This place has retro-style coming out of its old, hairy ear holes. Inside this old Viennese hotel that’s been given a new lease on life by a creative bunch, is one of the coolest, well-kept secrets of Vienna, serving up coffee and breakfast from a quality kitchen. We’ve never had such a high opinion of eggs than when we gobbled up one of their many omelettes on the menu (vegan options included) under the low wood-panelled roof, tacky chandeliers, and vintage lamps of the brilliant Brillantengrund café.
The breakfast menu walks its own walk, with a variety of colourfully named omelettes on the menu (Bruce Lee or a Manalita), while the regular Vienna breakfast of rolls, ham and jam is there, and its Oriental equivalent named Mohammad (Pita bread, olives, feta, humus and tsatsiki).
However, if it’s something different you’re looking for, give the Unicorn cycling breakfast a go. Not only because it has the word ‘Unicorn’ in its name, but because it’s one of the most healthy, kick-ass breakfasts we’ve ever digested (bread from Wachau, cheese, oats, maple syrup, vitamin shot, banana, apple, chia seeds).
