Konstantin Filippou

In Konstantin Filippou's elaborate tasting menu, the spotlight is firmly on fish and seafood, with meat largely absent or relegated to a supporting role. One standout dish is the delicate, mousse-like brandade of Amur carp and potato, served on a bed of al dente, slightly tart white asparagus, finished with fragrant toasted almond pieces and almond purée, plus a dollop of caviar. His strikingly modern seven- to nine-course set menu showcases top-quality ingredients from international markets. As a native Styrian with Greek roots, the chef-patron discreetly incorporates influences from both his home province and Greek heritage. The minimalist interior is done out in a palette dominated by black and grey. The waitstaff are attentive and competent, including when it comes to recommending just the right wine – in addition, you will find one or two international treasures on the wine list. Alongside wine and alcoholic-free beverages, Champagne pairings are also available to complement the set menu.
