The Beisl is a Viennese institution — unpretentious, neighborhood-rooted, the place where you show up without reservation and eat what they're serving. Das Drittl takes that form entirely seriously, and runs it vegetarian. The concept works because the kitchen doesn't treat the absence of meat as a constraint to apologize for. It's the premise.
The menu moves with the season. You'll find things like green asparagus on labneh, or vegan organic roast beef made from celeriac — the kind of technical work that earns attention without announcing itself. There are reliable favorites on rotation so regulars have something to count on. The wine list is curated, the cocktails are thoughtful, and the register is casual — this is not fine dining dressed as a Beisl.
Alsergrund (the 9th) has been shifting quietly for a few years. It's not the 7th, which everyone knows about. It's the neighborhood where you actually live, where the coffee is good and nobody's performing for Instagram. Das Drittl fits that texture perfectly.

Read the note →Altroché — Italian micro-bakery pop-up, Neustiftgasse, the 7th
- When
- 17 June 2026 – 31 July 2026
- Where
- 7th · Neubau
Francesco Fusaro, an Italian baker committed to sourdough and handcraft, has opened Altroché as a pop-up on Neustiftgasse 81 in the 7th. The range is proper Italian bakery: vegan cornetti, Bari-style focaccia, pizza slices, sourdough bread — all made on fermentation principles by one person. The 7th has no shortage of cafés, but a serious micro-bakery run on sourdough discipline is different. Fusaro plans a permanent Vienna location after the pop-up closes at the end of July. Open now through July 31.
Read the note →Sekki Pop-Up — The Leo Grand, Bauernmarkt, the 1st
- When
- 26 June 2026 – 31 August 2026
- Where
- 1st · Innere Stadt
Sekki is a three-month summer pop-up from Lucas 'Lucky' Shong and Jake Bergholtz, two of Vienna's most respected young chefs. They've taken over the evening service (Friday to Sunday, 6pm–midnight) at The Leo Grand's restaurant on Bauernmarkt 1 in the 1st district, running through the end of August. The menu is deliberately unpretentious — Kittseer sourdough, duck-butter, liver crème brûlée, Bergholtz's grandmother's apricot dumplings, Korean fried chicken — built from the network and experience both have accumulated across Vienna's best restaurants. The space itself is baroque and slightly kitschy; they're leaning into that rather than against it. It's the kind of kitchen that works best as a temporary thing, which is precisely why it's worth finding now.
