Routes and restaurants to enjoy your trip more than ever

In the space between  Linke Wienzeile and Rechte Wienzeile

Mon – Sat 6:00 to 19:30. The bars and restaurants until 23:00

There are other markets in Vienna, such as that of Brunnenmarkt in Yppenplatz (more alternative and ethnic), but the famous and that, although it is full of tourists, it is worth going for breakfast, lunch or dinner is the Naschmarkt . Even for us, the most enjoyable time is mid-morning to make a kind of brunch. Ideal for example if you have no breakfast included in the hotel. If you have a strong stomach and original sandwiches like you, do not fail to try the wrapps of tuna or salmon, or shrimp sandwich in the Nordsee, a chain of fast-food but pestles that Naschmarkt decided to its flagship store. The famous fish-market as Berger in Norway could learn more than one thing from these people.

If what you will is a traditional breakfast and sat down, you can go to if you are hungry or Tewa better Naschmarkt Deli if you want to try a latte coffee first. Decorated either mono, the dishes also have the same suit, but not just been fantastic … From 7-10 euros, will have several combined coffee, juice and different types of breakfast (Vienna, English, etc …). Yes, at night for a drink is the most themed street.

But if you want to come to eat we recommend the Piccola Italia! Like La Bottega is an Italian deli with a few tables for eating. I love stuffed pasta!

You will find again and again “wurst kiosks” in Vienna, although most seem more a falafel, shawerma or pizza-taglio vendors not the famous wieners. Among the locals, one of the kiosks that have the reputation of being the best is right in front of the Albertina Museum in Albertinaplatz 1 (behind the Opera): Würstelstand Albertina. Another you might as well take the prize is the one next to and behind the Opera in Kärntnerstraße 42.

Other recognized is the one in the area known as the “Bermuda Triangle” (so called because one can get lost in all bars and … but the truth, there is no deal … These Viennese certainly never have been lost San Sebastian’s old town). It is the area between Rabensteig, Seitenstettengasse and Ruprechtsplatz. More or less looking at the map in the “ring” (the ring are different avenues along the Danube to the east, around the old town, right where they were before the wall), top right. The third in the running would be to Hoher Markt, near the Bermuda Triangle.

And if you want to sit in a room with clean soil, which leads the medal is the Xpedit lately Schleifmühlgasse Kiosk in July. But what can I say, much better take on the street sausage, tastes the same, it is cheaper and you have to go to Schleifmühlgasse. Also, before arriving would spend the Naschmarkt and I of you would stay out there (in another post I talked about this market).

Cafe Sacher in Philharmonikerstrasse 4

Chocolatiers in Kohlmarkt Demel 14

Ok, they invented the sachertorte in the Cafe Sacher Hotel with the same name. And it always will. As the name, but nothing more. With strawberry flavor too, looks more like a Bony not a chocolate cake. Nothing to do beside which you will find in Demel. Original top out at € 4.90 while in Demel for € 3.70 will taste a cake for chuparos fingers!

Cafe Central

Herrengasse 14

Near to the Spanish Riding School, you have the Café Central. It appears in most of the guides and it really worth it. If you are tired and want to sit a while, try the typical Viennese coffee (wiener melange). 4.20 € for a cup will seem a robbery and it really is, but it is good and the place is worth it … Just do not bite the and not even think to ask for anything more, even if it’s embarrassing take only a couple of coffees! The cakes are worthless and less than 4 € you won’t find anything …

Figlmueller Wollzeile May street (although next have another)

Schnitzlwirt in Neubaugassee 52

If you search on Google you”ll see it clear: Figlmueller. Your own website gets the first of the list and the top 20 results speak about it. Also, the guys are not ashamed:  you can read the advertising on trams “We make it big”. His position is clear. And, I must say, they comply what we expect. Although we tested larger your “wien-schnitzel” does not fit on the plate. It is also true they do cheat a bit different because the dish, without being dessert, it deserves the diminutive. But the batter is impeccable, the service perfect and the place has its charm. Beware of the time because it’s easy having to queue. Best to eat and always after 14.00. Forget beer also because here only have wine, but with the decanter you will be more than satisfied and although at first it seems expensive (€ 5.20 on 1/8) of the jug you can get more out of a glass.

To accompany you suggest your potato-salad. If you want to try (not bad) with a two-will have more than enough. If you are like us who eat meat do not know about “french-fries” you will stay with the desire (and do not think that their “roasted-potatoes” can act as they have nothing to do …).

A € 13.80 Schnitzel does not seem expensive to go to the most famous site around Vienna … until you test the the Schnitzelwirt, Neubaugassee Street 52. Only € 6.50 the plate and that it does not fit the same, so they have to cut it into two pieces. Take one for two and go out to burst. Not so fine, in every way, like the Filgmueller, but if you love the breaded meat and want to eat for four dollars is a great choice! And if you like the Cordon Blue, Give a reward but give you almost double the pleasure! Yes, always come hungry or will leave half on the plate. And here, do not fail to try their beer. Fresh and original flavor.

Zawodsky

Reinischgasse 3

Maybe the translation will be “winery”, because in southern Europe there aren’t these kind of sites. Lie, in Tuscany I know a couple of fantastic villas surrounded by vineyards where you put the sausages almost overshadows the cup of their delicious wines. The Austrians are heuriger home, without losing the charm but without being as informal as the garages of the “guachinches” in Tenerife (we have one on our list scrumptious …).

These are small family vineyards, to promote your own broth, started serving wine glasses. After all accompanied with some snacks, cheeses, emutidos and some “spread”. And now most are restaurants. Without the “almost” find a few but neither ye seek. Or have prostituted or were born crooked. The real costs get computer and we were lucky enough to find one of them. One of the most typical areas to go to Vienna heurigers near Grinzing. The good thing is that with tram 38 will arrive directly in about 40min tops. Get off at the last stop and you will feel like in a village.

Viena heuriger Zawodsky bis

“Heuriger” means “this year”, a kind of Austrian “beaujoleu” and most of them serve wine in its “courtyards”, something like a biergarden. However, if you walk a little more you can get even the best of all Zawodsky in Reinischgasse 3. It’s a little hard to find and you will probably have wanted to leave it alone. More if you come to the door because for anything is palatable. No!! One of the best experiences in Vienna. Come inside and, if you like, id first garden to the left of the house. Just seeing the wooden tables scattered among the vineyards and the stunning views as if you were in the middle of the mountain, you will have you will have successful course. The wine you serve it at the table, the food will have to get yourselves in the lower floor of the house. Bought to weight as if you were in a deli you can choose from several options, but I always come cheap (from 2.20 to 2.80 bottled wine glass, the half carafe cheap and the food for 10 € per person will have more than enough ).

In the Smart Route is explained more specifically. We tell you how to arrive and which wines worth it, but in any case do not let go!

Kleeblattgasse 5

Mon – Fri 11:00 to 2:00, Sat – Sun 17:00 to 2:00

If you follow this blog, you will notice that one of our obsessions is, when we travel, we like having a good pizza near … In Vienna you will find the best in Leopoldsgasse 23rd , or a good and cheap, the “mafia” in Reindorfgasse 15. The first falls far ways away and the second is between Mariahilfer Strase and Naschmarkt, where there are already too many options so do not touch (our “commitment” is never given so many alternatives that you turn crazy picking … but say only clear and direct recommendations ).

But the center of Vienna, in the ring, it is not easy to find a good site that is local and wallet can handle it. Tourist traps of all colors find. And some really nice. Terraces and charming spots, with candles and wooden tables. Surely some will be a great time but there scouter travel the world that has tried them all … But if you ask local they never go to these sites and there must be …

But there is one exception: the Kolar. If you manage to find it (it is a very short street in a “U” that leaves and returns to Tuchlauben), you prove, and, “Fladen”, a kind of pizza folded like a mix of calzone and pita. Do not miss the tuna! (€ 5.40 large portion that will leave you full of everything, but there from 3 €). Their beer is also Krügel first (€ 3.20 Pitcher 0.5 lit).

Throughout Mariahilferstraße, a sort of Portal de l’Angel in Barcelona but in Vienna, find all the chains and franchises worldwide, global world. A little further up the alternative is Neubaugasse, at the height of the metro station of the same name. In addition, four or five blocks up come to a genuine site for the famous wien-schnitzel but that’ll tell you in another post.

Now we were about Mariahilferstrase. At number 45, you will see a small entrance like a cave. Meteros by this passage and go down watching the little shops and cafes a few find. Once across, a couple of streets and you will be at the famous Naschmarket. But that will also be discussed in another post.

Now Mariahilferstrase just wanted to tell you about. If you are in Vienna, it’s late and do not want to go to sleep, give you a walk through here. Not that they have bars and pubs, there are none. Not that late Habran stores that either (well, you have a small shopping center that is open until 24 but does not look too). It’s just that all day you will see people wandering up and down this street. Three franchises clothing and food. That is the extent, if within the shawerma include food, wurst kiosks and any Asian noodles with chopsticks and take out. Eating well does not eat, but go hungry either …

Sobieskiplatz 4

In Vienna, tourists barely leave the “ring” and if they do it, it’s because they are clear on where to go:

1) Palace of Maria Theresa,

2) Shopping at Mariahilferstrase

3) The summit work of Austria’s “Gaudi”, Hundertwasser.

4) Or, the Prater amusement park.

Well, it is not so hard. It’s as easy as start walking, cross the double ring of streets (old city walls, converted to tram rides) and cease being a tourist to start being a real traveller… The problem is to guess in which direction you should go. To the north, District 9. Take tram 38 from the University (next to Town Hall) and get off at Alserbachstrase stop. A couple of streets away you will find Sobieskiplatz, Vienna 100% authentic. Like a village.

There you will have everything. One fountain, a couple of trees shading, and local people seing how time goes by. And best of all, one brewery in which you will be the only foreigner: Highlander. To celebrate, try the beer they produce (3.20 €, 0.5 lt). It tastes quite similar to “weizbier” but with a lemonade touch, sure that you like. While you will be comfortable sitting at the terrace, do not fail to enter and see the two tanks where they ferment the beer. If you are hungry, it is a good place to try the local schnitzel.
