Silvio Nickol - Coburgbastei 4

Beautiful restaurant in the Palais Coburg. The service was amazing and the dishes a real delicacy, each one both artistic and full of taste. We loved this place!

Located in the luxury Hotel Palais Coburg Restaurant Silvio Nickol fits the fine dining mold in its Tasting Menu format, though white gloves are instead black and gold is replaced by sizable displays of amethyst while plates take chances in terms of taste and constituents. Trained by Heinz Winkler with Michelin 2* since 2012, global influences backed by peerless Ingredients plus skill, it is once inside the Hotel that guests are checked in and led to an elevator, departure from which leads to crisp linen and impeccable service. Largely playing host to well-heeled residents, and on this occasion a mother with two Children poorly suited for 150-minutes of Carte Blanche dining, music plays almost imperceptibly as Sparkling Wine is poured to accompany Canapes includin thinly-sliced Buffalo in Buckwheat Tea that is impressive but Curried Sweetbreads in a laser-cut Eggshell even more spectacular. Baking Bread on-site, wedges of the piping-hot Loaf soon gilded with Butter and herbed Lardo, course one comprised Goose Liver Mousse with Nuts, Flowers and Apples, as delicious as it was attractive while a follow-up of raw Amberjack with crispy Sunchokes, cubed Mango and Caviar was a textural work of art. Frequently blurring the boundaries of Austrian Cuisine, a Langoustine with Fennel Bouillabaisse but one example, course four saw a small-bite of Pork Tartare precede the prized cut of Pata Negra served across Sauce infused with Soy and Tarragon linking it to Eggplant. Taking a chance with Catfish atop a complex Sauce both sweet and saline, the result irrefutably striking, a single Raviolo of Duck Confit was quickly followed by rosy red Magret again perfectly Sauced with earth and a hint of Olive that pushed the plate past the sum of its parts. All fun with the Citrus Palate Cleanser, a smile on the plate quickly transferred to its recipient, Chef Nickol’s Cheese course was nothing short of mesmerizing as Mimolette and Truffle competed for the spotlight atop contrasting tastes, consistencies and temperatures. Transitioning to Dessert with Styrian Pumpkin Seeds atop a creamy base, not bad but lacking the intrigue of Chef’s other plates, a follow-up of early-Spring Rhubarb performed well on a sour backdrop while Mignardises spanned the palate before ending with a Madeline fresh from the oven.

I absolutely loved this restaurant and the whole experience. It’s fine dining at the highest level. The food and the presentation of each little bite was outstanding, wine was excellent too. The atmosphere a bit stiff, like any fine dining restaurant but we were in a big group so we had a great time. It is expensive but I would say it was worth every penny.

This is what I expect from Michelin star restaurant. Fabolous courses, elegant, creative, and super delicious. The little forest full of foie gras was the best as well as polenta with truffles and delicious sturgeon tartare! The staff was very nice and professional. The whole restaurant is beautiful. I will go back to Silvio Nickol restaurant with pleasure.

WoW, what an experience. The service is great, but above all the food is just amazing. Not sure how they achieve it, but each dish is special in it's own ways and the combination of items on the plate just compliment each other perfectly. Every bite is a unique experience. Well worth it.

Not just dinner, but an experience. The food was exquisite and the wine pairing fantastic. The staff was extremely friendly an helpful. The setting is beautiful. Hopefully we can eat here again on a next visit to Vienna.

Wow, wow, wow! You must try this culinary adventure.. Each dish is a magic, so creative and tasty. The service was above and beyond. The wines are unique. Super happy I chose this restaurant for my last dinner in Vienna!

Exactly what you expect from 2 Michelin stars restaurant. The atmosphere was not too uptight so we had a great time. The staff very professional and friendly. The food was like an art itself . Combinations of flavors I could not even imagine. All beautifully served. The wine pairing was spot on too. Thank you for the true culinary experience.
