My husband and I had dinner on April 22nd at Le Ciel right after the opera..the elevator whisked us up to the 7th floor, where we were warmly welcomed by a knowledgeable, attentive staff and the best cuisine we tasted in Vienna. We chose the scrambled eggs w/crab,sorrel and asparagus as a starter, followed by a rack of lamb and... More

We are going very often in good restaurants, but the dinner in LeCiel was really more great than we expected. The atmosphere is very nice, the service is excellent, the staff is absolutely helpful and the food is culinary experience. I have never eat better tomatoes and mozzarela or the cheese variation. If you like good restaurants and have you... More

We had read about Le Ciel before coming to Vienna and wanted to give lunch a try. We found the Grand Hotel Wien and went up 7 floors to and were immediately taken under the wing of the wonderful restaurant manager, Gunter Moser. He gave us a lovely table outside on the roof and then patiently (and I mean patiently... More

"Le Ciel" is a beautiful and very pleasant restaurant on top of the Grand Hotel serving lovely dishes and great wine. Waiters are really professional. For starters, our Grana Padana cream soup was wonderful in taste and texture, the Scottish salmon was equally good. As main dish I can really recommend the sole, it was superb. The beef from young...

Wonderful food, flawless, personable service and a brilliant sommelier whose wine pairings were the highlight of our meal. Old fashioned decor but staff welcomes everyone and wants us to enjoy ourselves. We were there on a Friday night and the pianist was great too -- from Satie to show tunes, but soft enough we could hear each other without effort.

A beautiful and decadent Viennese restaurant. Attentive waiters and, whilst the food perhaps lacked a little imagination, it certainly tasted great. And what a cheese selection! It sounds strange, but the one thing that really bothered me were the big white plastic PVC windows which didn't fit in with the decor and kind of ruined the atmosphere you go to... More

Sitting atop one of the grand hotels on the Kaertner Ring, Le Ciel proved a real, if expensive treat. Good choice of two imaginative menus and we also opted to have the accompanying wine flight which gave us a real insight into Austrian wine, which deserves more accolades than it usually gets

Actually we went to Le Ciel according to Tripadvisor's comments. It was the weekend and we were surprised that all the Etoile Michelin restaurants were closed and the ones that were open were full already. To be frank,we got the reservation on the spot and when we got there the restaurant was half board. I chose the 3meals formula while... More

We visited for lunch during a promotion-week, taking advantage of a special price exclusively for online-reservations through a certain website. Still, when we called them directly two days in advance to see if we could add another person and two babies (!), it was no problem and even handled with great professionalism as we were assigned a table in a...
