Choosing Michelin Star Restaurants in Vienna 2024

Michelin star restaurants Vienna: Silvio NickolIf you like Michelin star restaurants Vienna is holding a few gems. Increasingly, our love for hearty local cuisine has been making space for the creative delights of fine gourmet dining.
In their gourmet restaurants our Michelin star chefs have revolutionized and lightened up Viennese cuisine. Now, Wiener SchnitzelPalatschinken and other fried dishes get by on the bare minimum of frying oil; cream sauces are either replaced or lightened up with vegetable broths; Meat cuts have slimmed down. Finally, bread and potato dumplings have changed proportions with vegetables cooked firm to the bite.

Michelin star restaurants Vienna: Steirereck dessert
Most top chefs deliberately source their ingredients from high quality Austrian farms. They use Austria's rich variety of home grown vegetables, mushrooms, meat, bread and dairy products.
Heinz Reitbauer, chef of Austria's best gourmet restaurant, the Steirereck im Stadtpark, gets his vegetables from carefully selected suppliers. Among them is the Higher School for Gardening Education in Schonbrunn Palace, a private grower of dandelions, a supplier from Vienna's Rochus market, and a specialist supplier for wild vegetables.

"For me, the producers are the new important stars", he says "they are often the roots for a new trend." (source: Falstaff)

Michelin Star Restaurants Vienna: The Big Five

With fifteen Michelin star restaurants Vienna offers a sizeable selection of gourmet restaurants serving Austrian cuisine (there are others serving international food). They are either independently located or form part of hotels. As of 2019, we list one three star, four two star and 10 one star Michelin restaurants.

michelin star restaurants Vienna: restaurant Amador 1. Restaurant Amador (three stars): Based in a large vaulted wine cellar, Austria's only restaurant with three Michelin stars seduces anyone up for truly imaginative, quality yet simply composed dishes. Since 2016, Germany-born Spanish Juan Amador redefines fine dining in Vienna  with daringly wonderful creations. Most of the menu won't fit into any regional cuisine, except a few regular nods to his native Spain.
Thanks to Amador's close collaboration with local wine king Fritz Wieninger you can rely on a top wine experience, too.

Michelin star restaurants Vienna: Mraz und Sohn5. Mraz und Sohn (two stars):

Definitely for those who like breaking ground is this Viennese family business serving highly creative food. Above all, the kitchen wildly experiments with Viennese food: expect things such as octopus with greaves dumplings and chicoree, or breast and thymus from veal in egg nogg with licorice cabbage and truffled rice.
More than a decade ago, third-generation Lukas Mraz learned the ropes with Dutch cooking wizard Johnnie Boer. The legere ambiente made of a mix of country style, contemporary chic and a dash of pop art seems to have organically grown over the years. Mraz and Sohn is located across the Danube in the 20th district.
