Restaurant recommendations in these cities would be greatly appreciated,
And if you have one in Bratislava or Cesky Krumlov, I’m interested in those.
Please let me know if they have fish options, as I don’t eat a lot of meat. (I might have a heard time in Prague based on my last trip)
Steirereck In Vienna
+1
If you are into SQN, you might find some on the list at/below US Retail.
In Prague, Kolkovna in the old town is a great, inexpensive Brewery/Pub Restaurant.
There are many great restaurants in Budapest.
We went to a restaurant called Tigris near the Four Seasons. It is excellent.
Great wine list with all the Szepsys on the list and absolutely stunning foie gras.
All the foie is goose liver and fresh local product. The Hungarians sell foie gras to the French.
With you not eating meat and wanting fish , I know this might not be the best suggestion but it is one of the really nice places.
I tell restaurants that I’m on the fish and fois gras diet.
Budapest: Csalogany 26. Highly recommended. A bit out of the city center, but worth the brief metro ride. As mentioned, there are lots of good options in Budapest. For example, Borkonyha gets a lot of hype. It was very good, but if I had to plan my meals in Budapest again, I’d eat at Csalogany 26 more and skip Borkonyha!
Vienna: Gasthaus Poschl is a terrific, authentic spot for a casual lunch reasonably near the Spanish Riding School and Stephansplatz. It’s roughly equidistant between Stadtpark and the Palace. Filled with locals, they offer wonderful soups daily (we visited in February, so very welcome) as well as typical Viennese fare (schnitzel, sausages, etc…) and other specials.
Thank to all responders!
Wow, the fois at Tigris seems very compelling. Now i need to decide which to drop from
Costes
Onyx
Halaszbastya (for the romantic setting more than the mood)
Laci! Konya!
anyone have a less than stellar experience of one of these 4? Otherwise, I’ll have to do Tigris for lunch.
I tried both Costes and Onyx about 3 years ago. Definitely liked Costes better (younger, more vibrant vibe). To be fair, I was feeling a bit under the weather when we were at Onyx.
For Vienna I would also add Do & Co restaurant - good food and a fantastic view of St. Stephen’s cathedral.
Right now my lineup in Vienna is
1)vestibul
2) opus
3)steirereck
4) Tian
5) Mraz
Any experiences with these (steirereck got props above)?
I looked at Do and Co; seemed too international at the time but it might be great for lunch. I know they have a good reputation; I’m flying Vienna airways and they are the caterers – it’s supposed to be one of the few really good airline meals.
Csalogany does get great reviews but it seems like it’s limited choices - or maybe the website is missing the a la carte menu.
I couldn’t tell if Gashsus Poschl had fish options - the pictures seemed like the food was pretty heavy. But all the recommendations are appreciated!
I know Steirereck fairly well. Been many times. Great people, I mean seriously nice. The place is all class and has terrific food. Go very hungry and let them feed you. Bring a mad bread and cheese appetite too. You’ll see. 
I recently told a friend I loved Steirereck and he put me on to Mraz for my upcoming trip in Dec. I cannot wait for that one now too. Have a great time!!
Steireck was awesome, as was opus. Mraz was excellent, Tian just ok for me, vestibul not exciting. Do and Co fusion food that you can get all over LA
Costes was fantastic!! Costes downtown was ok. Halasbastya was a great time and good food, the fois was subpar at Tigris (and they remved the charge).
Costes is definitely a must.
