KONSTANTIN FILIPPOU

We spent an unforgettable weekend in Vienna with Konstantin Filippou and his wonderful wife Manuela, and I had to share a glimpse of what made us fall in love with their world—starting with the flagship restaurant.

Konstantin’s story is a beautiful blend of cultures: Greek soul meets Austrian precision. Childhood summers by the Mediterranean and winters in the Alps shaped a palate built on purity, technique, and emotion. What started in his mother’s kitchen grew into a global culinary journey before he returned to Vienna with a voice uniquely his own.

In 2013, he opened Restaurant Konstantin Filippou—raw, honest, precise. Today it shines with 2 Michelin stars and 19 points/five toques, placing him among Austria’s absolute best.

His cuisine balances Mediterranean clarity with Austrian structure. Dishes like the Iced Amalfi Lemon with caviar (INSANE!) and the dry-aged salmon trout with eel and salted plum show his signature: elegant, linear, powerful.

Everything reflects his philosophy—purity, intention, zero compromise. Even the minimalist interiors focus your attention exactly where it belongs: the plate. For me the blach toques say it all : revolution rooted in tradition!

Dining here isn’t just a meal—it’s a story told with truth, memory, and heart.

And above all, Konstantin and Manuela are pure magic together: warm, generous, inspiring, and the most charming parents. We adore you both! ❤️ Less
