One Star: High quality cooking
Iconic chef Heinz Winkler really put his Residenz hotel on the culinary map. After opening this place in 1991, he remained at the helm, steadily building it up to become a benchmark for classical fine dining at the highest level. Upholding the tradition of the establishment is his son Alexander, as maître d'. A newly assembled and highly motivated kitchen team is sticking to the restaurant's tried-and-tested formula: classic cuisine with modern touches made with excellent ingredients – the turbot with smoked eel lardo bacon and a beurre blanc sauce is a shining example. Opt for one of the set menus or order from the à la carte selection, which includes Winkler's own legendary specialities – these are as much of a draw for diners as the elegant Venetian-style setting. The wine list is impressive and Alexander Winkler's recommendations are spot on. Friendly service.
