Vienna (AT)
23. July 2015: Restaurant Riva
I was told that the Restaurant Riva is one of the best pizzerias in Vienna. And while I was obviously highly sceptical as I had lived one year in Italy, I must say: that statement might even be true! However, first I went for the “Piatto misto Napoli (prosciutto, salami, artichokes, mozzarella di bufala, cherry […]
23. July 2015: Börsecaffé
Despite the fact that I have been working for almost one year pretty much right next to the former exchange in Vienna, I never managed to pay this place a visit. However, as conveniently it is located, there is not much to it with regards to atmosphere. It is nice to sit outside and have […]
23. July 2015: Julius Meinl am Graben
The Café Julius Meinl am Graben is mainly worth visiting for two reasons – its name and the possibility for people-watching. As simple as the whole design is, I must admit it is located quite ideally to watch people while drinking your double espresso and water in peace. The service is friendly and does a […]
3. March 2015: Restaurant Hitomi
I went for the lunch menu but was surprised with a miso soup (EUR 2.40) which was not charged as the miso soup is apparently not part of the lunch menu but another one is. Not that I had noticed if the waitress would not have come up to me and brought me a second […]
2. March 2015: Restaurant Plachutta’s Gasthaus zur Oper
I vividly remember the first time I have been to Plachutta’s Gasthaus zur Oper in 2012 and there I was quite disappointed. This time the experience was – luckily – a bit different. The evening started with fresh bread, spread and butter (EUR 2.00 per person). While I appreciated the bread and spread to make […]
2. March 2015: Restaurant eatalico
I was warned not to have a starter because the pizza was supposed to be large. And it was a good decision to not have a main course although I must admit that this is something I would usually not believe but in this particular case my “Pizza Diavolo (tomato sauce, cheese, spicy salami, pepperoncini)” […]
2. March 2015: Restaurant Bristol @ Hotel Bristol
I always love to get back to the Hotel Bristol in Vienna – not only because the hotel is beautiful (especially the new parts) – but especially because the breakfast you find here is absolutely outstanding. The quality of the dishes is amazing and the range of breakfast choices is vast … … not only […]
11. December 2014: Restaurant LOLA – Spanish Tapas
The concept of the restaurant LOLA is really to have a lot of different tapas – and I started with rather tasty and hot “pimientos de padrón” – and I experienced the first time that they can actually be really spicy. So far, I had always thought that they use chilis which are not too […]
