Today I will announce winners of my little food challenge the other day and also introduce a couple of restaurants in Vienna. One is close by, in an area where I live at the moment. So! You probably can imagine how often you see me with friends or guests eating mind-blowing Austrian "goodies"!
Many visitors are of course always asking me, where to eat the best food. I had to explore myself because I didn't really know after my return to Vienna. You better be prepared if you wish to be a good airbnb host.
Vienna feels like Brooklyn for me with the industrial feeling of those "Bierboegen"!
This is a perfect shot for the "indigosaturday"
That's the way from U6 Subway Stop "Spittelau" to various restaurants in this unique area, I really love a lot, especially in summer when you can sit outside.

I am not eating a lot of meat and since I lived in SE-Asia for nearly two decades, I got used to a simple diet of tropical fruits, veggies in combination of rice but I have to confess that I am obviously true to my Austrian roots, enjoying the traditional "Koestlichkeiten", I was raised with in my home.
I love good food more than the gym:)
I gained weight since I am back in Wien but thats ok......Back to "Rubens- Figur!
If you are not Vegetarian, I suggest to eat at least once the popular "Tafelspitz" and here is where I found the best ones so far. I am sure there are many other places as well.
Tafelspitz (German Tafelspitz, literally meaning tip (of meat) for the table) is boiled veal or beef in broth, served with a mix of minced apples and horseradish. Although pork seems ubiquitous in Viennese cuisine nowadays, beef also has a long tradition hereabouts – as tastily proven by the Tafelspitz (boiled fillet of beef haunch). - Source Wien.info
The Menu looks like a magazin at Brandauer and you will find many delicious and huge meals.
I never leave without my "Doggie-bag".

Emperor Franz Joseph made boiled beef hugely popular when he declared that it was his favourite meal. Vienna attained a unique international position early on with the typical small cuts of beef. Among the many beef delicacies, it is undoubtedly the Tafelspitz that has achieved the greatest fame.- Text & Image Source from Platchutta's Website
