• Trust me, don't go here.

I honestly don't know how there can be so many positive reviews written here. It makes me feel like I ate at a completely different restaurant. The restaurant owner was strange. She only had 2 or 3 dishes out of her large menu, which was very disappointing, but being vegan, and having walked especially there (vegan restaurants in Vienna aren't exactly on every corner of the street), myself and my non-vegan friend decided to stay and choose one of the dishes she did have. I had a quinoa satay dish and my friend had the black rice noodles. DO NOT ORDER EITHER OF THESE TWO DISHES. My satay sauce dish was awful, to the point that whenever I think about it, I feel like throwing up. It was literally lots of quinoa, with a single pak choi on top and covered in a bit of satay sauce (which tasted questionable if anything else). I can't remember the last time I wasn't able to finish a meal purely out of dislike for it, but that dish had me gagging trying to eat it all. Needless to say, half of it was left on the plate. My friend's dish wasn't much better. It didn't look appetising and didn't taste much better. In fact, tasteless is the word that best describes it. The noodles were far too soft and mushy, and it was just not even close to restaurant standard food. Worst part is, this was my friend's FIRST experience with vegan food. First impressions are important, and I'm afraid to say my friend's experience with Martina's food wasn't a good one. Martina, herself, was weird. She was very pro-vegan which is fine when you're not pushy about it but she was. When we arrived, she handed both of us her published cookbooks which was a little pushy and offputting. She also asked repeatedly if we liked the food which was annoying. To conclude, do not go here. Far too expensive for really bad food. I paid €11 for my dish which was an absolute disgrace when taken into account what I had to eat. There are far better vegan restaurants in Vienna for much, much cheaper. Only this afternoon had I eaten in the Harvest bistrot where I got a huge plate of awesome, healthy, flavourful food for €8. So listen to me. It's not worth it. Go somewhere else.
