Under the motto "Experience Vienna with all your senses", guests can enjoy their stay experiencing a Horse Drawn Carriage (locally known as “Fiaker”) ride as well as famous specialties of Viennese cuisine. While you are being driven comfortably through the historic lanes of the old city by your “Fiaker”, the “Riding Dinner” is served.

Viennese-born Marco Pollandt had the idea for this service while having a beer at a sausage stand. He and a working colleague gazed at horse-drawn carriages driving through the streets and they got to discussing; It would be a great thing if you could eat and drink during a classic Fiaker ride just as comfortably as you would in a restaurant, they commented. This initial dialogue led to brainstorming... the brainstorming was followed up with a concept, and in January 2017 their idea was born.

VIENNESE CUISINE MEETS HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE TRADITIONS IN VIENNA

On the homepage, Marco Pollandt announces the philosophy of his business: "Our heart’s desire is to unite culinary delights, sightseeing and Viennese Fiaker traditions to convey the cultural and traditional values of Vienna and to stir up emotions and imprint memories for an eternity". The Riding Dinner Premium experience is accompanied by a butler. Placed next to the coachman, he takes care of the guests' well-being during the ride, serves food as well as drinks and provides entertainment along the way with interesting facts and a flare of typical Viennese Sarcastic Humour.

Vienna is often described as the most liveable city in the world. Get caught up in the cliché, and ride a Fiaker and eat Sacher Torte.
