• Graben and Kohlmarkt - The Graben in Vienna is the site of a former Roman military camp trench. This Food Tour begins at the Graben, which extends from Stephansplatz northwest to Kohlmarkt and Tuchlauben. Historical alleyways like Dorotheergasse, home to the Trzesniewski bread roll buffet, branch off from the Graben. In the Middle Ages, the Graben served as a market square, and by the late Middle Ages, elegant townhouses were constructed there. In 1679, Emperor Leopold I erected the baroque Trinity Column after a plague epidemic. The Graben then became a venue for grand secular and religious festivities. By the 18th century, upscale businesses had established themselves on the Graben, making it a popular promenade for Viennese society. A short walk from the Graben towards Am Hof leads to “Zum Scharzen Kameel” in Bognergasse, named after the bogners who lived near the Babenberg ducal court.
• Buffet Trzesniewski Dorotheergasse - During warmer months, locals and tourists gather outside the Trzesniewski Brötchen Bar in Dorotheergasse to enjoy sandwiches with a “Pfiff,” a small serving of beer. Founded in 1902 by Krakow native Franciszek Trzesniewski, the bar is known for its unique bread rolls topped with spreads made from ingredients like tomatoes, eggs, lentils, matjes, and beetroot. These rolls are easy to eat by hand, without cutlery. The legendary “Pfiff” beer, an eighth of a litre, is freshly tapped from the Ottakringer brewery, an Austrian-owned brewery in Vienna’s 16th district since 1837.
• Zum Schwarzen Kameel - In 1619, Johann Baptist Cameel from Brno purchased a house in Bognergasse to open a spice shop named “Zum schwarzen Kameel.” The Art Nouveau movement in Vienna, led by architects like Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos, influenced the high-quality materials used in the Black Camel’s interior. The establishment features a long bar with stools in front of a wine rack stocked with wines from renowned Austrian winegrowers in the Wachau and Kamptal regions. The Black Camel’s counter offers rolls with various fillings, including leek with salmon, red cabbage with tuna, lentils with diced ham, salmon cream with horseradish, housewife’s salad with matjes, and classic ham rolls with horseradish. Wiener Schnitzel is also available as finger food.
• Gasthof Zum Renner - Since 1899, Gasthof Zum Renner has been a traditional Viennese inn located in the north-west of Vienna, on Nußdorfer Platz in Vienna Döbling. Nußdorfer Platz is at the end of Greinergasse and is separated from the Danube by Heiligenstädterstrasse, a historic route to Klosterneuburg dating back to Roman times.
• Grinzing - Situated at the foot of the Kahlenberg in north-west Vienna, Grinzing was a thriving village by the early 12th century. In the Middle Ages, it was primarily inhabited by farmers, winegrowers, and day laborers serving monasteries or Viennese citizens. During Emperor Joseph II’s reign, “wine journeys” to Vienna’s surroundings became popular. After the Napoleonic Wars, Grinzing evolved into a “wine tavern town” with numerous wine taverns.
• Cobenzl - Aussicht - The Cobenzl on the Reisenberg, a local Viennese mountain on the edge of the Vienna Woods, originally belonged to the Jesuits. After the Jesuit order was dissolved, the mountain was acquired by Johann Philipp Graf Cobenzl. In 1907, under Mayor Karl Lueger, the property was purchased by the municipality of Vienna, which built a mountain and viewing road with hairpin bends starting from Grinzing. This road, also used by public buses, made Cobenzl a popular excursion destination in the 1930s. The iconic Rondell Café, built in the early 1950s with wood paneling, terrazzo floors, a mid-century bar, and a beautiful view of Vienna, was demolished and rebuilt in 2022. The new Café Rondell features a publicly accessible viewing terrace on the roof.
• Kurkonditorei OBERLAA - Café Dommayer - Café Dommayer, opened by the Schneider family after World War I, is located at the corner of Dommayergasse and Auhofstrasse on Anna-Strauss-Platz in Hietzing, Vienna’s 13th district. Hietzing, west of the city center and beyond Schönbrunn Palace on the southern bank of the Wien River, became an elegant residential area due to the settlement of aristocrats and high-ranking civil servants. In 1984, the Gerersdorfer family renovated Café Dommayer in the old Viennese style, and in 2006, the Oberlaa confectionery took over. The café features a garden with wooden decking and a spacious, shaded garden with trees and a small music pavilion.
• Hietzinger Pfarrkirche Maria Geburt - The Hietzing Church Am Platz in Hietzing was a pilgrimage church and a favorite of Maria Theresa, who visited daily during her stays at Schönbrunn Palace. Originating from a chapel of Klosterneuburg Abbey, the church was rebuilt in Gothic style in the 15th century and remodeled in Baroque style in the 17th century. The church attracted many pilgrims due to the miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, preserved in 1751.
• Schonbrunner Gardens - Schönbrunn Palace, built in the 18th century in the floodplain of the Vienna River in western Vienna, served as a summer residence for Empress Maria Theresa. The 160-hectare park at Schönbrunn Palace, initially a hunting ground for the Habsburgs, was designed in the French garden style around 1705/1706 by Jean Trehet, an apprentice of French garden architect Le Notre. The Great Schönbrunn Palm House, commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph I in 1880, is located in the park’s western bosket and built in the late historicist style. The western part of the park also houses Schönbrunn Zoo, the world’s oldest existing zoo, established by Emperor Franz I in 1752. The park, Palm House, and Zoo are open to visitors year-round.
• Zahel Weingut & Heuriger - The Zahel winery is located on Mauer’s main square, where Richard Zahel recognized the potential of the Wiener Gemischter Satz about 30 years ago. Today, the Demeter Zahel winery is run organically by Alexander Zahel, the fourth generation of the family. The Wiener Gemischter Satz Nußberg DAC, with 13% alcohol by volume, includes grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer. It has a fruity, elegant flavor with slight spiciness, subtle minerality, and a long finish. Wiener Gemischter Satz DAC is Vienna’s oldest ‘wine variety,’ as noble grape varieties like Riesling, Rotgipfler, Pinot Blanc, and Traminer were planted together with other white varieties in the 19th century. The different flowering times of the grape varieties helped prevent total harvest failure due to adverse weather conditions during flowering.
