Cafe Gagarin – Cheap Eats #2

We love this place, not only for its sexy sloppy looks, but the ideals it stands for. Intentionally situated directly across from Austria’s national bank, Cafe Gagarin is a “political statement” against capitalist greed. Hence, their ‘pay as much as you want’ policy is based on the idea that you pay as much as you can. When answering the question “how much is okay to pay?” keep in mind what’s behind the food that’s made it on to your plate (rent, electricity, ingredients) and how keeping such places alive is damn important to a city’s soul. You can use the helpful price recommendation guide provided.
The menu changes daily with a soup of the day and a main dish, while everything is either vegan or vegetarian and made with organic produce. Its close proximity to both the main university and the Altes AKH university campus also makes it a favourite amongst students.

Cheap Eats we recommend: Any of the vegan or vegetarian dishes here are going to make a statement on your tastebuds.
