Meierei Schönbrunn Vienna

Brunch like Sissi

Tina from Vienna

""Meierei Schönbrunn" in Vienna's famous palace gardens has a very particular vibe that takes me to another time & world. Come here if you're a Sissi fan!"

If you sometimes fantasize about being Sissi, this is the ideal spot in Vienna to make your dreams come true. Since basically every travel guides recommends visiting the premises of Schönbrunn, the summer residence of the aforementioned Austrian Empress, chances are high you’ll decide to explore the castle and the magnificent gardens yourself. You can get lost in there for hours, which may make you work up an appetite. This is where Meierei comes into play.

It’s a tiny building, painted in turquoise and beige colors and was built back in 1830. It offers a wide variety of local food and drinks (also vegetarian and vegan options). If it’s still warm enough colorful chairs and tables are spread out in the spacious outdoors. I then suggest getting a table in front of the building, which enables you to overlook the perfectly trimmed garden.

To give you a heads up: food and drinks, although of good quality, admittedly are a bit pricey. I still love to brunch there for the very peculiar atmosphere of its surroundings, which always make me feel set back into another time and world. If you are in the mood to be all Sissi, I suggest ordering the traditional sweet Austrian dish of Kaiserschmarren. Legend has it that it was invented especially for the marriage of Sissi and Franz Joseph in 1854.

I am passionate about painting, especially planets, and try to work on those skills whenever I have spare time. Experiencing new cities and cultures is also far up on my agenda. I usually do this by walking, as I believe it’s the best way to grasp the true vibes of places. Furthermore, I love writing, reading and...
