Colono Vienna
Spanish delicacies
I love Spanish food. In fact, I love every cuisine where it is traditional to order several small plates of different foods so I can try them all. But I don't like eating a huge meal and then drinking a glass of whatever alcohol with it. It just doesn’t sit well. I like to snack a bit the whole time.
I’m originally from Bosnia and there it is common to have some snacks (“meza”) while drinking. So naturally, Spanish tapas are perfect for me. I love the variety of it and the different taste sensations.
This place I like is a combination of a small bar and a shop. You can “only” buy Spanish products like olives, cheese and wine, or you can sit at a high table and order the mentioned tapas and something to drink. It's very cozy inside, and I can recommend trying literally everything there. Especially the large green olives – those are from another world. And I don't have to emphasize that the Spanish wines they offer are very good.
People usually come by after work since the 3rd district is full of national and international companies, so I recommend booking a table if there are more than two of you. If you are on your own or with one friend, the very friendly staff is going to find a way to seat you.
