"Still dreaming of the zweibel rostbraten"

Review: Even though I used Happy Cow for years, I only recently joined, so I tried not to write any old reviews, but I just loved this place and wanted to add my comments. Two years ago, we went here 3 nights in a row for dinner and the same waitress recognized and served us. We tried the wiener schnitzel, cordon bleu (veganized for us), and a special as well as the zweibel rostbraten (multiple times!). I still dream of the zweibel rostbraten. Individually, the items were good, but putting the seitan, onions, and apple horseradish all on one forkful together was amazing. Dirk's parents are from Germany and if his mom could make this, maybe we'd visit more often! lol Basically, to us, Bio Bar reminded us of the type of food we grew up with (my parents are Finnish). The wine was good as well. :-)
 
Pros: zweibel rostbraten * friendly service * German/Austrian food
Cons: a little expensive, but hey, it's Vienna * *

Review: This little place is amazing - great food and great beer! We had lunch there which was soup, salad and these amazing rice burgers - very filling. We also had dinner there twice and they do a lot of traditional Austrian dishes made vegan using seitan and mock meats with sauces. They also have vegan cakes. The staff and really friendly and there's outdoor seating.

Review: We had a great lunch here on our one day in Vienna. We got the vegan lunch special, soup and soyburgers with potatoes for 7.70, which we thought was very reasonable. The place was relatively full with locals and tourists, with Leonard Cohen playing on the stereo. The food was very good, though it may been after a few days of traveling it was our first real meal.

They had an English and German menu. The waitress was great. It's in a great location, and whole experience was lovely. We would definitely go back.

 
Pros: Ambience * *

Review: This is a pretty decent place. A lot of the food was too oily for us, but it is native food so if you don't want to miss out on Austrian Cuisine come get the vegan version here. Desserts are really good, too. Bruschetta is great, too.
 
Pros: tons of vegan * vegan desserts * booze
Cons: oily * fried *

Review: Really nice and friendly place. The menu is a bit reminicent of veggie food from the 70s though. Good range of puddings, but overall it wasn't cheap.
 
Pros: friendly service * vegan puddings *
Cons: mains were very salty * bit dated menu *

Review: Very good restaurant, warm atmosphere, kind people and it is not an act. Food is excellent, served quickly, not expensive and quite some choice, also less cheap. Deserts are very good quality and I think the cakes are their own make. Sweet pumpkin pie, try it out!
It is almost a pity I don't drink alcohol because by the looks of it the Bio Wine must be Anton's hobby.
It can be crowded though, this time I went on a saturday evening at 20:30 and it was almost empty - timing ... :-)

 
Pros: quality * affordable * choice
Cons: My belly has capacity for only 1 deser * *

Review: We enjoyed our meal, the special of the day. It was full of solid filling things, which we liked. Judging by others complaints on Happy Cow, many people want the moon on a stick and would have moaned about this meal being too starchy or carb heavy.
 
Pros: filling * substantial * Tasty
Cons: heavy * dense * strong flavours

Review: Bio Bar offers a massive range of food and it took ages to work through the menu, specials and then to narrow down to a shortlist before ordering! The serving staff were really helpful and happy to explain anything that hadn't already been translated into English.
Everything we had was tasty, well made, fresh and well presented. The vegan savoury pancake with a creamy filling was a rare treat.
The puddings were amazing - vegan tiramisu and chocolate pudding. Never had vegan tiramisu before - recommend both!
We ate outside - nice tables under umbrellas in the square, inside decor was also really nice and funky. We ate late and the staff were relaxed about it.
It's not very cheap but this is good quality food in a good atmosphere with good staff - we felt it was good value for money.

 
Pros: mostly vegan * Quality * Value for money
Cons: Only got to eat there once! * *

Review: I went there with my boyfriend, and we both think that the food is delicious. Most of the menu is vegan, and they also have a pretty good selection of vegan cakes and desserts.
They use mostly organic vegetables and fruits, so I personally think that the price is reasonable - considering the location of the restaurant, in the middle of Vienna! You can get a meal consisting of soup, salad, entree, and dessert for about 10 euros, which is a pretty good deal!
What I didn't like was that my meal was very greasy, full of oil. But it was tasty, though.

 
Pros: Perfect Place for Vegan Tourists * Good selection of Vegan Food *
Cons: Too greasy! * *

I highly recommend this restaurant.

Review: We really enjoyed this restaurant. The menu is almost daunting with the variety. Too many great options! Plus organic beer. It is walking distance from the opera and other central areas, just off the Juden Platz (where the Jewish museum is). So find that on the map, and you'll get there. Large portions. After lunch check out the museum. Worth a visit.
 
Pros: location * diverse menu * organic beer
Cons: * *

Review: Besides falafel and pizza, not a whole lot of 'real' veg food in Vienna. This restuarant has some great faux meats. The friendly server was more than happy to translate the special menu (more than once). It's borderline gourmet, so it is more expensive than expected for some dishes. Make sure to have a map when trying to locate the restaurant.
 
Pros: excellent food * friendly staff *
Cons: expensive drinks * *

Review: Reallt great menu, fantastically helpful staff and some cheaper options available. We had coffee and cake instead than a full meal as our budget wouldn't permit it but everything looked fantastic. English menu available and nice outside area with fairy lights! Great vegan tiramisu and chocolate cake!
 
Pros: Great food * Lots of vegan choices * friendly staff
Cons: a touch on the expensive side * *

Review: There is a good range of food for vegans including excellent deserts. We went twice while in Vienna. We enjoyed vegan antipasti, fitness salad, vegan wiener schnitzel, various bruschetta, as well as lovely desserts - tiramisu, moronitorte and chocolate torte. All freshly prepared. Good portion size. Very tasty food. Good value for money. I recommend the Bio Bar.
 
Pros: Delicious Viennese Food, * Value for Money, * Friendly
Cons: Smokers - as always in Vienna * *

Review: before our trip to vienna, i took the time to print out a few adresses, and the bio bar was definitely a good choice. we shared a big plate of grilled things - various kinds of mock meat served with tasty, small potatoes; vegetables and a great salad. i didn't know about local beers so i asked the waitress/owner who was really friendly and helpful. the price was reasonable, we had nothing to complain about, i even felt a little sorry for the nice lady when a group of 15 people stormed in and ordered a million different drinks.
 
Pros: good food * nice lady * cute place
Cons: * *

Review: This was a great place to eat, extremely friendly staff (the mageress is vegan), extensive menu (most of which is vegan)and fresh food (some recipes were created by the manageress). I had a lovely 'steak' in red wine sauce and amazing tiramisu dessert, all of which was vegan. They have a lovely selection of organic wines and beers. The only downside was the price but it was actually well worth it for the gorgeous food and great service in a lovely atmosphere.
 
Pros: Friendly staff * Large menu * Lovely food
Cons: A little pricey * *
