Sören Herzig is one of the leading voices in contemporary Austrian cuisine. Born in Germany, he gained international experience under renowned chefs including Juan Amador and Kevin Fehling, before opening Restaurant Herzig in Vienna in 2019—a long-held personal ambition. His cooking is defined by intensity of flavour, refined craftsmanship and a deep respect for product quality. He blends technical precision with a curiosity for global influences, creating dishes that balance purity with playfulness and tell stories of origin, contrast and creative freedom.
At Restaurant Herzig, the philosophy is clear: seasonal, product-driven cuisine shaped by meticulous technique. The menu celebrates contrasts in flavour and texture, bringing together regional ingredients and international methods with purpose rather than pretence. Located in Vienna’s 15th district, the restaurant has earned significant acclaim for its modern, globally minded approach and distinctive identity.
The minimalist interior sets the stage for focused dining, while Saskia Herzig leads the service with warmth, intuition and understated elegance. A carefully curated wine pairing completes the experience. Restaurant Herzig stands as a place where flavour, texture and emotion come together with clarity and intention—echoing Sören’s belief that cooking is not about impressing, but about moving people.
