Helmut Österreicher, one of the country's preeminent chefs, has brought the philosophy of inexpensive, moderately portioned food to this lovely setting inside the Museum of Applied Arts. The restaurant is a destination in itself, but also a great way to extend your museum visit. The contemporary Austrian culinary creations include tomato soup with cucumber and herb Gervais cheese, spinach noodles with Austrian blue cheese, and veal meat loaf.

We had a dynamite Nouveau Austrian lunch at the Osterreicher im MAK a couple of weeks ago. The ambience is open, contemporary, chic with an enormous chandelier over the bar made from hundreds of clear glass bottles - very cool. The lunch special, about 17 euro, was a lovely salmon with savory sauce, mashed potatoes and spinach. The Lentil Duck soup was spicy, thick and hot and the dessert strudel was out of this world. The soup and dessert were extra (about 6 euro each). The service was attentive and charming, making our lunch a total delight.
