Closed Bahur Tov
Taborstraße 19
1020 Vienna

Reviewed 03. Nov 2008

One of a very few kosher restaurants in Vienna, Bahur Tov offers a number of excellent Israeli meze: falafel, humus, hazilim, home made pickles etc.

as well as a variety of kebabs - including rather exotic ones like heart or testicles.

Sehr gute, extrem traditionelle Wiener Küche, bei der die saisonalen Spezialitäten besonders ins Gewicht fallen: Innereien, Wild (Gams, Steinbock), Gans...

Reviewed 17. Aug 2009

Finally a place serving good green tea in Vienna!

I especially recommend the gyokuro shuppin with its intense and wonderfully fresh flavour.

Oh, and they have a good range of onigiri and Japanese sweets like daifuku - ideal for those who (like me) can't digest lactose and have to look for non-dairy-based sweets.

Obwohl es von außen nichts gleichschaut, handelt es sich um eines der besten chinesischen Lokale in Wien.

Ob Feuertopfbuffet oder à la carte - alles ist sehr gut und (noch wichtiger!) den Wiener Essensgewohnheiten nicht angepasst.

Great Sri Lankan food.

Idli, Hoppers, and rice served with sambar and all kinds of curries. As an added bonus, you can order the dishes "originalscharf", i.e. as hot as in Sri Lanka. Definitely recommended to all capsaizine junkies like myself.

The cheap outward appearance and rather strange name ('Pizzastandl') serve to disguise a place where you can dine on surprisingly good Styrian-Italian cuisine.

Closed Hanoi Express
Sechsschimmelg. 16
1090 Vienna

Reviewed 12. Aug 2009

Ausgesprochen gut (obwohl für mich persönlich durchaus noch ein Hauch mehr an frischen Kräutern, insbesondere Koriander, involviert sein könnte) und preiswert.

Auch als Take-Away sehr praktisch.

Das Interieur lässt sich vielleicht am ehesten als Betongarage mit Designergartenmöbeln aus Plastik beschreiben, hat aber durchaus seinen Reiz - es ähnelt den abertausenden Straßenrestaurants in diversen Schwellenländern und solchen der dritten Welt sehr und ist insofern wirklich nicht unpassend.

I have to admit that although I adore traditional Viêtnamese and Laotian food, I feel uncomfortable about its Europeanised, modernised, fancy-shmancy variety.

Decidedly not my favourite, however impeccable the service may be.

19, Old Bridge Street
TR1 2AH Truro

Reviewed 12. Aug 2009

Nice Nepalese restaurant in the heart of Truro.

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff - if you don't want to chat with the owner but prefer a cold and efficient atmosphere, this may not be the right place for you though.

Food is quite good, with the one caveat that most of the dishes on the menu are not in fact Nepalese but pretty standard Anglo-Indian fare, although very well done. I'd definitely recommend going for the real deal, i.e. the Nepalese dishes with their characteristic mixture of the tastes of lime, onion, coriander, chili, and masala.

Good and authentic sushi with free green tea - just as it should be.

Many Japanese customers seem to agree. This is where I usually go to get my fix of fresh raw fish.

Closed Kuishimbo
Linke Wienzeile 40
1060 Vienna

Reviewed 24. Feb 2009

Having spent four summers in a row in Japan in the late 1990s, I never got rid of a very strong craving for authentic Japanese food.

Kuishimbo is a place where I can finally get unadulterated Izakaya fare with a Southern Japanese twist: Okonomiyaki from Hiroshima, Kasutera from Kyushu (a 15th century Portuguese influence) and many more delights. This is the real thing, not the usual, in-flight menu style pan-Asian fusion crap many Viennese seem to love. If you are looking for a recommendation and have no objections against raw squid, then try the Ika-Natto. It is heavenly.

Closed One Eyed Cat Bar and Brasserie
116 Kenwyn Street
TR1 3DJ Truro

Reviewed 12. Aug 2009

My favourite place in Truro...

a cool bar and seafood-centred brasserie in a defunct chapel. Great food, good wine, strong coffee, unobtrusive lounge music during the day, a few tables outside for sunny days (although you'd miss out on the design of the place!) not expensive - especially not at lunchtime. Oh, and free WLAN as well.

If you need fresh African or Asian ingredients (some of which are rather rare to come by in Vienna), this is the place you want to shop at.

They also hold regular cooking classes hosted by trained cooks from different immigrant groups.

5 Quay Street
TR1 2HB Truro

Reviewed 12. Aug 2009

A great brasserie style place, featuring contemporary Cornish cuisine with a slight French/mediterranean twist.

Definitely recommended to everybody who - like me - has less than fond memories of 1980s British cuisine (you know, the time when you got bland, industrially produced grub almost everywhere) and wants to experience just how much it has changed for the better since then. Saffron's chef proves that the cuisine of Cornwall can easily be on par with that of its sister country, Brittany.

What makes this small restaurant special becomes apparent once you leave aside the so-so Japanese part of the menu and focus on what makes it popular with Korean expats in Vienna.

I'd personally recommend sharing Bulgogi, Bulgalbi, and a selection of Kimchis with a number of friends.

Delicious, authentic Mexican food.

Home made tortillas, really spicy salsas, rare delicacies like Cuitlacoche and... and... and. All in all lots of things you do not normally expect in Vienna, where "Mexican" restaurants are typically low-quality Tex-Mex joints run by people who have never been to Mexico.

One of the better Vietnamese places in Vienna.

Recommendation: ignore the 1970s China kitsch decor and the Chinese and "Thai" parts of the menu. The Vietnamese food is really good, on par with what they serve at the Saigon in the 16th district. Very nice (if tiny) garden directly adjacent to a quiet park.

Closed YUME
Bergmillergasse 3
1140 Vienna

Reviewed 03. Jun 2009

Ich muss leider sagen, dass ich mit den euphorischen Bewertungen dieses Lokals überhaupt nicht übereinstimme.

Das Essen ist nicht nur nicht japanisch (mehr amerikanisch-chinesisch mit ein paar wienerischen, japanischen und koreanischen Einsprengseln), es hat mich auch qualitativ nicht überzeugt. Der als Vorspeise servierte Moyashi Sarada war ausgesprochen widerlich. Sushi und Sashimi Moriyawase bestehen aus lächerlichen drei Fischsorten plus dem Industrieprodukt Surimi-Sticks. Die Miso-Suppe (mitsamt in Japan dafür nicht verwendetem Löffel) kommt als Vorspeise statt gleichzeitig mit dem Rest des Essens. Das Personal erkennt die Namen japanischer Gerichte nicht, wenn diese korrekt ausgesprochen werden und bessert einen auf wienerische Fehlaussprache hin aus. Statt Shochu wird deutlich billigerer chinesischer Mao Tai kredenzt. Etc. etc.

Allein, dass billigste Tiefkühlfrühlingsröllchen, die es in chinesischen Importgeschäften um ein paar Euro im Hunderterpack gibt, kredenzt werden, ist schon bedenklich genug. Aber der tiefe Humor, der sich in der Freunden servierten "Geburtstagsüberraschung" Bahn bricht, nämlich phallisch arrangierter, im Ganzen frittierter Bananen mit Lychees als "Hoden", schlägt dem Fass den Boden aus. Animateursschmäh aus dem All-Inclusive? Nein, danke.

Ich gebe zu, dass ich, was japanische Küche angeht, ein Fundamentalist bin. Aber wenn ich in ein Lokal gehe, das sich als japanisch bezeichnet, dann will ich auch wirklich japanisches Essen und japanische Atmosphäre - und nicht das, was das Wiener Vorstadtpublikum darunter versteht. Nein, danke.
