We stopped here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. What a surprising gem! Best black tea I've had…read morein Wien in a month. Service was friendly and professional. Recently renovated in an Alt Bau cafe, but still has that old Wien "cafe culture" vibe. Comfy chairs and benches with heavy tables that the waiters can help you get into. The menu items are themed around famous writers and philosophers. The soft boiled egg was cooked perfectly, and the homemade "house marmalade" was a delicious apricot spread. The special twist here is the wonderful collection of books and cards for sale. There is also a piano to one side. I wonder if it gets played? I will definitely return. As as aside, if you go to any Austrian restaurant for a sit down meal, 30 minutes before closing, you are likely to be turned away. Closing time means that is the time the staff go home, not the time the last customer is allowed in the door. Work life balance is highly prized here - even for service industry staff - which is why they still have practically everything closed on Sundays and holidays.

I came at the morning for the first time, and very thing was great. I got a Fr. Cafe and Kipferl…read moreFruhstuck. Don't miss it!

I love how the grocery store is located inside a historical building. The inside of the grocery store is modern, stocked with produce and other typical grocery store items. I loved the orange juice machine! Check-out was easy with numerous self-checkouts. Locals were in line for the staffed checkouts which was interesting.

The worst of all them is the blond cashier, around her 50s; she is the worst: super unfriendly, looks always irritated and once that I paid for one apple in the coffee corner with the coffee to go (so I didn't have to wait in line twice), the blond cashier got SUPER mad and even yelled at me!! I'm never going back! That woman should work on her social skills!

I tried 8 different flavors, but still felt there was so much to explore. Holländer: Very creamy! It was basically like a nicely flavored ball of cream rolled in toasted almonds. Himbeer Torte: Loved the fresh raspberry overload. A great rush of sweet and tart. Though the texture was a little odd, kinda like Jell-O in cake form. Oberlaa Kurbad Torte: Many thin layers of cake alternating with thin layers of cream. Tasted kinda chocolatey and kinda caramelly. And it was delicious! Sacher Torte: Finally tried the famous sacher torte. To be honest, it kinda just tastes like a dense chocolate cake. The apricot jam layer is very thin, so you barely taste it against the rich chocolate. Kardinal Schnitte: Perhaps the most memorable cake I tried. It was so light and fluffy. Felt like clouds of meringue surrounding a light cream. Also, had a very subtle light taste. Maroni-Obers Torte: Lots of nice sweet chestnut paste alongside fluffy cake. Quite yummy. Topfen-Frucht Torte: A few layers of sweet and tart fruit and then some layers that reminded me of cheesecake. Trüffel Torte: It was in the same format was the Oberlaa Kurbad Torte with many alternating layers of cake and cream. Except this one was all chocolate. And, honestly, I liked it more than the Sacher Torte.

This place really is incredible; after a long wait, it replaced an otherwise bleh restaurant in…read morethis local and Athene has arrived. You enter the old space, but never really get there since you're immediately transported to Greece through the friendly waiters who will introduce themselves and shake your hand to welcome you (thanks, Niko!) - you're then seated (we've actually only ever sat outside) wherever your heart desires. This restaurant epitomizes casual elegance - you could go in jeans, you could go in a business suit and still feel equally comfortable. It's the food here that really stands out though - completely fresh - the fish, despite the realization that Austria does not have a Navy (no ocean's here, nor kangaroo's, but that's another story) tastes as if it took a flying leap from the ocean to Athene's kitchen. Their Greek Salad (heck, if you can't make one of these you shouldn't be in the Greek food business) is just phenomenal - cucumbers that crunch, olives that are the perfect salt mixtures, huge black and green ones, beautiful chunks of feta.... incredible. Hubby has gotten everything from a beef dish that was perfectly flavored to a full fish that was perfectly grilled, perfectly spiced. I love their lentil soup, their Greek salad and this incredibly garlic puree that I could eat large scoops of and ward off vampires for ages.... I could eat it with anything. Main courses come with a beautiful mixed salad, you're offered a small touch of ouzo at the end. Nothing better then a meal here, any night of the week. Plus they are open every day from 11 to midnight... Every day? It's all Greek to me.
