My Restaurant Recommendation In Vienna

Matthew Klint Posted onOctober 2, 2019October 2, 2019 8 Comments

Vienna is one of my favorite cities in the world, though I’ve struggled to find food that makes me say WOW. But I recently found a fabulous restaurant at a price that won’t break the bank…

We almost didn’t stop at Fabios. At first, we walked right by it. But the beautiful outdoor terrace caught my eye. It was a lovely late-summer evening in Vienna, ideal for eating outdoors.

It was 5:00PM and thankfully the dinner rush had not begun, for we had no reservation. The restaurant offered us a table on the condition we finished by 7:30PM. No problem there…this was a late-lunch with my business partner, not a date. Fabios specializes in a fusion of Italian and Mediterranean food, two of my favorite cuisines.

Although my brother mocks me for ordering them, I do love peach bellinis and I’ve never had a better one than here. The peach puree was fresh and sweet, complementing the Prosecco nicely.

I’ve been trying to skip bread courses at restaurants and on planes, but I devoured the bread here. The selection included a dark grain bread, tomato focaccia, and sourdough.

We skipped appetizers and went right for the main course. I ordered lamb cutlets served on a bed of Moroccan spicy couscous with roasted cashews. The meat was cooked perfectly and the red wine reduction sauce mixed with olive oil and fresh parsley was a great sauce for the couscous (the meat needed no sauce).

John ordered filet mignon, which was served with roasted green peppers. He gave the beef two thumbs up.

I concluded the meal with a strong cappuccino (with apologies to my Italian readers, who view cappuccino outside the breakfast window as anathema).

CONCLUSION

Fabios is a short walk from the Park Hyatt Vienna and in the heart of the old city. Do make a reservation and enjoy this wonderful Vienna restaurant.

    It’s an extremely popular “in” restaurant in Vienna right now. Have you tried Restaurant Kornat just a short walk down the street from there yet?

    Even as someone who doesn’t like lamb, I have to admit that lamb looks amazing…

    You went out for a meal: who would’ve guessed it would be red meat followed by cappuccino. One day you’ll surprise us but I won’t hold my breath. Peach Bellini: sounds like something the aunties at a southern bridge club would sip. It’s vaguely surprising you didn’t go for Sachertorte.
    At least you enjoy it.

    I’ve been to Labstelle every time I’ve been to Vienna and have never once been disappointed.

    Not Austrian at all; still looks good.

    I for one like to try to enjoy local culture and food when I travel.

    Try Gulasch & Champagne in (or next to) the Grand Ferdinand Hotel.

@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.
