Restaurant in Vienna, Austria
Seasonal cooking, accessible price, low booking friction.
Kommod is one of Vienna's most accessible Michelin-recognised addresses, with back-to-back Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025 and a 4.7 Google rating at the €€ price tier. In the residential 8th district, it delivers seasonal cooking in a relaxed, neighbourhood setting — a practical first choice for a considered daytime or weekend meal without the budget or formality of Vienna's starred restaurants.
Getting a table at Kommod is easier than at most Michelin-recognised restaurants in Vienna, which makes it one of the more accessible entry points into the city's seasonal cuisine scene. Booking difficulty is low relative to peers, so there is no reason to plan weeks in advance — but given its 4.7 Google rating across 129 reviews and back-to-back Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, do not assume you can walk in on a weekend morning without a reservation. For a first visit, book ahead by a few days and you should be fine.
Kommod sits at Strozzigasse 40 in Vienna's 8th district, a residential neighbourhood that draws locals rather than tourists. The address puts you in the Josefstadt quarter, away from the first-district crowds, which shapes the feel of the room considerably. Expect a dining space that reads as neighbourhood-first: the scale is intimate rather than grand, and the atmosphere runs closer to a well-run local restaurant than a formal tasting-menu destination. For a first-timer, that means you are not walking into a stiff, white-tablecloth environment. The room rewards guests who want to eat well without the ceremony that comes with Vienna's top tier.
The physical setting is well suited to a weekend brunch or morning visit precisely because of its scale. A smaller, quieter room in a residential district means the daytime service does not carry the energy of a dinner rush. If weekend brunch in a relaxed but quality-driven setting is what you are after, Kommod's location and spatial character work in your favour. Compare this to a venue like Steirereck im Stadtpark, where the dining room is architecturally dramatic and the service choreography is precise — Kommod is a different register entirely, and that is not a criticism.
The kitchen works with seasonal cuisine, meaning the menu follows what is available rather than a fixed format. For a first-timer, this is worth knowing: do not arrive expecting a static menu you can preview and plan around. What seasonal cuisine at this price point (€€) typically means in Vienna's current restaurant environment is a concise menu, ingredient-driven cooking, and a value proposition that sits well above the price. Michelin's Plate designation , awarded consecutively in 2024 and 2025 , signals cooking that meets Michelin's quality threshold without yet carrying star status. That is a meaningful credential at the €€ tier.
Brunch and weekend service angle matters here. Seasonal kitchens often show their strengths most clearly in daytime formats, where lighter preparations and market-sourced ingredients translate well. For a first visit focused on morning or weekend eating, Kommod offers a more considered plate than most Viennese café-style alternatives, without requiring the budget or the occasion that a four-course dinner demands. If you are in Vienna for a short stay and want one daytime meal that goes beyond a standard café, this is a sensible choice.
For context on how seasonal cuisine operates at higher price tiers in Austria, Kirchenwirt in Leogang and Fields by René Mathieu in Luxembourg represent the format taken further. Within Vienna itself, Amador and Doubek operate in the creative and modern space at comparable or higher price points if you want to extend your research.
Reservations: Easy to secure a few days in advance; same-week booking is realistic for most dates. Budget: €€, making this one of Vienna's more accessible Michelin-recognised addresses. Dress: No dress code is specified; given the neighbourhood setting and price tier, smart casual is appropriate and likely the norm. Getting there: Strozzigasse 40, 1080 Wien , the 8th district is well connected by tram and U-Bahn from central Vienna. Phone/website: Not publicly listed in current records; check reservation platforms directly or search the venue name for current booking options.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
A few days is usually enough. Same-week bookings are realistic for most dates, which puts Kommod well ahead of higher-pressure Michelin-recognised spots in Vienna. If you have a fixed date in mind, book 3–5 days out to be safe rather than on the day.
Bar seating details are not confirmed in available records for Kommod. Given the €€ price point and accessible booking pattern, it reads as a full-service seated restaurant rather than a counter-dining format — check the venue's official channels via their address at Strozzigasse 40 to confirm walk-in or bar options.
Kommod is in a residential part of Vienna's 8th district and sits at the €€ price tier, so the atmosphere skews neighbourhood restaurant rather than formal dining room. Clean, neat casual fits the context — there is no indication from the venue's Michelin Plate recognition or pricing that a dress code is enforced.
Nothing in the venue record confirms a private dining room or large-group policy. At €€ pricing and with easy booking availability, small groups of 2–4 should book without issue; larger parties of 6 or more should check the venue's official channels at Strozzigasse 40, 1080 Wien before assuming capacity.
The kitchen works with seasonal cuisine, meaning the menu shifts with availability rather than running a fixed format — this can work in favour of dietary requests, as kitchens operating this way tend to have flexibility. That said, specific allergy or dietary accommodation policies are not confirmed in venue records, so flag requirements when booking.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
