Champa Restaurant Vienna

Flavours of home

Markus from Vienna

"The architecture is simple, light, and modern and allows the creative food and drinks to shine. Arguably one of the finest in Liesing, it still boasts very reasonable prices and ventures into the many flavors of Asia."

It's fresh, it's light, and has very friendly waiters: This lovely new restaurant is worth the trip to Atzgersdorf in the deep south of Vienna. The outstanding cuisine of tasty Cambodian and Vietnamese chefs heats any winter night. Working-class neighborhood Atzgersdorf as part of the 23. district of Liesing is swiftly being gentrified in recent years. Large parts of the former commercial and industrial zones are being turned into housing buildings, schools, and even parks.

The Cambodian restaurant opened within a huge new housing project and now sits in the center of the recreation area. The architecture is simple, light, and modern and allows the creative food and drinks to shine. Arguably one of the finest (and most decorated) in Liesing, it still boasts very reasonable prices and ventures into the many flavors of Asia. The nearby butcher Hödl provides excellent meat which is a substantial element of Cambodian cuisine. The local and fresh products are turned into beautifully arranged delicacies and the young and friendly squad of Asian hosts is really welcoming. Champa is a culinary highlight on any urban adventure to Vienna's scruffy south.

Why Vienna? Vienna is arguably one of the world's cultural capitals which a rich legacy and a vivid contemporary life. Born in Austria's second biggest city Graz and after moving and traveling quite extensively over the years, I truly came to love the unique sophistication of Vienna: Both cosmopolitan and homey. A romantic capital full of the arts and a romantic atmosphere...
