The story
Steinhart presents modern Austrian cuisine in the Favoriten district of Vienna, guided by a concept that bridges local produce with an international outlook. The kitchen team led by Thomas Mader and service overseen by Klaus Hartl has earned a 12.5 point rating from Gault & Millau for this balanced approach. Their menu moves seamlessly from focused business lunches to multi-course evening tastings paired with carefully selected wines.
The Austrian cooking program balances these lighter selections with heartier options like pickled zander and a house crafted vegan burger. The chanterelle risotto highlights seasonal foraging while roasted partridge offers a richer alternative for those seeking game. Poppy seed dumplings round out the savory progression with a subtle sweetness that honors traditional pastry techniques without leaning into nostalgia.
The dining room adopts clean lines and muted tones inspired by Scandinavian design principles. Natural light filters across polished surfaces while uncluttered layouts encourage relaxed conversation during both midday service and late weekend hours. Guests often linger over coffee or stay for special programming like the Alles Strauss evenings that pair classical music with curated tasting menus.
