When the topic of Austrian food is brought up, the usual 'Schnitzel' pop up in your mind right away. But food at Steirereck offers no typical Austrian cuisine, it takes you along an unforgettable journey that redefines the beauty of Austria, which does not only lie in music and art.

Steirereck ranks the 9th best restaurant on 'The World's 50 Best', it is only until I made the reservation had I realized its fame. It sits on the bank of Danube at Stadtpark. Chef Heinz Reitbauer appreciated the nature and roots his cuisine in fresh and rare ingredients, which some were grown and harvested from the garden of Steirereck.
