delightful surprises throughout the evening. The service met the highest fine dining standards: professional, attentive, and perfectly timed without ever feeling intrusive. The atmosphere was warm and intimate, creating a sense of privacy that made the experience even more special. The restaurant is also conveniently located near the city center. I will certainly return.

Unparalleled white glove dining experience. Emailed and mentioned it was our anniversary and they decorated the table. Told them I was surprising my wife with her sister - who had just flown to Vienna - at the end of the end of the meal, and they got her a seat and a glass of prosecco to toast with us. This is an insane amount of hospitality. We were the last table in the restaurant at the end of the night and I honestly thought they would have let us sleep there if we weren't so full from the six course and wine pairing. Every course was delicious edible art. The explainer cards with each course were a great souvenir and also incredibly informative and useful in contextualizing each dish within contemporary Austrian cuisine canon. Their sommelier (or resident wine expert) was well informed on the pairings and generous with pours. If you do the six course, your dining party isn't required to all make a unified choice in which course to omit, they adjust around you which - again - insane detail orientation. The restaurant seems to be designed to dampen noise and make every table feel intimate. There's no music but the ambience still feels warm and not silent and sterile, which I found refreshing. Amazing things - bread trolley, cheese course and the cheese cabinets on wheels (do the cheese course) Only note, the little chocolate surprise tart was delicious. I wish it was on the menu. One of the best and most memorable meals I've ever eaten. The Steirereck team deserves any and all accolades they have and will likely earn. Thank you.

Wow. What a 3.5 hrs of delight. My faith in the Michelin 3 stars rating has been restored (had a previous bad experience in Modena). Definitely should be rated much higher than the 4.4 Google reviews. The tasting menu with wine pairing was exquisite. Thank goodness we chose the 6 vs 7 courses. I really like the option of choosing each course. Funny note: I found out my wife and I had 100% opposite tastes. We should have skipped lunch as the 6 courses were more than enough with the bread samples and complimentary pre & post amuse-bouche. BTW, the service was excellent with my compliments to the teamwork.

Absolutely delighted with our visit to Steirereck! My gf and I had our 5-year anniversary, and we decided to celebrate it with a 3-star experience :) From beginning to end, we were very happy with the whole service, taste journey, and overall ambiance. It is a very pricey experience, but worth the try if one enjoys high Michelin-level restaurants. All the dishes were a success, and the extras, such as the moving bread cart with its own sommelier, were also a memorable part of the 3–4 hour evening. The service was excellent and not too pushy or excessive. They even had a detail written on our table for our anniversary, which was also a smile factor for us! Well-deserved 3 stars, and I wish the team continued success in this regard.

We made a reservation here after seeing this place listed in the Michelin Guide, since we generally enjoy trying higher end spots like this. Overall, while there were parts of the meal we enjoyed, this isn’t a place we’d recommend for a typical lunch or dinner. That said, if you’re a fan of fancy cheeses and want to sample a variety, it can still be worth a stop. The location is quite nice, overlooking the park and river, though it isn’t immediately obvious and you do need to know where you’re going. Inside, the restaurant feels upscale and modern, with a very sleek look and lots of white throughout the space, but some of it was a little scuffed. The service was decent and there were plenty of servers on the floor, and everyone we interacted with was friendly. Some were more attentive than others. We ordered a glass of wine, the mixed starters, the schnitzel, and a cheese plate. The wine was excellent. It was crisp and very enjoyable. The mixed starters included veal sweetbreads with salad, grilled sturgeon, and a ravioli. The veal was tender, but the breading lacked seasoning. The accompanying endive salad was pretty good, even though we’re not usually endive fans. The grilled sturgeon was cooked well and served in a nice sauce, though it was very red pepper forward, which is something to be aware of. The ravioli was the standout of the three. It was flavorful and served in a really nice sauce. The schnitzel, unfortunately, was a disappointment. While the meat itself was cooked well, the breading didn’t adhere properly and wasn’t very crispy. We had noticeably better schnitzel elsewhere in Vienna. The potato salad that came with it, however, was decent. It is more of a traditional salad with potatoes mixed in. It was nicely dressed and flavorful. We also ordered the goat, sheep, and cow cheese plate. Overall, it was good, and we enjoyed most of the cheeses. The blue cheese was a bit too strong for our taste, but the plate was well rounded and served with bread and excellent quince jam, which really elevated the experience. In the end, the cheeses and the ravioli were highlights, but beyond that, the food didn’t quite justify the price or the Michelin hype for us. Worth considering if cheese is your main focus, but otherwise there are better value options in Vienna.

I've never been to a place quite like this one. This is fine dining. And I was so excited that they offered a 6 and 7 course all vegetarian menu. And not a single miss of all 7 courses! Typically the vegetarian menu is just bland and it's just the dish without meat. But not here. It was thoughtfully crafted meals with a respect for the fruits and vegetables prepared for the vegetarian eater. I was very impressed. Sadly you pay the same price, but I was not bothered, as each meal was perfect. And I did not leave hungry! The staff was incredibly attentive during our entire 3 hour dining experience. And it didn't even feel like 3 hours! The courses were perfectly timed and we never felt as if we waited in between. This is our second time at this restaurant, and it will not be the last. Thank you!

Visited Stiereck with high expectations given its three Michelin stars. The location is lovely and the restaurant itself is quite beautiful, with a pleasant setting overlooking the park. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the rating. The service was polite but felt amateurish and lacked the precision and confidence you expect at this level. More importantly, and having been to many 3 star Michelin restaurants, the food was nowhere near three-star Michelin standard , technically fine, but not memorable, innovative, or refined enough to justify the hype. Overall, a nice place in a good location, but disappointing for a restaurant carrying such a prestigious rating.

I ordered a 7-course from the menu. We ended up with 9 courses (one opening complementary appetizer and one closing complementary desert). The food is good, but I was not amazed. This was my first 3-star Michelin, and so I had high expectations, but the food was underwhelming for a 3-star restaurant.

Absolutely amazing experience. Came here in for lunch over the holidays and decided to start with a cheese course followed by the soups and split an entree. To start off sitting in the park facing the river Ade for a great ambiance for the meal. Our server was very knowledgeable and the staff selected an amazing cheese platter. We had the champagne and rose, both complementing the entire meal. The soups were both rich and classic. Our fish entree was quite good, and the desserts were both fantastic. Stayed nearly 3 hours all-in-all. Definitely an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.

From the family behind 2* Steirereck im Stadtpark Meierei is the more casual offshoot with waterside views, great service and classic recipes created with top-quality Ingredients by the skilled hands of Chef Heinz Reitbauer and staff. Open at 08h00 on weekdays and an hour later Saturday with three services daily, the menu shifting seasonally, guests entering Meierei will find a similar color palate to the gourmet Restaurant upstairs while a terrace facing Stadtpark illuminates the room through floor-to-ceiling glass. Alongside the Wienfluss with over 100 matured Cheeses and a bountiful larder, plus Bread from the Steirereck Bakery, lunch for most will occur in three courses, an Appetizer of Beef Consommé nearly so complex as Reitbauer's previously tasted Wedding Soup while "Fish Sticks" of Trout are crunchy and delicious alone or dragged through creamy Currants. Overly-generous with portions despite a Bib Gourmand pricepoint, the tally for two under €100 without Alcohol, Entrees include a tender Pork Chop grilled beneath Hummus and fried bits while traditional Veal Beuscherl picks up lots of flavor from Offal that is mellowed by Marjoram and hearty Dumplings. Encourage to order Streudel fresh from the oven at 13h00, but wise enough to request Kaiserschmarrn as Pork and Veal were served, choosing the better of Meierei's Desserts comes down to personal preference, though the respective toppings of Housemade Vanilla Curd and Plum Jam should be added liberally.

Nice atmophere, adequate food, TERRIBLE service. Somehow gave two different breads with meat in them to my cleary communicated vegetarian spouse. Did not take my order, just walked away while leaving me with a menu, then assumed that I wanted the same thing as my spouse while never asking. Seriously, just walked away while I was ordering. Also got drink order wrong. Waited for many courses, including a completely melted dessert. Had to ask for the check three times, and the waiter in the middle of the evening actually glared at me. Wines were good, hence two stars instead of one. Much too expensive, go elsewhere.

Came here for a Sunday evening dinner. We got the beef goulash soup, and the wiener schnitzel. The beef was a little tough and the wiener schnitzel didn't have much taste. Was expecting more from the taste of the food. The one standout was the six different types of ice cream which came on a cold plate.

I had a lovely breakfast here and everything here is nicely prepared. A bit pricey but the ambience by the park makes it worth it.

Good service and well prepared dishes to excite you in a nice, relaxed setting. We had the Steirereck and Meierei Breakfast, which came with a broad arrangement of dishes. What stood out were the poached egg, and the leek pancake of the Steirereck Breakfast. The fish tartare/ fruit combination was as well an eye opener, as I had not expected the flavors to come together as well as they did. All in all it was a pleasantly memorable brunch!

My favorite place in Vienna for breakfast, more than 100 kind of cheese, the food is always fresh and delicious, I recommend the egg with pumpkin seed oil very beautiful place, you sit in d middle of the nature, good service I like the home made semmel. I gave 4 stars just because I don't like the menu of the lunch

Read so much about this place that their food are great and delicious, but was absolutely disappointed with the quality of food. We waited for nearly an hour for our main course and they end up being mediocre. For the price, I would expect food of great quality and food that is out of the ordinary. We will never return to this restaurant again the next time we return to Wien.

I remember coming here a few years ago and having the absolute best schnitzel in town. Unfortunately this was not the case this time around. My family and I came here for lunch on a Saturday and they were able to offer us a table on the balcony, which I recommend getting if weather permits. I had the beef tartare for starter, which was rather bland but acceptable. The schnitzel however was not. The meat was too thick and the breading was not puffy enough. Worst of all, there was some water on the plate, resulting in a soggy schnitzel. The rest of my family was also underwhelmed by their dishes. The atmosphere is really quite pleasant, especially if the weather is nice and you get to sit on the balcony. There are only a handful of places in Vienna where you dine in the middle of a park. Sadly the quality of food here is not what it use to be. I had one of the worst schnitzels here and that is just not acceptable for a restaurant associated with the Steirereck name.

This place was fantastic: the white wine, the hare, pumpkin soup and the veal-all excellent and very nicely presented. The waiter was friendly and attentive and the restaurant had a nice homely feel. The only thing that was bad was the strong smell of cheese as they had a cabinet of cheese at the entrance when you walk in. Other than that top notch!

Very nice location and posh athmosphere. One of the nice places in Vienna for breakfast with broad selection of combo platters. I didn't think it was very expensive for breakfast, except for the small glass of orange juice which was 5 euros.

SUPER POSH is the best way to describe this place. I felt under dressed as soon as i walked into this place. I a, told they have the best cheese selection in Vienna, however i did not try them as it is a super expensive place to eat. For a coffee it is ok the price is normal, but make sure you have lots of money if you want to eat. HOWEVER i did see what they severed and it does look 5 star food, and the couple seated next to us gave the food a high commendation. Therefore it should be in your list of pleasurable experiences when you can afford it, but i am just a simple boy with a small budget. The BEST thing about this place is the view, as it is in Stadtpark and you can see into the park while there. very nice indeed. My Personal points system out of 10, standard for Vienna is 5. Location: 8 Atmosphere: 8 Decor: 7 Size: 4 Non Smoking Area: yes Coffee temperature(*2): 5 Coffee taste: 5 Service(*1): 5 *1=(Standard in Vienna is 5 on my scale) this is based on that you get serviced fast but you have to work hard to pay at the end) *2=(Standard in Vienna is 5 on my scale) I always have a Caffè latte as my control coffee. My coffee partner always has a Mélange.

Simply.... WOW! My wife found this restaurant in the NY Times, if I remember correctly. She checked on dinner and lunch reservations but they're booked until at least July. So, we decided to try it for breakfast. We were incredibly surprised, in a good way. The service was fantastic, the food was pretty unbelievable. If/when we ever make it back to Vienna, we'll be stopping here again.

great aesthetics and relaxing location in the park. Try the tradituonal kaiserschmarr !

Fantastic dining experience, as I would expect given the "big sister" upstairs. Incredible service. Incredible deep, nuanced flavors. Incredible ambience and food presentation. I tried the appetizer sampler (beetroot pockets, grilled sturgeon, pork), veal beuscherl, goulash, and 3 desserts (apple strudel, cheese strudel, and kaiserschmarrn). Desserts were good (not memorable) but the savory dishes were all truly fantastic, memorable.

Popped here for brunch on Saturday. No space at the tables but the very friendly maître d' explained that I could perch on the bar and order. Had an excellent apple and basil juice with an ok latte to drink, with the Meierei breakfast, which was excellent (if a little too much). I'm not a big omelette man but the omelette tart was divine, salmon good and yoghurt with granola excellent. The cake wasn't to my taste but the cheese more than made up for it.

The Meierei is the bistro type restaurant from Steirereck. With Steirereck being the best restaurant in Austria expectations on Meierei are high. The menu offers some Austrian staples like Gulasch, Wiener Schnitzel or Beuschel but the true highlight is the cheese selection. You can get cheese boards that will blow your mind. We went for a small Gulasch and Beuschel followed by a cheese board for 2. Everything was just great, and the prices are more than reasonable for the quality that is offered. Already looking forward to my next visit.

We went here for dinner one night, when Steirereck was too busy. This place is super cool, the quality of the food is really good and the service was also top notch! I feel that this place really represents Austrian food in a nice way, and the Austrian wine list is also something we have become fond of. I really recommend the free-range goose, it was amazingly tender. And of course, as you understand when you walk in the restaurant, you have to top it all of with a selection of cheeses. We will be back!

We plowed through a blizzard to walk to Meierei, and we're so happy we did. The cheese plate was delectable, and the grilled fish was very nicely prepared. The one drawback is that the service was quite slow (but I'm from NYC, so the standards may be different)...otherwise a great meal!

What a great place to start a cross Atlantic flight with lost luggage at this place Viennese Brunch was a good call. Great coffee and drinks menu.
