When you want a different taste in the trendy and historic first district of Vienna, one of the…read moreplaces I recommend is Hamama. This is a wonderful Arabian restaurant located only a couple of minutes from St. Stephen's Cathedral. The staff are so welcoming which is not always the case in this part of town and the atmosphere and music transport you to a different world. I love the wall murals especially. For food I can recommend the classic Arab dish Kabsse. It is served with meat or chicken and a tasty Tzatziki sauce. An accompanying harissa hot sauce also blends in perfectly although (a Tip:) save some of your salad to balance the heat if you use a lot as I do. And Hamama is open from lunch through to near midnight!

One evening recently on the way home from working late, I realized I didn't want to cook dinner. I…read morequickly ran a few options through the CPU of my brain and decided I felt like eating some Tunisian food. So a quick small detour found me at Le Couscous Chez Rachid. My first decision involved which table did I want to eat at - one in the Schanigarten or one inside. I chose a window table inside just because I like looking at all the Tunisian artwork. To start with, I ordered the excellent Tunisian soup with Linsen. It was a hearty bowl and got my taste buds all excited. The national Tunisian dish of lamb couscous which followed was also delicious. I love the texture of Tunisian couscous and adding in the fresh veggies and generous lamb portion, it was a dish I could not finish. Half of it went home for another delicious meal. And you know what? I def ordered (and indeed paid for) the small portion ... very ample serving!!! The older couple working here are the owners. They both take your order and cook as well as greet you. When you want to eat good Tunisian cuisine in Vienna, look no further then Le Couscous Chez Rachid. Diners from all around the world are also welcome!

Overall, a very good experience, and an easy walk from the Courtyard Marriott. We both said we would go back next time we are here.

However, several of the other recommendations that we had received for Vienna were already booked out (probably for good reasons). So, after checking out several other sites for walk-in opportunities, we went back to this place that we had walked by earlier. And we did not regret. After all, Greece had been wonderful, and the food here did not disappoint either. And even though they mixed up the order somewhat, we kept what they brought as it looked and tasted wonderfully.

In fact, we ended up eating there two nights in a row, something we never do, but the food was so good that we just had to come back. The first night we shared a mixed platter of three different types of fresh grilled fish. The fish was prepared perfectly; each fish served whole and deboned for us at our table. The second night we had various dishes including pasta, grilled squid (best we have ever had) and mussels in a white wine, tomato sauce. All excellent. Topping it off was great service in a very cozy setting. This is a somewhat new restaurant and I suspect it will get discovered very quickly!

Not a huge selection of items, but what they do have is very filling, and includes different sauces to spice it up, if you like. The drinks menu, though, is pretty extensive. (I was overjoyed to find that they had Malibu.) Tasty selection of Israeli wine, as well as a fantastic hot chocolate with rum for cold days. Downsides: There's little room to sit inside, which discourages big groups. Not a problem in summer, though, since they set up tables on the sidewalk. The service is another story. The servers tend to push by without apology and can be unfriendly and impatient. But I go to Maschu for the food, not to chat up the waiter, so this doesn't bother me. This is only the servers - the two guys who cook and work behind the counter (one also sometimes serves) are always friendly and quick to laugh. I DO go to chat with them. :) Also, watch the prices: The menu items on the Neubaugasse site can sometimes be a few more euros than the same items at the Schwedenplatz location.
