A creative, vegetable-forward modern Austrian bistro with excellent flavors, small portions, strong wine and NA list; great vibe but pricing and portion sizes divide diners.
Rosi delivers exceptional seasonal cooking with creative vegetable-forward dishes and strong wine and beverage knowledge that elevate the experience. However, inconsistent pacing and occasional execution lapses prevent a higher grade, while tight seating and cramped conditions during peak service limit overall appeal. Worth visiting for curious eaters who value culinary creativity over comfort and portion size.
The room feels warm and bustling, a modern take on a Viennese Gasthaus where small plates and a chatty team set the tone. One guest noted, "Service talked us through the seasonal lineup," while another warned it can get quite loud when packed. Near Schönbrunn, it reads like a neighborhood find with a terrace and friendly polish rather than formality. The cooking leans vegetable-forward and seasonal, modern Austrian with playful touches like wild garlic Mapo tofu, delicate kohlrabi, and excellent sourdough with whipped butter. Flavors run clean and focused more than showy, backed by a strong natural wine and standout non-alcoholic list. Expect small plates meant for sharing—the kitchen favors finesse over heft—great for curious eaters who enjoy creative twists. Families are welcome—several guests brought babies comfortably—and staff are accommodating. That said, there is no classic kids menu, and much of the food skews inventive: bread and butter, simple salads, and the chef’s Maultaschen are the most child-friendly picks. If your crew needs big portions or very familiar flavors, plan to add bread or consider brunch for broader choices.
