Food Scene
I'm focusing on food places that are relatively close to the apartment.
A classic Austrian place. Has been there since 1914. Pretty basic, not fancy, not elegant. 40 years ago all wine-bars and restaurants in Austria looked like this. Serves all kinds of standard Austrian food. http://www.sittl.at/
