Culinary happenings on Naschmarkt in Vienna

Do-An and Naschmarkt Deli were gastronomic pioneers. They have managed to make Naschmarkt interesting for a young, urban crowd. DJs also provide entertainment here on the weekend. Since then, numerous old market stands have become popular places to meet thanks to their modern architecture.

Tewa on the Naschmarkt offers organic cuisine, Neni serves Israeli-Oriental specialties from shakshuka (eggs with vegetables) to taboulleh (Lebanese salad), while at Orient & Occident the wives of the owner whip up Turkish home cooking. Fish lovers get their money's worth at Umar. Many people considered it to be the best fish restaurant in Vienna. Fish restaurants worth recommending include Fischviertel and Nautilus. Greek cuisine is served at Restaurant Iris.

Urbanek is actually a store for fine foods and cheeses, but also a legendary wine bar. Vienna doesn't get more typical than this. And the delicacies simply have to be tried! The Kilgers am Naschmarkt, too, is a wine bar and gourmet grocery store, while the little market kitchen also serves up great dishes. Typical Viennese cuisine is available at Eiserne Zeit; the restaurant is an experience in itself.

Many other premises have also opened in the immediate vicinity of the Naschmarkt. On the Rechte Wienzeile, right across from the Naschmarkt, is Café Amacord. Excellent Viennese cuisine in a cozy ambience is the order of the day here. Typical Viennese coffee house cuisine of high quality is served in the legendary Drechsler.

Market is a restaurant that never sleeps. The visually impressive restaurant with the colorful textile artworks on its walls offers fine cuisine from the coasts of Asia, from breakfast to the late-night snack. Equally worth seeing is ChinaBar an der Wien, where piquant Sichuan cuisine is served.

There's lots going on at the Naschmarkt, especially on Saturdays, also because of the weekly flea market. The colorful throng is worth seeing, even if you don't want to buy anything. Particularly pleasant is sitting outdoors on the Naschmarkt in summer, eating, drinking and watching people go about their business.
