Polished, modern Austrian spot above a flagship supermarket delivering solid classics and seasonal plates; food impresses, but service can be inconsistent and reservation policies frustrate some guests.
Das Mezzanin delivers reliable quality in a genuinely stunning historic setting—the converted bank space with soaring ceilings is a legitimate standout. Food quality shines with standout schnitzel and precisely cooked steaks, but inconsistent execution on secondary dishes and variable service attentiveness prevent a higher grade. It's a solid neighborhood choice with real ambiance appeal, competitive with the area's better dining options, though it lacks the consistency and distinction of grade A establishments.
Housed above a premium market in a former bank, this room feels chic and contemporary beneath soaring ceilings. Guests praise the polished setting and often note friendly, quick service, though some report long waits and firm seating rules. One diner put it simply: "Steak cooked just right, in a beautiful space." The cooking leans modern Austrian: crisp schnitzel, clear broths, and quality beef, alongside seasonal plates and a strong business lunch. Expect careful sourcing and straightforward flavors rather than theatrics; it suits diners who want elevated comfort in the city center. Families can make it work: kids tend to like schnitzel and fries, simple salads, and linguine. Stroller access is possible, but a few reviews mention chilly reception with prams; reserve standard-height tables and confirm space ahead of time.
