One of those is Mill. It's located somewhat off the beaten path near Mariahilfestraße, which may be a reason why I've never heard of it before.

The outside looks innocuous enough, but one's surprised by a charming little courtyard that's extended into a roofed area that's equipped with massive tables and quite idiosyncratic interior design.

I haven't had any of the food, but the menu looks somewhere south of traditional Viennese, the waiters and waitresses are very friendly and once the courtyard needs to be cleared (round 9:45pm), the inside is just as charming.

Overall Mill's a nice surprise and it's definitely a place to dazzle non-Viennese with Vienna's gastronomical diversity.

Our waiter was exceptionally friendly and he seemed to be fluent in at least five languages.

It's not exactly cheap, but the food isn't cheaply made either.
