Sem Restaurant, Armenian & Russian - Belvederegasse 17

It's a nice caucasian restaurant with european taste adaptation, meaning no spiciness. Very short menu comparing to other places, but what's there is very good.

I didn’t hate my overall experience there, but there was a piece of steel wire in my soup! It looks like it’s from a wire brush/ball that one uses to clean pans and pots. Pretty disgusting! They gave us four chocolate balls as a good gesture for apologies. But I think they should’ve not charged us for that soup. The waitress was very nice and friendly, food was okay, but the Russian guy (perhaps the boss there) was not very amiable.

Yes, interiors can scare you a bit but food here is extremely good. Khinkali, khachapuri, shashlyk - all great! Staff is always friendly and helpful. Cannot wait restaurants reopening to come again. The only issue is wine variety - I’m not a big fan of Georgian wines so I’d recommend to take some sparkling water or vodka here.

Best place ever. Semburger onelove❤️? Friendly Cheff Sam ell and his Assistent Svetlana always ready to make your dinner magic.

Nice little finding with good price and well done food. The Hühnerbrust salad was very tasty and the decoration inside is cozy

Most of the dishes/plates are not related neither to Russian nor to Armenian cousins. Using kitchen of other countries is not respectful to be honest.

Looking for a quick evening meal for my wife, daughter and myself, we decided to visit Semburger. Firstly don't think a restaurant called Semburger sells burgers even though photos of their own menu on Google Maps will inform you that they do (including veggie burgers). When I queried this slight anomally with the proprietor he started waving his arms around and saying they never had sold burgers! Changing tack and trying to be flexible I asked about an alternative vegetarian food option and a vegetarian pizza was suggested. We decided against ordering food and ordered just drinks instead. I clearly said “nur Getränke” (only drinks). They then brought over a disgusting looking microwaved ‘pizza’ (we heard the microwave bell 'ping') sprayed with some type of ghastly ketchup for which they had the audacity to charge us €5.90. They either deliberately misunderstood us in order to rip us off or were stupid. I suspect the former, although watching the bill being calculated I can't entirely eliminate the latter either. Pathetic. This must be one of, if not the, worst restaurants in Vienna. Visit at your peril!

Delicious food and good service! Very friendly owner. Definitely will be back when visiting Vienna again.
