![frigo, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 681 201 133 11
Address: Große Neugasse 31, Wien
Best Newcomer List Austria, presented by New Generation Wines from Georgia 2026
Frigo feels very Vienna right now, in the best possible way. The room is small, relaxed, and stylish, with elegant outdoor seating out front. It’s the kind of place where people get lost in a deep selection of Austrian classics, alongside a smart cast of new-wave producers. The cooking is modern, with a strong vegetable focus, and plates are built for sharing, nodding to tapas without feeling themed. But wine is what gives the place its pulse. The list moves easily between Austrian benchmarks, biodynamics, orange wines, and low-intervention bottles from across Europe, all curated to reflect t...

![Interior of nineOfive Vienna restaurant, Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 01 2386594
Address: Mühlgasse 20/Tür 1, Wien
Casual yet refined, nineOfive proves that a pizzeria can be a serious wine destination. It is built around wine as much as food, featuring an expansive wine list with more than 300 bottles. It focuses on organic and biodynamic wines, with a good selection of grower Champagne, as well as natural wine classics. Rare bottles can be scored here too, if you let the team help you. The food follows the same philosophy: Neapolitan pizza made with 72-hour fermented dough, paired with local, seasonal produce, all sourced with care and an eye for organic ingredients. The wine list is the perfect partner...

![Exterior of Glacis Beisl restaurant, Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 5265660
Address: Breite Gasse 4, Wien
Special Jury Prize Austria 2026
Beneath the trees of one of the city’s most beautiful courtyards, owner Paul Bodner serves timeless Austrian comfort – think pork crackling dumplings with sauerkraut or a perfectly crisp Wiener schnitzel – alongside a wine list that looks thoughtfully beyond borders. The focus rests on Austria and its neighbours, featuring rare bottles from Friuli, Slovenia, and even France, balanced by a deep selection of Austrian wines. The list is entirely organic and biodynamic, with a confident leaning toward natural expressions. Rooted in tradition but open in spirit, Glacis Beisl bridges old Vienna wi...

![Interior of Café Azzurro, Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 670 203 2023
Address: Urban-Loritz-Platz 5, Wien
Best Short List of the Year Austria 2025
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.

![Espresso Bar, a wine bar in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 01 52210570
Address: Burggasse 57, Wien
An old espresso with a wonderful business sign – like an old-fashioned 1950s sign – serves as the ambience of this ambitious wine bar. Here you can taste plenty of natural wines and the music is sometimes excellent. This is a typical kind of recently opened wine bars in Vienna, dedicated to a young and curious crowd of wine consumers. These are the perfect contrast to the Viennese wine venues of traditional style, called der Heurige.

![Gasthaus Stern, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 174 933 70
Address: Braunhubergasse 6, Wien
Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Austria, presented by Château Galoupet 2025
From the outside, Gasthaus Stern may look like a weathered Viennese eatery in the southern part of the city, but step inside and you’ll soon realise you’re in a serious wine destination. The menu is classic (a Wiener schnitzel is mandatory, of course) and the décor reminds one of the Austrian alpine countryside. But the wine list? Yes, the wine list. Christian Werner has created a wine wonderland with amazing bottles from all over the world – not just Austria – and many in seriously large sizes. The pricing is very reasonable across the board and, if you’re lucky, you may see Werner himself...

![Interior of restaurant Cucina Itameshi, Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 121 225 7570
Address: Praterstraße 70, Wien
Housed in the historic Dogenhof on Praterstraße, Cucina Itameshi pulls off a daring tango between Italy and Japan – open fire meets umami depth, XO sauces flirt with handmade pasta, and burrata gets a briny lift from nori tsukudani. Udon carbonara anyone? The wine list mirrors this east-meets-west philosophy with rare finesse. It’s packed with Italian natural wines, skin-contact Friulians, and grower bubbles, balanced by precise Austrian and French whites that thrive alongside smoke, spice, and dashi. There’s a clear intelligence behind the selections: these are thoughtful pairings that emph...
-
![Interior of Mama Konstantina, Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 143 800 95
Address: Döblinger Hauptstraße 17, Wien
Mama Konstantina is the neighbourhood restaurant of Konstantin Filippou, the Michelin-starred chef behind his eponymous fine-dining restaurant and the more casual O boufés. Like all of Filippou’s ventures, wine plays an important role, but here, the list is shorter, more personal, and designed for conviviality rather than collecting. You’ll find a sharp mix of Greek and Austrian producers; bottles that speak to sea salt, herbs, and the Mediterranean. The food channels Filippou’s Greek heritage with generosity: meze, grilled fish, lemon, and olive oil are in abundance. The atmosphere is brigh...
-
![Interior at Bruder – Küche & Bar, Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 664 135 1320
Address: Windmühlgasse 20, Wien
Bruder is one of Vienna’s most original wine-food hybrids – equal parts kitchen, ferment lab, and natural-wine bar. The space glows dimly with jars of pickles and preserves. The cooking walks the line between new Nordic minimalism and Austrian earthiness – fermented chickpeas, smoked trout, pork belly skewers, and the occasional left-field dessert built on koji or coffee grounds. The wine list, assembled entirely by the team, is a quiet revelation. Bruder imports its own bottles, focusing on small, uncompromising producers from Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and beyond. You’ll even fin...
-
![Exterior of Café Kandl, Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 189 089 3815
Address: Kandlgasse 12/2, Wien
Tucked away in Vienna’s seventh district, Café Kandl has quietly become one of the city’s most exciting wine destinations. The atmosphere is relaxed and bohemian, but the wine list is anything but casual. With roughly 300 bottles, it’s a deep dive into the natural and alternative wine world: Austrian biodynamics sit alongside Georgian qvevri wines, Jura curiosities, grower Champagne, and new-wave Italians. However, you will find some good classics as well. The list is adventurous but not about chasing hype, and more about offering really good wines. The food follows the same philosophy. Dishe...

![aend, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 01 5953416
Address: Mollardgasse 76, Wien
Best Bordeaux Wine List Austria, presented by Château Tour des Termes 2026
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.
-
![Capsule, a wine bar in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 650 2334544
Address: Tiefer Graben 9, Wien
This luxurious and cosy Champagne bar is the perfect stop after doing business or shopping in the centre of Vienna. Here, Champagne is the only meaning of life for the owners and the service crew. You lean back and enjoy bubbles either by the glass or – much better – bottle by bottle. The selection is for beginners (classics like Krug or Bollinger) and connoisseurs (lots of not-so-well-known smaller Champagne houses) alike. If you work up an appetite, you can choose between a small range of snacks like caviar or a buttery Croque Monsieur with truffled ham. Sometimes, what started as an after-...

![Fuhrmann, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 9444324
Address: Fuhrmannsgasse 9, Wien
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.

![Heunisch & Erben, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 2868563
Address: Landstraßer Hauptstraße 17, Wien
By the Glass List of the Year Austria 2025
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...

![Konstantin Filippou, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 5122229
Address: Dominikanerbastei 17, Wien
Best Medium-Sized List Austria, presented by Joseph Phelps 2026
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...
-
![Le Cru, a wine bar in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 5334260
Address: Petersplatz 8, Wien
One of the veterans of the not-so-old Champagne boom in downtown Vienna, Le Cru is an elegant bar that could easily be found in Antwerp, London or Paris. A small counter, a table with stools and a few seats, that's it. The room is characterized by a gigantic shelf with Champagne bottles. People meet here before or after eating, or instead of eating, or after shopping. The audience is a colourful mix of Habitués and newcomers from the suburbs of Vienna. The service provides competent advice and is enthusiastic about the task at hand.
-
![Lokal im Hof, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 01 9719141
Address: Viktorgasse 22, Weyringergasse 36, Wien
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.

![MAST Weinbistro, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 9226679
Address: Porzellangasse 53, Wien
By the Glass List of the Year Austria 2025
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...
-
![Mraz & Sohn, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 3304594
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...
-
![O Boufés, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 512222910
Address: Dominikanerbastei 17, Wien
Best Short List Austria 2026
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...

![Palais Coburg – Silvio Nickol, a hotel and restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 518180
Address: Coburgbastei 4, Wien
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... In Silvio Nickol's restaurant, awarded two Michelin stars, you can delve into the depths of this wine cellar under the supervision of excellent sommeliers. Silvio Nickol has given his kitchen a self-confident, individual style. He always incorporates some of his favourite ingredients, such as duck liver, into his menus in an enchantingly creative way. Everything seems well thought out and is implemented intelligently. The...

![Pub Klemo, a wine bar in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 699 11091332
Address: Margaretenstraße 61, Wien
Best By-the-Glass List Austria, presented by Stölzle Lausitz 2026
The owner of Pub Klemo is also the owner of Heunisch and Erben. But this is one of the original spots of Viennese wine culture, even though it is not about the Viennese wines themselves (they are available at the Heurigen) but about wines from Burgundy and Bordeaux. In the small, square restaurant, you can take a seat and look at the small selection of cheeses and ham (there are also warm snacks) and the wine list, a feast for the eyes. The prices are customer-friendly, and the service is top-notch, of course. Pub Klemo is a favourite of winemakers and sommeliers, and many wine-related events...

![Reznicek, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: 01 3104407
Address: Reznicekgasse 10, Wien
Simon Schubert has fulfilled his dream of self-employment together with his friend, the head chef Julian Lechner. If you are looking for a Viennese tavern with a historically valuable interior and modern Viennese cuisine, this is it. Schubert, who worked as a sommelier at Mraz & Sohn and Aend, is responsible for a substantial wine list. He gives free rein to his love of both Wachau and Bordeaux. As far as the guests are concerned: The Reznicek also has a large following among Austria's winegrowers and other wine-loving guests. The ideal place for tastings along the way. Simon Schubert has a...

![R&Bar, a wine bar in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 676 83 85 86 96
Address: Lindengasse 1, Wien
Best Medium-Sized List Austria, presented by Joseph Phelps 2026
The wine merchant Moritz Herzog, one of the most important figures in the Austrian wine scene, has fulfilled a dream and created a wine bar that is loved in London, Barcelona and Paris. Brutally natural, wild in its interior design, dedicated not to careful tasting but to unrestrained consumption. A tour du vin through Vienna should definitely pass by this bar. Casual, Spanish-inspired tapas are served as a base. The framework is as unpretentious as conceivable. Party time. Everything natural, but not just from Austria, goes into the glass here.

![Steirereck, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 7133168
Address: Am Heumarkt 2A, Wien
Best Spanish Wine List Austria, presented by Familia Torres 2026
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...
-
![Tian, a restaurant in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 1 8904665
Address: Himmelpfortgasse 23, Wien
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...
-
![Wein & Co, a wine bar in Vienna, Austria.]()
Phone: +43 50 706 3122
Address: Jasomirgottstraße 3/5, Wien
Wein&Co’s flagship store near the St. Stephen's Cathedral has a large selection of wine both from Austria and beyond in the wine shop downstairs. At the entrance floor you also have a dining part where you can have wienerschnitzel and other specialities with wines from the shop, sold with a corkage.
