Creative modern Austrian sharing plates with natural-leaning wines; excellent flavors but small portions, strict time slots, and service inconsistencies—book ahead and come for the cooking, not comfort.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
DasDrittl delivers excellent food quality with creative modern Austrian plates that reward adventurous eaters, but inconsistent execution in service pacing and tight seating comfort prevent it from reaching higher territory. The experience excels for food-focused adults seeking seasonal creativity, though strict two-hour time slots and small portions at premium pricing create friction that tempers overall satisfaction.
Restaurant Summary
By night, a bakery turns into a modern Austrian bistro where the room feels warm and bustling but can edge noisy as it fills. Service energy swings from friendly explanations to rushed pacing under strict time slots. One diner summed it up: "Fantastic flavors, though we wished we could linger without the clock." In the kitchen, the team plays confidently with crossovers: kombu dashi around Schlutzkrapferl, labneh and black garlic with asparagus, and a pepper-forward tartare. Expect creative, seasonal plates that reward curious eaters more than traditionalists. Portions run small, so plan on multiple dishes and lean into the natural-leaning wine list if that is your thing. For families, the experience skews adult. Seating can be tight, flavors are adventurous, and there is no clear kids menu. While a vegan stuffed pepper and simple bread-and-butter could suit some, overall it is better for food-loving adults than picky younger diners.
