Steirereck

Chef Heinz Reitbauer runs Steirereck with a devotion to provenance that borders on the unreasonable — herbs off the roof, produce from the restaurant's own farm, citrus from a nearby imperial orangery. It's been known for years for dishes like char cooked in beeswax, and the bread and cheese trolley has a reputation that travels well past Austria. If you've got one evening in Vienna for something special, this is where to spend it: three Michelin stars, a steady spot on the World's 50 Best — go hungry and let them lead.
