Surely not the cheapest place to eat, but every meal is a piece of art...

I have eaten at many top restaurants in the last couple of years and I can honestly say this was extremely average. there was nothing special or inventive about any of the dishes. I really wouldn't put this place above any of the 1 michelin star places i've been. If your in Vienna and you want fine-dining go the Novelli,... More

Had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Were looking for a good, hearty meal.. Found the opposite. Dishes are a modern style with food used as ornaments. Served a number of "treats" before the meal none of which we found edible. The meal itself was lamb not much larger than a silver dollar with half dozen nickel-sized "vegetable"... More

I had one of my best meals ever at RieGi in Vienna. I tried the tasting menu with wine pairing, and you can choose dishes between the more traditional menu and the more modern menu. All the dishes were prepared, I would say, delightfully and inventively, in some they were mixing interesting ingredients. The wine portion was very generous and... More

We visited Riegi for my 30th birthday and each had one of the 8 course tasting menus. The food was not only beautifully presented and innovative, but the flavours and combinations of ingredients were outstanding also. We'd more than happily return to Riegi and at the price they're pitched at for such wonderful food and ambience I could see us... More

Service was excellent. We did a 5 course meal. Food was outstanding and portions were surprisingly generous + 3 amuse bouche. We did the wine accompaniment and the selections were all Austrian and all wonderful. And again, suprprisingly generous pours. I guess the meal was expensive, but this meal and wine would cost twice as much in Chicago, San Fran... More

The restaurant is in a small vaulted room in central Vienna. The menu is presented slightly oddly; there are two different menus, each with about 8 dishes, individually priced. You can also choose to select 3 to 8 courses from one or the other, in practice from both. You can have an appropriate (according to the management) wine with each... More

This is a Michelin stared restaurestaurant in the inner city. It is expensive but worth every penny. For an elegant dining experience it is outstanding. The menu is offered with or without wine. If you choose to have wine with the meal we would suggest that you let the wine steward do the choosing as he picks the wine the... More

Strange interior with the blue glass ceiling combined with pale red chairs, a yellow wall painting, etc but most if the food and wine selection were very good. Somewhat distracted service reduced the overall impression.

When i go on a weekend trip I always include a Michelin star rated restaurant. In Vienna my choice was Riegi. It 's a cozy restaurant behind the Hofburg, the Imperial Palace. The guests have the choice of 2 menus with each eight courses. When this is too much, you can go for 3 or 5 courses. I deceided to... More
