Casa Caribena - Vienna

A pleasant restaurant in the Wiener servitenviertel near the rossauerlände underground station. colorful interieur with lots of art works and an open kitchen, where everything is freshly prepared by the chefs. the homemade tropical limonade was a real tasty bite that was also made fresh with many brownish limettes and sugar. we both took vegetarian meals and a rice dish with broken, fried plantains. the rice dish was very tasteful and full and tasted even better with a dash of the typical chili-infused oil, which was provided on the table. the part of the one-pot was somewhat too small for the price, but also very good taste. all ingredients were of very good quality and the friendliness of the staff is second-no.

We went 2 times to casa caribena. for the first time we had the pleasure to listen to live latin music and eat a delicious meal: house brot with butter and garlic, huh with mango and grilled calamari with ananas. unbelievable! and the staff very friendly. the second time we went to the summer place, on the summer stage. there were fewer meal times available, but they were good again (that was very good, but the garnel dry.)

We recently met friends for dinner at summer stage and decided to try Casa Caribena. Given the location, their menu is limited which is OK, but the food was really not very good. We waited a very long time for the food to be brought to our table, and when it finally arrived it looked like it had just been slapped on the plate. The food was swimming in oil and quite bland, very disappointing for Caribbean food. Also, the prices were very high considering what was being served to us. It was not good value at all. On a positive note, our waitress was nice and friendly. Perhaps this place is better suited for drinks only. The location along the canal is nice if you can find a table that is not surrounded by smokers. Smoking is still very popular in Vienna and unfortunately it is allowed in areas where food is being served.

We went to Casa Caribena 2 times. The first time, we had the pleasure of listening to live latin music and eat a delicious meal: house bread with butter and garlic, chicken with mango and grilled calamari with ananas. Delightful! And the staff very friendly.The second time we went to the summer location, on the summer stage. There were less meals available, but they were again good (the chicken very good, but the shrimps dry).

It's nice to sit by the river and enjoy some Caribbean food. Nice music too. Try the mango or the "jerk" chicken.
