Plantbased cuisine done right

We went to the opening day and are excited about this latest addition to Vienna's vegan culinary landscape.

Unsurprisingly, lara reminds me a lot of its sister restaurant jola. Located in the very next street, it has the same namegiving pair (Jonathan & Larissa) behind the concept. The most obvious difference being that while jola is a carte blanche fine dining experience, lara is more of a fine casual restaurant featuring a dedicated menu, at a more affordable pricepoint.

However, that does not mean that the dishes lack the love & creativity that make a visit at jola's exceptional. Sampling as much as we could on our first evening, we were continuously astonished by the delightful creations on offer. If you appreciate plantbased cuisine that is delicious, creative and goes beyond the usual vegan reconstruction of traditional animal-product dishes, this is the place to be.

Friendly restaurant

The service was excellent and very friendly. The food was okay, but it didn't come close to justifying the price. For two people, we paid about 170€ without having wine or expensive beverages.

Amazing, high quality dishes

The food was absolutely stunning. It’s nice to choose your own courses of different sizes. I recommend getting 1 of each in mini, small and big. It really is an experience!
Also a very nice selection of delicious drinks and non-alcoholic wine/cocktail alternatives
Very competent and friendly staff

Delicious!

The food and the service were excellent but the portions were very small! They recommended two appetizers and a main dish.

Wonderful, easy and relaxed

Even in the very first day of soft opening everything was perfekt. Watching the work at the "Pass" from Chef's Table Corner was great and shows the high grade of professionality. The complete team works in the kitchen, at the bar, and at service in such a good way. Very nice atmosphere.
Food and beverages: both in a high level.
