This quite possibly could evolve to be my new favorite restaurant in town. Hidden away in a courtyard off Rotenturmstrasse is a tiny, discreet, open-kitchen eatery, run by an Austrian chef who seems to have spent much of his working time in Asia. The menu changes daily, is sometimes type-, sometimes handwritten or, in our case, verbally presented by the lovely Korean hostess. €15.- will get you a three-course meal, ours was a plentiful, impossibly fresh Won-Ton soup, a truly yummy meat and vegetable main course and some fresh fruit and home-made yoghurt for dessert. Fantastic! The service was exemplary and the crowd as diverse as it gets; in the evening it seems to aim at a more business casual crowd, the prices are higher, but oh my, did the menu look promising! For my taste Kokoro combines all the necessary elements a good restaurant needs to have: sophisticated, playful and confident cuisine, welcoming and open atmosphere and a certain cosmopolitan approach which doesn't ever turn into snobism (which is rare in Vienna). If I could give it 6 stars, I would.
