Steirereck im Stadtpark

Top choice in Schloss Belvedere to the Canal


Heinz Reitbauer is at the culinary helm of this two-starred Michelin restaurant, beautifully lodged in a 20th-century former dairy building in the leafy Stadtpark. His tasting menus are an exuberant feast, fizzing with natural, integral flavours that speak of a chef with exacting standards. Wine pairing is an additional €79/89 (six/seven courses).

The seasons play a definitive role, but you might begin, say, with young beets with wild lettuce, chia and eucalyptus, followed by milk-fed veal with melon, aubergine and sorrel. Be sure to save an inch for the legendary cheese trolley or delectable desserts such as milk and hay with raspberries. Service is predictably flawless, reservations are essential.
