Mister Sarkis is developing a comfortable, affordable, worthwhile spot in a formerly grim Austrian restaurant. Excellent humus and chicken skewers. Stiegl on tap.

At least they are somehow connected.

I thought the rooms were perfect. They basically moved into an old style "old man" restaurant and left it intact with only slightly hipped-up accessories. Then, they stuck to the local menu, but focused on delivering slightly higher quality products. It's good, but not amazing. Compared to other nearby Wiener Küche places, though, it's awesome.

One huge problem, though, is the fact that even though there are two big rooms, neither of them is designated as non-smoking. This is a total fucking bummer.

However, one can get "to go" coffee from here while doing your shopping on Kaiserstraße. The coffee is pretty much standard Vienna quality, i.e. not very good. But you're used to that, right?

I recommend it for "to go". Especially after Fair u. Mehr ripped me of for €4,50 for a to go Latte a few months back.

I was turned onto it by a guy who knew I'd like it if he introduced it as the place where everyone was using Macs. Nice, mellow vibe, decent food.
