Bodega El Gusto - Vienna

Located within a short walk from the Karlsplatz station, and is centrally located from many of the historical buildings. I came here for late lunch/early dinner one day, walked in hungry but walked out pleased. Just arriving at Vienna for the first time, I was...actually hoping to eat traditional Vienna food but was too tired to look for anything else, walked in to the first restaurant I spotted. Since they just opened for the day (around 4pm , no other customers were here. I kept thinking initially why am I eating Spanish Tapas in Austria? Why we are the only one here? As soon as I started talking to a server, my concern wasn't there anymore. A server was from Spain and he spoke Spanish and English with me. He took time to explained about the menu. I quickly spotted one of my favorite wine and happily waited for my food. The kitchen was located next to the dinning area (open kitchen , I started smelling squid, garlic, ... My anticipation for the food grew as I patiently waited for my food. Tapas for two was £30, and just about right amount of food for two of us. Thinking back, compared to some Austrian food served during my short stay, portion size may seem small, but as Spanish tapas, portion served was just right (I thought.. . I ended up having two glasses of Spanish wine, food and wine paired perfectly. Tapas for two comes with five different hot tapas. Trying to think which one was favorite, I think shrimp with garlic. Free wifi, which is always nice for out of the country visitors like me. Nice decor, playing football on TV, I felt like I was in Spain, so after La Cuenta, por favor, I walked out with satisfied tummy, I looked around the buildings to remember I was still in Austria.

Came here with a group of 10 people. Overall had a great time. Typical tapas options. The grilled octopus was especially yummy. Had several nice bottles of wine. Service was great. Nice selection of jamon iberico. I would definitely recommend. It was nice to get...away from the tourist hoards!

Wirklich gutes essen, Kellner Freundlich Preise okay. Alles in allem gerne wieder

Ich finde es ist ein gutes spanisches Restaurant in Wien. Ich mag die Einrichtung und man kann sehen wir der Kochchef da kocht...der Preis ist in Ordnung und ich finde wir sollten nicht es mit den in Spanien vergleichen weil die ganzen Lieferungen etc. Natürlich anderes sind...

Spitzen Essen und toller Service. Freu mich schon auf den nächsten Besuch. Vielen Dank.
