Austria: Vienna: Where to Eat: Big Night Out: Indochine 21

Indochine 21

Chef Wini Brugger’s restaurant takes its culinary cues from the countries that used to make up French Indochina, including modern-day Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Brugger, who spent thirteen years working in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Saigon, puts a creative spin on East Asian dishes, prominently featuring seafood and beautifully balancing sweet and spicy flavors. The colonial-inspired setting, with dim lighting and low seating areas, is romantic, and the bar serves some of the city’s most innovative cocktails, including Kon Tiki, a fizzy concoction made with green tea, pineapple juice, rum and Prosecco. The friendly and knowledgeable staff help customers with the perfect wine pairing from Indochine 21’s extensive cellar. Open daily.
