To days ago I presented you our wonderful Room in the Hilton Hotel. To not make the post too long I decided to write two blogposts. We had breakfast and dinner there. The food was so good that I forgot Snapchat and Instagram :-D That means a lot.

» Émile Brasserie & Bar: About the place

Émile Rouger was born 1885 in Paris. The son grew up near the art district Montmartre, which influenced his development. His father, a tile manufactorer did not like his bohème lifestyle. Later on he travelled through Europe, chose the best hotels and was known as a dandy.

He stopped travelling when he fell in love – with a city: Vienna. He stayed and became a local celebrity. His Savoir-vivre was good for the viennan society. He was a regular in the famous ring road cafés, read papers in hotellobbys and was known for being the most galant dancing café Sans Souci in the Bräunerstreet. Even though he left Vienna in the early 1930ties, he left something behind. Ease. Loving life, Style and delights. While searching for a name for our brasserie in Vienna we remembered his story.

» The Breakfast: yummy & big selection

As I already mentioned in the last post, there are two options for breakfast if you booked a Executive Room or higher. You either visit the Executive Lounge or the Émile Brasserie & Bar. Since we stayed for two nights we tested both. I liked the Breakfast in the Émile Brasserie & Bar better because I had more to choose from. In the Executive Lounge you won’t be disturbed since there is a lot of space – there will be a maximum of maybe 4 people. Down in the bar it’s rather full. This was not a problem for me. All in all everything tasted very well and we got everything we wanted.

» The Dinner: Culinary Delight from chef Erich Freund

Our „Spring in Émile“ was really tasty. We had a yummy bear’s garlic soup with salmon and scallops as a starter. The maincourse was a arctic char filet. The fish was very delicate and tasty. It’s been a long time since I last had fish as good as this. You can easily divide the filet with the fishknife. The dessert was excellent as well as the wine. In combination with the ambience and the 20ties feeling as well as the very polite and competent service I really like to remember this evening and the good food. The menu iss mall but nice.
