Ein kulinarisches TOP-Erlebnis (für Auge und Gaumen) mit exzellentem, herausragendem und vor allem sehr persönlichem Service! Perfekt abgestimmtes Timing bei den 7-Gängen und sehr gut dazu passende Getränkeempfehlungen! Der 21. Geburtstag meines Sohnes wurde dadruch ein absolutes Highlight für die gesamte Familie! Vielen Dank für den unvergesslichen und wunderschönen Abend!

This was absolutely a dining experience. We did the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings. It was pricey but well worth it for the experience. The food was beautiful, perfectly prepared and paired with a great wine. The service was impeccable and quiet for a romantic dinner or an intimate conversation with friends. I highly recommend it and will go back next time I am In Vienna.

I will start with the ambience. The resteraunt is a beautiful example of 1930s decor. Magnificently maintained. Things only get better from there. The service was impeccable, from start to finish. The food started with several amazing amuse bouche. We chose a 5 course dinner including desert, with wine pairings. Everything was amazing. On par with most Michelin rated restaurants I have had the pleasure of dining in. Dinner finished with some bonus desert bites. Depending on the number of courses you select, you need to plan your time accordingly. You will not be rushed. Having said that, service was prompt, attentive and not intrusive. The staff were knowledgeable and help you make exquisite choices. We did not sample the vegetarian menu, though it did look very interesting. Comparable to the regular menu. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more strongly. A must not miss

Outstanding service and an amazing dinner! Highly recommended. I took my mother to Opus for her Birthday celebration before a Musikverein concert later in the evening and Opus delivered one of the best meals she’s ever had! Thank you Opus. We were very impressed with the quality of service and michelin star experience. We’ll be customers for life.

Wie immer, nette Begrüßung, schöner Tisch. Man hat genug Zeit um die Speisen zu wählen und die Beratung ist auch ausgezeichnet. Das Essen und die Weinbegleitung für mich immer wieder ein neues Erlebnis. Die Zwischengerichte sehr abwechslungsreich und für meinen Geschmack eine wenig, aber nur ganz wenig, zu viel. Mann bekommt leider nur drei Gänge hinunter. Wir freuen uns immer wieder wenn wir dieses Lokal besuchen.

Super restaurant, wunderbares Konzept mit 12 Gerichten, aus denen Sie nach Belieben ein 11-7- oder 5-Gänge-Menü zusammenstellen können. sehr schön eingestellte österreichische weine. Ich war in der Vergangenheit in vielen 2-Sterne-Restaurants und dieses ist ganz oben. Ich kann nicht glauben, dass sie hier keinen Stern haben.

Wir kommen mehr oder weniger regelmäßig um besondere Anlässe zu feiern . Die beiden Menüs sind von hoher Qualität, sehr kreativ und handwerklich mit Top-Produkten hervorragend zubereitet. Das wählen der Speisen aus beiden Menüs ist sehr angenehm, wir empfehlen die Menüs weil die empfohlene Speisenfolge sehr harmonisch ist. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die Qualität des Services, der überaus freundliche Maitre und seine Kollegin beraten kompetent, sie sind immer präsent aber niemals aufdringlich (wie wir es leider in vergleichbaren Restaurants schon erleben mussten). Alles in allem eine runde Sache und wir kommen gerne wieder !

Ambiente anni 70 e non sembra siano passati 50 anni. Oggi lo definirei antiquato. Piatti buoni ma che assolutamente non ricorderò nel tempo; al mio gusto sapori disordinati e senza coerenza. Buona la presentazione. Servizio che per un ristorante di quel livello lascia a desiderare; all'uscita abbiamo dovuto prendere i soprabiti dal guardaroba da soli. Conto che sarebbe stato adeguato per un ristorante stellato (e questo non lo merita di certo).

We chose Opus as a restaurant for a special birthday celebration and it did not disappoint!! The food was simply sublime - beautifully presented, exquisite to the pallet, - a little bit of heaven on earth! Service was very professional and friendly! And in addition to the tasting menu we selected, we were offered a range of amuse bouches which were also so tasty! To end the evening, knowing it was my husband's birthday, they presented him with a cake too! A wonderful evening and if we return to Vienna we will no doubt book again! Highly recommend it!

A wonderful evening celebrating our wedding anniversary with a seven course tasting menu. My husband also took the wine flight but as I don’t drink wine I opted for the non-alcoholic cocktail package which was very good. The food was delicious and the service impeccable and very friendly.
