“Special Menu Delay: The Rabbits Have Done a Runner!”

28/5/2025

0 Comments

 

Hi my lovelies,

Bit of a hiccup with this Thursday’s special menu…

Turns out I can’t get hold of the main course – the rabbits! The grass is too high, and I can’t see the little buggers.

So, the “Hoppy Special” is postponed until next month – Thursday 27th June. But don’t worry, I’ve still got a delicious treat for you this weekend:

A beautifully tender octopus tentacle, slow-cooked sous-vide at 85°C for 4 hours. I’m calling it “Lobster’s Revenge” – in honour of the octopus who’s been eating all the crab and lobster in the pots (hence the local shortage…

cheeky devil!). We’ll be open with our regular menu this weekend, plus a few tasty specials. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

🍷Cheers and love,

​Werner.

A Taste of Austria in the Heart of Torquay: Inside the Old Vienna Restaurant

15/4/2025

0 Comments

 
Nestled in Lisburne Square, Torquay, the Old Vienna Restaurant brings the spirit of Austria to Devon’s coast. With over five decades of culinary experience, Chef Werner Rott has re-established his reputation as a master of artisan cuisine. This fine dining Austrian restaurant in Torquay is known not only for its cosy charm but for a menu rich with flavour and tradition.

From classic Wiener schnitzel to lobster and scallops ravioli, each dish is a nod to heritage and craftsmanship. At Old Vienna, locally sourced food meets timeless recipes, offering a gourmet experience that satisfies both locals and visitors. Vegetarian dishes like Kohlrabi Schnitzel and stuffed peppers are lovingly prepared using seasonal produce.

Chef Rott’s personal touch is felt in every detail—from handcrafted terrines to his signature homemade desserts, like his mother's apple strudel or the regionally inspired apricot dumpling. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply exploring European cuisine, Old Vienna is a must-visit bistro with a modern twist.

Hi everybody,
​
Just to give you an idea of opening hours over Christmas. Open as normal Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 18:30. 

If you’re having family over Christmas I’m open Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve but will booking only via email as I’m crap on the phone, words are too small for an old man and my computer is set to max size on font.

A big welcome to all my customers, old and new!


I had planned to be open until the end of November this year, and then go back to take-away for my new opening after the Christmas period, around March 2025.

Unfortunately, my best friend and partner of over 20 years is fighting terminal cancer, and it looks like it is winning. So all my time left with Julie is spent with her rather than cooking for my lovely guests.
​

Please keep an eye on the website; I will be open again when the time is right.


Thank you for your understanding.


Love,

Werner
