[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]10 Best restaurant in Vienna
Vienna’s culinary scene is as rich as its cultural calendar: it thrives on the delicacies of Austrian cuisine and borrows from international influences, such as nearby Italy and Germany. The restaurants in the former imperial capital reflect this, offering traditional, stunning food that ranges from the classic wiener schnitzel and Sachertorte to insider treats, such as Frittatensuppe or Tafelspitz. We take a gastronomic tour of Vienna to bring you its 10 best cultural restaurants.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4839″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Skopik & Lohn
Originally intended to open in New York, Skopik & Lohn is located many thousands of miles away in Karmelitermarkt, an artsy area of Vienna’s second district. This restaurant is both serious and playful about its food, drink and atmosphere, cleverly combining the elegance of Austrian fine dining with the laid-back feel of a 1920s NYC bistro (think Viennese favourites, such as wiener schnitzel). Designed by Austrian artist Otto Zitko, its interior is dramatic, with chaotic black splashes dashed across the ceiling in stark contrast to the neat, white-clothed tables underneath.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4841″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
Figlmüller
This place offers a few typical Austrian main dishes, but people visit here for one reason only – the wiener schnitzel. Figlmüller is already an institution in Vienna and popular among both locals and tourists alike. It is furnished in an original Austrian pub-like decor and waiters still wear traditional smoking jackets. All of these elements lend a special antique and elegant charm to the whole experience of this restaurant.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4842″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
Considered one of the oldest taverns in Vienna, enjoy your wiener schnitzel in a building that dates back to the 12th century. Pfarrwirt’s saying, ‘a wiener schnitzel is a wiener schnitzel’, makes an allusion to its simplicity. Located in Vienna’s 19th district, where the city’s historic vineyards are, it is an ideal place to have dinner after a long walk in the hills.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4843″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
This restaurant, bar and pâtisserie offers Viennese and international cuisine along with more than 800 wines from national and international estates. Here is where you’ll find a variety of typical Austrian dishes, from schnitzel to apfelstrudel. You can also opt for a drink at the bar, which is a great place to meet, day or night. The restaurant also produces its own tasty produce, including marmalade, chocolate, oils and pasta, which are for sale in the neighbouring shop.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4844″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
Café Dommayer
Enjoy one of Vienna’s most celebrated cakes inside of one of the city’s most traditional cafes. The Sachertorte at Dommayer is quite simple, remaining as true as possible to the original recipe. Dommayer is one of the city’s most prized coffee houses and it is known for upkeeping Viennese tradition. Located around the corner from Schönbrunn Palace, it’s a lovely place to grab a coffee and a slice of Sachertorte, or a larger meal, after a day spent wandering the Imperial grounds.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4845″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
Boasting picturesque views along the canal, Motto am Fluss is situated inside a glass covered building designed to resemble a naval vessel. The menu is made up of a mix of gourmet Austrian and international dishes, with many classics like beef tartare, salmon fillet and wiener schnitzel. A classier option, as opposed to some of the more casual eateries along the canal, this restaurant is perfect for formal occasions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4846″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
Located in an old Palais in the centre of Vienna, the interior of this two-star Michelin restaurant boasts classic stone walls combined with modern design, giving Silvio Nickol im Palais Coburg a unique feel. Each meal is made with precision and you can choose between five, seven or nine-course menus (meat, fish and vegetarian options are all on offer), which can be ordered with or without wine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4847″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Erich
A subterranean bar-slash-restaurant in the cool 7th district. Erich is tucked away down the side of Sankt-Ulrichsplatz, and it’s easy to walk past it – but you’ll be glad you didn’t. From breakfast tacos to salmon poke bowls and dairy-free sundaes made in collaboration with Veganista, Vienna’s first all-vegan ice cream parlour, it ticks all the boxes around the clock.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4848″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Mama Liu & Sons
Great value dim sum, hot pot and noodles in a loft-style dining room – it’s easy on the wallet, but a night at Mama Liu & Sons still feels like a treat.
The fried and steamed dumplings are a standout, and it’s worth saving space for less obvious dishes like smacked cucumber and homemade tofu balls. The huge, hearty hotpots easily feed two – choose between a vegan version, a seafood one and a meat feast. If you’re travelling solo you can park yourself at the bar with a cocktail and a 10-piece dim sum set for under €20.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4849″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
The Palmenhaus
Vienna’s world-famous botanical hothouse (think Kew with a fancier roof), overlooking the stately Buggarten gardens, is home to an all-day brasserie. The menu is Austrian-meets-Mediterranean, with a strong selection of wines by the glass, expertly mixed cocktails and desserts to die for. Frond memories guaranteed.
Where else can you tuck into dumplings surrounded by loads of lush tropical foliage? It’s especially inviting on a chilly day: follow up one of the hearty lunch specials (mushroom ragout, strozzapreti with veal bolognese) with a slice of warm almond-and-chocolate[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

If you already know the typical sights in Vienna and want to experience something a bit different on your city trip to Vienna, then you’ve come to the right place.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4831″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
Kahlenberg – The most beautiful viewpoint in Vienna
Whenever we asked people for their favorite spot for the best view of the city, we always got the same response: the Kahlenberg. The 480-meter-high summit is located to the northeast of the city and offers a great view of Vienna.
On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Carpathians in neighboring Slovakia. Especially at the weekend, many Viennese flock to the Kahlenberg.
Only a few hundred meters from the Kahlenberg lies the Cobenzl. This hill, officially called Latisberg, also offers a great view of Vienna.
How to get there: Take the U4 to the terminus at Heiligenstadt. From there, take bus number 38A, which stops at the Cobenzl first and then continues to the Kahlenberg.

The Danube Island is a 21-km-long and up to 250-meter-wide artificial island on the Danube. It was originally created in the 70s and 80s as a flood barrier and is now the most popular local recreational area in the city.
On the Danube Island, you can hike, bike, skate, or simply escape the hustle and bustle of the city with a picnic.
The Danube Island is the perfect place to take children: There’s a beach, a climbing park, a huge water playground, and the world’s largest trampoline park.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4834″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
The Danube Canal is the arm of the Danube that flows right through the middle of the city. It separates the 2nd district (Leopoldstadt) from the 1st and 3rd districts.
There’s lots of graffiti and street art along the Danube Canal, and in recent years many great beach bars have sprung up. Locals are especially fond of Tel Aviv Beachand Strandbar Hermann.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4835″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Das Loft – The coolest skybar in Vienna
Das Loft is a great bar with an absolutely outstanding view of Vienna. The bar is located on the 18th floor of the Sofitel and is a real experience. Not only is the view great, the cocktails are really good too.
In addition to a bar, Das Loft also has a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Both the bar and the restaurant are usually pretty crowded, so it’s a good idea to make a reservation before you go.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”4836″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]
Franziskanerplatz – Viennese coffee house culture straight out of a picture-postcard
Franziskanerplatz is a small square in downtown Vienna. It’s just as beautiful as the rest of the city center, but still there’s something very special here: the Kleines Café.
At first glance, the Kleines Café – which literally means “small café” – seems very inconspicuous, and in fact it isn’t as huge an attraction as the famous Café Sacher, but that’s what makes it so special.
The café is cramped and smoky and looks as if time stood still decades ago. So if you want to visit a typical Viennese café away from the tourist crowds, then the Kleines Café on Franziskanerplatz is the right place for you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
