Fodor's Expert Review Carpe Diem

$$$ The Altstadt Austrian

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Dietrich Mateschitz (who also invented the Red Bull energy drink) together with Jörg Wörther put their heads together to create something unique: small dishes—both savory and sweet—served in "cones." Pickled perch with artichokes and asparagus tips arrives in a polenta cone, while a potato cone bursts with prime beef with creamed spinach and horseradish. Mix and match to create a delicious meal; be prepared to have your bill add up quickly. There's also a regular menu served in the upstairs restaurant with dishes like lamb with a garlic and rosemary sauce and huchen, a local fish. You can either sit inside in the barlike atmosphere or, in summer, on the open terrace.
