One of a kind

We had dinner "walk through the vegetable garden", officially 8 courses, but it was more like 10 or 11!
Price was 140€/person.
Everything was just amazing & right on point.
Incredible what you can do with "only" vegetables!

Pros: Unique creations, Amazing vegan food, We even met Paul Ivić

Definitely an experience

Tian provides a fine vegan dining experience. The courses are carefully arranged delicate creations, and equally enjoyable was the wine pairing.

Not great for vegans

Very tasty meal, but I was disappointed that the vegan option was often not up to par with the vegetarian option. This was especially evident in the cheese course where the vegetarian option was some elaborately prepared local cheeses and the vegan option was an unseasoned fuzzy parsnip (after a parsnip themed course).

I also feel like the increase in price was not matched by any improvement in the food or experience.

Expect very small courses (even for a tasting menu experience, they were tiny), disappointing vegan options, and a very nice setting. I think I say enough when my favorite course was the bread course because I got more than two bites of it. And generally I hate bread courses because they feel like a cheap filler in the middle of a nice meal. So… yeah. Not great

Overall I am glad I dined here, but I would not repeat the experience nor can I honestly say it is worth the price.

Dear Tamy!
Thank you for your visit and your honest feedback!
We are pleased that your company enjoyed our seasonal, vegetarian menu and you felt comfortable in our restaurant
We are sorry that the vegan option could not fully meet your expectation regarding to taste and price.
When selecting our products from mostly small farmers and producers, we do not only pay attention to regionality and seasonality, but also to organic an Demeter quality, for which we are very happy to pay our suppliers more than the average price. This is also reflected in our menu price, just like the fact that 18 service and kitchen members are working on during the evening to make it special for our guests.
Due to higher costs at all levels, we had to adjust our menu price.
Our menu size is based on experience values, therefore, we are sorry that the courses were too small for you. Apparently, our bread course called “back to the root” should not be a cheap filler, it should be a small reminder to our guests, that it does not matter how simple the ingredients are, quality is most important.We would like to recommend you the TIAN Bistro in the 7th district, where we serve a more inexpensive sharing menu with several vegetarian or vegan dishes to share.
We hope to welcome you soon again at one of our TIAN locations to surprise you anew!
Best wishes, the TIAN-Team

You won’t regret the $500+ price tag!

You get what you pay for and despite the very high cost- this place was 10000% worth it. Splurge for the wine pairing too because it made the experience that much more enjoyable. Every dish was innovative, beautifully plated, came paired with delicious wine and of course tasted incredible. We didn’t want the night to end!

Wow.

I lucked out. I didn’t know much about this restaurant but when I showed up without a reservation it just so happened that someone had canceled (which I was told was rare and later told that it books up 3 weeks in advance). So first thing first, make your reservation at least 3 weeks in advance! Second: price-wise it’s not for everyone! The 8 course dinner starts at 140€, drinks and optional pairing extra.

All that said, hands down this was a culinary experience! If you have the budget I recommend you try it! Creative and delicious. Can’t really say much more.

Amazing place

This is a gourmet restaurant. I went there for dinner and it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in that kind of restaurants. You’ll get an explanation for every dish and if you choose to have the menu with wine, you’ll get a glass matching each dish. If you’re vegan, specify when reserving.

Cons: Expensive

Wow

Es war einfach nur ein bezaubernder Abend. Wir hatten das vegane 8 Gänge Menü und wurden auch zwischendurch öfter überrascht mit Grüßen aus der Küche oder einer kalten Sorbet- Erfrischung. Es war herrlich. Wir saßen ca. 3 Stunden in diesem Gourmet- Tempel und wurden kulinarisch sehr verwöhnt. Der Service ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Essen ist einfach nur großartig! Eine Meisterleistung.

Expensive, overrated

It's the kind of place that gets rated well just because of the fact that it's an expensive snobby high-end place.

Absolutely blown away!

Tian Vegetarian Restaurant in Vienna was one of the most unforgettable culinary experiences I have ever had in my life. Being a Michelin star restaurant, this is exactly what you’d expect. However, Tian has some extras.

In French, Tian is the name of a vegetarian stew and in Chinese, it means heaven. So, it would be safe to call Tian “a vegetarian heaven” because it truly is a vegetarian heaven; a classy one.

The Menu at Tian works like this: Every night, there are two set menus. You can choose dishes from both.
4 course menu with wine pairing or without
6 course menu with wine pairing or without
8 course menu including 2 surprise courses with wine pairing or without

Tian is a vegetarian restaurant with vegan options. There are many items on their menu with “vegan possible” sign against them.

The service at Tian is quite elegant, too. It was paced well according to the number of courses. At the time of booking we had a chance to talk to Tian’s sommelier Christoph. Our waitress, Helene, was attentive without being intrusive.

Pros: vegan friendly options, friendly and classy staff

Cons: Quite expensive

The Best Vegan Food Anywhere

I eat here once per year with a friend. Very high-end. Multi-course meals extremely creatively thought out, with imaginative drink pairings (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Extraordinary for vegans. We ate there a couple of weeks ago and had a remarkable roughly 12-course dinner. Impeccable service. A real treat.

Interesting experience

It was my second time in Tian and the first time after going vegan. And both times it was more than just eating lunch - it was a very interesting experience.

You get to taste some rather exotic ingredients (salsify, for example) prepared in different unusual ways (foamed, for example). It is definitely beyond my own cooking skill or anything that can be found in a normal restaurant, and it has its appeal. Still, going to a place like Tian is not something I would do more than once or twice a year. And I would not call it a good place to go if you are just looking to have a fast and satisfying meal.

Pros: Impressive ingredients and cooking, Variety

Cons: Price, Slow

Gastronomic feast. Loved it. (This is not an egg! ;-)

We sat on the terrace in front. It was a lovely Summer evening (only downside was there is a theater opposite, and a coach bus came dropping of guests and stood still stationary a long time).

We had a six course vegan menu, 108€.
Food was delicious. Lovely combinations and colours.
Service swift and friendly.

Glass of champagne was horribly expensive (16€) and the waiter at first couldn't tell whether it was vegan or not (it was, confirmed).

The dessert was special (see photo) No, not an egg ;-)

This is from a visit in 2016.

Very good experience

We had a delightful experience at the Tian. The staff was very friendly, the cooking was creative and tasty. We recommend this restaurant.
One damper : as vegans, we had been offered an adaptation of the "light menu", and were surprised to discover when paying that the price of the menu had actually been increased. We would appreciate very much, as vegans, to be able to eat at the same price as non vegans.

great food, great staff, great experience

We've been to Tian twice now and it was always a terrific evening.
Sure the food is pricy, but it's always different, delicious and there are some tastes you don't get anywhere else.

Another thing that is really great about this place is the staff. They made us feel very comfortable every time and paid close attention to our needs. In a conversation with the waiter we casually mentioned my girlfriend's allergy to almond and they adapted the whole menu for her.

Pros: friendly and competent staff, great organic food

Cons: very pricy

Very small portions, not very tasty, and very expensive

From all the positive reviews, I was expecting a great experience. However, it was by far the worst vegan restaurant I've been to in Vienna. I would seriously avoid it.

Best tasting menu

One of the best meals of my life. The vegan tasting menu is superb. From beginning to end everything was incredibly tasty, outstanding quality and locally sourced. The service was absolutely professional and the environment was very elegant, but perhaps more importantly, comfortable. I enjoyed the creativity and the pleasure of enjoying an 8 course meal during four hours on a very pleasant summer evening. The wine pairing were also perfect, and while I'm not a big fan of beer, pairing dessert with an Austrian beer worked pretty well. I used to like Austrian wine before, after Tian I would put it among my favorites. Tian definitely provides the experience of Vienna at its best. I know, it's pricy but worth every Euro.

Pros: Food quality , Presentation , Service
