Our Restaurant Week reservation led us to a real find in the 19th District, an area dominated by heurigen often offering unimaginative and heavy Austrian fare. Although our reservation was for "Die Winzerei," the restaurant's sign actually said Weingut Hajszan, perhaps reflecting a recent change of ownership. The restaurant appears to be in a converted wine cellar, with brick walls coming together in a groin-vaulted ceiling with the plastered sections in between the brick painted a sunny yellow. Overall, the effect is light and airy. As for the food, my aperol spritzer was generously portioned, but I was not terribly impressed with my parsley cream soup starter, since it was exactly like any other vegetable cream soup that I've had (with asparagus and pumpkin, however, most common in Austria). The stewed beef roulade was also not quite up to standards, since the beef was a bit dry, although tender, and surrounded overcooked vegetables that lacked texture and flavor. My wife's salmon trout first course, on the other hand, was generously portioned and flavorful. I accidently had her chicken liver pate, which was a tasty complement to the walnut bread. My wife was also enthusiastic about the risotto that accompanied the chicken drumsticks and breast. The dessert, an orange-flavored, dark bitter chocolate tart, was exquisite, possibly the best chocolate dessert that I've ever had, which was nicely complemented by the white praline ball. Both waiters were quite friendly, and our dishes arrived promptly. Weingut Hajszan is definitely superior to Mayer am Pfarrplatz, another good Grinzing restaurant that is located not more than 100 meters away.
