Vienna is very big in champagne, and the typical Viennese guys love to sit outside in the garden with a glass of champagne. Both of the Capsule bars are just perfect places for drinking champagne the way the Viennese do it! Also, the interior is quite striking, you can feel the exclusivity!

International By the Glass List 2022
The owner of the wine bar Pub Klemo opened up this place early 2017 together with the sommelier Markus Gould. The name Heunisch & Erben refers to Heunisch, a grape variety that is seldom grown today but is important as the ancestor of many traditional Central European grape varieties. At Heunisch & Erben you will both find a big bar area where you can walk in for a glass of wine and some snacks, and a separate dining room. The service is casual, and the food high-quality with great value for money.

International Best Short List of the Year 2022
One of the first bistros in Vienna, with top-notch food and an outstanding wine list. This place was actually the beginning of a new era of gastronomy in Vienna! Konstantin Filippou, the owner of O Boufés, as well as the two-Michelin starred restaurant next door, focuses on biodynamic and natural wines from Austria. Here you can drop by for a glass of wine in the bar, or (if you catch a table) have a nice dinner with friends and a bottle or two.

Best Medium-Sized List of the Year Austria, presented by Wieninger & Hajszan Neumann 2022
The first vegetarian restaurant in Europe with a Michelin star. High-end cuisine with perfect wine- and alcohol-free pairings. Head Chef Paul Ivic is also a wine freak, and he's always looking for new wines to perfectly match his vegetarian dishes. You will not even miss the meat or fish since each of the 8 courses is so intense in flavours. Andre Drechsel, the Head Sommelier, has created a wonderful wine list and the pairings are outstanding. You can also order an alcohol-free pairing, which is the best I ever tried. In the 7th district, there's also a bistro version of Tian: a nice casua...
