Muvamo Opinion

Lucullus gets the Muvamo Award for offering one of Vienna’s most romantic dining gardens paired with refined, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.

Lucullus is not on a busy street, it’s not trying to be trendy, and it doesn’t rely on hype. What it offers instead is something much harder to find: a calm, elegant space where the focus is simply on good food, a relaxed atmosphere, and quality time.

The setting plays a big role in what makes Lucullus feel special. If you visit in spring or summer, the garden is the obvious highlight. Surrounded by greenery, decorated with details and tucked away from traffic, it feels private – like you’ve found a little hidden courtyard that’s just for you. Inside, the dining room is stylish in a quiet, understated way. There’s no flashy design, but everything feels considered and comfortable. It’s the place where you can have a long, easy conversation and actually hear each other. There’s something rare about finding this kind of setting in Vienna – especially in the middle of the 3rd district. You’d expect it in a vineyard outside the city, not tucked between apartment buildings.

The menu changes regularly based on what’s in season, and while it leans Mediterranean, it’s not locked into one style. It’s about combining fresh, high-quality ingredients in simple but thoughtful ways.

Lucullus is especially good if you’re looking for a dinner spot that’s a little more grown-up – something low-key but elegant, away from the tourist crowds. It works well for date nights, quiet celebrations, or even just catching up with someone you haven’t seen in a while.

The Garden, the Name, the Idea

Lucullus takes its name from Lucius Licinius Lucullus, a Roman general best known for his legendary banquets and love of luxurious food. True to its namesake, the restaurant embraces a creative fusion of Austrian and Mediterranean influences- thoughtful, high-quality, and seasonally driven – striking a balance between relaxed comfort and a touch of lavish flair.

Located in one of Vienna’s quieter but refined neighborhoods, Lucullus first opened its doors with a mission to bring together Austrian and Mediterranean flavors in a fresh way. Instead of sticking rigidly to one cuisine, the menu is structured around what’s seasonal and available from trusted producers. The result is a kitchen that’s flexible and creative, but always rooted in simplicity and flavor.

Lucullus - 1 — The Lucullus terrace creates the perfect atmosphere for long summer conversations that stretch well into the night.

The restaurant has evolved over time, building a loyal local following – especially among those who live nearby or work in the nearby embassies. Its garden has become one of its defining features, offering something rare in central Vienna: quiet outdoor dining without traffic or tourist crowds. Inside, it’s elegant and relaxed, with small design touches that keep it interesting without being overwhelming.
