Like a blast of nouveau alpine chic from the mountains, Humboldt keeps the vibe cool yet cosy, with exposed beams, a modern wall-of-glass fireplace, retro pendant lights and bistro seating. There’s a good buzz, with locals flocking here for Austrian wines and all-organic, season-driven dishes such as cream of wild garlic soup and Tafelspitz (boiled beef with apple-horseradish and chives).
