Sophisticated restaurant on the 18th floor of the Sofitel with panoramic Vienna views. Contemporary cuisine with artistic presentation. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning cityscape backdrop. Popular for special occasions and sunset dining.
Das Loft occupies the 18th floor of the Sofitel Vienna Stephansdorf on Praterstraße, and its main draw is the panoramic view over the Vienna skyline, taking in the Danube Canal, St. Stephen's Cathedral, and the surrounding cityscape through floor-to-ceiling windows. The kitchen serves modern international cuisine with a focus on refined presentation, including dishes such as duck breast with cherry sauce, aimed more at a polished special-occasion crowd than at showcasing hyper-local Austrian ingredients. The dining room's contemporary design, with sleek furnishings and a striking view-forward layout, makes it especially popular for sunset dinners, anniversaries, and business entertaining. A three-course set menu offers a more accessible way to sample the kitchen without committing to the full à la carte pricing. Because window tables are the main attraction, reservations are essential, and requesting a table by the glass at the time of booking is advisable, particularly around sunset hours when demand is highest.
