Altroché opened in June as a pop-up on Neustiftgasse in the 7th, and it's the kind of place that makes you reconsider what a bakery can be when someone actually cares about fermentation.
Francesco Fusaro came to Vienna with a commitment to sourdough and handcraft — the kind of baker who thinks about dough development the way other people think about relationships. The range is deliberately small: vegan cornetti, Bari-style focaccia, pizza slices, sourdough bread. Everything is made daily by one person. No industrial shortcuts, no pre-portioned dough from a supplier, no "artisanal" as a marketing word — just the actual work.
Why This Matters
The 7th district has enough cafés to fill a phone book. What it doesn't have is a micro-bakery run on sourdough discipline. The difference is real. A proper fermented cornetto takes time. Bari focaccia needs salt and oil and the right hydration. These are not things you rush.
Fusaro plans a permanent Vienna location after this pop-up closes at the end of July. For now, the pop-up is the place to see what he's building.
What to Expect
Vegan cornetti (genuinely good — not a compromise version). Focaccia. Pizza by the slice. Sourdough loaves. Prices are bakery prices — not cheap, not expensive, just honest.

- When
- 2 October 2026 – 24 January 2027
- Where
- 14th · Penzing
A multimedia exhibition on queer forms of remembrance, death, and transience at Queer Museum Vienna. The show explores how traditional mourning rituals often fail to reflect queer lived realities — how death can mean erasure or reinterpretation, how queer people are separated from chosen families and social contexts. Artists present mourning as collective experience and envision queer alternatives to funerals and burial sites. The work spans installation, video, performance, and film, with pieces on lesbian vampires, drag queens as undertakers, and the remembrance of destroyed autonomous spaces. Curated by barbara stöhr. Thu–Sun 2–6pm. Free entry.
