It is located in the 1 ^st arrondissement on Vienna's most famous square, in a futuristic glass and metal gallery which, in its construction, unleashed the most antagonistic passions. The H & M and Zara signs are present, and at the top you will rise to offer a view of the capital around a glass.

This shopping mall is the first of two on Mariahilferstrasse, the main shopping street leading from the Westbahnhof station to the city centre, which is two kilometres long and offers a multitude of shops and has the good taste of being partly pedestrianised and shaded by tall trees. Famous international brands are lined up here and under the shopping gallery of the Générali Center you will find a large food court, fast food and fashion boutiques.

This boutique smells good honey. Indeed, all products come from Austrian flowers and bees and are turned into candles, royal jelly, honey, etc.

One of the many (34 in Vienna!) addresses of this gourmet Viennese coffee and confectionery chain founded in the Austrian capital by Felix Prousek (1918-2003). A happy and resilient alternative to other non-Austrian chains of much lower quality. Here, the cakes and pastries are delicious, the service efficient and the coffee inevitably excellent. It doesn't have the charm of an old Viennese bistro - the house has been modernized - but we appreciate the affordable prices of this Aïda in the city center, near the opera. Divine croissants and sachertorte .

Very, very original! This artisanal company gives confectionery a wonderfully poetic dimension. Flowers blossom into refined delicacies. Real petals and buds gathered from nature are crystallized in the Blüehendes Konfekt workshop to decorate and compose flower bonbons and flower chocolates so beautiful you hardly dare taste them. In the mouth, they melt and explode with flavor. There's no doubt that Michael Diewald is a unique confectioner and a bit of a magician. Tastings and workshops are regularly scheduled.

This small chain of organic bakeries is increasingly successful. It has six bakeries in Vienna.

3440 is the altitude of the establishment: it's the highest café in Austria! The view of the Pitztal glacier and the Wildspitze, the highest peak in North Tyrol (3,774 m), from the modern building, a kind of spacecraft lost among snow-capped peaks, is simply fabulous and well worth a visit! To get there, first take the Gletscherexpress funicular from Mittelberg, then a gondola lift offering spectacular mountain views. Make sure you bundle up: even in midsummer, it's cold up there!

Heumilch means "hay milk" and is the milk of cows that are fed mainly with hay in winter and fresh grass in summer.

The flower stalls of the florists add to its charm.

It is the temple of this ancestral Austrian gourmet speciality brand. The Manner flagship store offers a wide range of diverse Manner items, including the original Manner Neapolitan wafers and the many Manner pink items. The famous Manner confectionery is almost a collector's item, from filled wafers to Keksi Napoli dragees. Not really organic, very caloric, very regressive, even addictive, but when you like... There's a Manner section in every supermarket and grocery store in Vienna.

Did you know that? In Vienna, 27% of the agricultural area is organically farmed. Denn's Biomarkt is well represented in Vienna with about 15 shops and one supermarket.

Viennese organic enthusiasts can buy their supplies in these organic shops, but also at the Freyung organic farmers' market (Friday and Saturday) and at the Kutschkermarkt on Saturday. Denn's Biomarkt offers local fruit and vegetables, meat, cheese and bread, cleaning products and cosmetics - all, of course, bearing the organic label.

On the Lindengasse sidewalk, there is an excellent pastry shop, which is paired with the Vietnamese restaurant Sapa, which offers excellent dishes. The pastry chef is French, he is also an artist.

A very good address at the crossroads of France and Vietnam, Viennese version. Tart'a tata offers chocolate éclairs, lemon tart and other pastries from France.

In the former Jewish quarter, now one of the city's trendiest and friendliest, the Karmelitenmarkt, which has existed on the square of the same name since 1671, is constantly expanding its gastronomic offering.

There are also pizzas, hamburgers, an Austrian wine bar, a beisl for aperitifs... On certain Saturdays, the Slow Food Vienna association runs a stand at the market.

The number of ice cream parlors in the city center is impressive. It was the Italians who came to Vienna to treat the aristocracy to their ice cream. Since then, the ice cream cone has been democratized. Try several, and you'll rarely be disappointed. This one is very popular for its downtown terrace. There's often a queue, but you only have to pass by a few times to finally find a quiet moment. I particularly like the chocolate and yoghurt ice creams... There's a public bench right next to the ice cream. Also espressos... Italian.

A stand at Naschmarkt.

What would a mountain village be without a good cheese factory? A wide range of products made in Tyrol with local milk. Quality cheeses, tasty and well matured. Some of the cheeses offered are organic. Many varieties of cheese are available, from hard to soft, including pepper, truffle, alpine herbs, emmental and, for children, cow's head cheeses! Look for the cow on the roof!

It is the biggest, most famous, most touristic, if not the most authentic market. Some will prefer the small neighbourhood markets. That said, with nearly 120 stalls, you have plenty to stock up on! And for the pleasure of the eyes, the Naschmarkt is still a beautiful and colourful market. You will find a variety of stalls and tables, from the most Viennese to the most exotic, from India to Vietnam and southern Italy. At the entrance to the market, there is a well-stocked wine library.
