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.

- 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.
