Culinary Diversity on Mariahilfer Straße
Mariahilfer Straße in Vienna is one of the largest shopping streets and pedestrian zones in the whole of Austria. It goes without saying therefore, that there is more than enough space for great restaurants and eating establishments. Continuing on from our blog on the topic of culinary delights on the upper part of Mariahilfer Straße, we would now like to dedicate ourselves to lower Mariahilfer Straße. Because here, in culinary terms, there is a lot to discover, in particular in Neubau and Mariahilf.
Two ice salons on Mariahilfer Straße

Located almost opposite each other are two of the best ice salons in the city. In Vienna‘s 6th district, Mariahilf, the well-known “Eisgreissler”, while, on the other side of the street, which is actually in the city’s 7th district, Neubau, the Italian cult ice salon, “Paolo Bortolotti”. The Eisgreissler is famous well beyond the city borders for its organic ice-cream as well as for its interesting and unusual flavours.
In Bortolotti, on the other hand, you will discover the finest possible traditional Italian ice cream. But not only ice cream: from espresso to classic Italian cakes and pastries, such as profiteroles or tiramisu, this ice salon provides a taste of the “dolce vita” in the heart of Vienna.

Slowly but surely, Mexican food is gaining popularity also in Vienna. Tacos and wraps are particularly suitable as a quick and light snack. And this is precisely what you will discover in Max und Benito, where the dishes are also available to take away. The small establishment, however, is the perfect place to have a break while enjoying tortilla chips and a Fritz-kola. It is light as well as pretty and modern, furnished with great attention to detail.

Eating and drinking in MuseumsQuartier

The world-famous MuseumsQuartier is located at the very bottom of Mariahilfer Straße. In a previous blog, “Museums in Vienna” we already presented the highlights of this part of the city.
But the MQ – the abbreviation for the MuseumsQuartier – also offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of culinary delights. There are a number of highlights which are worth a particular mention, for example, the Café Leopold, where museum visitors as well as lovers of Asian food meet up in a tasteful atmosphere. We especially recommend the gyso dumplings and also the various bowls – with meat or vegetarian.
If you like to go out for breakfast, we recommend you pay a visit to die Halle in the MQ. Here you can choose from a range of different types of breakfast. Nobody leaves this restaurant hungry!
Those who love sweet dishes and coffee should try out the new café in Mumok. The small and, above all – as is only fitting for an establishment in a modern museum – stylish café offers all kinds of cakes and pastries as well as coffee house snacks such as bagels or soup.
One of the smaller restaurants in the MQ is the MQ Daily, which opens early and closes very late. In addition to breakfast, snacks and lunch menus, you can also have a great time here in the evening.
Highly recommendable is also the Corbaci with its solid food and its extensive menu. The interior, in particular, is well worth seeing – look up and you will be amazed by the wonderful ceiling.

From Sachertorte to Punschkrapfen (a classic Austrian pastry with a rum flavour, similar to the French petit four)., which are so popular in Vienna, and Puppenkrapfen (mini Krapfen) filled with apricot jam ‑ a veritable paradise for those with a sweet tooth!
