The Best Restaurants In Wieden Vienna

The district of Wieden is located a stone’s throw away from the heart of Vienna, making it a great area in which to grab a bite to eat after a day’s sightseeing. Read on to discover our pick of the best restaurants in Wieden.

1. Pizza Riva

Restaurant, Italian

Pizza Riva is a modern Italian eatery with an extensive menu. As well as the classic pizza toppings, there are also vegan versions to choose from, which are made without cheese, and with fresh ingredients such as avocado, artichoke and rocket. In addition to pizza, there is also a decent selection of salads, and a few pasta dishes. The interior is elegantly decorated and there is a generously sized seating area out front. Located down the road from the Karl’s Church, it is a great place to end up after a day’s sightseeing. Takeouts are also available.

2. Café Amacord

Restaurant, Austrian

Tucked away on a street adjacent to the bustling Naschmarkt, this cosy and quintessentially Austrian restaurant is a purveyor of traditional cuisine. Café Amacord offers a Viennese set menu with a beef broth for starters, a Wiener Schnitzel for main course, and apfelstrudel for dessert – expect a generous serving of whipped cream on the side.

3. Otto e Mezzo

Restaurant, Italian

This restaurant, named after the cult Fellini film, serves up delicious, traditional Italian fare. As well as ‘Napoli’-style pizzas, there is a wide range of pasta options and grilled meat and fish dishes. In warmer weather, a terrace opens up at the front of the restaurant so you can dine outside and enjoy some relaxed summer evenings.

5. Coté Sud

Restaurant, French

This small yet sophisticated restaurant is one of Wieden’s hidden gems. The head chef, Tim Galos, is passionate about curating exciting and authentic menus, combining both contemporary and traditional French cuisine, featuring dishes such as snails with butter and the quintessential French dessert, crème brûlée.

6. Swing Kitchen

Diner, Vegan, Vegetarian

Vegans shouldn’t have to miss out on the indulgent experience of devouring a burger. Swing Kitchen is the Viennese vegan’s go-to joint for fast food – partially devoid of guilt. Burgers and chips are the focus, with a good few varieties to choose from. The Vienna Burger offers the chance to experience a veal-free version of the city’s national dish, Wiener Schnitzel, made using a breadcrumbed soy patty. All the fast food essentials feature on the menu: nuggets, coleslaw, onion rings and wraps. Even the desserts impressively follow suit with the vegan theme — with offerings of tiramisu, muffins and ‘cheese’ cake.
