The best luxury restaurant in Vienna in 2026 is Steirereck im Stadtpark, one of two Viennese restaurants with three Michelin stars, alongside Amador. This list ranks 10 fine-dining restaurants using the March 2026 Michelin Guide Austria, then adds our own view of setting and style. The old list has been rebuilt because several places on it have changed or closed.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Steirereck im Stadtpark | Creative | 3 |
| 2 | Amador | Creative | 3 |
| 3 | Silvio Nickol Gourmet Restaurant | Modern | 2 |
| 4 | Konstantin Filippou | Modern | 2 |
| 5 | Mraz & Sohn | Creative | 2 |

1. Steirereck im Stadtpark: Vienna’s top-rated restaurant
Steirereck sits in Vienna’s Stadtpark in the Landstraße district and holds three Michelin stars. Heinz Reitbauer is the chef, and the family has reportedly run Steirereck since 1970.
Reservations are essential and the tasting menus are long.
Verdict: three stars and the longest track record in the city.
2. Amador, Döbling: the other three-star address
Amador is the second Viennese restaurant with three Michelin stars in the 2026 guide. It serves creative cuisine in the Döbling district, outside the center.
We could not verify its current menu prices, so confirm them when booking.
Why here: three stars, but less central than Steirereck.
3. Silvio Nickol Gourmet Restaurant, Palais Coburg: two stars in a palace
The restaurant is at Coburgbastei 4 in the Innere Stadt, inside Palais Coburg. The palace was designed in 1839 and built from 1840 to 1845 on part of the old city defences, and it is now a five-star boutique hotel with 33 suites. Silvio Nickol holds two Michelin stars.
Our take: the best setting among the two-star restaurants.
4. Konstantin Filippou, Innere Stadt: modern cuisine, two stars
Konstantin Filippou is a two-star restaurant in Vienna’s old center that serves modern cuisine. The chef is of Greek background, and the restaurant has risen from one star to two in recent years.
Rating note: the strongest two-star menu for adventurous diners.
5. Mraz & Sohn, Brigittenau: creative cooking with two stars
Mraz & Sohn in the Brigittenau district has held two Michelin stars for several years. It is listed as creative cuisine.
Bottom line: a consistent two-star choice outside the tourist center.
6. Doubek, Josefstadt: a two-star creative restaurant
Doubek is a two-star creative restaurant in the Josefstadt district, according to the 2026 guide.
We could not verify the opening year, so we have not dated it.
In short: two stars, with the least public detail.
7. Edvard, Palais Hansen Kempinski: one star by the Ringstrasse
Edvard is a one-star creative restaurant at Palais Hansen Kempinski, at Schottenring 24. The hotel opened in 2013. It was on our earlier list with one star and has kept it.
Score logic: a reliable star in a grand hotel.
8. TIAN: the vegetarian star
TIAN is a one-star vegetarian restaurant in the Innere Stadt, at Himmelpfortgasse 23. Chef Paul Ivic cooks tasting menus without meat, and the venue has space for private events.
The trade-off: the best option for vegetarians, and a star for 2026.
9. Esszimmer, Innere Stadt: one-star modern cooking
Esszimmer holds one Michelin star in 2026 for modern cuisine in the center of the city.
Summary: a good central pick for a special dinner.
10. Pramerl & the Wolf, Alsergrund: creative one-star cooking
Pramerl & the Wolf is a one-star creative restaurant in the Alsergrund district.
Final note: a one-star choice a short ride from the center.
What happened to the other restaurants on our earlier list?
We removed Das Turm, Pes.co, Fabio’s, M Lounge, Loca and Le Ciel because we could not verify they are open in 2026 or that they hold a Michelin distinction. Le Ciel by Toni Mörwald appears as closed in the history of Austria’s Michelin stars. Several newer one-star restaurants in Vienna, including [aend], APRON, Herzig and Z’SOM, did not make our top 10 but are also worth a look.
