You might have seen it in architectural magazines, or you might have heard food critics speak passionately about it. Located in the heart of one of Vienna’s most famous parks, Steirereck restaurant is not your usual Michelin-starred restaurant. And this is obvious from the very first moment.
Its architecture is as unique as its food. You might want to call it the ‘chameleon’ of Stadtpark as it perfectly blends into its surroundings. In fact, shadows and lights are perfectly reflected on the restaurant’s façade redefining the borders between reality and illusion.
