This year, 74 restaurants compose the Austrian selection, demonstrating that even in such an unprecedented context, professionals haven’t lost their passion, neither their skills.
"Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant business in many countries has experienced a difficult time. Despite all the adversities caused by the crisis, gastronomy in Austria nevertheless shows a consistently high level and continues to present a diverse offer that includes all comfort and price categories as well as a wide variety of cuisine styles." said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. “It also should be mentioned that despite the current situation, the gastronomy in Vienna and Salzburg is extremely in demand - it is not always easy to reserve a table! Plus, we also noticed the pride of the restaurateurs in being able to use products from their own country in their dishes time and again.”
Vienna
A MICHELIN Green Star awarded for the first time
For the very first time, the 2022 MICHELIN Guide introduces a new distinction in Vienna, the MICHELIN Green Star, which refers to establishments that are committed to a more sustainable gastronomy, thanks to inspiring initiatives. This year, the restaurant TIAN is awarded one, to highlight its strong sustainable ethos, illustrated by its qualitative offer of vegetarian and vegan cuisine, built around seasonal, fairly made and local products. Located between St. Stephen's Cathedral and Stadtpark, TIAN, which has already been recognized with a MICHELIN Star for the quality of the food itself, is now also recognized for chef Paul Ivić's and his teams demanding sustainable philosophy.
Confirmation of the Star level
The following Viennese restaurants, which had already been awarded one or more MICHELIN Stars in the previous MICHELIN Guide selection, were able to confirm their level, thanks to their strong commitment for high-quality cooking.The restaurant Amador by top chef Juan Amador, whose remarkable creative cuisine is also honored with Three MICHELIN Stars this year, and continues to lead the way. The picture in the 2-Stars segment is also extremely pleasing: Steirereck, im Stadtpark, Mraz & Sohn, Konstantin Filippou and Silvio Nickol Gourmet Restaurant continue to impress. The 1-Star restaurants SHIKI, APRON, Pramerl & the Wolf, TIAN, Edvard, Walter Bauer and [aend] also remain unchanged in the Vienna selection.
