The aspirations of this place are clear, to present a fine dining experience, but the execution left me wanting. The waitstaff was competent if not polished. The decor was the same that you'd expect from an average Austrian restaurant, but lacking the sophistication that one would expect from an upscale restaurant. The food was well-prepared, but certainly far from surprising.... More

The chef at Tempel is an artist and creates dishes which are both visually attractive and tasteful, so don't expect chips, enormous portions or fast food - this is nouvelle cuisine. Tempel is quite small and is popular with local residents, so I recommend that you book. Closed Sunday and Monday. The Maitre d' speaks excellent English and will happily... More

After dark, this restaurant is not easy to find as only a small sign on the street indicates the entrance is at the end of a passageway between buildings. We were warmly greeted and seated in the charming main dining room. We ordered from the a la carte menu and especially enjoyed the very fresh salads and excellent lamb main... More

I was in Vienna with my darling partner and we were celebrating a special occassion and asked at our hotel (also a great place Austria Classic Wien) and were referred to this sensational food expierience. I rate this haunt as one of the best 4 meals I have ever had. Highly Highly Approve!!!!

Secured a last-minute reservation due to a cancellation by walking into the restaurant after lunch, but before they opened. According to our hotelier, this is a new location for a previous favorite that had seen better days. They've definitely gotten their act back together and are serving creative seasonal tasty meals in a beautiful artful setting. Although venison was offered... More

We went there for an anniversary dinner and were very impressed by the quality of the food and presentation. The menu is about right in terms of selection and the wine list very comprehensive and whilst we were tempted by many dishes finally choose to have the menu less the soup course together with the wine pairings(which were superb wines)....

The early diner special for 3 courses is a steal at 24 euros. The wine list is very reasonable, good choices for gruner veltliner. Service is courteous and genuine.

Worth seeking out this restaurant in Vienna for its fabulous food, great service, comprehensive wine list and good value for money. In short we would highly recommend this restaurant. The best meal we had in Vienna. Free appetizers were good before we started (some restaurants charge extra) and the all the three courses we had showed flair and expertise. Had... More

I wish I could recommend Tempel more highly. I wanted to like it. The people were very nice. The waiter was professional, attentive, friendly, and accommodating with English. The concept is good, although other than the "early bird" option, a bit expensive. The problem is the execution. I had the 4 course fixed menu with wine pairings (61 Euros for... More
