Champa
Modern Vietnamese cuisine meets local ingredients at this hidden gem out in Atzgersdorf, with fresh and aromatic dishes like “Lachs on Fire” and “Spicy Nectarine and Coriander Salad” telling compelling and flavorful stories. Owner Socheata Scheidel and Vannary Hour’s father emigrated from China to Kampot, Cambodia’s legendary pepper trading point, while their mother’s ancestors are from the Philippines and Phnom Penh, adding to their culinary influences.

Shakko
A cozy, yet upmarket, restaurant emanating mountain chic, Christian and Simone Schadl’s latest project brings a touch of Arlberg to Erdberg. Named after the former’s childhood moniker, Schakko builds upon the reputation for fine wine the Schadls built at the venerable Hospiz-Alm in St. Christoph, with an entire shrine of choice Bordeaux vintages taking center stage. The menu is classic Austrian with a twist, evoking the Alps along with the pine furniture and floral decor.

Trattoria Officina
A brief culinary escape to bella Italia must at the very least cover: amazing ingredients, homemade pasta fit for a real Nonna and a healthy dose of vino della casa to make the sun of southern Italy shine from within. The team behind Trattoria Officina offers all three, and is slowly evolving from an insider tip into a veritable hotspot for authentic Italian cuisine. If you yearn for the Mediterranean, you no longer have to pack your bags and set off on a trip down south.

Concept Eatery
Foodie Fridge
Automat-style restaurants are nothing new: in Holland, FEBO-branded windowed cells selling hot burgers and croquettes have been feeding tourists and locals-on-the-go for over a century. Which makes it all the more surprising that Foodie Fridge, Vienna’s very own 24-hour self-service restaurant, is such a novelty. Inspired by his own busy lifestyle, founder Alexander Billasch provides over 300 high-quality products inspired by Thai, Spanish, Italian and Austrian cuisine, all cooked, cooled and packaged sustainably and purchasable from one of the nine machines on location by pandemic-friendly, contactless payment. No service needed!
