Berggasse 30

Reviewed 11. Sep 2008

Ok so the place itself isn't exactly nice lookin but honestly it's probably more authentically Mexican that way. Anyways, the food we had was really great; flavorful, plentiful and perfectly hot. Try the chicken with chili-chocolate sauce, it's really quite lovely!

Closed Adar Cigköfte Salonu
Wallensteinstraße 1
1200 Vienna

Reviewed 11. Sep 2008

Most likely the one and only place in town where you can get Cigköfte, a unique delicacy from eastern anatolia. Raw minced meat is mixed with an abundance of herbs and chilis spices, kneaded (by hand!) for a couple hours and then served with salad, chilis and lemon. It looks like pieces of play-dough and has an admittedly acquired taste (pretty damn hot, too!), but is hereby highly, highly recommended! Also try the Cigköfte Dürüm. They have expanded their selection considerably in the past few weeks but I haven't had a chance to try any of it. Yet.

Neubaugasse 75

Reviewed 21. Feb 2008

Shoddy interiors, average food, not at all suitable for vegetarians. Service was relatively unfriendly when we were there, but the place was packed and they were stressed.
Oh and when I reserve well in advance I expect to get a good table, not the one in the corner by the coats and next to the bathroom entrance.

Man, the masses of cash I spent there back in the days. Anyways, no one comes close to these guys, go there for all your DnB, Dubstep, Grime and Breaks needs, accept no substitute!
Support your local record store!

Closed Bunkerei
Obere Augartenstraße 1a
1020 Vienna

Reviewed 11. Sep 2008

Probably the only worthwhile place in the neighborhood and it's usually quite fine, although I have yet to eat anything really good there. Good for a beer or two on a warm summer evening.

Closed Café Sperl
Gumpendorfer Strasse 11
1060 Vienna

Reviewed 21. Feb 2008

I've been coming here for nearly 20 years and very little has changed, which is comforting in a way. Service is fine, can be a bit typically Viennese in the evening. Food is hit or miss, but the coffee and ambience cannot be beat.

Closed Centimeter III
Liechtensteinstraße 44
1090 Vienna

Reviewed 11. Sep 2008

What used to be a truly old-school Kaffeehaus is unfortunately still part of that execrable chain of low-cost, low-quality restaurants that are defacing the city. Why these are mentioned in pretty much all the guidebooks is beyond me. Anyways, if you want a true slice of Viennese Gasthaus life, go across the street to Wickerl.

Faulmanngasse 3

Lovely place, wholly dedicated to Matcha (green) Tea. Aside from stock of various Teas and paraphernalia to prepare it (it's an art), they offer wonderful Matcha chewing gum, Matcha chocolate, Matcha-Lattes, Matcha-Smoothies and other unlikely creations. Try the Umeboshi-Onigiri, my personal favorite.

Closed Echo
Passauer Platz 2
1010 Vienna

Reviewed 10. Sep 2008

It's a bit of a deja vu when you enter this place, it seems to be stuck in this romantic notion of Thailand circa 1998...interiors are vaguely colonial, the soundtrack comes courtesy a Buddha Bar compilation (or some other generic downtempo aural carpeting) and the waitress had that funky Beach-thing going on, dreadlocks n piercings and whatnot. So far, so Alex Garland.

Numerous, no: countless signs (and folders and posters...) advertise the fact that, yes, they travel with Eva Air (three times a week to Bangkok) although judging from the food they haven't really been there recently...
We had two starters, deep-fried-to-death spring rolls, which were more chinese than Thai, and Dim Sum, which were just chinese. My fault, I probably shoulda gone with the yummy-sounding salads, but the prices turned me off.
Main dishes weren't bad, they were just horribly bland and listless. The shrimp curry was soggy, just an uninspired mess of vegetables and average shrimps. Same went for the Wok with shrimps, just whatever veggies were around mixed in with masses of Thai Basil and Chili. Anything but Thai.

Oh, and earth to Echo: 4,80 for a small bottle of Singha beer isn't just outrageous, it's downright ridiculous.
