Orlando di Castello

Parisian chic in Vienna:
The Orlando di Castello (Freyung 1 in the first district) is a new hip place we all missed in Vienna. The simply stunning white and relaxed atmosphere was designed by well known Denis Kosutic. You can have breakfast, sweets,  imaginative main dishes, coffee, cocktails and much more. 
Recently there is also a bakery in the 19th district in the Obkirchgasse where the in-house French Patisseur Francois de Bol brings his own heavenly creations for sale. (The manager of the Orlando di Castello met him in New York and brought him immediately to Vienna.)

Meat Market feat. Clement Meyer

What a great night yesterday at MEAT MARKET at the „Badeschiff“ club (Donaukanallände between schwedenplatz and Urania, 1st district of Vienna)! A party which is almost a tradition in the Viennese gay scene - it takes place every first Saturday of the month. This time, MEAT MARKET featured Clement Meyer (Get the curse / Paris). They had all brought along their dancing shoes – the prettiest city boys and their friends. And dancing shoes were definitely needed to dance to the great electro sound and make new friends in the cargo hold of the ship, until 6 a.m. ...

I guess I can speak for all guests last night if I say I truly recommend the MEAT MARKET party series!

Van Veinsten

This small cafe, fashioned in the tradition of northern Italian espresso bars, really serves the best tramezzini in town!  
Situated on the romantic Franziskanerplatz nr. 3 in the 1st district of Vienna let you feel like you are sitting somewhere on a Piazza in Italy, but also inside with the deep burgundy leather couches, wooden benches and wine bottles stacked in racks is inviting even during the winter when most places seem drab. The audience consists of business people and hipsters and the stuff is always friendly. So check it out, you will love it!

Lanvin for H&M

Finally we can see all the clothes that Alber Elbaz designed for the “Lanvin for H&M” collection.
It will not be cheap, but I guess we'll see each other on the 23 of november at h&m "am Graben" (Spiegelgasse 1 in the 1st district).

Kaffee Alt Wien

In the Bäckerstrasse 9 in the 1st district of Vienna is a place that could be described as an institution of the Viennese coffee house culture: the Kaffee Alt Wien. 
Here you can spend an afternoon or evening between students, artists, tourists, regulars and one or another bizarre guest, in a smoky and melancholy Viennese atmosphere with dim lighting and walls lined with billboards. 
The Kaffee Alt Wien opens daily from 10am to 2pm and offers everything you could possibly expect from a traditional Viennese cuisine and with the sometimes grumpy, sometimes very polite waiters, you will get the typical Viennese coffee house flair.

le petit Paris in Vienna: le bol

The Cafe Le Bol on Neuer Markt 14, in the 1st district of Vienna, could also be in a side street of Paris: small, lively and tres tres nice. The staff with the typical parisian arrogance and the perfect french accent emphazise the authenticity. There is also the typical french "brasserie" menue with soups, baguettes, quiches, salads, and - last but not least - excellent sweet tartes. I prefer to have breakfast in the le bol, but it's also perfect for the evening with good and cheap wine. In addition to several small tables there is also a large table that is shared by the guests and sometimes leads to funny anecdotes or even friendships. It is always filled with a young hipster crowd, so you better reserve to be sure to avoid long waiting times.

Cafe Prückel

The cafe Prückel, located Stubenring 24 in the 1st district, was founded in 1903 and last renovated in the 50s. It is offering everything you wanna find in a cafe: 
A large smoking area, retro charme, international newspapers, good coffee (always with a free glass of water and a silver tray), good homemade food and a not very charming but very polite waiter. The audience is a mix of elderly people, tourists and young, hip, art students. 
There are also several art exhibitions and even a stage in the basement. And of course there is also the tinkling piano music in the background (Monday, Wednesday and Friday 19-22). So it is easy to understand why the cafe Prückel is one of my favorite cafes in Vienna.
