Restaurant Augenweide – a real pleasure for the palate and the eyes
The restaurant “Augenweide” is located in the 2nd district of Vienna, directly on the popular Danube Canal. In every season, whether cold or warm, you can enjoy the view on the large terrace in front of the restaurant. The uniqueness of this restaurant is that they cleverly combine several different dishes. In this case they are Steaks, Pasta and Sushi. A unique idea to serve all those dishes as a main dish in one restaurante.
In terms of appearance, you immediately see the pink-lit facade and terrace. Whether inside or outside everything shines in a pink and warm light. The restaurant is really huge and what is fascinating is that the terrace is just as big, so there is enough space. When it comes to furniture, the Augenweide restaurant relies on reserved colors and materials, such as light gray and light brown. A suitable combination for the colored light. Inside there are the “3 kitchens” which immediately catch your eye and where you can watch the chefs preparing the food.
As was to be expected from the Augenweide restaurant, as it is a place where you can get everything under one roof, the menu is also very extensive and well structured. There is even a recommendation from the kitchen on the first page for people who don’t have a lot of time. A great idea for the area. There are so many offices in the area that a lot of people will definitely come by for a quick lunch break.
But let’s start with the drinks at the restaurant Augenweide, because there is not only good food, but also an amazing drinks menu. Of course, I always look at the cocktails first. And no, I didn’t order an Aperol Spritz this time. I noticed the Pornstar Martini straight away and I couldn’t resist. I noticed the Pornstar Martini straight away and I couldn’t resist. As a second cocktail we also tried the smokey tea tonic. Dry Gin, Earl Grey, lemon, honey and Organics Tonic Water. A real surprise in terms of taste. And the presentation was also impressive. For the idea of a large tea cup with ice cream – hats off to you!
Before we received the starter, we were served fresh bread and a bowl of tomato spread and butter. Very aromatic and delicious. As a starter we chose the classic beef tartare. -I know it’s typical for me, but unfortunately I can’t help it. It just tastes too good for that. What I found great about the Augenweide restaurant is that, in a very traditional and classic way, a raw egg yolk was placed on the beef tartare. Which you then have to mix together yourself. Love it!
For the main course we ordered the lamb crowns (ca. 450g) – medium rare of course – with the seasonal grilled vegetables. Buttery soft! Completely summed up with this word. Since the Augenweide restaurant also offers sushi, I of course had to try it. Since everything sounded so delicious, I had to order 2 eye-catching maki rolls. Once the “Black Tuna Roll” – glazed tuna, black garlic, avocado, tempura batter, chives and black sesame. Second, I ordered the “Truffle Tuna Roll” – yellowfin tuna, asparagus, truffle mayonnaise and capers. The presentation of the Rolls was incredibly beautiful. I also ordered the truffle fries.
I love the look and concept of Restaurant Augenweide. It exudes something modern and hip. The fusion of colors and at the same time the fusion of the different dishes is really great. The concept of steak, sushi and pasta under one roof cannot be found anywhere else in Vienna.
The restaurant Augenweide is perfect for anyone who can’t decide what they want to eat, because you’ll definitely find something here. In summary, you can say that the price-performance ratio is okay and you certainly don’t have to go home hungry.
