© Fabios
Chic terraces by the water, gardens shaded by trees or courtyards covered in ivy: Vienna's outdoor dining areas combine the best of all worlds. Falstaff reveals where to find the most beautiful spots for al fresco dining in Vienna.

See, be seen and enjoy some formidable Italian food - since it opened in 2002, there has hardly ever been an empty seat at prime time. Serving "food with character". Excellent service.

Tuchlauben 4–6, 1010 Vienna, Austria

Head chef Mike Feierabend has settled in well. The finest products, from sole to sturgeon and pheasant, creatively presented, accompanied by exquisite wines from patron Hermann Botolen's magnificent collection.

Fuhrmannsgasse 9, 1080 Vienna, Austria

Maria Zarl-Eckel is the third generation of her family to cook not only down-to-earth dishes such as natural schnitzel and boiled beef, but also exquisite dishes: her reputation precedes her lobster dishes. The desserts also leave nothing to be desired.

Sieveringer Straße 46, 1190 Vienna, Austria

The atmosphere, wines and service are all top-notch, and the wonderfully creative cuisine conjures up faux gras that will win over any carnivore. The best regional products are a must anyway.

Kandlgasse 12, 1070 Vienna, Austria

In the middle of the city and yet just like in the country, when the oleander is in bloom and vines twine across the courtyard. Fried liver sausage wreath with cabbage, rösti, mustard and horseradish - this is what Viennese cuisine tastes like.

Westbahnstraße 42, 1070 Vienna, Austria

Rustic dining rooms, shady garden. Michael Kantor and his team run the restaurant with a sense of tradition and gentle innovation. Specialties: Fried chicken, veal liver, fish soup. Great wine selection.

Scheibenbergstraße 11, 1180 Vienna, Austria

The standard menu features the all-time favorites of Viennese cuisine, with seasonal dishes such as pierogi with curd cheese and potato filling. Top: the idyllic garden.

Breite Gasse 4, 1070 Vienna, Austria

Whether brunch, family meal, afternoon snack or dinner date - you are always in good hands at the Sperling. International and regional cuisine in perfect balance. A green city jewel in summer.

Obere Augartenstraße 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria

When the weather is fine, there's a real buzz about the outdoor seating - and no wonder: with a view of the greenery, you can also enjoy "people-watching" while tasting good international dishes.

Burggarten 1, 1010 Vienna, Austria

Inside, the lovingly decorated restaurant exudes the retro charm of a rowing club, while the kitchen serves up the "stars" of international fish cuisine such as calamari fritti, moules frites and fish 'n' chips.

An der Unteren Alten Donau 61, 1220 Vienna, Austria
