Restaurant JOLA
JOLA operates a 100% plant-based kitchen — Vienna's first dedicated vegan fine dining restaurant. HappyCow categorises it under the 'Vegan' venue type (not merely 'vegan options'), the Michelin Guide confirms 'outstanding vegan cuisine', and multiple independent reviewers describe it as 'fully vegan fine dining' and 'working only with plant based ingredients'. The Michelin-starred carte-blanche tasting menu is exclusively plant-based, with ingredients sourced seasonally and regionally. One HappyCow reviewer noted the owners are not personally vegan; the owner disputed this reviewer's account, and regardless, personal diet choices of owners do not affect the structural fact that no animal products are served.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.
HappyCow lists 'Gluten-free' as a venue feature tag, suggesting some GF options may exist. However, the menu clearly contains gluten: the CrèmeGuides review describes 'a bread course with homemade focaccia', and a reviewer photo is captioned 'Homemade pasta with spinach and cream'. JOLA does not appear on FindMeGlutenFree's Vienna dedicated-GF list, its celiac-friendly Vienna list, or the Happy Celiac Vienna travel guide — all of which cover the broader Vienna dining scene. No dedicated GF prep area, separate fryer, or staff GF training is evidenced in any source. Community help wanted to verify whether meaningful coeliac accommodation is available.
