Eva & Ewald Plachutta

Prof. Ewald Plachutta is considered the doyen of Austrian cuisine and, with over 1.4 million cookbooks sold, is one of the country’s most successful cookbook authors. A Plachutta cookbook can be found in almost every household. Together with her husband Ewald, Eva Plachutta laid the foundation for today’s Tafelspitz empire. In 1987, she took over the management of the Plachutta flagship restaurant in Hietzing and led it to unprecedented success.

Mario Plachutta

Mario Plachutta opened his first restaurant in 1993 at the age of 24 on Wollzeile. He skillfully preserved his father’s legacy while also setting the course for modern gastronomy. Under his leadership, the company steadily expanded and became, far beyond the country’s borders, synonymous with Viennese cuisine.

Together, they ensure that the family’s and the company’s values are carried into the future by blending traditional Viennese cuisine with modern ideas and fresh spirit. Throughout, the Plachutta family remains true to their guiding principle: quality, authenticity, and a deep love for Viennese cuisine.
