BEST OF OUTDOOR

Gastgärten. In Wien werden sie liebevoll „Schanigärten“ genannt,
weil früher der Kellner („Schani“) die Möbel hinausgetragen hat.

 

YOHM

ASIAN

In Klaus Piber’s top restaurant all Asian cuisines are basically combined in one pot. Particularly worth recommending are sushi, sashimi, and fresh fish in general. The various wok and noodle dishes as well as Asian desserts such as chocolate cake with five spices seasoning
are also an exotic treat.

THE GUESTHOUSE VIENNA

BRASSERIE & BAKERY

The city hotel deigned by Sir Terence Conran is a true insiders’ tip for breakfast fans. One can enjoy it until 11 o’clock in the evening. Beside classical egg dishes, excellent eggs Benedict or eggs Florentine are served with the amazing Gragger bread. The evening menu of the Brasserie is also special – chef Markus Leitner offers the perfect French-Viennese mix.

JUST TASTE

WINEBAR

Try and taste – that’s the credo of the newly opened wine bar on Stubenring. The boarders between shop and restaurant become blurred here, and thanks to a special method even very expensive wines can be opened to sample and then sealed again

MOTTO

URBAN GARDEN

Sipping at colourful cocktails under flower tendrils during summer nights and getting seduced by the pulsating beat of the music in a magical world. The motto of Tom Sampl and his crew: Schatzi, why would you ever leave wonderland?

ZUM FINSTEREN STERN

RESTAURANT

The Palais Colalto is the only baroque building next to the comfortable outdoor restaurant in the historical part of Vienna. Dishes are just as “lively” as the Dornauer Arctic char.

SCHWARZES KAMEEL

AUSTRIAN

Founded in 1618 as a spice shop by Johan Baptist Cameel, this delicacies shop – and restaurant (in art nouveau style) – is a hotspot for connoisseurs. Definitely give the “­Blunzenbrot” a try.

TIAN BISTRO
SPITTELBERG

VEGETARIAN

A stone’s throw away from the Museumsquartier, in the artists’ quarter Spittelberg, there is this oasis for vegetarians and vegans alike. Chef Mathias Wolf stands for uncompromising fresh, creative cuisine. Our tip: “Sharing Chefs Garden”, a 5-course menu of seasonal and market fresh ingredients, which – and here is the real insiders’ tip – cannot be found on the menu.

Mi – Fr 11 – 22 Uhr, Sa & So 9 – 22 Uhr,

FABIOS

MEDITERRANEAN

 

Whoever likes first row seats to view people strolling through the Goldenes Quartier is at the right place on this terrace. While sipping a glass of prosecco, a cappuccino, delicious pasta dishes or light fish plates.

KLEE AM HANSLTEICH

AT THE WATER

A wonderful excursion tip: only a few minutes away from the city, at the edge of the 17th district there is a very nice garden restaurant situated directly next to a small pond. The menu is a happy mix of seasonal dishes and Viennese classics such as Tafelspitz. There are also vegetarian highlights to be found here.

GERSTNER

K.-U.-K.
HOFZUCKERBÄCKER

Since 1847 the purveyor to the imperial and royal court has been one of Vienna’s top culinary addresses for Viennese and visitors alike. Situated vis-à-vis the Vienna State Opera one is spoiled with deliciously sweet creations as well as Viennese cuisine in the shop and garden restaurant.

MOCHI

JAPANESE

Ever since opening its doors a few years ago there has been a buzz surrounding the restaurant. Uncomplicated and therefore even better Asian cuisine with an international flavor is served here. Comfortable “Schanigarten” close to the city centre.

 

1020 Vienna, Praterstraße 15, tel.: +43 (0)1 925 13 80, Mon – Sat 11.30 a.m. – 9.30 p.m., closed on holidays,

DACHTERRASSE DES HOTEL LAMÉE

ROOFTOP BAR

What an uplifting feeling, just like during the holidays. The rooftop terrace of the stylish boutique hotel in the heart of Vienna is seen as one of the prettiest. There is something to be said for that: toasting to Vienna’s landmark, the Stephansdom, with a cool drink in your hand.

1010 Vienna, Rotenturmstraße 15, tel.: +43 (0)1 532 22 40, hotellamee.com
