Opposite the Ronacher, the TIAN Restaurant Wien presents the highest standard of meatless cuisine in all its variety. The menu reads like a stroll through a vegetable garden. Chef Paul Ivic transforms fairly produced and organic products, including nearly forgotten types of vegetables, fruit and grains, into spectacularly refined dishes. Ivic also believes it is very important not to throw anything away and experiments a lot with all parts of the vegetable, from root to leaf. The TIAN has been awarded with a star by the Michelin Guide for its wonderful cuisine. It thus ranks among the world's best vegetarian restaurants.

TIAN offers uncomplicated vegetarian (and also vegan) cuisine with its bistro concept: at the TIAN Bistro am Spittelberg, you'll find wonderful vegetarian and vegan dishes for sharing that are served in the center of the table. Simple, yet refined cuisine.

Another tip for vegetarian cuisine is &flora in the Hotel Gilbert. Meat is also served here, but the focus is clearly on vegetarian dishes. Colorful, light cuisine with international influences, in which meat is served at most as a side order.

A bistro called Rosi specializes in vegetarian cuisine. Which is somewhat surprising, given that the menu at a Viennese bistro (called a Beisl) is usually centered around meat. This makes the modern vegetable cuisine served here all the more remarkable.
