Simply amazing!!!!!!!!

This is the best veggie experience I had in Vienna! I tried 4 different veg places in 4 days, and this was the last one. I simply loved it.

I had dinner at Harvest yesterday with two non-vegetarian friends. We all had different dishes (the evening menu has a list of 5 or 6 small dishes and 5 or 6 main dishes), and we were all satisfied at the end. The beer was very good, and I cannot even describe how good the vegan tiramisu (called "tiramisoy") was...!!! Actually, I bought another slice to take away, this is certainly the best vegan tiramisu I ever ate.

A friend of mine got the panna cotta (called "manna cotta") and said it was also very good.

Simply put, this place is amazing. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is good, and it's also cheaper than other vegetarian restaurants in town: the tiramisoy is 3.90EUR, the main dishes are around 9EUR, and the (big) beer is 3.60EUR.

Super-recommended!!!!!

Pros: Amazing food, Nice atmosphere, The tiramisoy!!!

Atmospheric, with great food

We had dinner here and were almost the only diners, so it was peaceful.
There are lots of candles lit which made for a beautiful atmosphere.
The food was delicious and well done.
I had the lemongrass/ginger/coconut cream curry (€9.90) and my husband had the dhal (€8.80). Both very good.
Lunch prices are less.
The waiter we met was very friendly and spoke good English.
A good place for either lunch or dinner.

Pros: Delicious food, Lovely atmosphere, Friendly staff

Lovely atmosphere

I visited Harvest last year, during my summer holidays. It's a small cafe with a lovely atmosphere and nice people. I tried the tofu scramble and some of the sandwiches and i absolutely loved all of tchem.

Pros: food, location, atmosphere

Cons: the lights were a bit dim

Delicious

Great food, great location! The portions weren't enormous but the quality of the food and derive definitely made up for it. If you are in Vienna it is a must go.

Pros: Quality, Variety, Service

Cons: Price/portion

A chance to sample local-style dishes

This was very near to our hotel (Adagio) so we were able to stagger there for a late meal after a day's sightseeing. I phoned and made a reservation although I'm not sure it was necessary on a rainy weekday evening.

The staff were welcoming and there was a good choice of main courses. I had goulash plus dumplings preceded by the soup of the day which was sweet potato and ginger, I think. Everything was tasty and fresh, and it was nice to sample local-style cuisine in the goulash and dumplings (which were nice and light compared with British dumplings!). I would like to go back next visit and try the curries etc.

One thing to note, which isn't at all a criticism of this restaurant: a number of veg*n adaptations of local cuisine available in Viennese restaurants rely on TVP so if like me you get indigestion from that, order carefully.

Funky and Fun Vegan Bistro

This is a funky little vegan bistro. The woman who owns the restaurant, Viola, is warm, welcoming, and you can just tell the food is made with love. We had the buffet and the gnocchi was delicious, the tofu scramble was terrific, the sweet potatoes were yummy, and the vegan seafood stew great. It is a fun place and there are many vegan cakes to choose from. We had to take ours home since we were too stuffed to eat the cake there.

Pros: Friendly staff, Delicious Food , Funky and interesting

Pros: amazing food and cakes

Cons: no free tap water, they offer cow's milk for coffee

Great place

The owner was very friendly and the place invited you to stay and linger. It is all vegan and the food is tasty. I had the roasted dumplings with a big salad and as a dessert they even had traditional poppy seed cake (Mohntorte) - heaven! Also not expensive.

Pros: Great cake, Friendly staff, Not too expensive

Cons: None

It's worth it

The soup of the day which I took, artichokes soup with aloe vera, was as exceptional as gorgeous. Almost out-of-the-world-good, I ate it to the last drop.
Then I had a burger, served with nachos, which was pretty good.
The venue itself was clean and nice with a Viennese coffeehouse atmosphere and much space.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Definitely a recommendation!
I wouldn't call it inexpensive though, rather moderate.

Pros: much space, coffeehouse atmosphere, amazing soup

Poor breakfast on Saturdays.

We went here for having a breakfast on a Saturday morning. The breakfast menu was pretty poor and confusing because you can't identify what is offered for breakfast. (They didnt have clubsandwiches for breakfast.) A little portion of scrambled tofu for 7 € is pricy. We had some (dinkel) toasts as well, with some humus and some aditional chocolate cream (2,2 €). All in all: Nice location. Improvements needs to be done.

The Brunch on Sundays and public holiday would probably have been the better alternative.

Pros: Hey, its vegan!, Friendly Service

Cons: No Sandwiches for breakfast, Little Portions (scrambled tofu), pricy

Great food

Harvest was a pleasant restaurant to visit! Call ahead to reserve, just in case, because it can get busy. The inside was a bit dull and gloomy looking, but once the food arrived, the mood changed. The portions were very large, so don't overdo it, but if you're with a large group, try ordering a couple dishes to share, just to experience the diversity. The food was very light in the stomach (not too fatty and no food hangover). I shared some dishes with my parents; seitan doner, lentil salad, German curry with almond millet, and a chocolate and chili cake. Bring cash, because they don't take VISA. All in all, even though there were a couple tiny drawbacks, it was definitely worth it to visit, and I'd encourage anyone in Vienna to try out Harvest!

Pros: delicious food, large portions, food feels light in the stomach

Cons: dark inside, don't take VISA

especially good

Brilliant food here. My wife had the seitan kebab , well it was excellent and very tasty too.
I had tofu in some form, very small portion for some reason .
To get vegan tiramisu was a truly rare treat I must say, it was fantastic and was so more ish it was a delight. It was twice the size of my minute main course.
My wife had a nice dessert too, a crumble I think.
Why arent menus in English here?

Pros: vegan , tasty

Cons: expensive, no English menus

Veganes Lokal in ruhiger Lage

Short summary in english:
Great place with great atmosphere. At lunchtime a buffet is offered. In Summer on Weekends it is nice to sit outside at lovely karmeliter-plaza. All vegan. Brunch on sunday.

*********************************************************

Charmantes Lokal am hübschen Karmeliterplatz. Im Sommer stehen auch Sitz-Plätze draußen zur Verfügung.

Es gibt Frühstücksangebote, Mittagsmenü, Salate, selbstgemachte Mehlspeisen, Abendgericht und ein paar Gerichte à la carte.

Am Sonntag gibt es Brunch mit ausreichend veganem Angebot. War super lecker und die Auswahl mehr als ausreichend.

Generell werden so viel wie möglich Bio-, regionale- und Fairtrade Produkte verwendet.

Weitere Infos und Bilder hab ich auf meinem Blog (Link siehe Profil). Auch zu anderen veganen Lokalen (hauptsächlich Graz).

Enjoy!
Martina

Pros: Mo-So geöffnet, 100% vegan, gute Lage

Healthy, Relaxed Dining

We had two great meals at Harvest, buffet the first day for lunch and items from the menu the second day for dinner. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. I definitely recommend the energy balls for dessert. We also had the coffee cake which was excellent. It's a relaxed, quiet restaurant with very helpful service. We had researched Harvest in advance on Happy Cow and were really pleased we did. It saved us from more pasta meals!

Great atmosphere

My husband and I visited in an evening, where there is a menu plus specials rather than the buffet that takes place at lunchtime. There was quite a large selection available despite it being close to the end of serving time (22:00, though the venue stays open as a bar until later), and the owner detailed the specials in person. He was very friendly, asking about our holiday as well as checking the food was ok and talking about the history of the restaurant; overall it was a very welcoming atmosphere, with candles and music-themed decoration.

Between us we tried dumplings, goulash, chocolate cake and a sugar-free, raw cake , all of which were of a great quality, and portion sizes were good. But in my opinion best of all had to be both flavours of the homemade lemonade.

Two mains, two desserts and four drinks came to around 30 Euros, which I would say is normal for Vienna, and it's in a central location, close to two U-Bahn stations.

To summarise: good food, good atmosphere, good value for money.

Pros: quality, atmosphere, location

Hot tip: Breakfast/Brunch

I've been there a couple of times and it was always really nice :) They are absolutely friendly there and I also loved the high walls and decoration inside and the nice location.

It's a graet place to have breakfast/brunch as they have a wide choice of very delicious vegan meals!

Prices are still okay.. The only critical point is the small coffee, but that is just my opinion.

All thumps up :)

Pros: super delicious food, decoration, friendly staff

Awesome

We went there today and ate on the all you can eat buffet. It was awesome, the whole buffet and all cakes were vegan and everything was very very tasty.
If you have the chance to go there, do it! :)
But If you want to eat there on a weekend (saturday or sunday) make a reservation first because it may be very crowded.

Vegan dream:)

This place is absolutely fabulous. All vegan. And all delicious. The athmosphere is really nice.Super healthy and super tasty. Not too salty (for the soup and main dish) but with a great mix of spices and not too sweet (for the desert). Great food. Great and friendly staff. Small restaurant with nice athmosphere. Prices are ok ( less than 10 euros for main dish; around 3 euros for desert/soups/side dishes). This is a place where you can easily invite non-vegetarian and non-vegan people.

Refueling after a long walk through Vienna

A good place to refuel after a long walk through the streets of Vienna. That's what my wife and I did few days ago. It was beautiful Sunday October day, and this restaurant was great choice. We came almost at a closing time, but we get very warm welcome, and very warm supper as well. The place has a nice interior and a few nice tables and seats outside. Food is delicious and there are many choices. Beer is also good. But the best thing was french vegetable soup. Harvest is my honest recommendation for everyone who visits or lives in Vienna.
