Whatever your choice or preference, there’s no shortage of places for a sip and nosh in the city of Vienna. Over stays spanning a total of 100-plus days across 3 consecutive summers, the Austrian capital city provides plenty of opportunities to try something new.
I stayed in Vienna’s 2nd district in 2023, and in the 6th district in 2022, 2024, & 2025. I describe below food visits throughout the city, for all the tasty bits including Turkish Döner, falafel, finger sandwiches, Georgian breakfast, horsemeat rolls, ice cream, Nepali curry, pastries, raspberry torte, roast pork, Shakshuka for breakfast, Viennese veal schnitzel, and shwarma Syrian-style.
“Wer in Wien hungrig bleibt, ist überall verloren.”
(You’re a lost cause if you remain hungry in Vienna.)
I’m on a 4-week stint in Vienna in late-spring/early-summer. On a bright and early weekday morning, I go out of my way to Hannovermarkt (Hanover market) in the city’s 20th district. I only have one destination in mind: to try shawarma (Döner), done Syrian style.
