We came to Steirereck expecting a world-class experience from a Michelin 3-star restaurant, but it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had.
One of the dishes we ordered -- the veal kidney -- was almost half raw, with a terrible smell and taste. When we mentioned it to the staff, instead of showing any concern or offering to replace the dish, a female server told us that "it's supposed to taste that way." Her tone was dismissive and condescending.
As someone who also eats organ meats in my own culture, I can confidently say this was not about taste preferences -- it was simply undercooked and inedible. The fact that the staff tried to justify it rather than provide any basic hospitality was shocking, especially for a restaurant with such a reputation.
The service throughout the meal was extremely poor -- cold, arrogant, and completely lacking the warmth or professionalism one would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant.
For the high prices they charge, this place is absolutely not worth visiting. I would strongly advise anyone considering coming here to think twice -- Steirereck does not deserve its three stars. read more
