Cafés, Restaurants, and Bars
Cafés
Café Berg
A fixed star in the sky of the Vienna scene: Café Berg, and the adjacent gay bookstore Löwenherz. Huge windows and comfortable seats invite you to enjoy your coffee for hours. “The Berg” also offers food. Incidentally, it was Vienna’s first gay and lesbian day café. www.cafe-berg.at
Café Savoy
The Café Savoy on the Naschmarkt is a traditional Viennese coffee house dating back to imperial times. There is a colorful flea market at the Naschmarkt on Saturdays, for which the Savoy opens early. An eye-catcher: the gigantic mirrors. www.savoy.at
Fett+Zucker
Opened in the summer of 2011, Fett+Zucker has become a permanent fixture on the scene. This small espresso bar in the second district offers outstanding cakes, with vegan, gluten-, and lactose-free options. www.fettundzucker.at
Restaurants
Motto
The Motto is perhaps the ultimate hotspot in Vienna, and features an outstanding menu. Everyone who is anyone meets for a drink in the stylized, but very comfortable bar. The clientele is mixed, and the percentage of prominent people high. Designer Helmut Lang was a waiter here before he became a fashion tsar. The Motto am Fluss on the Danube Canal and the hall in the MuseumsQuartier also belong to the “Motto empire". www.motto.at
Sixta
The restaurant on the Schönbrunnerstraße in the fifth district combines rustic charm with modern accents. In short: It’s very cozy in the Sixta. The menu offers everything that fans of Viennese cuisine desire. www.sixta-restaurant.at
Santo Spirito
Classical music, red silk, long opening hours, good food, and a mixed clientele: the Santo Spirito, in a small side street right near St. Stephen’s Cathedral, enjoys great popularity among gays and lesbians. www.santospirito.at
Café Willendorf
The legendary café in the gay and lesbian center of Vienna, the Türkis Rosa Lila Villa, is the heart of the gay and lesbian scene focused on the Naschmarkt. The picturesque courtyard is an oasis in the heart of the city. www.cafe-willendorf.at
Bars
Village Bar
The clientele in the Village is a colorful mix, and the mood is relaxed and communicative. The friendly waiters and the tasty drinks ensure that the bar in a side street near the Naschmarkt is very popular, and that the guests are just as sociable. www.village-bar.at
Felixx
Since its establishment in 2004, Felixx has been a fixed point on the Vienna scene. The bar, which is open daily in the lower Gumpendorferstraße in the sixth district, scores points with its grandiose ambiance and great music, from pop hits to house. www.felixx-bar.at
Kisss Bar Vienna
The bar serves not only drinks but also food: from carpaccio to Kasnudeln (Carinthian cheese pasta) and the Kisss burger, the menu is packed with all sorts of treats. An unusual feature of the bar is the "Art Corner" (Kunst Corner): a pop-up store which can be rented by artists. www.kisssbarvienna.at
City Bar
Right across from Vienna’s oldest gay club, the Why Not, the City Bar is the perfect starting point for a long night. www.citybar.at
