Quick bite to eat near the Volksoper in Vienna?
 
My husband and I will be attending an 7:00 opera starting at the Volksoper in Vienna. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a quick bite to eat before the performance? We probably won't be in the mood for a full on dinner - maybe a quick bite - salad or sandwich- at a cafe or the like. Any suggestions? BTW, my husband is "mostly" a vegetarian - meaning, he'll eat fish. Many thanks.

You have various choices.

The Oper Cafe is just across the street from the entrance to the Volksoper.
Obviously convenient - limited menu -accustomed to oper goers and they can serve quickly.
This an alternative place for a drink at the intermission too.

Just down the street ( Wahringerstrasse at #68 ) is Cafe Weimar.
Traditional Vienna Cafe - some vegetarian dishes-
fine atmosphere and food - pastries- salads - soups etc.
Also good after the performance with piano music then.
A favorite place for many performers from the Volksoper.

Kim Kocht - close to the Volksoper and stage door.
Small restaurnt - well regarded by some - would not recommend as this place requires hours to dine and I find it overpriced, overcrowded and some arrogant service at times.

Well, I'm back home and did end up eating dinner at Cafe Weimar. It was very nice - the service delightful, the ambience pleasant and the food very good. Thanks for the tip :)
