Best Short List of the Year DACH 2024
This typical Viennese Kaffeehaus has two specials. The first one is the wine list, curated by Simon Schubert, one of the sommeliers in Austria with the best reputation. The second one is the cuisine – run by Julian Lechner –, with a modern mix of traditional, casual and creative dishes. Here, for example, you can enjoy a version of a burger with Cordon Bleu, small appetizers to combine with wines and champagnes, or a parmigiana with eggplants. Schubert and Lechner are also the patrons of Resnicek, one of Vienna's best-known places to combine food and wine.

Café Azzurro has a modern setting, a mixture between Paris and Turin. This is the newest project of the owners of the cosy and tiny restaurant Kommod in Viennas eight district. Some Viennese restaurant critics call it the coolest place in town. The food is unconventional – easy to access and innovative in the same way. The wine list offers a great variety of natural wines, and some other wines which are not on a natural basis, but simply good.

Best Short List of the Year Austria 2022
Run by Christine Nasr and Andreas Schwarz, this small and cosy place is a neighbourhood eatery to really be the envy of the neighbours. Everyday culinary life here consists of imaginative, mainly vegetable-based cuisine, in which meat only occurs at most once or twice and in trace elements. To cook like this, you have to be able to cook. The homemade focaccia is addictive. Wines are available to the house in cooperation with the wine dealer Weinskandal. So you will have a lot of good wine, from Chateau Yvonne to Sepp Muster.

The courageous gastronomic company of Fabian Günzel, a master chef from Germany, serves an eccentric author's kitchen, as well as a richly stocked wine list. Of course, the food and wine pairings are also great. The name Aend is intended to express the connection between two things, but does not mean food and wine, but rather two often contrary ingredients. Deciding between a seemingly endless selection of Champagnes is just as difficult as it is when it comes to Bordeaux, which sommeliers have tended to ignore in recent years.

Barbara and Hermann Botolen have been running this loving togetherness of Viennese tavern, with modern cuisine and a wine list with verve and consistency, for years. Sometimes the chefs change, and it's not easy to cook against this wine selection either. Hermann Botolen is considered one of the greatest wine connoisseurs in the country, and he is also an excellent taster. His special love is France, especially the wines from Burgundy. Hermann Botolen not only works with well-known names, but he also has an ingenious nose for small domains and winegrowers worth discovering.

International Best Long List of the Year, presented by Domaines Paul Jaboulet Aîné 2024
The name says it all when you know that the term Heunisch refers to a quasi-primordial grape variety that once dominated viticulture in Central Europe because of its robustness. Today Heunisch is hardly cultivated anymore, it has given way to Veltliner, Rotgipfler, Riesling, Welschriesling and other grape varieties. The Heunisch, which belongs to the owner of Pub Klemo, is a modern, casual mix of bar and restaurant. Depending on your hunger and mood, you can have small bites or multi-course menus here. The kitchen can do a lot. The wine list is less a history dictionary than a compendium of t...

Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Austria, presented by Wieninger & Hajszan Neumann 2022
This restaurant (awarded two Michelin stars) has become a favourite of Viennese gourmets and visitors to Vienna who are interested in culinary delights. Filippou and his well-rehearsed team in the kitchen, which the guest can look into while eating in the dark-lit, elegant restaurant, offer a cuisine that constantly presents top products in new ways. The sauces are tough, and many plates are arranged like paintings. Filippou only sees meat as a spice. The Konstantin Filippou, run by the chef of the same name and his wife Manuela, was once the first top restaurant in Vienna with a large select...

Andreas Lux came from Tirol to Vienna and worked as a sommelier with chef Alexander Mayer before Mayer closed his restaurant two years ago. In 2022 Lux, a great connoisseur of wines, opened his own place. It is kind of a casual, low-key restaurant with fancy, smart modern cuisine at moderate prices. No wonder that there are a lot of youngsters amongst the guests. The wine list is not huge, but it bursts with well-known names as well as natural winemakers from Burgundy and Austria. The courtyard is industrial chic, besides the former Milchzentrale.

Address: Wallensteinstraße 59, Wien
One of the most booked restaurants in town, awarded two Michelin stars. Lukas (son) and Markus (father) Mraz serve a tasteful, extremely individual cuisine with humour and self-mockery, which also quotes Austrian classics (and of course often does it much better than the original), as well as international impressions that Lukas collected during his years abroad. The wine list is a thing in itself. Here you find the finest Burgundies standing alongside natural wine from southern Styria and the Jura. You get the impression that everything is there: the love of the Mraz family was for wine righ...

International Special Jury Prize 2022
Matthias Pitra and Steve Breitzke have what it takes. As hosts and patrons of their wine bar according to their own will and imagination, and on their wine list. You don't just get small bites to accompany these great wines, you get a whole menu, prepared by a fantastic chef who knows that a meal shouldn't dominate a wine, just as it shouldn't happen the other way around. The ambience is a relaxed, straightforward mix of bar and restaurant, with a bit of Nordic flair. The wine list is very individual, presumably based on the preferences of the two hosts. The demands on the winegrowers whose w...

The younger, more casual brother of Konstantin Filippou, who is right next door. Filippou cultivates his Greek roots a little more here; you can have snacks and starters as well as a dinner with several courses, all at reasonable prices. The accompanying wines are off the beaten track and make the eyes of connoisseurs light up. Even regulars who have made themselves at home at O Boufés are always happy to be surprised by the recommendations of the sommelier. Success is mostly guaranteed. The O Boufés wine list is a compendium of undiscovered, as well as established, winemakers of the highes...

The ambition of the owner of this luxurious hotel has always been to run one of the largest, most famous and most expensive wine cellars in Europe. Mission accomplished...

Best Long List of the Year DACH 2024
Heinz and Birgit Reitbauer run a restaurant that has the reputation of being the best in Austria. Top ratings in the guides, and for many years the best restaurant on the 50 Best list in the German-speaking region. Reitbauer has developed an author's cuisine, which he implements with scientific meticulousness. Much of what now is mainstream in Austria started here, like citrus fruits or the love of freshwater fish instead of sea fish. Reitbauer succeeds in integrating Viennese elements into his menus again and again, without them proving to be foreign elements in this light-footed, vegetable...

Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Austria, presented by Wieninger & Hajszan Neumann 2022
Under the leadership of Paul Ivic (kitchen) and André Drechsel (service and wine), the Tian has made the vegetarian urban and chic. There is no discussion here as to whether a tasting menu of vegetables and a little more should cost the same as one with fine products from the sea, river and meadow. Ivic works with the best producers and gardeners around Vienna, and the program is naturally very seasonal. The wine list is on one hand a compendium of natural wines from the competent regions (Southern Styria, Weinviertel, Jura and more), on the other hand, a fine range of consistently well-known...
