And because there are so many options, you can get a bit lost. So we selected the best vegetarian restaurants to help you quench your craving for a healthy snack or a hearty plant-based meal in the Austrian capital. Our top 7 vegetarian restaurants are so good, even die-hard-meat-lovers will enjoy them!
Hollerei
Our first choice is the cosy Hollerei, a vegetarian and vegan restaurant with an Asian and Mediterranean-inspired menu that changes weekly, using seasonal ingredients. The wooden interior gives a warm atmosphere to the restaurant and in summer, you can enjoy your meals in the beautiful garden. Besides the delicious food that will make you forget you’ve ever liked meat, Hollerei also offers vegetarian cooking classes, so that you can recreate the restaurant’s dishes at home. And there’s more; the Hollerei Gallery, just across the restaurant, shows “Emerging Art for Emerging Collectors”. You can purchase works from the selected artist as well as experience exclusive art dinners in the exhibition rooms. Hollerei restaurant and Gallery are located just outside the city centre, in the 15th district, easily reachable by public transportation.

Harvest Bistrot
The vegetarian bistro offers “slow food served quickly”. Located in front of the trendy Karmelitermarkt, Harvest Bistrot serves a very good breakfast until noon, and then, a buffet and a la carte menu with plenty of vegan options. With good weather, you can sit outside and enjoy the view of the cute Karmelitermarkt. The only downside is that on weekends, the restaurant closes at 6 pm.

Swing Kitchen
Pioneers in vegan cuisine in Austria, Charly Schillinger and his wife Irene opened the Swing Kitchen to bring delicious fast food that is not only vegan but also environmentally-friendly. The delicious burgers and wraps are mostly made with regional products and come served in bio-degradable ware. My daughter and friends love this small chain eaterie with an industrial design and cool swing music. There are Swing Kitchen restaurants in several locations in Vienna.
