Vienna-Food and entertainment
Food and Entertainment
SALSA XII Sesquiannual Conference 2019
Lunch
The WMW and the KHM both have restaurants where you can enjoy your lunch break in a rather imperial atmosphere. As they may be crowded, we can also recommend places in walking distance to the museums. They all offer lunch menus (also vegetarian) costing between 8 and 12 Euros:
- Burg.ring: Austrian cuisine
- Hao Noodle & Tea: Asian cuisine
- Veggiezz: vegan cuisine
At the subway station Volkstheaterthere is a bakery selling sandwiches and hot and cold drinks as well as a Turkish snack bar. The Museumsquartier also has many good lunch options.
Dinner and entertainment
Vienna offers a great variety of cuisines and places to dine. If you are looking for something special, take the tram D from Volkstheater in the direction Nussdorf to the final stop. If you walk up the street to the left for a short while, you will find the typically Austrian Heurigen: these are wineries with restaurants offering homemade wine. Try the Gemischter Satz.
If you want to eat the famous Wiener Schnitzel, we can recommend the restaurant Figlmüller. It is a nice 15 minutes’ walk away from the WMW. Make a reservation or you will have to queue. A lively square with 4 restaurants, away from the tourist stream, is the Radetzkyplatz in the 3rd district, close to the Hundertwasserhaus. Take the tram 1 in the direction Prater Haupthalleand get off at Radetzkyplatz.
In summer, the banks of the Danube channel between the 1st and 2nd district is a popular place for locals and tourists alike. On the bank in the 2nd district you can find a variety of riverside restaurants. You can also buy some sandwiches and a bottle of wine and take a seat at the quay wall. Here it is allowed to consume alcohol in public. A visit to the amusement park Praterin the 2nd district is also exciting. Take a spin on the Giant Ferris Wheel (Wienerriesenrad) constructed in 1897, or drink a beer at the Schweizer Haus, founded in 1766.
