Z’SOM: THE RESTAURANT FULL OF FLAVOUR, SURPRISES, AND PERSONALITY
Founded in April 2022 by Austrian-Chilean couple Judith Lergetporer and Diego Briones, Z’SOM celebrates love, flavour, and the cultures that brought them together. After 20 years exploring the world, they settled down in Vienna, introducing a place that brings together Latin American heritage, contemporary technique and warm hospitality. This unique proposition has quickly been rewarded - Z’SOM holds 1 Michelin Star, 3 toques Gault Millau, 3 Falstaff Forks and Diego is one of Austria’s 100 Best Chefs, while Judith Lergetporer is one of Austria’s 50 Best Sommeliers.
Derived from the spoken dialect of "zusammen," meaning "together," Z’SOM translates as togetherness, community, and conviviality. This principle is the restaurant’s guiding force, resonating in every facet of their establishment. Chef Diego Briones blends his Latin American roots with technical precision and the culinary influences from his extensive international journey. Each plate has Diego’s unique flavorful signature, showcasing the exceptional and surprising marriage of flavours. The aim is to surprise and engage each guest, sending them on a culinary journey with tasting menus brimming with freshness and flavor. By doing so, Z’SOM takes pride in bringing Latin America and Europe closer together.
The wines that complement each dish are carefully chosen to enhance the experience. The restaurant particularly focuses on small producers, off-mainstream regions and grape varieties offering the biggest selection of exceptional Latin American Wines in Europe. Z’SOM is all about spending an unforgettable evening together - in a cosy and relaxed atmosphere, with an open kitchen transforming every table into the Chef's Table.
Z’SOM strongly believes that “Fine Dining” can, and should be inclusive. Therefore, they are working against its distant stigma by creating unique yet accessible dining memories, putting their efforts in what is really important - what’s on the plate, what’s in the glass, and the way they touch their guests’ hearts.
