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.

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.

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-...

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 By the Glass List of the Year 2022
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...

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.

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.

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...

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 Best Short List of the Year 2022
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... 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...

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...

Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Austria, presented by Wieninger & Hajszan Neumann 2022
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.

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.

Grand Prix Austria 2022
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...
