Restaurants Vienna - Le Bol

Le Bol is a great breakfast or lunch place in the middle of the first district (Neuer Markt). They have great salads and breads.

The breads with a little salad cost around 6,90 Euros and a soda with lemon 1,80 Euros.

It is great in the summer because they have an outdoor seating area. Indoors they have a large common table and some small tables around it.

A great combinations is to have lunch there and then go next door to Oberlaa for the endulging cakes (if you like chocolate try the chocolate Mousse cake you will love it!!)

Restaurants Vienna - Harry's Time

This is a restaurant in the heart of Vienna. It is 5-10 minute walk from Stephansplatz (right opposite the MAK-Contempory Museum of Applied Arts.

They cheap lunches like a risotto for 6,90 Euros. Drinks are on the more expensive side: apple juice with water 3,20 Euros. I find it a good deal for lunches, but am not sure if I would go in the evening. It is a mixture of Austrian and Italian food.

Restaurants Vienna - Kimchi Restaurant

This is a restaurant a little bit off the beaten track in the 3 district of Vienna. I think it is not worth making a trip there for Thai food, but if you are in the area, you can go there and have average Thai, Japanese or Korean food.

Pad Thai costs 9,20 Euros and Spring-rolls 3,50 Euros. Service is fine.

Restaurants Vienna - Lokanta Oase

If you want to see a multi-cultural area of Vienna and want to eat great turkish food, then it is definitely worth visiting the Brunnenmarkt in the 16th district.

They have good, simple turkish food e.g. Kebaps for 10 Euros, Humus 3,30 Euros and turkish coffee for 2,5o Euros.

It is simple, delicious food with good service.

Restaurants Vienna - Seoul (recommendable)

I am a big fan of Korean food and there used to be quite a few good ones in Vienna before. For those who know my favourite one in London - nothing of course beats the good old Ran. But this one is quite tasty too.

The Bulgogi lunch menu costs 8,50 Euros and the Bimbimbap 7,00 Euros. It is a great treat! For those of you who are newcomers to Korean food. Bulgogi is thin sliced beef marinated in a soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic sauce. If it is not in a bento box then some restaurants have table grills.

Restaurants Vienna -Kojiro

Kojiro is a simple and tiny sushi place located by the Naschmarkt in Vienna. Around 6 people can sit there, so most customers order the sushi as a take-away. A lot of Japanese people say that Kojiro and Unkai are their favourite places for sushi in Vienna.

The Naschmarkt is a place where one can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. There are also a lot os small restaurants located there, which is a nice area for a quick lunch.

The sushi is fresh and at a reasonable price. It is certainly worth trying if you are in the area.

Restaurants Vienna - Kanzleramt

This is a sophisticated "Beisl" (the Austrian version of a Pub) in the center of Vienna, conveniently located near the Hofburg (Imperial Palace). Even though this restaurant is located in a touristy area of Vienna, this is a place where many local people come.

They have traditional Austrian dishes, prepared very elegantly. They have Tafelspitz boiled beef with roasted potatoes, minced apples and horseradish. I tried a fish filet with a delicious risotto that was presented with a lot of care.

The prices vary from 11,50 Euros to 21,00 for main dishes, which is not cheap but good value for the quality of food you get.

Restaurants Vienna -Weingut Reisenberg

This is one of my favourite Heurigen in Vienna. It is in the middle of the vineyards and has a stunning view!

What is a "Heurigen"? It is a place where wine-growers serve the most recent year's wine. Today, they also serve simple food from a buffet. Generally the food is not cheap, so be prepared to spend around 15 Euros for simple bread spreads and roasted pork slices.

It is possible to get there by taking the 38 Bus to Wagenwiese and then walk up the Oberer Reisenbergweg next to the vineyards (you can click on the link to see the map). It is a beautiful walk!

Restaurants Vienna -Salettl

This is a nice brunch place with a pretty view. It is great to sit outside in the summer and look at the hills and Vienna woods. I would not go there for the food really, but rather the nice atmosphere.

I particularly like the huge Kipferl with ham and cheese!

Restaurants Vienna - Mas

This is one of my favourite brunch places in Vienna.

They have a huge variety of choices for breakfast from cereals, cheeses, fruits, omelets, waffles to fresh orange juice. It is a very relaxed atmosphere and one can hang out there with friends on a Sunday tranquilly.

Restaurants Vienna - Regina Margherita

This is an elegant italian restaurant with an outside patio in the summer. It is in the Palais Esterhazy which is a nice setting and is central (not far from the Graben).

They have everything from simple Pizza (around 10 Euros) to Vitello tonnato (10,90 Euros) which is a delicious starter with sliced veal covered with a tuna sauce.

Restaurants Vienna - Kim Kocht

This is a very original restaurant opposite the Volksoper in Vienna. One of the main downsides is that one has to reserve months in advance. Due to the difficulty in making reservations, I must confess, it has been a while since I have been there.

Kim is the owner. She has an interesting way of combining asian cuisine with european flavours. The 3 course meal before 20:00 costs 42 Euros, which is not cheap but I think it is worth it.

Restaurants Vienna - Senkoma (recommendable)

Senkoma is a delicious Japanese restaurant in the center of Vienna (near the opera). The food they offer is Japanese fast food and the flavours are authentic.

What made them different to other restaurants were that they had a lot of Japanese dishes that are quick eats e.g. Katsu Kare, Chicken Kare, Katsu Don and Salmon Teriyaki. Their curry was homemade and the prices were very reasonable. Each dish costs around 7 Euros.

They have recently changed the menu and have become less differentiated from the other Restaurants, but are still good.

Restaurants Vienna - Schloß Concordia

This is the first time I visited this fun Schnitzel place. It is right opposite the Zentralfriedhof Tor 1 (which is one of Europe's biggest cemeteries and contains numerous famous composers - Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Schoenberg and the whole Strauss clan).

They have great Schnitzel creations like a Schnitzel with a popcorn crust and chili con carne in the middle. The portions are huge and not too expensive. Each Schnitzel costs approximately 13 Euros. This is a great place!

Restaurants Vienna - Akakiko

Akakiko is a Japanese fastfood chain in Vienna. I particularly like the one on Mariahilferstrasse (7th district in one of the main shopping streets of Vienna) due to its beautiful view. It is a terrace with views on the roof-tops of Vienna.

The food is average. Since I am not so fond of their Japanese food (very average), I always go for something Korean or Chinese. This time I had the Bulgogi Bento which is reasonably priced at 10,70 Euros.

Restaurants Vienna - Konoba

This is a new croatian fish restaurant. It is certainly not a place where one can go if one is in a rush. It took 20 minutes for the menu to come and took as 40 minutes to order. The whole meal took around 3 hours which was not a problem in our case since we were in no rush. But service is certainly not good and very improvised.

The fish was overall good. We ordered a fish platter which costs 37,50 Euros which would be enough for two very hungry people. For my taste they use too much butter and no other herbs, but some may like this.

This is not a cheap eat, but a nice change from the meaty Austrian food.

Restaurants Vienna - Il Sestante

This is a favourite of many Viennese people. The Pizza's, especially the simple Margarita is very delicious (with real mozzarella). A lot of Pizzerias today do not use mozzarella due to saving costs, however it makes a notable difference.

This is is also a restaurant where one can sit outside in the summer. The tables are just outside the Maria Treu church which is a pretty setting. The Restaurant's interior decor is very simple and surely not for a romantic date, but it is certainly a place to go with friends and family.

The Pizza's and pasta cost around 10 Euros each.

Restaurants Vienna - Steirerstoeckl

This is a place next to the Vienna woods (not central Vienna) with delicious styrian food. You can take the 41 tram to the end station Poetzleinsdorf and then go for a 10 minute stroll to the restaurant. The food is simple but with great flavours and fresh ingredients.

The main dishes cost around 12,90 Euros. I personally like the Bauernsalat (farmers salad) which has potatoes and bacon with a lovely pumpkin seed oil dressing. It is very tasty, but may not be filling enough for some.

It is pleasant to sit outside in the summer. The benches and tables are "Heurigen" style which are simple and made of wood.

Restaurants Vienna - Plachutta Wollzeile (very recommendable)

If you like beef, this is the place to go. Great selection of numerous beef dishes, as well as the traditional Austrian Tafelspitz.

Tafelspitz - boiled beef with root vegetables, usually served with roasted slices of potato and a mix of minced apples and horseradish or sour cream mix.

If one is not into boiled beef, there are plenty of other great beef dishes to choose from.

This place is loved by locals.

Great value for money. We spent about 23 Euros per person without drinks.

Restaurants Vienna - Figlmueller (very recommendable)

Deeeelicious Schnitzel! It is certainly touristy, but locals love it too!

There are two Figlmuellers next to each other near the city center (Stephansplatz). Most tourists wait for a long time to get into the crowded one in a small "passage". There is a much bigger one just around the corner with the same food and much more space and therefore no waiting time.

Schnitzel is a thin slice of veal/pork (there they have pork) coated in breadcrumbs and fried. Usually I am not such a fan of pork, but the Figlmueller Schnitzels are so thin and not at all stringy that it tastes delicious.

I also like ordering the natural grape juice with sparkling water (2 Euros).

Simple atmosphere. Service is super quick and good.

Probably the most expensive Schnitzel in town, but I certainly think it is worth it. (12,90 Euros for the Schnitzel). 22 Euros per person.

I have been there again in March 2010 and in my opinion they have become much more touristy. They serve ketch up with the Schnitzel and have long queues. So I would definitely recommend making a reservation.
