I want to love this place but I can't quite because both times I went, they most definitely poured me a smaller glass of sparkling wine than local people who spoke German. I watched in almost disbelief as they did it two days in a row. I've seen Americans cheated before in some countries. For example, in Italy, not only did they volunteer an English menu, the prices on it were higher than the menu in Italian. Sad, because we Americans are more likely to tip, since it is what we know. Overall, Julius Meinl is a cool and interesting place, just don't expect a full drink unless you appear a Regular. Great sushi, though!!!!

The chocolate is still made by the same family that has owned the shop for generations. This chocolate shop has drawers of chocolates to sift through. This used to be a button shop for the royalty. The drawers were full of buttons that the royalty could pick from to be on their clothes. Now the drawers are filled with buttons of delicious chocolates. The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant. Besides, who could be sour in a chocolate shop. It was some of the best chocolate we have ever had. We are keeping the hot chocolate mix for our trip to Tahoe later this year. It will be a way we can relive our amazing trip. I wanted to say thank you to the staff for being so friendly and helpful in selecting our chocolate. I gave it one Euro sign, but you could easily get carried away in here. We spent over $40 of chocolate because we knew we weren't going to be back anytime soon.

Not saying that I can't appreciate spices, olives baklava, and falafel, but I could use some variety in the Naschmart. I went for the sampler plate. All the recommended foods were excellent. The assortment of meats were all hits. Probably the best were the hams for me, but the cheeses were great as well. Both brothers were pretty nice, with Thomas talked to me most of the time. He offered more bread if I wanted it. The locals sitting next to me all told me that I made the right decision to come. The decor inside looks pretty old-world, with a variety of meats and cheese hanging in this super tiny place. Yes, I will be back if I get to visit Vienna again.
