Innere Stadt
This spot offers generous portions of Austrian dishes with Middle Eastern influences like the Jerusalem plate and sabish. Try the popcorn falafel for a crispy texture and follow with halva ice cream or knafeh for dessert. Outdoor seating can be hit or miss on cleanliness, but the salmon and cocktails, particularly the Hugo, stand out.
