When we came back for a second visit, we found the restaurant newly expanded. The artwork that can be found around every corner and on every wall of his restaurant space is made personally for him – one large painting is even a portrait of the chef himself. Gutenbrunner, who also happens to be an art aficionado, embodies the saying that every chef is an artist first. Of course we had to order wiener schnitzel and a side of spatzle - everything that we tried was cooked to perfection. Everyone seemed comfortable with the staff as they settled in for a traditional meal with a contemporary flair, filled with Austrian favorites in a setting made for fine dining. Wallse gave us the feeling that the people who dine here are absolute regulars. His West Village restaurant brings his native style and cuisine to New York. Chef and owner Kurt Gutenbrunner grew up in a suburb of Vienna called Wallse.
