Amazing food

Some of the best noodles I've had outside of China. We didn't try the Austrian dishes, so can't say much about them. But the Kimchi noodle soup and the Taiwanese beef noodle soup were both amazing.

Pros: The food is great, Not too expensive

Cons: Not the most inviting atmosphere

Classic in Vienna

One of the first places in Vienna to offer a wide selection of vegan food.
The food options haven't changed that much and it still tastes good. But nothing super special.
The new location is a lot bigger and has a clean atmosphere. Staff are friendly.

Pros: Friendly owners and staff

Cons: No sensational taste

Definition of basic

It’s kind of a value question. The food is at best “ok,” so 12 euros for a small plate of mostly mushy cabbage (mind you, we’re in or near the cabbage center of the known universe) and a little mockmeat is pretty disappointing. If it were half the cost, then fine. If it consisted of a mix of nice, fresh vegetables then 12 euros would be fine.

Otherwise, nice and welcoming staff and they have bio naturtrüb beer (for 4 euros a bottle).

Klein aber Oho

Das Formosa ist eines meiner Lieblingslokale von Wien. Es befindet sich in einer Seitenstraße von der Mahü. Eines der neuen Sommerspecial ist die Taiwanesische Rindernudelsuppe. Ich kann die Suppe absolut jeden empfehlen. Die Zubereitung dauert etwas aber die Wartezeit war es wert. Die Portion ist riesig und war sehr schmackhaft. Gekostet hat es € 13,90

Serves Honey

Cute place, but not fully vegan. All the food and menu items are vegan, but they offer honey in drinks for an extra fee. Exploiting bees, even for an extra cost/money is not ethical or vegan. The staff is friendly and they make “duck” tacos out of Jack fruit I believe. They also sell some imported goods inside.

Cons: Offers honey

Not great meat alternatives but very nice staff

My partner and I didn't like the meat alternatives, they had a really funny farty taste and there were flies in my partner's dish but the staff were very nice and gave us more of our delicious starter (dumplings) and only charged us for half of her dish

Pros: Staff really nice, Delicious dumplings, Many options

Cons: Meat alternative not nice, Flies in food

Klein aber fein

Dieses kleine Bistro wird vielleicht durch die äußere Erscheinung unterschätzt, hat aber eine ausgezeichnete Küche zu bieten. Wir waren sehr begeistert von den Gerichten und dem irgendwie klischeehaften Ambiente.

Pros: Viele vegane Gerichte verschiedener Nationen, Freundliches Personal, Integrierter Shop mit TK-Ware

Cons: Etwas schmuddelig, Unfassbar kleine Sanitärräume

Tasteful Plantbased traditional food

I had a soy "Cordon Bleu". Very tasty! They have lots plantbased asian and austrian dishes. I like their various menu card! And it is freshly prepared. The fries are also homemade.

tasty 'meaty' dishes

this place offers some decent vegan options, especially if you're craving something ''meaty"😄they use loads of fake meats to create dishes such as cordon bleu or fried duck/chicken.

My Favorite in Vienna

I stayed in Vienna for 12 days and had the opportunity to go to a number of vegan places, and Formosa is by far my favorite. It's a super cute, small place with a tiny kitchen you can see into. I've been vegetarian for 13 years and the soy meat is my favorite I've ever had. The owner/server/cashier is a very kind, genuine person and I enjoyed interacting with him very much. Most of the vegan places I've been in Vienna have been pretty soulless and bougie but Formosa has heart!

Pros: great food, (try the soy meat), cozy welcoming atmosphere

Lovely food!

They changed the interior decoration of the place in the beginning of 2020 and it totally looks better! They also have a store and a frozen section for different goodies.

2017/11/16: Me and my partner tried the chestnut lamb slices with vegetables and rice, as well as the BBQ Duck with fresh veggies and rice. Both dishes were delicious and were accompanied by a lentil soup which had a very nice creamy consistency. Will come back for sure!

Pros: Decent prices , Friendly staff
