Vienna — Where We Ate & Drank
We ate our way through 9 Vienna restaurants and bars, from Mraz & Sohn's two Michelin stars to TIAN's vegetarian tasting menus and standing-room opera at the Musikverein.
Vienna in November was schnitzel and symphony season: Mraz & Sohn's two-star run, TIAN's vegetarian counterargument, sachertorte where it was invented, and standing-room tickets at the Musikverein for pocket change. The Rosewood puts you over the Graben, and ball season plus the Christmas markets make winter the insider's answer.
