Renowned Israeli chef, Eyal Shani opens his second endeavour in Vienna, Seven North. Located in the ground floor space of the soon-to-launch Max Brown 7th District hotel, the restaurant brings influences from the Mediterranean to the vibrant Neubau area.

The new hotspot for eating and drinking features the chef’s world-famous whole roast cauliflower dish, as well as a wide variety of cocktails.

“I am extremely excited to be joining Vienna’s vibrant seventh district and cannot wait to bring a slice of my world to Max Brown Hotels. It’s a match made in heaven, as our ethos is about making our guests feel welcome, as you would in your own home.” Says Eyal Shani. “Seven North will bring together a range of colourful, balanced dishes, focused on my all-time favourite ingredient, the humble vegetable.”

Shani will bring his signature emphasis on fresh, seasonal vegetables and spices, to a South Mediterranean inspired menu. There will be a choice of small sharing plates (starting from 7 Euros), larger dishes designed for groups of four or more (from 13 Euros) and a complementary list of old and new world wines.

Small sharing plates will include bruschetta of melted chickpea with homemade tahini; a charred beetroot carpaccio; and Shani’s infamous roasted cauliflower. Larger dishes include fresh fish and seafood, meat dishes including a juicy lamb Kebab served in a herbed focaccia with seasonal vegetables and a range of pastas. Marrying typical Middle Eastern delicacies with an energetic kitchen and a passion for fresh and simple ingredients, Shani will create a unique addition to the Viennese food scene.

The restaurant is characterised by a central bar and open kitchen set in a large dining room reminiscent of food halls and bustling marketplace eateries commonly found across the Levant. Reclaimed furniture pieces combine with velvet furnishings and wood finishes to create a warm, understated interior designed for social gatherings.

Seven North follows Shani’s opening of HaSalon in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen last month and adds to his roster of eateries including: North Abraxas; Port Said; Romano and HaSalon in Tel Aviv – and Miznon, which can be found in Paris, Vienna, Melbourne and New York City.
