Tichy

aufgrund eines vergleichs mit dem eissalon am tuchlauben gibt es leider nur 3 sterne. aber die eismarillenknödel bleiben natürlich unerreicht!

Herrliches Eis - beinahe zu fruchtig und süß. Die Serviererinnen sind mit der Lokaleinrichtung in Anstand gealtert, die Tichy-Eisspezialitäten bekommt man sonst nirgends (die diversen Knödel und Busserl, aber auch die old-fashioned Coups (Schiwago, Pfirsich-Eisbowle, ...) oder ganz speziell das überbackene Eis). Preise sehr in Ordnung, die Umgebung so lala... Auch liebenswert old-fashioned: jährlich die drei beinahe gleichen gemalten Werbeplakate!

Es gibt Leute, denen das Eis von Tichy nicht schmeckt. Aber diese Leute verstehe ich nicht. Das Eis ist sehr gut, sehr süß und generell sehr geschmacksintensiv.
Aber wirklich besonders wirds, wenn man einen Sitzplatz ergattert um eine der Eis-Spezialitäten zu essen. Mein absoluter Favorit ist der "Cup Johann Strauß". Nachdem ich den gegessen habe, hab ich 3 Wochen lang an nichts anderes mehr denken können. Kein Witz.
Cup Schiwago ist auch sehr gut!

i went there once because i thought it was part of being viennese. first thing i noticed was how incredibly crowded the place was, but i got a place to sit outside. the ice cream itself, however, couldn't keep up with the public opinion - what i got was a tiny portion tasting like nothing.
went there a second time to give it another chance, ordered something else, but it still didn't convince me. plus, the old-fashioned interior really isn't that charming.

I'm somewhat of an ice-cream addict (i love to wolf down a liter at a time, i'm somewhat of a glutton in the summer ;) and i can say that Tichy has some of the best Vienna has to offer. As soon as they open the doors (usually while it's still rather cold out, April i believe?) its packed full - always! It's never not full in fact, and if that doesn't say something for quality, then i don't know what does ;) I'm addicted to this place just like everyone else, i usually get a 1L box for about. 8 euro(??) which is about the norm in Vienna for hand-made ice-cream i.e. not that crap that all stores sell.

For those who don't know Tichy: It's a very famous ice cream saloon which exports ice cream to Japan and many other countries. Furthermore Tichy invented the infamous "Eismarillenknödel". They do not have any subsidiaries, so this place is unique! As well as the ice cream. No other saloon can offer such tasty and creamy ice cream.

One bad thing: On a hot day you will wait for 15min to get ice cream because it is always crowed. But what can I say? It's more than worth it ;)
