This restaurant is part of the Kunsthaus gallery, which
houses the unusual works of Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
The Hundertwasser style attracts the arty, bohemian
and tourist crowds and the restaurant is full of bright
primary colours, with undulating floors and vast displays
of wonderful fresh flowers. Viennese meat dishes like
Wienerschnitzel – this still is an extremely attractive
and fun place for a meal. The Midsummer Night’s
Dream-like garden is open during the summer. |

| Gulashmuseum |
Price:
€19. Wine: €8.40 (litre carafe). |
|
A tourist favourite, the Gulashmuseum has at least 15
different traditional versions of goulash is still an
attractive option for a meal. One does not go to this
restaurant for its decor, which is very much that of
an Austrian country Gasthaus, almost to the point of
a attractive kitsch. Goulash is served with beef, pork,
veal, chicken liver or vegetables, usually accompanied
by dark bread and boiled potatoes. |
