DO & CO Albertina

A convenient location to have dinner after visiting the Albertina museum. We had the grilled salmon, beef salad and a side of broccolini. I also had a 0.5L orange juice that came in a small jug. The fine dining area was full so we sat in the casual dining area. The cakes in the glass cabinet do look very tempting.

I expected more from this brand and left feeling disappointed. The cakes are passable, but the rest of the food and drinks don’t live up to the same standard. Service is acceptable, the staff are polite but the kitchen is extremely slow. Waiting half an hour for a simple salad is hard to justify. I was also unhappy with the orange juice. It seems to be prepared in advance, which affects the taste it becomes overly acidic and sugary. Advice: Fresh juice should either be made on the spot or clearly communicated if it’s not. Overall, while the desserts are enjoyable, the experience doesn’t match expectations.

We ate on the terrace, which was delightful. Our server(s) was attentive and very friendly. The food was delicious! I recommend the tagliatelle, amazing!

During renovation of Do&Co at Stephansplatz this is a nice alternative! Menu is smaller, but quality of food is fair. Friendly Staff and cool terrasse

A Subpar Experience Saved by Excellent Management Our visit during today’s busy lunch service started off on a subpar note but was ultimately redeemed by the restaurant’s exceptional young manager. The tables were set with bread plates, suggesting a starter, but the bread itself didn’t arrive (despite hungrily asking) until the main courses were served—about 45 minutes later. Thankfully, the beautiful views of the surrounding royal gardens helped make the wait more bearable. Unfortunately, when the bread did arrive, it came with a piece of shipping tape still attached—a small but telling sign of the quality control issues we encountered. My steak, ordered medium rare, was served well done. Perhaps it was my mistake, as the chef’s note was that the center was perfect (maybe ignoring the dry edges). While portions were small, the flavors were very good. The true highlight of our experience was the restaurant manager, who jumped into action on the front lines—offering attentive, genuine service despite the hectic lunch rush. Her professionalism and grace under pressure were remarkable, deserving a fully staffed team of properly trained servers in order to enable the service levels one desires to expected from Do&Co. To our surprise, she later presented us with a beautiful gesture to make up for the inconveniences—an unexpected act that could easily serve as a textbook example of outstanding customer service.
