Michelin-starred yet affordable restaurant in Vienna's 2nd district. Creative seasonal menus with excellent value lunch options. Relaxed atmosphere despite fine dining credentials. Young chef brings fresh perspective to Austrian classics.
Mraz & Sohn holds a Michelin star in Vienna's 2nd district and has built a reputation for offering serious fine dining at prices far more accessible than most starred restaurants, particularly at lunch. The kitchen turns out creative seasonal menus that reinterpret Austrian ingredients with modern technique, with dishes like saddle of venison showing the kitchen's confident, precise cooking. The lunch tasting menu is especially well regarded as a value option, letting diners experience the kitchen's style at a fraction of the evening tasting menu's cost, which has made it popular among younger Viennese diners and industry professionals. The dining room is relaxed and unpretentious rather than formal, reflecting a younger generation of Austrian chefs who favor approachable settings over the traditional white-tablecloth format. Because the restaurant is small and its lunch deal is well known locally, reservations are essential, particularly for the lunch tasting menu, which can sell out days ahead. It operates Wednesday through Saturday.
