KenScale: 8.0/10 Visit: June 2026…read more For our last night in Vienna, my wife Jun and I visited Pramerl and the Wolf not too far from our hotel. When choosing this place, I liked the proposition of a modern, smart tasting menu inside a small space that was formerly a pub, with a high-quality wine list to match the food. The restaurant certainly delivered with that proposition with many dishes that we liked. It is, though, one of the few places where we felt hungry even after the tasting menu with over ten dishes. Perhaps it didn't help that we barely ate anything all day touring different spots in the city (and Vienna is by no means a cheap city). To give credit to the restaurant, there was no bad dish from the menu (we had the Early Bird option at 6 p.m. at €160 per person). A series of snacks showed the high quality of the kitchen's execution, such as a delicious bite of celery tart with scallop and goose liver as well as tuna and watermelon skewers. The best one from the snacks was the beautifully plated tart with beef tartare, zucchini and caviar. The bread, a laminated brioche, came with a refreshing soup of tomato and almond milk, and the cucumber jus dish with melon and poached oyster felt quite appropriate for the summer. The larger courses were also well-executed, like the turbot with chanterelle, apricot and Jura yellow wine jus, as well as the lamb belly with asparagus and tomato water. One of the signature dishes at the restaurant, seafood carbonara with squid and eel, was available as a €20 supplement and is not to be missed; it was indeed a very fine dish showing the kitchen's creativity (as the name makes it clear, there is no actual pasta in the dish). We split the dish out of caution for not eating too much and probably should've got one dish each. The main dessert of Jerusalem artichoke, passion fruit and vanilla was also a fun one skillfully incorporating the artichoke into a sweet dish. Getting a reservation at Pramerl and the Wolf in advance is highly recommended given how small the dining space is (there are around six tables for dinner service, once on Wednesday and Thursday and twice on Friday and Saturday). The modest, dark dining room with dim lighting was giving an intimate vibe that would work great for a dinner date. The service was also pretty seamless. As noted above, we would've loved the restaurant even more had the tasting menu featured a few more dishes. I also felt the same way for the wine pairing we chose, an Austrian pairing option at €170 per person. Granted, it was really nice to get a taste of mature wines from leading Austrian producers like Knoll and Moric, but the price point for four total glasses felt a little steep and I would've loved the pairing to have two additional glasses. Pramerl and the Wolf is no doubt a very good restaurant, but the modest portion (when considering the price point) left something to be desired.

4.6 stars. This was an very good 1 star Michelin restaurant! Came with a reservation and service…read morewas fantastic. Seated at the "bar" area as I was alone. Timing of dishes were 7/10 with it being quicker in the beginning but slowing down to catch everyone else up that came in later. Restaurant was on a small size with a cozy personal atmosphere. There was a enough waiters / waitresses around to serve. I will attach some pictures (too many dishes to post all) and not name them as it is more about the taste and senses. Each dish has unique ingredients that worked together. Overall, I highly recommend this experience if cost is not an issue (total with tip was about USD $220 for myself, tasting menu, 2 glasses of wine) if you are looking for a Michelin restaurant with great service and high quality food.

House music played in the background of the restaurant for the duration of our meal. I ordered the Negroni Sour to drink and the tempura to eat. The Negroni Sour was on par with others that I have sampled. The tempura was beautifully presented and tasted exquisite, and I was almost disappointed that there was not more to eat. Overall, I had an exemplary time at Pauli and would highly recommend them for dinner in Vienna.

It's upscale and refined and located right in the middle of some of the best shopping in the city. This came highly recommended by someone who lives here and we spotted a Michelin Bib Gourmand sign in the window so we made it a point to stop. My husband and I kept seeing long lines when we walked by but this afternoon, we saw a few open tables outside so we decided to go in for a drink. We were seated immediately outside under the heaters and the chairs came with blankets if needed. We ordered 2 glasses of wine and a double order of Palatschinken. 2 fresh thin crepes with a stewed apricot glaze - sinfully delicious! Overall, it's a solid pick with a polished vibe and great people watching. Worth a stop if you're in the area!

I suppose this is normal of Viennese/austrian food to taste this way. Not a huge fan.

KenScale: 7.75/10 Visit: June 2026…read more Following our time in Germany, my wife Jun and I spent a few days in Vienna, Austria. While the weather was scorching hot, we still greatly enjoyed navigating this beautiful city from the Belvedere Palace (where Jun's all-time favorite painting The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is located) to a number of world-renowned museums. While in Vienna, of course, we wanted to check out a few restaurants in the city. Our first stop was a popular wine bar and bistro MAST Weinbistro. I had pretty high expectations after seeing glowing reviews of the place from Reddit and elsewhere. At the end, it was a solid dinner but nothing that quite captivated us. Since we wanted to explore the full scope of the restaurant's food and wine offerings, we chose the reasonably priced six-course chef's choice menu (at €89 per person) and the five-glass wine pairing (at €59 per person). The tasting menu is really just an assortment of dishes from the a la carte section you can select from, consisting of four snacks, one each from the cold dish section, two each from the warm dish section and one each from the dessert section. The snacks were all delicious, focusing on fresh ingredients designed to pair well with wines, like summer squash and apple, sheep's curd with kohlrabi and smoked carp with focaccia and tomato. For the cold dishes, Jun and I shared burrata with golden beet and radish as well as pork cheek with runner beans and asparagus. Both were OK, but didn't quite make the progression from the snacks that I was hoping for. We had high expectations for the pork cheek, in particular, but it was the runner beans that actually stole the show from the pork. The warm dishes were also mostly fine but not super memorable, either. The best of the four dishes we shared was probably the sturgeon with lentils and peas. Zucchini with king oyster mushroom and spinach was also not bad. On the other hand, both meat dishes, veal ossobuco with carrot and medium-rare wild boar with bell pepper, were mostly forgettable. For the desserts, I liked the strawberry ice cream with salted caramel, but the other one, with cherry and original beans chocolate, didn't leave a strong impression. It probably didn't help that the portion of the dishes was way more than we had anticipated and we were struggling with finishing the food by the time the warm dishes started arriving. Getting a reservation at MAST online wasn't too difficult but it is a popular bistro in Vienna so planning in advance is still recommended. The wine pairing featured wines from relatively unknown producers in different parts of Europe (not just Austria), emphasizing natural and biodynamic bottles. MAST also has its own Blanc de Blancs Sekt sparkling wine. Other than one Spanish white that I had to look up to see if I can buy in the U.S., the wines from the pairing were, like the food, mostly fine but didn't knock my socks off. I would say the best way to approach MAST is not as a serious dining destination but as a casual place where you can enjoy a glass or two or a bottle with a few dishes for a leisurely night in Vienna. We might've enjoyed our time at MAST perhaps more with that goal in mind.

Overall: A // 5 stars…read more Lingering review from the backlog, but is still definitely worth the share as I loved how MAST managed to capture the beauty of modern healthful eating without a sacrifice in comfort by bringing fresh and modern takes to common and less common ingredients. Highly recommend the visit. (Alpine Char: A+) - I love this garden approach to serving raw fish as the cucumber forward sauce helps add a minty and grassy note to the rich char. The figs added a subtle sweetness and texture that was a delicate complement to the char. (Veal Rump Cap: A+) - I am really impressed by the folding technique of the veal and zucchini in a way that makes this difficult color palette elegant. I found great appeal in the textural plays with various sliced ingredients. (Flank Steak: B) - The steak was cooked perfectly and blended well with the summer squash and wild mushrooms with an underlying earthy tone. I felt that the presentation was a bit disconnected between the steak and the accompaniments though. (Pork Cheeks: B) - The pork was tender and juicy, but the panisse -- chickpea fries were very intrguing and the star. I felt that the presentation was not on par with the cold dishes, but tasted good nevertheless. (Apricot: A) - Intriguing dessert that plays on textures less commonly found, particularly with multiple viscosities from jelly to cream to sponge. Both the flavors and textures are kind to the palette, which is a desirable and underappreciated trait. (Blueberry: B) - Love the flavors that are vibrantly sweet, acidic, and creamy with a balance of textures. However, it did feel like there was a component missing from the dish as symbolized by the void in the center of the plate. (Gooseberry: A+) - Rich and decadent dessert with notes of acidity; the perfect quenelle is a microcosm of the mesmerizing presentation there is to offer.
