Said the Butcher to the Cow

Top choice in Vienna


Not only does this wildly popular hang-out have a brilliant name, it serves knock-out brioche-bun burgers (chicken teriyaki with wasabi mayo; black tiger prawns with bok choy; black-bean patty with lotus root), chargrilled steaks and house-speciality cheesecakes. Better yet, it moonlights as a gin bar with 30 gin varieties and seven different tonics.
