We arrived in Vienna late and just needed to get a quick bite near our hotel. However, after walking around the streets in this area for what felt like hours, we were getting somewhat disconsolate: terrible restaurants serving heavy Austrian dishes in horribly smoky atmospheres...seemed to be all that was on offer. Luckily, we then stumbled across this little gem.
We are exactly the sort of customers this family owned restaurant with a small menu could do without, since we turned up unexpectedly, without reservation, and demanding vegetarian food when Portuguese cuisine is meat and seafood heavy, and when indeed no veg was on the menu for the evening (I'm sure if you reserve and mention vegetarianism, they'll cater for you).
The waiter, who it turned out is the son in this family-owned outfit, was incredibly charming, not letting any annoyance show, teasing us (but in a funny way) about putting them out, then the kitchen proceeded to turn out expertly-fashioned, fresh and really tasty vegetarian dishes.
If they cook this well when put on the spot, they are definitely recommended for anyone.More
