A beautiful place to lunch! The play of light on the green fence is wonderful. And doesn't the Weiner Schnitzel look tempting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous situation for a Sunday lunch! Are the waitresses in "national costume"?
ReplyDeleteWe've only just eaten, but I think could make room for this feast of imagery.
ReplyDeleteAh:brilliant sunshine,colourful blooms,that fanastic and mouth-watering Schnitzel, all wrapped up and cheerfully presented. A feast for the eyes, and now I am hungry....
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such superb photography.
What a wonderful series of photos.. the colours.. the faces.. the textures.. perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am ready to return. Thank you for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteMerisi, it looks as if you had lots of sunshine in Vienna this weekend. How lovely all the photos of the vineyard lunch are.
ReplyDeleteYour way of capturing that certain light quality just lifts your photos. I love the picture of the lobelia against that yellow green leafy background I also love the close up of the veal cutlet with the fresh green salad in the background.
Thank you for sharing these delights with us.

Real Schnitzel -how I miss that sometimes here! And beautiful blue Lobelia -the perfect Sunday lunch, Merisi:)
ReplyDeleteGruss Gott Merisi,
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. Must get myself to Vienna. Beautiful.

Wine and veal. That would be nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, people and places... Thanks for sharing.. keep posting!!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful post, you are really showing us Vienna ♥ in all aspects, which is wonderful, I like to be amongst the locals.
ReplyDeleteWe love Weiner Schnitzel .. so delicious.
Oh, thank you all so much for your generous comments!
ReplyDeleteKurwenal, I ate that Schnitzel for you, I really did!
Usually, my favorite dish there is the Backhendl (for you U.S. Southerners, that is the Viennese version of fried chicken), I have never had any that was more delicious (I have stopped even trying it elsewhere, Brandl's can't be beat).
Frances,
I had planned to spend Sunday studying and was quite pleased that out of the blue I got whisked away to Brandl's. Imagine, you ride out to the vineyard areas in 15 minutes with streetcar 38, right from the center.
Loo the 500 euro bite size treat!
ReplyDeleteI could use quite a few of those..somewhat enlarged perhaps?
Do they come that way?
Oh I WISH I were dining alfresco with you! That schnitzel looks wunderbar!!!

Such a delicious looking lunch. And bite-sized chocolate treats are just right for something sweet!
ReplyDeleteLobelia are some of my favorites--they're so vibrant, and a really true blue in nature is so rare. Peonies--aaaaaaaah! Luscious!
ReplyDeletethe most appealing to me is the Red Gspritzter:) its hot and I am having a lunch break right now in fron of my office computer so you probably know why:)
