O boufés

One of the most delightful dining experiences I had while in Vienna! We ordered two appetizers, two main courses, and a dessert and every dish was exceptional. The food was flavorful and beautifully presented, while the service was warm and seamless. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant !

Unfortunately, our dinner at O bouefs last evening was quite a letdown. From the start, things didn’t go smoothly – we had to wait over 20 minutes just to place our order, which set the tone for the rest of the evening. The service throughout was inattentive and slow, with long waiting times between courses that made the entire experience frustrating. While the food itself was well-prepared and flavorful, there were major issues with the portions and menu clarity. I chose a main dish from the tasting menu – something they assured us was possible. However, the portion remained tasting-menu size, which is simply not adequate when ordered as a standalone main course. To add to that, another main dish we ordered – the Schupfnudeln with truffle, chives, and yolk – was missing the truffle entirely. Not only was it absent visually, but there wasn’t even a hint of truffle aroma or flavor, which made the dish feel incomplete and misleading based on the description. Given the reputation and price point, we expected a far better experience. Unfortunately, what could have been a great meal was overshadowed by poor service and disappointing execution.

Not sure why this restaurant is even mentioned in the Michelin guide, an absolute waste of time. The food is nothing exiting or interesting, the main dish came in different sizes, one missing the sauce. The bread comes without butter, they did not even ask if we wanted some. The wine list is quite impressive, however, the Santorini wine we chose was not available (why keep it on the menu if it's not available???). The service needs a lot of work - hectic, sporadic and not attentive. The waitress kept asking for a tip and even forgot to give back 20 euro to the table next to ours, so the guests had to ask for their change. The tables are so close to one another that it feels like you are eating at a long table with strangers - makes it super difficult to service. The bill came with a white wine, we had rose. When I questioned it it took a very long time for the waitress to bring the wine list to show me that the price was the same. It is not a question of price but a matter of principle that the bill reflects the correct items consumed. Overall - plenty of other restaurants in Vienna, this one is worth to skip!

Tough experience. We had a reservation and were some of the only guests when we arrived at 6pm. Their online menu suggests there is both a tasting menu and a la carte options, but apparently for the week we were there only the tasting menu was an option. We generally try to eat vegetarian, but decided to go with it - I just wish this had been more obvious on the site. Some of the food was very good, though we were served a dish with an honestly inedible leek - the center was wooden, and impossible to cut or chew through. A chicken dish later in the night was pretty uninspired. But generally I enjoyed the food. However, the service was just so slow. It took us nearly 3 hours despite it being pretty empty for most of the evening. One of the servers was clearly learning, but didn't have the support he needed. The wine pours were anemic, which felt particularly annoying when it felt like they were trying to sell more glasses. Overall I found the servers to be friendly. But it didn't make up for some major culinary fails, the time spent, and the expense.

Everything was delicious, especially the main course was very well. We loved the olive oil

When I checked the Michelin guide, I found this bistro. Luckily I have booked the table for 2 and turned out the very satisfied experience. Sometimes I thought Vienna doesn’t have much gourmet restaurants but finally I met one. How they decorate the outdoor seating, the creativity of the food seasoning and ingredient. The wine list is also a wow. Not too much items to stress you out but elegantly selected. It was beautiful Friday night to share a meal with friends and loved one :)

The worst experience in a restaurant ever. Very rude attitude from the owner, a lady that has nothing to do with service. Booked a table, they did not provide it, and we sit to eat at the bar, which honestly was not comfortable. After a while this lady continued to bring other people on this place that was only with 5 long chairs and was very rude asking us to move ore squeeze. Meanwhile we eating. As we did not accept the fact that we cannot squeeze more as there is no place, she printed the invoice and said that we must leave. After noticing that not the food was arrived, she took the invoice back. Our dinner was ruined. I promised her that I will write a long review about that, and than she started yelling in the middle of the place. Crazy people whom should not be given the possibility to be in service sector, imagine to have also a Michelin logo attached at their door. No apologies, nothing. Worst experience ever

It was recommended by the next restaurant when we call to book. The food in general was below expectations. Very basic taste with little variety especially in appetizers. The place was almost empty. Nothing much to repeat again.

We ate here on a Saturday evening, with a reservation for two at 7pm. On arrival, we were quickly seated and offered water. We started by sharing three starters: two cold (smoked catfish, tuna) and one warm (mushrooms). For our mains, we had veal and shrimp. We tried both desserts, a pear and ice cream with a chocolate crisp and a type of cannoli. All in all, we had a nice evening and the food was interesting and different. It was a little noisy because the space is a little small and the tables are close together. Although we likely won't remember the food, it was still pleasant. Perhaps the best bite was the mushroom starter.

Such a wonderful experience that started with our server who was charming and extremely knowledgeable. The food was exquisite to look at and delicious to eat. Amazing and unique wines that were paired perfectly with our meal.

The subsidiary of one of Austria's best restaurants run by iconic Austrian-Greek Two-Michelin-Star Chef Konstantin Filippou. A small and cosy place, O boufés is a kind of upscale Greek wine bar that also serves small plates. We primarily went there for the food, also with the big Chef's name behind, but were a bit unimpressed by the food. It has been very nice though, but not what the place (and pricing) suggests. Some dishes were really good (like the shrimp saganaki) but sometimes we were just not sure. A bit more flavor and salt wouldn't be wrong.

I went there with a group of people, the place has been around for a while and I was curious to try it out. It is labeled as the "tapas bar" connected to Filipou's fine dining restaurant which is next door to O Boufés. Unfortunately the food was highly overpriced and not seasoned at all - boring would be a euphemism. We had the artichoke, the teriyaki pork and a mixed plate of charcuterie with bread and butter. The artichoke's heart was raw and completely unseasoned, the pork was average and its taste was mainly dominated by teriyaki sauce. On top of that the waiters have a stupid way to talk to guests; let me give you some advice, just because you have a tattoo on your lower arm does not entitle you to act like you're doing me a favour by serving me. When leaving the restaurant I pointed out that the food was a disappointment, I was told that the place mainly focuses on wine - ok guys, I don't think I need to add more.
