OPUS - Vienna

This was a true treat. The food was sublime and the service was superb (compliments to the senior and junior server). The table had two favourites the lobster and the dover sole (the latter was truly delicious). I had the lobster, dover sole, celery sandwich (do not knock until you try it), the duck and for dessert fig crème brûlée (wow). A wonderful experience which I hope many people will enjoy.

Our wedding anniversary is on Christmas Eve and it’s often challenging to find a restaurant that is open and offering a menu and service that hasn’t slipped owing to the holidays. It’s been hit and miss over the years, even at expensive, Michelin-starred restaurants. Fortunately, we chose well this year, and OPUS was simply magnificent. The team simply could not have created a more enjoyable experience. The room is fairly small and elegant, with barely a dozen tables. This creates the sense of intimacy and calm that I have found typical of the best restaurants. The noise level is perfect, with conversations conducted with ease. The Christmas Eve menu was a five course seasonal tasting menu with accompanying wine pairings. An amuse bouche was followed by lobster, Danube salmon, venison, a chocolate dessert, and Christmas cookies. All were wonderful, with the venison filet a particular favourite. The wines were all Austrian, and all were a pleasant surprise: light, dry, and perfectly matched to the food. The service was exceptional: attentive and friendly but not intrusive. Each course was explained, each wine introduced. I should mention that we hadn’t told OPUS it was our anniversary, but the hotel had clearly passed on the message and our Christmas cookies were discretely augmented with an Imperial torte (yum). OPUS was easily of the highlights of our stay in Vienna. The fact they managed such an experience on Christmas Eve, when so many other high-profile restaurants have stumbled, suggests exceptional attention to standards and customer service. When we return to Vienna, we will return to OPUS and the Imperial Hotel.

Nach Adlon ( Berlin ) im Lorenz und dem Number One im Balmoral ( Edinburgh) gleichfalls begeistert.Da im Rahmen eines Pauschalangebotes des Wiener Opern Konzertes besucht konnte der kulinarische Besuch nur kurz erfolgen.Das erste positive Erlebnis wird die Basis eines Widerholungsbesuches sein.Sehr guter und freundlicher Service. Tolles Ambiente. Gerne wieder.

Waren dort und haben einen wunderschönen Abend verbracht. Das 5 Gänge Menü konnten wir aus den verschiedenen Menü Empfehlungen zusammenstellen mit der dazugehörigen Weinbegleitung. Wir haben selten so gut wie im Opus gegessen. Dann abgesehen von der hervorragenden Bedienung. Äußerst freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es war ein Genuss.

Das 5 Gänge Menü war hervorragend.Das Restaurant ist äußerst flexibel bezüglich der Anpassung des Menüs auf Wünsche der Gäste.Einziger Minuspunkt:Exorbitante Preise bei den Weinen. Selbst für ein Restaurant dieser Preisklasse.Trotzdem sehr zu empfehlen!
