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.
