After Dinner Drinks at Vis-a-Vis Wine Bar, Vienna - Austria 2023 by ombiasy WineTours


Austria 2023 by ombiasy WineTours took place from Sunday, May 28 - Thursday, June 08, 2023. We toured Austria for 12 days, starting and ending in Vienna: Wien, Wagram, Carnuntum, Burgenland, Steiermark, Wachau, Kamptal, Kremstal, Traisental, Wien.  
After a wonderful evening at Plachutta in der Wollzeile
See: Wiener Schnitzel and Tafelspitz at Plachutta in der Wollzeile, Vienna. Plachutta is more than a Restaurant: it is a Vienna Institution - Austria 2023 by ombiasy WineTours
we walked back to our Hotel Mercure Wien Zentrum.
Four of us stopped at Vis-a-Vis Wine Bar, which is just oppositee of Restaurant Figlmüller, famous for its Wiener Schnitzel, for an after-dinner glass of wine. 
Vis-a-Vis offers over 300 wines, both domestic and international, with a strong emphasis on the former. It is also a good place to discover talented Austrian newcomers. 
The food served is Heurigen-style, with delicious little snacks and antipasti. If you want Wiener Schnitzel, you have to go to Figlmüller, vis a vis.

Fallstaff: Vis-a-Vis Weinbar: Eine Weinbar vom alten Schlag findet, wer von der Wollzeile Richung Lugeck abbiegt: Die Chefin ist mit Charme und Herzlichkeit ganz ­offensichtlich geborene Wirtin, im Glas schimmern ausgezeichnete Weine österreichischer Spitzenwinzer und Hirter vom Fass und in der Vitrine warten kleine Schmankerl. 

I blogged about Vis-a-Vis Wine Bar more than 10 years ago. See: Vis-a-Vis Wine Bar in Vienna, Austria.
