    Farm-to-table dinner in the Saal

    Laid gala tables under the dome, the platters come to the middle.

    Up to 130 guests seated. The courses come to the table on platters and are shared – festive, without a stiff menu sequence, and conversation starts at the table. The Saal is exclusively yours that evening: set-up from 15:00, speeches, music, bar until 2:00. If you wish, the evening starts in the courtyard – punch under the open sky to welcome your guests, then inside for the menu.

The Saal under the glass dome. In December with a tree – four metres, and still room up to the dome.

All amounts are net, plus VAT; every proposal shows net and gross. The Saal packages include the room, sound and light, food and drinks for three hours. The price per person falls as the number of guests rises. In addition, the hall hire can fall with food and drink revenue; you will find the scale on the events page.

Kitchen

The Christmas menu 2026.From the same kitchen as the two toques.

The kitchen is right in the house and cooks while your guests are having their aperitif. Regional, seasonal and organic means in December: root vegetables, game, cabbage, nuts and plums rather than strawberries.

In the restaurant the menu comes in three, four or five courses: starter, main course & dessert, the 4-course menu adds the soup, the 5-course menu also the intermediate course. Up to 12 guests order à la carte; from 13 guests the whole group takes the same menu. For the courses with a choice, your guests decide at the table. We need your choice of menu one week in advance and the guaranteed number three working days before. One long table seats up to 14 guests.

A vegetarian version is always possible; vegan options as well as allergies and intolerances are catered for with advance notice up to three working days before the party. For the Saal we put the menu together as a farm-to-table or flying dinner – you receive that suggestion with your proposal.

Questions

The key questions before your enquiry – answered briefly and easy to forward.

Date and place

Which dates are free?

Christmas parties take place from mid-November until shortly before Christmas, in the Saal on any day of the week. Fridays in December go first; Thursdays and the first week of December are often still open. Give us two or three preferred dates – we check them all and hold one for you for ten days.

Where exactly?

The Saal has its entrance at Wollzeile 1; restaurant and bar are at Lugeck 6. One house, two sides, both in the first district and two minutes from Stephansplatz (U1, U3). The nearest car parks are at Stephansplatz and Schwedenplatz.

Is the Saal really just for us?

Yes, always. On your evening there is no second event in the Saal, not even a small one. The restaurant stays open on weekdays; from around 60 guests you can have the restaurant exclusively as well.

How long can we celebrate?

In the Saal until 2:00, with music. In the restaurant and the courtyard the music ends at 24:00. Later by arrangement.

Furniture and equipment

What technology is included?

Sound and light system, ambient lighting, two wireless microphones, a music system for your playlist and fibre Wi-Fi are included in the package. Projector, motorised screen and mixing desk for a review or presentation cost €450 net together.

Decoration and Christmas tree?

The Saal is festive in December and a tree is up. Your own decoration, company logo, flowers: bring them or we organise them, without agency fee. Not permitted: open flames, confetti and adhesives on walls and glass.

Music, DJ, band?

A playlist over our system is included. Bring your own DJ or band, or we recommend someone. For your own music you register with AKM, the Austrian performing rights society; we tell you how.

Money

What does the proposal contain?

The proposal contains room, schedule, menu, price per person and total – compact on one page, within two working days. Every proposal shows both net and gross. There is no minimum spend for the Saal.

How many guests do we have to confirm?

The expected number seven days ahead, the binding number three working days ahead. We charge for the binding number, but at least 80 % of the number given at booking. If more come, we charge the actual number as far as kitchen and room allow.

Deposit?

For the Saal and exclusive use of the restaurant: a 30 % deposit after confirmation, the rest after the party. Groups in the restaurant pay no deposit.

And if we have to cancel?

Free of charge up to 90 days ahead. After that 25 %, from 44 days 50 %, from 13 days 75 %, in the final week 90 % of the order value. If we can re-let the date, the fee is reduced. Rescheduling within twelve months is free up to 45 days ahead. Everything else in the terms and conditions.

Food and drinks

Vegetarian, vegan, allergies?

Vegetarian is always included, vegan on request. The kitchen caters individually for allergies and intolerances; let us know the numbers up to three working days ahead.

Punch to welcome the guests?

Gladly. If you wish, your party starts in the courtyard: punch from our kitchen – with and without alcohol – under the open sky, before moving inside for the menu. Available for Saal and restaurant; we include it in the proposal.

What about the drinks?

In the Saal, three hours of wine, beer and soft drinks are in the package; after that as consumed or as a fourth hour at a flat rate. In the restaurant we charge drinks as consumed, on one bill for everyone.

May we bring our own food or drinks?

All cooking is done in our kitchen. A cake or biscuits from your team are fine by arrangement.
