the best pizzeria in town!!! authentic Italian. the tiramisu is great, too. the seating area is perhaps not *the* best, so we often recommend to pick up a pizza and have it at home! as you wish, of course :)

vegan pizzeria with a very friendly owner. this is probably the tiniest pizzeria in town, but does impressive vegan versions of all your classics. also, this place is right next to the vegan ice-cream place, so I guess you know what you'll have for dessert :)

Café Central has been home to some of the greatest poets, philosophers and storytellers that walked Vienna’s streets. The famous psychoanalyst, Freud, was also seen there, meeting his patients for a coffee before taking them to his couch. They have good cake!

Bräuche und Kultur

All shops are closed on Sundays!

Austria holds on to the Catholic ideal of not working on Sunday. You will find that only cafés, restaurants, (some) museums, bakeries and flower shops are open on Sundays.
Nützliche Sätze

Mahlzeit!

This is Austrian (read: *not* German ;)) for 'bon appétit!'. It literally means 'mealtime!'.
