Vienna, Austria, was leading a trendy gastronomic culture, continues to discover its Michelin restaurants, and has become a gastronomic heaven.

Specifically, from March when spring officially comes, almost all the restaurants in Vienna have outdoor seating spaces called “Shanigarten.” Bienise’s daily life of enjoying his meals basking in the sun’s warmth contributes to the image of Vienna.

The Vienna Tourist Board has introduced Vienna’s distinctive culinary experiences that you can enjoy reasonably while relishing sunshine on an open-air roof terrace as a spring teaser.

They include Shanigarten, where you can experience Vienna cuisine al fresco, a “farm to table” vegan eatery aimed at healthy living and sustainable cuisine, and a three-star Michelin restaurant enhancing Vienna cuisine’s reputation through its lovely ambiance and innovative cuisine.

It comes along with a tremendous amount of Vienna gastronomic cultures and delectable restaurants worthy of visiting in Vienna in spring season.

The outdoor cafes running along Vienna’s streets and squares are not merely restaurants outdoors, but also a specialty that further adds to the beauty of the city. Soaking in the peace of a wine or the bitterness of cake and coffee in the warm sunshine, the outdoor cafe is Vienna’s everyday routine as well as Vienna tourists’ mandatory dish.

There are about 3500 open-air cafes in Vienna. The oldest official open-air cafe is believed to be a chair and table set down with permission in front of a restaurant in Graven in 1750.

Captioned the “Shani-Garten,” the alfresco space is officially created in plazas, parking spaces, and walkways alongside the restaurant from the month of March through the end of October. When the space is naturally segregated into gigantic pots, those that come and go on the roads eat at tables and lounge around, happily stating to be of a romantic urban scene.

Vienna’s representative Shanigarten includes restaurants Ulrich and Erich in the center of St Ulrich Square. You can enjoy good food and warm drinks in an emotional atmosphere, giving you the feeling of a small Mediterranean village.

You can enjoy light and simple Italian food in the warm restaurant Ilssesaten of Piaristenplatz.

Praterstra세e lies close to the city center and abounds with Shanigarten, and the shaded tables beneath the thick street trees are never empty.

Pigalle is famous for its stunning cafe Ansari that serves Georgian cuisine, Mochi that serves an excellent Japanese cuisine, and a cocktail bar that serves French-themed cocktails.

Vegan eateries for people that desire a healthy life are also found in Vienna in different ranges. Different dishes of vegan food made of seasonally grown vegetables that can be found growing in farms are a required gourmet dish when visiting Vienna that oozes warm spring vibes.

Vienna vegetarian culture has developed over time via restaurants and communities since its beginning in the 1870s. Currently, vegan restaurants where one can dine easily on the terrace with a nature-like ambiance are actively on the increase.

Particularly, Farm to Table is a culinary movement in which you can enjoy fresh produce from the mountains more intensely and freshly, and has become a culinary culture satisfying the beliefs of Biennes with locality, seasonality, and sustainability.

Tian, serving innovative vegetable cuisine based on Farm to Table, is a one-star Michelin Guide restaurant by star chef Paul Ivich.

It is the most famous vegan restaurant in the world, and has set the standard for Vienna vegan cuisine. Vegetables and fruits from Tian are organic crops that operate under fair trade principles, occasionally using rare types of ingredients.

Tian caters to a large proportion of seasonal vegetarian food that expresses the inherent taste without imitating the taste of meat, and even uses the roots, leaves, and vegetable and fruit shells for disposal of as little as possible.

Tian Bistro at Spitelberg provides relatively simple vegetarian dishes such as tartare prepared with mushrooms rather than beef on a wooden patio heated to a warm temperature.

The city’s initial upscale dining vegan yola is also to be mentioned. Jonathan Wittenbrink, the founder of Yola, worked together with Paul Eavich at Tian and gained experience by being the head chef at Tian Bistro.

If you need a casual vegan visit apart from high-end restaurants, The Lara is a great option. The two sisters, successful entrepreneurs in the vegan ice cream business, provide a series of creative bowls, salads, and snacks using California superfoods.

Vienna is the only gastronomic city in Austria with two three-Michelin-starred restaurants. Create the identity of the city through deeply rooted customs.

In the January-released Michelin Guide to Austria, Vienna again solidified its status as a gastronomic city with a total of 14 restaurants earning 22 stars. This indicates that Vienna’s gastronomy is evolving quickly in comparison to the past 10 restaurants earning 16 stars.

One of the newly inaugurated restaurants includes Dovec getting two stars, Hertzig, and the Latin American inspired Gisom getting one star.

Stairek at Staat Park has been ranked on number 22 among the 50 finest restaurants in the world and is one of the two Austrian restaurants to attain two Michelin stars.

It offers dishes utilized with application of rare herbs gathered from roof gardens, orange fruits grown at orangery of the Schönbrunn royal household, and regional vegetables.

Also, the restaurant’s building, which is well planned in a way that visitors are able to have sight of the park in all directions, is highly complemented in terms of aesthetics. The beautiful reflected trees are integrated with the sight of metal covering the outer wall of the building to give customers’ feeling as if they are eating while being seated in the middle of the woods.

If you want to get the simple and hearty food that Viennese enjoy, I recommend a list of Vienna bistros. The Vienna bistro is an old-school dining that has become the cornerstone of the Vienna gastronomic culture, otherwise known as the basel.

It boasts a wide bar, darkly varnished wood panelling, and a peaceful wood-finished interior. The kitchen generally serves traditional Vienna food, such as sliced pancakes or dumpling soup, schnitzel and side meat course, and desserts such as Gulash, Palachinka and Kaisersmaren.

Classic Vienna bistros are places like Steeman of the Otto Bauer family in Vienna’s 6th district and Levhun in the 9th, which have been a meeting spot for all ages for nearly 100 years. The Gulash is best enjoyed by the Croatian-run cafe Angengruber. It’s a three-day-made gulash with all your heart.

Another beautiful restaurant, Zoom Predense Ritcher, is famous for its specialty foods of schnitzel and tempura. Glacys Basle in MQ Museum District offers warm Vienna food in a sophisticated environment. During good weather, you can also sunbathe on the roof and enjoy a scenic meal amidst the beautiful garden.
