Chef Nickol is Head Chef of his namesake two Michelin star restaurant in Vienna’s historic luxury hotel Palais Coburg, a Relais & Châteaux property. Chef Nickol’s culinary creations – considered some of the most adventurous gastronomy in Vienna – are modern, elaborate, and made from only the finest and freshest produce and ingredients.
Chef Nickol has worked at some of the best restaurants in the world including Traube Tonbach and Heinz Winkler, both recipients of three Michelin stars. He opened Palais Coburg in 2011 and earned his Michelin stars there in 2012, an accolade he has maintained to the present day. It was the same year Gault Millau named him “Austria’s Chef of the Year”. In addition to his two Michelin stars, Chef Nickol has also earned four toques and has established himself as a fixed star in Vienna’s world of top gastronomy. He earned two Michelin stars within three years at the luxurious Schloss Velden am Wörthersee.
At Silvio Nickol, his avant-garde flavors combine in a unique way to produce delicate dishes including interpretations of classic items and exceptionally composed innovations. His philosophy is to convey the preservation of the product and its original taste: “I give the product the respect to preserve and emphasize this quality and the taste during the processing as much as possible.”
