Whenever we travel, we always eat local food. We even do this when we travel within the United States. So, no restaurant chains for us … except Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but that’s a story for another day.
While in Vienna the the summer of 2008, as usual we eat at a variety of places, “mom and pop” owned restaurants to 4 star gourmet. One may think that the 4 star restaurants are always the best food, but this has not always been our experience; however, they tend to have the best service though.
As for Vienna, this is a must “eat at” restaurant — Mörwald im Ambassador. This restaurant is definitely one of the high end restaurants and is located in the Hotel Ambassador. Not only is the food to die for, but the service is excellent … even by pampered American standards. You have a captain and co-captain ensuring that your dining experience is excellent. The food is Viennese, but not necessarily traditional. You can either order the 3 or 5 course dinner or order a la carte. My foie gras was excellent … and grilled. I have never had foie gras grilled.
While not inexpensive, the meal and the experience will be worth it. As an aside, don’t forget to make reservations. We were smart enough to do this, but also wear a business coat/jacket if you are a gent. I was not smart enough to do this. I felt a little under-dressed.
Enjoy your dinner …
