Erich, the brother of the café, Ulrich, located just around the corner, claims to serve up breakfast for individuals. This is due to the flexibility of the breakfast menu.

Rather than set menus, Erich encourages you to create your own breakfast combo’. From a vegan or egg base, you build your breakfast by adding extras like smoked salmon, mini sausages, bacon, mushrooms, chorizo or vegetarian options.

Some hail this as the place for THE best place in Vienna for breakfast all day long. We don’t know about that, but we will confirm that the breakfast here is something special. The in-house bakery provides a heavenly, homey smell in this place which blends classic Vienna with clean-cut modernity.

Here, a vast array of breakfast options can be feasted on. The breakfast packages are not that original, but they’re full of complex flavours – a result of the trained chefs at work on them.

Nestled amidst the exotic supermarkets and graffiti is “Das Augustin”, a breakfast haven of yumminess. The breakfast menu is simple but creative. It’s comprised of the classic ingredients in a Vienna breakfast: muesli, ham, and cheese, but all the breakfasts have their own original homemade twists.

Like the Scandinavian-inspired breakfast, made up of Norwegian salmon, goat cheese, and ruccola with a lemon dressing, for example. The more exotic breakfasts are Italian and Turkish inspired, or you can hop into some good old-fashioned pancakes. Everything is fresh, and all the breakfasts come as mini works of art.

Joseph Brot’s bistro on Landstraße offers a great breakfast and brunch menu that features a selection of fresh, original and visually delightful, organic, and regional creations.

You can also opt for a classic Semmel and Kipferl with butter and jam version, try your way through the bread and pastries on offer, or sip on some healthy drinks, or a cup of quality coffee.

Hotel Kempinski is one of those names you just know. Apparently, the hotel chain is the oldest luxury hotel group in Europe, but they sure keep up with today’s times with their wonderful breakfast.

The luxurious breakfast offers everything a breakfast-lovers hungry heart could desire. From eggs in any style you could wish for (including eggs benedict) to a spread including fish, meats, dried fruits, freshly squeezed fruit juices, breads, cheeses, more and more… and more.

When visiting Marks place for a meal, the genuinely familiar and friendly feeling of the place is instantly relaxing. The perfect tranquillizer prescribed for a Sunday morning breakfast.

The selections goes from a vegan breakfast boasting a pumpkin smoothie to a ‘Hangover’ (beans, eggs, bacon, etc.) or ‘Nordic special’ (salmon, bagel, etc.) each comprised of breakfast foods that fit their name.

Tea house Haas & Haas is one of the few remaining Viennese institutions which everybody who’s lived in the city long enough knows of. It’s difficult to choose between their many breakfast variations, however, we suggest you just close your eyes and point to a country on the map, and they’ll most probably have the traditional breakfast dish from that country on their menu.

While the hearty English breakfast is the most popular here, the Chinese breakfast stands out with its dumplings and noodles. And while coffee is, of course, on the menu, we highly suggest you order the tea that best accompanies your breakfast.

This place has fans aplenty, far and wide around the city. It’s especially good looking, with its modern take on a Viennese coffee-house, and the food is, quite simply, exquisite. Run by a couple hailing from Georgia and Lebanon, the menu lives somewhere in between Vienna and the Orient, with a little bit of Russia thrown in there.

Our three favourite breakfasts there are the Georgian breakfast that involves a very tasty, and very cheesy, Khachapuri, a ‘Variation von Blinis’ (a range of Blinis) served with sour cream, butter, caviar, salmon and other garnishes, and the “Orientalisches Frühstück “(the Oriental breakfast).
