http://tupalo.com/de/users/153 Tupalo en-us /de/wien/taco-grill This place just opened last week. First thought: Awesome, Vienna is really lacking in Mexican fast food. Unfortuately, then I tried it... Prices are cheap, but at least so far the employees seem to have no idea what they're doing. It's pretty much built to resemble Taco Bell, but the quesadilla I had (which was heated -- or rather mildly warmed -- in what appeared to be toaster grill) did not even come anywhere near to the quality of the US fastfood chain: In fact, it was so bad I did not finish it. I might give this place another try in a few months, but in the meantime I'll stick to "Fresco Grill" in 1090. burrito burritos fastfood mexican quesedilla quesedillas taco tacos 48.232534 16.354479 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 21:20:56 +0000 /de/wien/taco-grill /de/wien/icebar-vienna This spot has closed. bereftoflife ceasedtobe closed dead ex-spot expired kickedthebucket passedon pushingupthedaisies restsinpeace stiff 48.232591 16.354426 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:14:36 +0000 /de/wien/icebar-vienna /de/wien/sagya Me: "Where's your non-smoking section?"

The staff is very friendly and the crowd mixed but kinda upscale, consisting mostly of museum visitors. Even though the food was good, I don't think I'll be back frequently -- it's just too expensive (9-16 Euros for an entree).

The menu is just how I like it, not very large but creative: I had "Crespelle mit Kürbis-Maronifüllung aus dem Ofen mit Schalotten-Oberscreme" and then pear dumplings that were so delicious my companion asked for the recipe. They apparently serve a limited selection of the menu until 1 am. The only drawback: It wasn't obvious to me which parts of the restaurant were non-smoking: Our table had a non-smoking sign on it, but guests two tables over were puffing away. creative gay late lesbian midnight queer relaxed 48.193493 16.354066 Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:15:20 +0000 /de/wien/willendorf /de/wien/pizzaria-ruffino The pasta exceeded my expectations, and the waiter was friendly enough.

It's run by a graphic designer who was so fed up with the contract work she's had to do all year, she decided to do her own little thing for the last month of 2008. She tried selling the product online, but sending crumbly cookies through the mail turned out to be not the easiest task, so she got this temporary physical space instead. At 12 Euros a pop her cookies might not be the cheapest around, but as a gift they certainly beat anything you'll find in a grocery store, and there's a volume discount.
