Amazing brunch!

Great restaurant offering high quality vegan dishes.
It is the sister to Jola but offers an a la carte menu so a good option if you want a great experience but at a fraction of the price.

Delicious food and drink

The food here was delicious. Fine dining yummy. Nice drinks. The restaurant is a bit dark and come 8pm all the 8pm bookings were waiting as tables weren’t ready.
Staff friendly. Would come again !

So classy and fun. Love this all vegan spot

The food is great, and the vibe is very cool. You can easily take your omnivore friends here to show them what being vegan is all about. The food is unique and made with effort and care. Great for date night or solo, you can sit at the bar!

Pros: Right in the middle of town, Open late

Perfect place for a special occasion

We came here on a special occasion and were really pleasently surprised by the whole experience. The food was super delicious and really well presented, everything tasted well balanced with lots of interesting flavors. The staff was also nice (especially the person at the bar) and the interior was nicely designed. The dinner is not exactly cheap (we paid about 50€ per person), but i think it's still well worth a visit, to experience really delicious vegan food!

Pros: All vegan, Extraordinary food, Super friendly staff and cool ambiance

Cons: Rather expensive

great brunch

definitely a once in a while treat as pricey but soooo good! The staff/owners are extremely attentive, kind and professional. We were regularly checked on, refilled water and explained the food. The cocos yoghurt that was paired with the granola was sooo delicious, the mushrooms on the breakfast tacos were extremely well done and so was the french toast. The brioche wouldn't be my choice again for breakfast as its rather heavy and includes a peanut dip which just isn't my taste, but the aubergine on it was so well done too. Really amazing food and worth every penny! Also, amazing coffee and I loved the thai tea latte.

Nicht nur optisch ein Erlebnis

Hochwertiges Restaurant, Frühstück, Lunch, Brunch und Dinner möglich. Wir waren an einem Samstag zum Brunch, alles war sehr gut und außergewöhnlich. Der einzige Kritikpunkt: der Matcha Latte war leider nur lauwarm.

Great

We were there for lunch, but unfortunately there was only one dish and one dessert available, the dish of the week. We were told that they were still in the soft launch phase and that more dishes would follow. We really enjoyed the food, and the new restaurant is a great success. We will definitely be back for dinner.

Wonderful dinner

We went here for dinner yesterday and it was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent and the service friendly. One of the best vegan dinners we ever enjoyed.

Friendly restaurant

The service was excellent and very friendly. The food was okay, but it didn't come close to justifying the price. For two people, we paid about 170€ without having wine or expensive beverages.

Thank you for taking the time to review our restaurant. It's okay if it's too expensive for you or if you did not like the taste of the dishes you had ordered - it's impossible to make everyone happy, however, we pay our employees a good salary, there is no unpaid overtime, we buy only the best ingredients, and the restaurant's happen to be in the first district and just got renovated; these costs all add up, where it is not possible to charge less and still keep the business running. I know I shouldn't take this personal, but as this is my restaurant I sadly do so and it's very frustrating when guests make comments about prices when they have no insight in our cost structure. I hope you try it another time or come to our brunch and maybe you then see all the love, quality and time that goes into our dishes & service. Take care (:

Amazing, high quality dishes

The food was absolutely stunning. It’s nice to choose your own courses of different sizes. I recommend getting 1 of each in mini, small and big. It really is an experience!
Also a very nice selection of delicious drinks and non-alcoholic wine/cocktail alternatives
Very competent and friendly staff

Plantbased cuisine done right

We went to the opening day and are excited about this latest addition to Vienna's vegan culinary landscape.

Unsurprisingly, lara reminds me a lot of its sister restaurant jola. Located in the very next street, it has the same namegiving pair (Jonathan & Larissa) behind the concept. The most obvious difference being that while jola is a carte blanche fine dining experience, lara is more of a fine casual restaurant featuring a dedicated menu, at a more affordable pricepoint.

However, that does not mean that the dishes lack the love & creativity that make a visit at jola's exceptional. Sampling as much as we could on our first evening, we were continuously astonished by the delightful creations on offer. If you appreciate plantbased cuisine that is delicious, creative and goes beyond the usual vegan reconstruction of traditional animal-product dishes, this is the place to be.

Wonderful, easy and relaxed

Even in the very first day of soft opening everything was perfekt. Watching the work at the "Pass" from Chef's Table Corner was great and shows the high grade of professionality. The complete team works in the kitchen, at the bar, and at service in such a good way. Very nice atmosphere.
Food and beverages: both in a high level.
