Mama Liu & Sons

Low-lit dumpling specialist Mama Liu & Sons is always packed with diners for a reason.  The food is incredible and the price point is fantastic.

Silvio Nickol Gourmet Restaurant

Owner of 2 Michelin stars, Silvio Nickol Gourmet is widely regarded as, quite possibly, the best restaurant in all of Austria, let alone, Vienna.  The tasting menus are opulent and expertly executed with simply perfect wine pairings.

Restaurant Steireck

Arguably one of the best one or two restaurants in Vienna, Restaurant Steireck serves classic Viennese dishes fused with contemporary Austrian and international modern cuisine.  If you’re a wino, you’ll be excited by their wine cellar that runs 35,000 bottles deep.

Zum Schwarzen Kamel

Zum Schwarzen Kameel is a traditional Viennese restaurant which also features a full bar and patisserie on the premises.  Come in for a drink, grab some quintessential Austrian dishes, like schnitzel and apfelstrudel. 

There is also a shop next door that sells homemade goods like pasta, sauces, oils and chocolates. 

The Palmenhaus

A bit of a let down, Vienna’s world-famous botanical greenhouse that overlooks the Burggarten gardens, was a bit disappointing in our humble opinion.  It’s worth stopping in because its so iconic, but I would not suggest anything more than a coffee or a small breakfast.
