Brunching in Vienna!

For the last couple of months I wrote blog posts for Deutsch Akademie, I introduced a couple of my favorite restaurants in the city, and today I wanted to talk about a couple of brunch spots I liked. Well, only a couple because I have not been to many brunch places in the city, and I do not like going far away when I am hungover on Sunday morning.

Spot number 1: Figar!

Figar serves an amazing breakfast burger! There are a few of them in Vienna (one in the fourth district off Wiedner Hauptstrasse, one in the seventh district off Mariahilfestrasse, one by Donaukanal, and finally one by Donauinsel.) I have only been to the first two Figars, but they are all the same. They also serve as a bar and are open until late night. During the weekend, it is almost impossible to get a table without a reservation, but sometimes you can get lucky and get a couple spots by the bar. I feel like I should try a variety of menus, but I have only tried their breakfast burges… oops. But as I eyed all the plates getting served around me, I do not remember a single unappitizing dish.

Spot Number 2: Vollpension

I am sure all of my classmates and the teacher can speak for my love for Vollpension. Vollpension carries a theme of „eating at your grandma’s.“ The restaurant also gained its initial capital and investment for also carrying social responsibility of giving opportunities to old and retired to work once more. The cafe is owned by three Omas, and they bake everything there with what I am guessing are their own original recipies. I think I go there about twice a week for their irrisistable cakes! This place like Figar is also impossible to get a table on the weekends without reservation so make sure to call them beforehand. Also (assuming you will be there with someone else), their weekend brunch menu with three tiers of plates with homemade jam and scones is definitely a must-try.
