Specht

Must eat when in old Town Vienna. Had dinner with my husband and we both Loved the place! The food was very delicious, the staffs were all very friendly and helpful. They also recommended and did a good job explaining the different dishes. We had the escargot, gyoza, golden trout, beef short ribs, and 2 desserts everything was well seasoned. The ambiance has a relaxing vibe and clean. Unfortunately we were not able to try their tasting menu since it wasn’t available tonight. Overall. This restaurant deserves their Michelin star.

The most exotic flavour combinations coupled with warm and friendly staff. We selected the sturgeon and the wild boar as main courses and you can see my our polished plates, the food was nothing short of delectable. For desert we daringly chose asparagus pannacotta, with diced strawberries and basilico ice sorbet. It was unbelievably refreshing and the perfect way to finish off our meal. Couldn’t recommend more !!

Great service and quality of ingredients. I must say that the flavour wasn't that impressive for a Michelin star restaurant but that could have due to my high expectations. The duck was good but not at the point where the meat melts in the mouth. The schnitzel was amazingly done. 👌 The two happy surprises of the meal was the snail with cheese with a great earthly flavour a good reminder of my childhood and the desert mouse for the unusual presentation. It was a good experience but not a Michelin like I was expecting maybe that's the fault of my previous culinary experiences in Baske and Catalan country cuisine in Spain.

The best restaurant in our Vienna trip! Service, ambience and food were all very fine. Friendly and caring stuff, very elegant decorations and the food was the best surprise! Small and carefully chosen menu, one can see the kitchen puts quality over number. The price was absolutely fair for the amazing quality we received. Worth mentioning is the Melanzani entry, which was among the best entries I ever ate! Wine choice also excellent. The only dark cloud in our otherwise perfect experience was the neighbour table, where two men were very loud and inconvenient about very personal matters, but this small inconvenience did not made our amazing night in this charming restaurant any worse. Would absolutely recommend it for anyone looking for the perfect Schnitzel and fine Austrian dining :)

We enjoyed our time here, but it’s a place that is good yet kind of lacks something in each aspect. The atmosphere didn’t feel particularly cozy, despite an overall pretty setting, and I wish the lights were a bit less bright. The service was good, but again, the staff didn’t quite add up to the atmosphere; they were kind of too cold. As for the food, we had mixed thoughts. The deer ham was really nice, as well as the octopus, which was seamlessly cooked to achieve a really soft texture and had an amazing smoky flavor. However, the Spatzle was disappointing and rather lacked flavor and I wish there were more cheese. The salad dressing it was served with tasted as if it was from a supermarket jar – greasy but lacked taste as well.
