Point of SaleI hear of expatriats' pilgrimages,
having breakfast with baked beans there -
no word, though, if they offer a "Full English"

The Breakfast ClubTiny place, great breakfast menu,
all day long, Asian style being my favorite.

Gentlemen's ClubTable and chairs seem to belong
to the cigar store -
I see it as proof that the Viennese
will take any opportunity to catch
the breeze - note the Manic Botanic store
next door, you can shop and then drop
on one of their outdoor chairs!

*) "Powidl" is a plum butter,
made with fruit only, its sweetness
derives from long hours of slow cooking
very ripe plums.
Altösterreich:
"Austrian" does not really translate
the meaning of "AltÖsterreich" which refers
to the Austrian part of Austria-Hungary during
the years 1867 - 1918, also called
Cisleithania
(click on the word to find out more
at Wikipedia).

All these places
are within easy walking distance
of each other - I took the pictures
while I had gotten lost looking
for "Babette's"

That "vespa" seems to follow you ...
ReplyDeleteI'll have my breakfast at a table outside a typical Austrian place.
What does an Austrian breakfast look like ???

Such delicious choices! But baked beans? Ugh - surely England's least delightful culinary tradition. On the other hand, Babette's chocolate quince tartelette has me practically swooning :)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a Foodie blog for torturing the senses... :)

ReplyDeleteI, too, want to know what an Austrian breakfast might include.
ReplyDeleteThank you all! :-)
ReplyDeleteMarie-Noëlle & Vicki,
a typical Viennese breakfast?
I shall post about it in the not too far future!
Dorte,
yes, I found it! Again. ;-)
I had gotten off U4 at Kettenbrückengasse, not realizing Schleifmühlgasse is quite a walk from there. These small mishaps are a reminder that I am not a native! ;-)
The New Diplomat's Wife,
Wipplinger will follow a.s.a.p.! :-)
Went to Novelli's last night. One of those wonderbare Viennese evenings with summery air and a mild mild breeze.
