Mocca Club Geschlossen (Closed)
August 11th, 2007 · 3 Comments
I received warning and, finally, confirmation that the wonderful coffee of Mocca Club will soon be gone. I have no idea of the reasons, as it seemed fairly popular, but I can confess to my lack of support. Despite the fact that the Mocca Club served the best coffee in Vienna, I just couldn’t make [...]

Thanksgiving Feast Shopping In Vienna
November 22nd, 2006 · 3 Comments
The answers to most of my earlier questions regarding Thanksgiving dinner shopping are a singular word: Naschmarkt. I saw fresh turkey, sage, sweet potatoes and plenty of other good stuff on offer. The prices were quite high (but still a bit less than Meinl), but, hey, it’s only once per year. But, in short, and [...]

Holiday Feast Fact Finding Mission
November 19th, 2006 · 3 Comments
Hello peeps! I am preparing for the US’s best holiday, Thanksgiving, and am hoping a few of my tens of readers who know Vienna really well could answer the following questions: Does a good butcher exist anywhere in this city who can provide a (hopefully organic) free-range fresh turkey? What is the German (Austrian/Viennese) word [...]

Our morning Cappuccos.
August 2nd, 2006 · Comments Off
Our morning Cappuccos. Originally uploaded by scottpartee. I love the standup espresso bars in Italy. They crank out coffee that is ten times better than the fussy cafes of Vienna, and it’s only about EUR 1.00 for a shot of espresso. This is the selection of the morning: cappuccino. Yummy.

Cafe Engländer

Cafe Engländer
Style/ethnicity: Wiener Cafe
Location:
Postgasse 2
WienA-1010
Austria
At first glance, this didn’t appear to be much of a locale. The menu was small and the initial look at the exterior revealed nothing special.
I picked up my menu and noticed a special coffee section that included “Austrian” or “Italian” coffee. That seemed like a good sign, so we went ahead and seated ourselves and awaited our waiter. Turns out the coffee was a false hope, but more on that in a moment.
We delighted in the fact that the cafe serves freshly-made soda zitrone, which is simply fresh lemon juice mixed with soda water but perfect for a very hot day.
We ordered an Italian bread salad with arugula and proscuitto and the “wok” salmon, which was served over a selection of braised julienne vegetables with basmati rice on the side. Both were excellent and especially good when one considers that this is a cafe and our total bill came out ot less than 25 EUR.
We finished with coffees. As usual, ithat’s a pretty big mistake here in Vienna if you care to drink good coffee. I ordered an Italian roast grosser brauner and my wife ordered a cappuccino. The coffee was ashtray nasty but served with flourish and style. It was slightly edible, so we drank it.
The service is friendly and efficient by Vienna standards. Even though our waiter never smiled, he brought Maple a bowl full of straweberries and cream.
