Konstantin Filippou
Two Michelin stars in the Innere Stadt — Austrian-Greek precision since 2013.
Vienna's imperial core — Stephansdom, Hofburg, kaffeehaus institutions, fine-dining anchors
Vienna's first district sits inside the Ringstraße and carries almost the entire imperial register — Stephansdom at the centre, the Hofburg palace complex one tram stop west, the Burgtheater and the Staatsoper bookending the Ring, the Graben and Kohlmarkt couture streets running between them. The kaffeehaus institutions that define the city are here: Demel, Sacher, Central, Hawelka, Landtmann. The fine-dining anchors that matter — Konstantin Filippou, Shiki, Tian, Yohm — sit within ten minutes' walk of each other. The gezgin uses the 1. Bezirk for the booked-six-weeks-out dinner, the morning Melange at a marble-topped table that has been there since the 1870s, and the post-Staatsoper light supper. Inside the Ring everything is walkable; outside it the city becomes a different proposition.
