| Vienna (Wein) |
Rathaus Food Stalls Nightime Movie Opera This is THE fun thing to do in Vienna...We went here three times....because the food selection is so varied....and the atmosphere is so fun. Tourist and loads of locals alike...including a major teenage turnout at night...make this the place to mix and mingle. Food varies from traditional, to French, Turkish Japanese, Korean, Chinese, even good old American hamburgers and fries. The only problem is finding a table as most come for hours and hours to hang out. Operas play on the Large Movie screen at night...So grab some beer or wine...and sit, relax and people watch for fun |
Julius Meinl am Graben A huge gourmet grocery store filled with food from all nationalities. We bought German mustard in tubes, our favorite Belgian chocolates, Italian Pesto, German Spatzl, and more. |
| Demels 14 KohlMarket (same street at Julius Mein am Graben) Don't miss this famous pastry shop Everything is wonderful Everything is pricey Grab whatever makes you drool and find a park bench and ENJOY |
| We found honest-to-goodness Swiss Fondue From Church, turn left....go down two blocks...turn left. Look for the sign CHAMALEON Blutgasse 3 The Owner,Hans Schmid, moved here from Switzerland and he knows his stuff The Fondue is wonderful...as well as local dishes of pork, grazy and dumplings and Weiner Schnitzel |
