A special occasion spot - Edit
We had an excellent dining experience which lasted close to 5 hours. Food was wonderful as was the wine but it’s a full evening dedicated to dining and savoring the complex meal shared with others.

Go to Jola Instead - Edit
Very disappointing experience for the price and Michelin rating, especially compared to the other vegan fine-dining option in Vienna (Jola). The vegan menu seems far inferior to the vegetarian menu. Our main course was gnocchi which tasted like bits of dough in bland tomato sauce. Other dishes also lacked flavor and portions were very small, we had to get a second meal elsewhere. Go to Jola instead for a far better vegan fine-dining experience!

Dear Guest,
Read morethank you for visiting the TIAN Bistro am Spittelberg and sharing your review.
We regret hearing that your experience did not meet your expectations.
It seems there might be some confusion regarding our establishments, that we would like to clarify. Unlike our TIAN Restaurant, which has been awarded with a Michelin star and offers a fine dining experience, our TIAN Bistro aims to provide a more casual dining experience. We apologize about the misunderstanding.
Please rest assured that the vegan dishes are created with just as much love as the vegetarian ones. However, we are sorry to hear, that the current seasonal menu did not meet your taste.
Thank you again for your honest feedback and your visit.
Best regards,

Excellent - Edit
We had a shared menu, one half vegan, other half vegetarian. The (very friendly!) waitress always pointed the non-vegan ingr out. The food was amazing and most of the food was vegan anyways. Over all a 10/10 experience!

Revised: Sad but will not return (Original: Wow....! What a special, delightful experience to eat here!) - Edit
Revising my July 2023 review, when I gave this place 5 stars. In my 3rd visit (July 2024), some of the dishes were still great (their desert is still so, so good), but the service was poor, a few dishes were only okay (wasn't a fan of sour gnocchi devoid of umami), the bread was stale (never happens in Austria!!), and they charged us a bottle of wine we didn't order. Our main female server was unfriendly, and when I said the bread was too hard, she had an attitude, and the second basket was exactly the same stale bread. To their credit, when a male server came and asked about everything and I mentioned bad bread, he brought it to the kitchen and came back admitting it was stale, and comped our cappuccinos. But then as I was about to leave, wondering why this was more expensive than last week (my second visit, which was 4 stars, with a super friendly male server and great, fresh bread, but very salty risotto), it turned out that the first unfriendly server charged us a bottle of wine (54 euros) we didn't order. Then instead of returning the money back to my credit card, they gave me the cash, which is not great (my US credit card gets charged fees for the amount). I was with my 81-year-old mom visiting all the way from Tokyo, so excited to bring her to this place, and it was just really sad how it wasn't the same joy and deliciousness, and how rude and unprofessional this server was. This was the first time I didn't have my Austrian friend with me, and I wonder if that's why they treated us badly (we were speaking to each other in Japanese), even charging us something we didn't order. I won't return, sadly.
Read more(Original review, July 2023) The food here was not only very, very tasty, but also original, beautifully presented, and nourishing. Each of the four courses was brought at a perfect pace by attentive and friendly staff, who explained all the ingredients (some delightfully surprising, all so fresh) and how they were cooked. It was such an epic arc, from appetizers to desert! Everything was delicious, including drinks and bread, and all the dishes were so creative and complex, with layers of subtle flavors nicely integrated. For the unique and satisfying high-cuisine experience, the price was very reasonable. Loved the setting, as well. Other than cheesecake, one of the three dessert dishes we got as a group of three, everything was vegan!
Updated from previous review on 2023-07-13
Pros: Super delicious dishes with many fresh ingredients, Satisfying sequences from app to desert, Special high-dining experience at reasonable price
Cons: Revised: Unfriendly server, Revised: Stale bread, Revised: Over-charged us (by 54 euros)

Fantastic - Edit
wonderful athmosphere and great food - exquisite combinations of taste and texture bring various delicious dishes to your table, for example expertly seasoned lentil-stuffed red pepper and red beet tartar or one of the best mushroom risottos i ever had (and so much more!). they use a lot of regional and seasonal food so expect the menu to change throughout the year. definitely recommend!

Great experience and wonderful food - Edit
Wow, just wow. What a great experience and dinner my wife and I had at Tian Bistro am Spittelberg. We were seated in the outdoor seating area where we were able to choose a nice and private table in the back. Straight away we were impressed by how well organised and professional the staff was, while still being spontaneous and warm.
Read moreThere's a set menu with the only choice being a vegetarian or a vegan one. In the vegetarian one you will probably get some animal butter alongside the bread and there might be butter or cheese in some of the other dishes (e.g. the risotto). For the vegan menu, this was replaced by a vegan lavender 'butter' and the risotto was made with cashews. One of the desserts on the menu also was entirely different when you choose the vegan option.
All of the food was incredibly delicious, I couldn't fault any of it. Everything is prepared with care, which you can really see and taste. Some dishes were served cold, others warm. The kombucha was also very good.
One of the best restaurants I've visited in my lifetime. Hopefully they decide to go fully vegan one day.
Pros: Absolutely delicious , Shared fine dining , Staff is great
Cons: Not entirely vegan

A special place in Vienna! - Edit
I am so glad that I visited TIAN Bistro during my stay in Vienna! The food, the staff, the drinks, everything is spot on!
Read moreFirst of all, the food is amazing! Refined, tasty and creative with a lot of vegetables. The menu starts with different cold starters, followed by two warm starters, then two main dishes and last but not least two desserts. You share the food so you can taste every dish!
They serve several homemade drinks. I tried the kombucha, it was really delicious!
The staff is so friendly and professional. For example, our second course was already served even though we had not yet finished the first course. The waiter came to our table to tell us that he had asked the kitchen to slow down a bit so that we could take our time. He was very attentive. The staff also ask if you want the vegan or vegetable menu. I never had such friendly, wonderful service!

Very special - Edit
We were 4 people and had the sunday Brunch, we arrived at 11 and stayed till 14. Then the Bistro closes. We had a great time. It was very delicious, little expensive, but it's worth it. You have to reserve very early. I'm totally vegan and they switched the Butter and Kipferl for some vegan alternative. You have to share your food, so you should be there with some loved people, otherwise it could be strange 😅 And you can order a main-meal for your own. So that's really enough. 👍

Amazing restaurant that is plant based. The menu is seasonal (the pumpkin main dish made from three types of pumpkins was phenomenal) and is available as a vegetarian or vegan option. At 50(e)/person for a tasting menu of ~7 courses, the price is also excellent for the value/quality of the food.

Vegan and Veggie fine dining - Edit
My partner and I went here as a bit of a treat to ourselves while in Vienna. The main restaurant was booked but we managed to get a table here. The restaurant has two terraces as well as the inside which was good as we were there on a hot August evening.
Read moreThe restaurant has two options. The veggie or vegan tasting menu. We , of course, opted for the vegan tasting menu. The wine list is extensive with around 80 different wines, most of which are local. I am not familiar with Austrian wines so the waiter recommended a white natural wine for us . This was delicious.
For €51 each you get a lot of food. You have around 5 starter dishes, including bread and two mains with two desserts. For me the stand out dishes were the beetroot tartare, artichoke, stuffed courgette flowers and the chocolate dessert.
They have local schnapps that we finished our dinner with.
Pros: Elevated fine dining concept
Cons: Take some mosquito spray if you’re sitting outside

Exquisit flavours - Edit
The picture on happy cow does not do this bistro justice! The food is absolutely exquisit and I know will dream of the food for years to come. I already anticipate my return to Vienna, just so I can eat there again. Absolutely worth the money.
Read moreThe food is a set menu to share. When you book you do not have the option to specify vegan but when you sit down, you either choose vegan or vegetarian and then they bring you the correct dishes.
The wine might seem expensive but it is not for the quality. The wine we had was fabulous and so was the food. It’s all fresh and local - and you can tell! Absolutely magnificent flavour combinations and we did not go hungry.
The staff were absolutely wonderful too and speak German and English.

Amazing - Edit
I will start by saying that eating at Tian Bistro is not inexpensive. But I can also genuinely say this is one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. The work and expertise that must have gone into making this menu is mind blowing. The restaurant only offered the fixed price menu when we visited, no Ala Carte options. That would probably make it difficult for someone with food allergies. The menu is vegetarian and for the vegan option the only changes are oil with your bread instead of butter, and a different dessert. There were so many courses and amazing flavours I genuinely couldn’t keep track. The absolute standouts for me were the beet and mushroom tartar and the dessert of coconut rice pudding with basil herb ice cream. All I can say is that if your budget can stretch to eating at Tian Bistro its definitely worth the experience.
