The story
DiningRuhm in Vienna focuses on Nikkei cuisine, a style emerging from the historical intersection of Japanese and Peruvian traditions. Chef Marcel Ruhm orchestrates the kitchen, merging the vibrant, spice-driven elements of Peruvian creole cooking with the refinement of Japanese preparation. His brother Sascha shares leadership of the establishment, anchoring the brand across their locations in the city.
The menu reflects a dedication to high-quality produce, recognized by a Gault&Millau score of 14.5. Signature plates feature Mini-Tacos filled with Yellowtail and Salmon, alongside a crisp Oyster ceviche. Marcel Ruhm crafts complex pairings, including Nigiri garnished with Foie gras and Salmon, and Tuna served with Black Truffle. A Gourmetmenu offers a curated selection of these items presented family-style. Heavier options like Kabeljau and Lamm ground the meal, though the sauces carry a distinct Yuzu character.
The venue at Lambrechtgasse 9 encourages communal dining through a family-style service model. Guests place orders directly in the center of the table, facilitating a shared exploration of the extensive Asian-Peruvian repertoire. Operational decisions prioritize resource efficiency; the kitchen sources ingredients according to reservation data to limit waste. This sustainability focus extends to booking protocols requiring a credit card guarantee. Sascha Ruhm leads the front-of-house team as Maitre.

History
For years, DiningRuhm has been a fixture of Asian-Peruvian fusion cuisine. The menu is extensive, and guests who prefer not to customize their own selection will be very well served by one of the set menus. The gourmet menu, in particular, offers a wonderful overview of Marcel Ruhm's diverse dishes. Starting with the mini-tacos with yellowtail and salmon, an oyster ceviche, nigiri with foie gras and salmon, or tuna with black truffle: each dish showcases masterful preparation and reflects the highest quality ingredients. The flavor combinations are truly overwhelming. The main courses featuring cod and lamb are also excellent, though perhaps slightly dominated by yuzu. The wine pairing isn't exceptional, but certainly adequate. Regular patrons might wish for a bit more variety over time.
