The story
TwentyTwo occupies the twenty-second floor of the Holiday Inn at Vienna’s Wienerberg, where panoramic windows frame the city skyline and surrounding hills. This elevated dining room serves a flexible menu that moves between Austrian staples and Italian cuisine, while also offering Levantine-Asian compositions. The open layout prioritizes natural light over heavy drapery, allowing guests to watch afternoon clouds drift past the glass.
The kitchen prepares Wiener Schnitzel using standard breading and frying methods that keep the meat tender beneath a crisp crust. Bowls of hummus arrive alongside fresh vegetables, while poké preparations layer raw fish over seasoned rice with sesame notes. A Fregola Sarda alla carbonara demonstrates how Italian cooking adapts to local ingredients without losing its Roman roots. These plates anchor the daily lunch and dinner service.
Recognition from Gault&Millau reflects how consistently the team balances these cross-cultural selections throughout the week. Chef Erkan Güven directs the kitchen alongside Maitre Andre Sadecky and pastry staff who craft individual pralines for dessert. The evening service closes with chocolate boxes that offer a quiet contrast to the day’s savory plates. Staff coordinate table turns efficiently during the Monday through Saturday operating window.
