A few days ago I went to a restaurant
here in Vienna and I really liked it. So I thought...why not make a
review about it! I think reviews are really helpful! I always read
through them on yelp before I go to a restaurant I've never been
before.
The restaurant is called “Mini“ and
it is in Vienna (Austria). It is actually also a winebar and it
serves internationally inspired Hungarian gourmet cuisine.
I went there a few evenings ago with my
best friend. She actually found it on yelp. We wanted to eat good
quality food somewhere, so this was the place to be.
We ate a “Grilled goat cheese with
garden salad, pears and walnut dressing“ (sounds fancy when you
actually write it down haha) and the daily cream soup, which was a
“Peas soup with mint and almonds“ for starters. They were really tasty, but
the plating techniques took me away! All the plates were designed with
so much detail! I've seen a lot of gourmet food plating, but in this
restaurant I saw some I've never seen before....I liked that!
For my main dish I made a great
decision choosing the “Braised
beef cheeks with mushroom-potato puree, romanesco and red wine
reduction“. (Wow it really sounds fancy!) The meat
was high quality and nicely cooked, the puree with the mushrooms made
a beautiful combination with the meat. And the sauce was of the
charts! I don't even wanna start talking about the plating! Just
magnificent! :)
And to top it off we decided to treat
ourselves with a dessert, that we shared, because there was no way we
could both eat one. We were sooo full! So for dessert we chose the
Chili
flavoured chocolate souffle with sour cherry sorbet. (Are you
drooling yet?) I have
kind of a thing for souffles, so evertime I go out and they're
offering a souffle in the menu, I have to try it! :P It was
delicious! Crusty outside and when you cut it in the middle the
chocolate poured out like a waterfall of happiness!! As you can see I
kinda liked it. :P
I accompanied my meal with a
non-alcoholic raspberry-lime juice. They had A LOT of options. I just
chose this one, because it combined my 2 faves...raspberries and
lemon oh yeah! :P If I had to say one “bad“ thing...the juice was
OK. I've tasted better ones, but it's not that important. They had a
lot other options to choose from. Plus it's mostly known fot it's
wines, so if I have the chance to go there again, I will definitely
choose something from their wine list!
It is a bit pricey, but it's high
quality! There is no way you'll find something like that cheaper!
Plus it is not the place you'll eat every day. But it is very suited
for when your parents come to visit you hahahah! I always use that,
because it's obvious that they are going to pay! :P But it is also
suited for a nice romantic dinner!...It calls for special occasions!
I can only highly recommend it! The
food was delicious, the service was fast and very friendly and the
whole ambiance was really nice!
If you live here there is no excuse to
not eat here at least once! And for everyone who wants to visit this
lovley capital city, I can only recommend it!
Hope you liked my review. Feel free to
