Bistro Narrisch opened on Garnisongasse 18 in the 9th — specialty coffee, vegan snacks, croissants, and plant-based Kleinigkeiten. It's the little sister of Bistro Deppat, which has been one of the 9th district's most reliable neighbourhood spots for years.
The name is Viennese dialect for 'crazy' or 'a bit mad' — which tells you something about the register. There's no pretence here. Just good coffee, good croissants, the kind of vegan options that don't apologize for themselves.
The 9th's Coffee Culture
The Alsergrund has always had a strong coffee scene — it's the kind of neighbourhood where people have routines, and those routines matter. A new opening here doesn't need to announce itself. It becomes a morning ritual within weeks if it's built on something real. The Deppat team knows what they're doing, and they're not trying to be anything other than what they are.
Garnisongasse runs quiet and residential — the sort of street you'd cycle through without noticing unless someone told you to stop. That's the neighbourhood's texture. Bistro Narrisch fits into it without trying to be a destination. It's a place to land in the morning, or to sit for longer than you planned.

- 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.
