Organic brunch

Cafe der Provinz
Although many cafes, restaurants and bars in Vienna are still a favorite playground for smokers, here you can lean back and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea without disappearing behind plumes of smoke. This all-organic café is the perfect place for a relaxed Sunday (or Saturday) brunch. Sample the all-you-can-eat organic buffet for 10.90€, which also includes delicious buckwheat crepes (with or without sugar) and waffles, as well as a selection of (yeast-free) breads. Reserve ahead for weekend brunch.

Organic Vienna

Traditional Viennese food is hearty and will not only leave its mark in your memory, but also on your hips. To balance it all out, the Organic food section helps to satisfy your deepest inner organic cravings. Here you can browse health food store, restaurant and other healthy food listings.

Supermarkets/grocery stores


The "bio" craze has gripped Austria and organic food is found in abundant supply in practically every supermarket, even discount food stores now carry their own organic food labels.
Organic labels at the biggest supermarket chains include "Natur pur" by Spar and "Ja! Natürlich" by Billa and Merkur. Aside from fresh produce, meat and dairy products, also baked goods, sweets, drinks and frozen foods are available in "bio" quality. Now organic food items labelled as "Natur aktiv" can even be purchased at the discount supermarket chain Hofer.
And for those who want to take "bio" to the ultimate level, here is a list of specialized health food stores in Vienna:

Bio Bar von antun

This adorable little non-smoking restaurant is tucked away down in a small side street off Judenplatz in the first district. The food is fresh and well presented and the drinks menu reveals a nice selection of non-alcoholic fruit cocktails.
Reinvented traditional Austrian fare vies with ethnic dishes for diners' attention against the charming backdrop of this downtown restaurant. Prices are reasonable and the lunch specials with a soup/starter and an entree are a good value.
