He worked in the restaurant of the Burgtheater , then in the restaurants Vestibül and the award-winning Steirereck in Vienna, which he left as Chef de Partie of the cold kitchen.

In 2008 he applied for Gault Millau's Newcomer of the Yearand won the award. At the Interalpen Hotel he met his future partner, Jeannine Kessler from Berlin, who worked in the service there.

On May 1, 2010 Frank took over a position as head chef at Horváth on Paul-Lincke-Ufer in Berlin-Kreuzberg . Just one year later, the kitchen received a Michelin star under his management , and at the age of 30 he became Berlin's youngest chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant. At the beginning of 2014 he took over the Horváth together with his partner Kessler. Frank is known for his “semi-vegetarian cuisine”, in which he puts vegetables at the center of the dishes, but spices them with meat and fish flavors, such as pork jus. He dispenses with expensive raw materials and uses products that he grew up with in his homeland in Lower Austria . Sebastian Frank published a cookbook in April 2019.

exile

In what is now Paul-Lincke-Ufer 44a, there have been restaurants since 1918. The locality became known under the name Exil when it was taken over in 1972 by the Austrian writer and philosopher Oswald (Ossi) Wiener and his wife Ingrid. The exile became the meeting place of the literary, political and artistic avant-garde scene of the 1970s and 80s. David Bowie , Joseph Beuys , George Tabori and Rainer Fassbinder are said to have been among the guests who "drank Burgenland wines with sauerbraten ...". The restaurant was run by the Wieners until 1986. The daughter Sarah Wiener gained her first gastronomic experience in exile . In 2005, the restaurateurs Edith Berlinger and Dietmar Schweitzer opened under the new name Horváth , in which Wolfgang Müller cooked until 2009, who cooked a star in Adermann in 2002 .
