First to the museum, then an excellent meal: artistic and culinary pleasures combine with maximum pleasure in Vienna's museums.
The Naturhistorisches Museum Viennaorganizes a culinary Wednesday in its magnificent domed hall and offers either a mussel or asparagus dinner, depending on the season.The breathtaking view across Vienna from the roof of the museum is best booked at the same time.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna invites you to a gourmet evening every Thursday with a multi-course dinner including museum visit. Here as well, the visitors dine in the imposing domed hall – a unique experience. Apart from these two themed evenings, the café-restaurant in both the Naturhistorisches Museum Vienna and the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna are, of course, open on a regular basis.
A visit to Schönbrunn Palace can also be combined with dinner. Depending on your choice, the "Evening in Schönbrunn" package includes a tour of the palace, dinner in the Café-Restaurant Residenz and a concert.
The Salonplafond restaurant in the MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna, is well worth a visit. With its imposing historic ceiling (to which the restaurant’s name refers) and many design elements such as furniture by Josef Frank and chairs by Oswald Haerdtl and Ernst Schwadron, the restaurant fits perfectly into the MAK.
Accommodated very nobly, namely in the same classical palace and Vienna's biggest exhibition house, the Albertina, is "Do & Co Albertina", which apart from ambitious cuisine offers a delightful sidewalk café with a view of the Burggarten.
After a visit to the Leopold Museum with its masterpieces of Austrian Modernism, including the world’s biggest Egon Schiele collection, the museum’s Café Leopold beckons with delights of Asian and Viennese cuisine.
From the Porcelain Museum of the Augarten Porcelain Manufactory, head straight to the Sperling restaurant for lunch, dinner or coffee. The museum restaurant offers great food in a pretty castle right in the middle of the Augarten.
