Chef Kurt Gutenbrunner, of Wallsé and Café Sabarsky, mans the stoves at this high-ceilinged TriBeCa eatery that was once home to Le Zinc. Homesick Austrians (and the people who love them) cram the main room, which is bedecked with vintage film and art posters reminiscent of an old movie set. Hearty dishes like the venison goulash with mushrooms and spätzle pairs well with the Austrian wine selection. Soft and saucy sausages, schnitzels and spätzle are Gutenbrunner’s true talent and are advertised on a chalkboard. Sometimes the seafood choices pale in comparison to the traditional meat options. Pastry chef Matthew Lodes prepares a variety of cakes and desserts to-go. The Salzburger Nockerl, a traditional pancake stuffed with huckleberries, is cooked to enhance the sour-citrus flavor, while the one-bite chocolate lollipops with vanilla milkshake can’t be beat. Vegetarians and time-sensitive guests might consider staying home, as Blaue Ganz is a chic Valhalla of all things meaty.
