Parliament Demands Penalty from Restaurant "Kelsen"

The restaurant "Kelsen", located in the parliament, violated sustainability criteria when purchasing food, which led to the temporary loss of the Austrian eco-label. According to a parliamentary inquiry response reported by the "Presse", the lease agreement provides for an appropriate penalty in such a case.

Restaurant "Kelsen" in Parliament has regained eco-label

"On September 4, 2025, Kelsen Kulinarik GmbH submitted a written statement to the parliamentary directorate, in which the management took responsibility for the use of individual non-compliant products," said National Council President Walter Rosenkranz (FPÖ) in response to the inquiry by Green Party MP Olga Voglauer. According to a report by the "Falter", among other things, pike-perch from Kazakhstan or spring rolls from China had been purchased. The parliamentary directorate then "examined the enforcement of a contractual penalty according to the gastronomy contract. The examination revealed that the conditions for a contractual penalty are met." In the meantime, the restaurant has been re-certified with the eco-label.
