Die KÜCHE

We went here with dear friends for a late birthday dinner. First time here, but very pleasantly surprised! The restaurant immediately goes on my favorite list.
After an uncomplicated reservation we were already looking forward to get there. We were seated quickly while our coats were taken away. Our table was in a quiet corner, which we appreciated a lot. The staff was very friendly and not as stiff as you might expect from a restaurant in a high-​tier hotel. All of them helped to create a very pleasant atmosphere.
The menu at Die Küche is relatively small, but don’t let that fool you. The quality is very good!
As starter we went for the beer tartare, which is prepared to your liking at your table. Two chefs came with the ingredients and asked us how we wanted to have it. More or less spicy, with this or that. It’s totally customizable! Nice idea to get more interaction with the guests. We also has the signature dish: the Käsekrainer — we asked to have it as a starter. I think it’s a bit unusual for a place like that, but it must have been the best Käsekrainer I’ve ever tasted. I had a Schnitzel as main. Boring? Might be, but I love a good Schnitzel. Pair it with cucumber salad and I’m happy. This was also prepared very well and quickly time for dessert came. 4 people, 5 desserts, how do you solve that? Well, by just ordering all 5 and share them, of course! At least, that is what we did. When the other dishes were good, the desserts were just amazing! All 5 take you to a different part of dessert heaven.
We paired the food with some wines. Die Küche has a wide range of wines from all over the world, in different price ranges.
As can be expected from a place like that, credit card payment was not an issue.
We had an amazing evening. Of course, the company you are dining with is most important but good food and drinks with pleasant staff helps a lot. We’ll be back for sure!

Totally decadent experience. Had the most beautiful Austrian wine and food to die for. Do not miss this if you are in Vienna.
