Steirereck
Possibly the most raved-about restaurant in Austria. At the entrance is a 20-foot-long Rococo banqueting table topped off by a video screen showing the food being prepared in the kitchen. After your meal, choose from a selection of more than 60 cheeses from Steirereck's own cheese cellar. If you don't want the razzamatazz of Steirereck, opt for a bite in the stylish lower-floor ‘Meierei’.

Fabios
Fabios club/bar/restaurant has been fashionable for so long, we’re surprised it hasn’t gone out of favour yet. Luckily, the staff are doing their best to make sure that the quality doesn't slip at this super-sleek venue beloved of Vienna’s beautiful people.
