Creative vegetarian dining with a leafy garden and international flavors; excellent food but service consistency and reservation reliability can vary.
Hollerei delivers solid neighborhood dining through exceptional food quality and a charming garden setting with art gallery ambiance, but inconsistent execution and variable service quality prevent it from reaching higher territory. The creative vegetarian-fusion menu and generous portions appeal to its core audience, though reservation and billing issues occasionally undermine the experience.
Tucked on a quiet street near Schönbrunn, Hollerei feels warm and leafy thanks to its candlelit garden and rotating art. Service is often kind and helpful, and plates arrive looking vibrant. One diner summed it up: "We tried a range of dishes and loved how fresh everything tasted." However, be aware that reservations can misfire and service can swing from charming to curt. The cooking leans creative vegetarian fusion more than strict tradition: Thai curry with lemongrass rice, bulgogi-style noodles, and a quinoa-bean burger sit alongside handmade gnocchi and seasonal asparagus. Flavors are bold and produce-driven rather than fussy, ideal for diners who enjoy international twists on familiar formats. Portions are generous—especially the sharing platter—so a starter and one main can be plenty for two at lunch. Families will find it accommodating without a kids menu: safe bets include the burger and gnocchi, mild curries, and chocolate desserts. Adventurous little eaters may enjoy udon or hummus platters. If your crew sticks to plain comfort food, scan the menu pictures first; the focus is vegetables and spice-forward sauces rather than classic meat-centered plates.
