I love the outstanding concept of this restaurant in the charming neighborhood of Spittelberg. In case you were wondering about the name, that’s the district it is located in. Vienna’s 23 districts are all numbered: which particular district it is you can tell from the two digits in the middle.

Let me tell you how it works: once you get there, they ask what you do NOT want to eat (name allergies and ingredients you really can’t have on your plate).

Next step: wait for your first surprise!

The whole experience reminds me of those first childhood Christmases; the excitement and curiosity about the unknown are very similar. Course after course is served and by the third one they usually ask if you wanted another dish or dessert. This may sound like a lot, yet portions are designed for several courses.

The chef’s daily inspiration leads to which ingredients he buys at the market. This way custom-made dinner menus surprise you every time you make a reservation here – which I do recommend, since the restaurant only has a limited number of tables.

My résumé: a bit pricey but absolutely worth it. If you are seeking adventure within city grounds, come to 1070!
