In the middle of Vienna's Getreidemarkt, a new gastronomic attraction has quickly established itself: the Salt&Honey restaurant. Connected to the House of Ble Hotel, this restaurant creates an exclusive culinary experience not only for hotel guests, but also for gourmets. The diverse flavors and traditions of southern Europe, especially Portugal, are at the heart of the menu and create a taste journey that impresses with both tradition and innovation.
Salt&Honey's menu features a sophisticated selection of dishes that combine both authentic and modern influences. Highlights include innovative interpretations such as the "Feta Brûlée" and the "Bacalhau à Brás" - a Portuguese national dish based on cod that shines through its simplicity and skilful combination of flavors. Equally noteworthy is the Port Wine Duck, which is accompanied by homemade gnocchi and is characterized by an intense, harmonious fullness of flavor. This dish is an example of how traditional ingredients are reinterpreted with modern accents to bring the essence of southern European cuisine to the table.
The dessert selection is also particularly praised. Here, Salt&Honey brings out the flavor nuances of southern Europe with the "Port Wine Delight" and a delicately melting chocolate mousse, in which the spice and sweetness that characterize the house's cuisine come to full fruition. The refinement with salt as a flavor enhancer and honey to round off the dish gives it an extraordinary depth and takes it to a new level.
A unique concept: salt and honey as the leitmotif
As the name suggests, the theme of "salt and honey" runs consistently through the restaurant's concept. Patrick Frankl, who is responsible for the culinary concept, explains that salt is used as an essential enhancer of flavors, while honey provides the necessary warmth and depth that characterizes southern European cuisine.
It is this conscious use of flavours that makes Salt&Honey a distinctive experience. The combination of quality and creativity is always at the forefront - an aspect that is underlined by the close collaboration of the kitchen team, who work on a modern yet familiar implementation of southern European cuisine in every creation.
Elegant ambience and interactive design
The House of Ble Hotel, where Salt&Honey is located, places great value on an elegant, modern design language, which is reflected in the restaurant. Rosa da Silva is responsible for the design and concept of the hotel, and she ensures that guests feel welcome from the very beginning. The ambience of the restaurant is characterized by a harmonious combination of luxury, light and comfort, creating a cozy, stylish atmosphere. Guests don't just come here to eat, they enjoy an all-round well-thought-out experience.
Salt&Honey has established itself as a meeting place for a wide variety of occasions. Whether for a long breakfast, a business lunch, a romantic dinner or an after-work drink - the restaurant offers the ideal setting. The success of the concept is also reflected in the fact that Salt&Honey has quickly become a popular meeting point at Vienna's Getreidemarkt.
The GT7 Group: A versatile development group in the background
Behind the success of Salt&Honey is the GT7 Group, a real estate and development company that specializes in the management and administration of hotels, apartments and residential complexes. With a team of over 100 employees, the GT7 Group operates real estate projects in Vienna, Graz, Linz and Hamburg in addition to the House of Ble.
Beate Ameres, Managing Director of GT7 Prime, emphasizes that Salt&Honey is intended to be much more than just a restaurant: "Our goal with Salt&Honey is to create a gastronomic experience that goes far beyond good food." The focus is on customer satisfaction and innovation - aspects that give the GT7 Group a distinctive "coming home feeling" that it wants to convey at all its locations.
Conclusion: An enrichment for the Viennese gastronomy scene
With its creative and sophisticated cuisine, its tasteful ambience and its clear, modern lines, Salt&Honey has become a remarkable hotspot on the Viennese gastronomy scene. The innovative menu, which takes the best of southern European cuisine and focuses on the highest quality and fine nuances, not only delights hotel guests, but also attracts Viennese people with an interest in culinary delights.
In combination with the philosophy of the House of Ble and the vision of the GT7 Group, Salt&Honey is a successful example of what modern gastronomy can look like in an international context.
