3 Best Restaurants in District 7/Neubau, Vienna

If you're lucky, you can snag a table in the idyllic garden of this low-key pub, hidden away inside a delightful Biedermeyer cobbled courtyard. The staff is young, hip, and carefree, and will gladly serve you breakfast until 3 pm. Dinner is modern Viennese—with a handful of vegetarian options. Vines and ivy provide cover from the intense summer sun while walls of the passageway leading from the courtyard are lined floor to ceiling with concert placards. In winter, there's nothing cozier than to sit inside and sip the ginger apricot punch.

This locals’ favorite is known for its excellent Viennese cuisine and unmistakable ambience. Dark wood paneling and tables contrast with the bright white ceilings and fresh flowers for a modern tavern vibe. Your meal will be the same, traditional cooking with a contemporary touch, like the Kalbsrahmgulasch mit Butternockerl (creamy veal goulash with dumplings) or the Zwiebelrostbraten von der Beiried mit Braterdäpfel (fried sirloin with onions and roasted potatoes).

In the shadow of St. Ulrich’s church, Ulrich is a popular neighborhood place serving small plates, flatbreads, and homemade lemonade, plus evening cocktails. The convivial atmosphere and friendly vibes are always a treat.
