There's a political, leftist/activist slant to the place. It's open to the public Monday to Friday from 2 to 8 pm.

Italian owners, open since 1964, ice cream made from fresh fruit from the market across the street. It's been a season or two since I've been there, but I'd recommend the melon (cantaloupe) and After Eight flavors.

However, I couldn't tell you exactly what that consisted of: Organic somethingorother with a side dish of all-natural whatchamacallit. Despite not being able to identify my food, it was all good once I had figured out which parts were sweet and which savoury. The atmosphere is just great, and I'll be sure to return for some more delicious mystery food soon.

Not unlike the Creperie in nearby Schlösselgasse, they serve a large variety of crepes, galettes and waffles – only here they're made from buckwheat and soya milk, and are a bit more expensive. They also have a huge selection of teas. The staff is very friendly, and there's a whole library of books to browse or buy. Highly recommended. organic bio crepes charming soja soya 48.210592 16.351256 Tue, 19 Feb 2008 23:21:48 +0100 http://tupalo.com/spot/2180-cafe-der-provinz-vienna-austria http://tupalo.com/spot/787-luftbad-vienna-austria The Luftbad is a cozy, intimate, down-to-earth bar tucked away in a small street near the Apollo cinema. It has a little stage, which often hosts local funk/soul/acoustic/world music/jam/hip-hop bands. I haven't spent a lot of time there, but I've always gotten the impression that everyone else in the room knows eachother personally. Although that's probably because we actually crashed a private birthday party the first time we wandered in.

Open only on Friday and Saturday nights from 6-2, they serve a different, creative four-course menu (with vegetarian choices as well) each week. When I was there, every course involved apricots in some way, but it's not always that gimmicky. Check their website for the current menu -- but beware that they close during the summer.

But you can't just dismiss the venue altogether: The one saving grace is the "Gravity" festival and associated events in spring. A stark contrast to the location and its usual concert fare, these are some of the best concerts in Vienna, bringing awesome, relatively obscure indie bands to Vienna, often for the first time.
