4ECK is located in the very center of Vienna, in the 1st district, near the Central park area. It’s name translates to ‘four corners’ – as the restaurant itself is on a corner, and could translate as the four sides of the world. The new direction for their kitchen is based on this idea of diverse cultures. Every meal was inspired by a city. There’s a main course called ‘Vancouver’ – with Canadian salmon, or another one called ‘Budapest’ – with a traditional egg bread, liver paste and fig marmalade. Their customers can go on a culinary journey around the world.
The interior is based on this idea too, there are miniature taxis from lots of cities. Also we placed a few cans in the windows with the names of cities written on them, each with a ‘feeling’ for their cities!
The visitors who have already been to 4ECK could have a déjà vu looking at the furniture. Instead of buying new one, re-used them in the new interior design too. This choice also helped winning a Quandoo 2014 price, and a main prize of GastroBizz 2015 in the ‘creative rethinking’ category.
4ECK is not only for those who like to travel and like to try new food everywhere, but for those who like to be nostalgic and re-live a long forgotten experience. All circumstances are present to have a pleasant time there, among good friends.
