VEGAN EUROTRIP – Where to eat in Vienna

Number 95-Austria!

Stop number three on this crazy whirlwind of a trip landed us in Vienna – just a short (ish) train ride from Budapest. And if you remember from my last post, we were well equipped on that train ride with incredible veggie burgers to go from that cute little hole in the wall near the train station in Budapest, Mennyorszag Szive Bio Bolt. Best decision!

We are happy to report that Vienna has a variety of Vegan options throughout the city but sadly we didn’t explore too many of them due to our weird time restraints and locations at meal times. We did manage to find a few amazing ones though, and thank goodness, because it wasn’t long before we were on our way to the most difficult spot to be a vegan on our whole trip…Albania. More on that later.

VIENNA

Maran Vegan Bistro

Stumpergasse 57, Vienna, Austria 1060

Stopping at this grocery store was so surreal. All of a sudden we were completely surrounded by ingredients we could eat. It was incredible to look around and be able to say ‘yes’ to EVERYTHING! The staff is so kind and worked very hard to be able to translate and communicate with us. There is a bit of a cafe section of the shop as well with some dining options and a buffet. We bought some food from the store section and enjoyed both a dinner meal and breakfast here. The breakfast was the best!

Lots of treats to choose from!

This breakfast was soooo mouthwateringly delicious – full of dates, plums, coconut, and berries – YUM!

A completely vegan grocery store…YES PLEASE!!

Harvest Cafe-Bistrot

Karmeliterplatz 1, Vienna, Austria 1020

This was a lovely place to sit outside and enjoy some local Austrian veganized food. The staff was very kind and the inside was quite cozy! We both LOVED our meals here (even though mine came nothing close to Austrian!

We ordered:

Geröstete Knödel, Salat – roasted dumplings & tofu crumble, side-salad
Schöner Döner – homemade roasted seitan, onions, tomato, tzatziki, turkish bread

When you’re here, you’ll know from the cute storefront.

Harvest Cafe-Bistrot’s cozy cafe vibes – we ate outside but it’s so cute inside!

Veganista

Neustiftgasse 23 (at Wien 7), Vienna, Austria, 1070

What an amazing treat after a lovely meal and sunset. And we didn’t even have to look this one up! Just found it on the side of the road on our way to dinner. I had the apple cinnamon sorbet and it was just incredible – tasted like apple pie!

That Veganista cone is SOOO excited to be eaten!

Tons of vegan flavors to choose from – and sampling is welcomed!

Veggiezz

Opernring 6, Vienna, Austria, 1010

This delightful restaurant has a couple locations and we enjoyed it so much for our lunch on our last day that we actually left a different restaurant (sorry!) to return here for dinner. Sadly, my dinner choice did not live up to my lunch meal, but I love the vibe and staff so much that it turned out for the better anyway 🙂

We ordered:

Special Club Sandwich – grilled smoked tofu, mango chutney, curry mayonnaise, cocktail sauce, vegan bacon, salad, tomatoes, cucumbers
Steak Bowl – sweet potato-mushroom quinoa, seitan steak filet, mixed salad, avocados, balsamic onions
Quinotto Chinatown – seasonal organic vegetables, grilled seitan strips, quinoa, chili, soy sauce
Delight Wrap – spicy green spelt patty, rocket salad, tomatoes, cucumber, grilled avocado strips, red onions, fresh sprouts, herb sauce
Sweet Potato Fries
