Vienna, Austria
Our guide counts 17 Michelin-starred restaurants in Vienna and 25 Michelin stars in total, with 70 exceptional wine programs citywide. Innere Stadt is the largest neighborhood in the guide, with 149 venues. Starred kitchens sit in several neighborhoods, and many of them list a tasting menu, sometimes beside a set menu or a la carte. Staatsoper holds the Grand Award restaurant and the Award of Excellence restaurant. Wine bars divide among Champagne lists, large by-the-glass stocks, and Austrian vinothek lists. Working wineries inside the city pour Wiener Gemischter Satz, the traditional Viennese field blend, and some estates serve in the Heuriger tradition. Falstaff winery stars mark several of those in-city producers. A starred kitchen in Heiligenstadt serves a tasting menu in the vaulted wine cellar of a working winery, using Austrian produce with Spanish and German references. In Staatsoper, a starred kitchen cooks modern Austrian food with ingredients from the family's own farm, listing a tasting menu, a set menu, and a la carte.

La Liste ranked it 96.5 points in its 2026 Top Hotels list, and a wine cellar spanning six vaulted subterranean spaces holds more than 60,000 bottles.

Recognised on the 2026 La Liste Top Hotels list with 94 points, it represents a distinct strand of Vienna luxury: architecturally provocative, positioned at the city's most legible address, and unapologetically contemporary in a city that often trades on its imperial past.
