Skopik & Lohn

www.skopikundlohn.at
Skopik&Lohn, Leopoldsgasse 17, 1020 Vienna, t +43-1-219 89 77

In the heart of Vienna's 2nd district, near Karmelitermarkt. The interior looks a little bit like an exploded zebra, but in summer the garden is wonderful. Untypically for Vienna, tables are set outside on the sidewalk under some trees.

Small and constantly changing menue. The kitchen is combining Viennese classcis with modern and lighter elements, for example filets of samlet ('Saibling', an Austrian sweet-water fish) with thyme risotto was a revelation.

A cosy and familial restaurant with modern German cuisine and very friendly and heartily service. You feel very welcome. One of the better restaurants in Mainz, not easy to find something similar there. Prices are moderate, booking is an advantage. Try the Weissburgunder from Tesch they offer.
