The best sushi in Austria, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Kliemstein Vino Vitis comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Kitzbühel and Linz.

The entrance is easy to walk past, which would be a shame, because inside the Salzamt sits a small, Michelin-starred restaurant with a vaulted ceiling and a wine cellar running to over 1,200 labels. The chef and the owner have been at this together for years, and the owner's habit of steering guests toward the right bottle is the kind of service that makes a long dinner feel effortless. Surprise tasting menus in a few lengths keep things interesting.

Rank 2. SHIKI Omakase
Omakase Japanese
You walk through a boutique selling Japanese knives and lacquerware before squeezing into a counter seat among seven other people, which is the entire restaurant. SHIKI Omakase is an eight-seat sushi kaiseki room in Vienna's first district, where the chef works directly in front of you through eleven or so courses. The sake list is serious enough that a sommelier guides the pairing, which is the kind of detail that keeps the evening from feeling like dinner theater.

Rank 2. Zuma
Sushi
The large central bar is the room's center of gravity, and the dimmed lighting makes it easy to pretend you're in Dubai rather than the Austrian Alps. Zuma is a globally travelled Japanese-international restaurant with a robata grill, an extensive sushi menu, and cocktails that arrive before you've properly sat down. The English-speaking staff handle the après-ski crowd with practiced ease in a setting that feels considerably more sleek than cozy.
