Heuriger evening at Grinzing and other Vienna, Austria Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Grinzinger Reblaus

The restaurant was located at Grinzinger, a wine growing district on the outskirts of Vienna. It is very easy to reach using public transport, catch the metro train to Heiligenstadt and then catch the bus outside the station to Grinzing #38a. The trip is very easy , but ask the bus driver what time the return trips leave otherwise you may have a half hour wait. Your Weekly Transport Card is valid on both bus and train.

The restaurant had a fabulous atmosphere, wandering musicians,singing personally to you, and as the evening proceeded guests started to dance in the hallway. There was a broad selection of meals with many local dishes. The local wines were enjoyable.
My wife enjoyed the music so much she purchased their CD.

Favorite Dish: I had a most enjoyable local snitchel followed by traditional strudal.

Restaurant Name: Demel

We had heard so much about the famous Vienna pastries and cakes we were determined to try all the famous cafes, however we were so absorbed in sightseeing that it was a few days before we accidently came accross Demel as we were walking along the popular Kohlmarkt.We tried to get an alfresco table but after waiting unsuccessfully for some time I decided we would look for a table inside the cafe. Inside was as busy as outside , however as we progressed further inside we found a table in the back room. This turned into being better than being alfresco as the atmosphere was fantastic and we had the unexpected bonus of our table being next to an internal glass wall where we could see Demel's expert cake decorators at work. They also had some of the finished birthday and wedding cakes on display.
When our order arrived the Vanillecremeschn and Oberscremeschn looked fantastic and tasted equally as good. We sat there for a considerable time as it was a good place to people watch in a very relaxing atmosphere.

Our cakes cost Euro 3.45 each and each pot of tea was approx Euro 4.
