What mike said.

Bestest fake meat experience I had so far. I even had to pass on the fish because it was too close to real fish. And real fish, not my thing.

Hot damn, a Formosa cafe in Vienna is a dream come true.

Formosa being the distributor of all the fine mock meats that every other vegan/vegetarian restaurant uses in their meals. The meals are all extremely hearty, full of fake meat, rice and salad, with a side of warm spiced soy milk included! They have a different soup almost everyday, this visit of mine being one of the best damn pumpking and mushroom soups I've ever had.

The service is attentive *almost* to the point of being over-bearing, but not quite reaching that point.

Prices are insanely affordable and it's hard to sit next to their fridges full of mock meats without taking home a few packages of whatever was just in the meal they served you.

The cafe area is smaller, with seating for 8, so if you are in a group of 3 or more, call ahead and reserve the big table.

Oh, not on the menu, but ask if they can make you a mixed plate, it's full of different mock meats and rice for 6.80 EUR and well worth it if they feel like making it for you.

all the vegetarian/vegan mock meat you can think of and finally in a great location, too!

tofutti cream cheese, sheese, vegan cookies, flapjacks (my favourites are banana and coconut), soy sauce, chocolate, and they even serve warm food and home made warm soy milk.
the ladies working there are great, give you good advice and are just overwhelmingly friendly. a great addition to my neighbourhood.

A second unit that is located more centrally in addition to the HQ of Formosa Food at Zirkusgasse.

This place is great, you get lots of vegetarian and vegan fake meats like chicken and ham, you get scheese and tofutti cream cheese, you get sweeties, and you can even get a snack there, as its a shop/restaurant.
