Vevi is Vienna's first fully plant-based Vietnamese restaurant. Everything on the menu is 100% vegan — soups, noodle dishes, rice plates, desserts — all rooted in genuine Vietnamese cooking techniques and flavour. The kitchen uses plant-based substitutes thoughtfully: seitan duck, konjac shrimp, soy protein, and more, but never as gimmick. The food reads as Vietnamese first, vegan second.
Vienna's Vietnamese Diaspora
Vienna's Vietnamese community is one of the city's oldest diaspora presences, with roots reaching back to the 1970s and 1980s. That history runs deep in the 6th and 7th districts especially — it's woven into the neighbourhoods' texture. But genuinely authentic Vietnamese cooking that is also entirely plant-based has been nearly impossible to find. Vevi closes that gap.
What to Order
The menu spans the full range of Vietnamese home cooking: phở and other soups, bánh mì-style sandwiches, vermicelli bowls, rice dishes. There are also gluten-free and macrobiotic options for those who need them. The kitchen takes the plant-based commitment seriously without apology — no "vegan version of X" framing, just Vietnamese food that happens to be entirely plant-based.

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.
