"We had an amazing time at Steman! Don’t miss this restaurant when visiting Vienna.
The food was absolutely delicious, best Austrian authentic food we had during our trip. We are so happy we came here and not to the other recommendations that were given to us!!
The service was the best service we received in the city in a restaurant. The crew is so nice, our waiter had great recommendations and every time we wanted something or needed something they were so attentive and friendly.
Please don’t miss this place, it is a true gem 😍"

The käsespätzle was perfect in terms of flavour and texture. The quality of this restaurant is exceptional."

Where to eat Vienna: Traditional Austrian food —
This lovely locale is fantastic if you are looking for Austrian food but want to mix in with the locals. I've never visited when it hasn't been bustling with families, groups of friends and the irresistible scent of traditional dishes wafting through the wood panelled walls. Simplicity is key here, everything from the tablecloths to the menu are invitingly straightforward, but they have enough historic touches - including the 1900's style giant fridge behind the bar - to make it feel special.
How to Eat Like a Local in Vienna, Austria
Mohr im Hemd” from any Viennese gasthaus or traditional restaurant such as Steman, Gasthaus am Spittelberg or Gmoakeller. It’s a Christmas pudding-shaped chocolate cake filled with molten chocolate and topped with whipped cream. It’s death on a plate and just fantastic—much better than Sachertorte.
