The best breakfast and brunch places in Vienna's 8th district
The beauty and grace of this French patisserie can hardly be put into words. Each tartlet is a visual work of art and a real treat in terms of flavour. Not to try something here would simply be a sin. At least one macaron is a must!
Vegetarian kitchen and dining room: everything here revolves around fresh lunch and takeaway dishes, all lovingly prepared with produce from regional producers. Salads, curries, pasta - colourful, healthy and vegan, of course. Your own crockery saves waste and you are welcome to take it with you.
Here, breakfast is an all-day affair. The Avo bread is a classic: imaginatively arranged, colourful compositions of crunch, seeds, fruit and herbs pile up to form small works of art. Layer by layer, an experience for all the senses.
Breakfast is served here until 2.30 pm, and even longer at weekends. From French toast and omelettes to a veggie combo made from the best ingredients and Joseph bread, everything is available. It's best to stay afterwards, as fresh strudel comes out of the oven every day.
The name says a lot about this rustic restaurant with a living room atmosphere: cosiness and Viennese coffee house flair prevail, but with a little zeitgeist - for example in the form of breakfast until late afternoon. Fine desserts and top coffee!
Cheers to the Melange - and not just in name. Because the Viennese's favourite hot drink is conjured up here from either Italian or Viennese roast. You can also savour the bakery's products, including vegan, gluten-free and more.
Mediterranean and Levantine touches characterise the lovingly prepared breakfast options, while the drinks are also boldly diverse and delightfully creative. And the best thing is that you can look around for new jewellery while you enjoy your meal.
Politicians, businesspeople, tourists, students and daydreamers find their retreat here in the comfortable booths to do their thing. The traditional Viennese café with its charming patina is being led into the future by Gert Kunze with fresh ideas.
In the pretty "dining room", you can indulge in meat delicacies - even the finest ones if you wish, because in addition to perfectly prepared cuts from Austria, the USA and South America, there are also Wagyu delicacies to tempt you.
It could also be Berlin, but it's in the centre of Vienna. It's not just the combination of coolness and vintage that has been copied from the German capital's hipsteria. After the not-quite-mainstream breakfast there's currywurst, minced meat rolls and meatballs.
Family-run since 1935, the café is a central meeting place in Josefstadt and a traditional business from the very beginning. Austrian classics are served here all day long - from butter sandwiches to deluxe salmon feasts at breakfast.
Tradition is revived in the first coffee house in Vienna's Josefstadt district. Breakfast ranges from "Bonjour" with croissant to "Aloha" with granola and fruit to "Namenlos" with bagel. Coffee is also on the menu - from classics to banana macchiato.
A café, uncomplicated, charming and simply cosy - and known for its savoury galettes and sweet crêpes with fillings such as crème caramel or chestnuts. The breakfast selection is large. A particular favourite: the weekly provincial brunch with all the trimmings.
In the pretty café, the wake-up coffee deserves its name, as the Calabrian coffee is served in a strong cup. This makes it an excellent accompaniment to the all-day breakfast, the pastries and also makes a marvellous end to lunch.
Thomas Pospischil focuses on honest cuisine with an attitude: organic quality, regional ingredients and active animal welfare take centre stage. From creative breakfasts to the legendary Sunday brunch with free-flow Prosecco - and all of this in an enjoyable way.
As befits a classic pub, lovers of freshly tapped beer and whisk(e)y fans are in the right place here, but the small, fine selection of cocktails with a recognisable Irish focus also goes well with the well-made pub food: the range extends from the "Irish Negroni" to the "Irish Old Fashioned".
