The Stuwerviertel – the triangular neighbourhood between Lassallestraße, Ausstellungsstraße and the Danube – is quickly fighting off its rough reputation of the past and becoming one of the next up-and-coming neighbourhoods in Vienna. The foodie scene alone here is worth checking out.
First of all, there’s the healthy bistro, Karma Food on Ausstellungsstraße which is serving up good vibes and pop art-looking food. Plus, they have a magnificent al fresco garden in which to enjoy their flavoursome dishes.
Then there’s the ‘younger’ take of a Viennese Beisl (a pub), Stuwer – we just love this place for how it blends old with young vibes.
Oh, and be sure to check out the Vorgartenmarkt area – there’s a Farmers’ market every Friday and Saturday, offering a solid range of fresh fruits, veggies, and meats. Meanwhile, during the week, there’s also permanent food stands stocking fresh produce, baked goods and other types of regionally-sourced goodies.
One of the best Ramen kitchens in Vienna, Mochi Ramenbar, is also located in the market, while the Neopolitana pizza at its resident pizzeria, Pizzeria Il Mercato, is bellísimo! (look at us using fancy Italian words)
