memorable MEALS: Restaurant Vestibül

After running around Vienna, soaking in all the sites we could see via Vienna Pass and a trusty hop-on hop-off bus tour, we worked up an appetite and were looking for a restaurant that would slow us down after a busy day. 

Restaurant Vestibül did just the trick-- we took our time, and we were given time. We both ordered fixed menus-- I did the standard six-course menu, while my husband did the four-course chef menu that changes daily.  Here is what we ate.

amuse bouche

Course 5 (her): BBQ Roast of Angus Beef with fermented chicory and potato rosemary gratin

Our meals comprised of fresh ingredients that made several appearances throughout our meal, along with staple dishes of the restaurant and seasonal variations. There was play with texture and temperature, surprising combinations and rich layers.
