Moriz closed in late 2024 — a casualty of the difficult Vienna hospitality market. The team behind it didn't stay gone. They've reopened at the same address on Äußere Mariahilfer Straße, in the 15th near Schwendermarkt, with the same commitment: 100% plant-based, entirely organic, regional sourcing. No compromise.
The menu is straightforward and honest. Croissants, cakes, pastries — the kind of baking that doesn't need to announce itself. A proper breakfast spread if you want to sit. The 15th is the right neighborhood for this. It's one of Vienna's genuinely multicultural districts, not a tourist zone. The pace is its own, the people are real, the Beisln don't smile at you but they remember what you ordered.
Why It Matters
Small independent food places in Vienna are fragile. When one goes under, it usually stays under. The fact that Moriz came back — same team, same standards, same location — is worth noticing. It says something about what the team believed in, and what the neighborhood believed in them.

Kapitel Zwei Wine — 10-winery Vienna pop-up, end of July
- When
- 25 July 2026 – 31 July 2026
Chris Sciacca spent 25 years in corporate communications in New York before pivoting to viticulture. He completed a degree at IMC Krems in 2024 and now runs Kapitel Zwei Wine, an organic microwinery in the Kremstal growing French varietals rare to Austria — Chenin Blanc, Roussanne, Sémillon — aged in 55-litre Italian amphora. He's previously organized two consecutive pop-up wine bars in Paris with 27 Austrian wineries; the Vienna edition brings the format home. This July, Kapitel Zwei is hosting a free 10-winery pop-up in Vienna. Exact date and venue are still being finalized — contact chris@kapitelzwei.wine for details before the event.
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.

- 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.
