Compared to all other heurigers I've been to in Vienna, Heuriger Wieninger offers not only a better…read moretasting but also a superior quality food than most of its local competitors.
I tasted many dishes and here are the highlights:
- Cured ham, fig and balsamic salad - very tasty, which is expected from such dead ringers like the three above. I loved this dish especially in a combination with the tomato salad.
- Baked sheep cheese wrapped in cured ham - also very good. Great combination as a stand alone appetizer and goes perfectly with wine (both red and white) on a sunny afternoon.
- (Cheese) Spreads - I tasted four different cheese spreads: ham and horseradish; swiss cheese and pumpkin seed; wild garlic and spicy liptauer. All were excellent and should be consumed with an excellent variety of local breads.
- Baked meat crepe - excellent. A savory crepe filled with finely minced meat, topped with an egg and cream mixture and baked in the oven.
- Tomato salad - excellent. Made with different tomato varieties, which provides a variety of textures and tastes. Seasoned perfectly.
- Chocolate crepes - this dish would have worked a lot better if they used a higher quality chocolate and melted it themselves instead what seemed to be a chocolate sauce. All said and done, it was another solid dish that kids of every age would enjoy.
This is a heuriger that I look forward to visiting because of the food and not the view. I can't wait to go back.
