Opposite the Ronacher, the TIAN Restaurant Wien presents the highest standard of meatless cuisine in all its variety. The menu reads like a stroll through a vegetable garden. Chef Paul Ivic transforms fairly produced and organic products, including nearly forgotten types of vegetables, fruit and grains, into spectacularly refined dishes. Ivic also believes it is very important not to throw anything away and experiments a lot with all parts of the vegetable, from root to leaf. The TIAN has been awarded with a star by the Michelin Guide for its wonderful cuisine. It thus ranks among the world's best vegetarian restaurants.

The TIAN also offers uncomplicated vegetarian (as well as vegan) cuisine with its bistro concept: At the TIAN bistro on Spittelberg there's a great breakfast and meat-free interpretations of classics such as tartare with shiitake mushrooms instead of beef. Uncomplicated, but nevertheless sophisticated cuisine.
