Eagle Bar Vienna 30<br />

Bars & Restaurants<br />

Another institution in the community is the<br />

„Eagle“. The bar is popular among locals and<br />

tourists alike. Everybody is welcome, not just<br />

leather and fetish, and the atmosphere ranges<br />

from relaxed to exciting.<br />

Sling 42<br />

The Sling offers lonely late-nighters the possibility<br />

to have a drink and get acquainted intimately<br />

with locals in the diverse rooms of this bar. It is<br />

modern, clean and very popular.<br />

The geographical and cultural setting of Vienna<br />

in the heart of Europe has left its traces on the<br />

Viennese Cuisine. What is commonly appreciated<br />

in the whole world is, in fact, a delicious<br />

melange of Austrian, Hungarian, Czech and other<br />

Central European specialties. We want to give<br />

you an overview where to savor these delicacies.<br />

nCafé Willendorf 21<br />

The heart of the gay and lesbian scene in Vienna<br />

is the so-called Rosa Lila Villa (Pink-Purple Villa).<br />

This gay and lesbian center on the Linke<br />

Wienzeile hosts one of the best-known queer<br />

restaurants in the city. The Café Willendorf, located<br />

on the ground floor, is a modern café-restaurant<br />

with a great kitchen, big portions, reasonable<br />

prices and an enchanting small garden in<br />

the courtyard. The clientele is mixed, although<br />

many lesbians especially favor Café Willendorf.<br />

Most visitors start their bar tour here at the<br />

“Villa”, which is the colloquial name of this<br />

building.<br />

Restaurants<br />

Café Standard 20<br />

This wheelchair accessible restaurant was<br />

opened by a group of lesbians. It should be<br />

mentioned particularly for the good food and<br />

pleasant music. The members of the women<br />

dance group “Resis.dance” have already made<br />

this restaurant their regular meeting place.<br />

Zum roten Elefanten 23<br />

“Good things come in little packages” best<br />

describes this café/restaurant. Inexpensive lunch<br />

menus and set two- or three-course dinners are<br />

available for a short lunch stopover or to still your<br />

hunger before starting an evening tour on the<br />

town. Its close proximity to downtown and the gay<br />

district as well as the Mariahilfer Strasse shopping<br />

area give you the opportunity to enjoy some<br />

coffee and homemade cakes or pastries in the<br />

afternoon to relax from sightseeing or an exhausting<br />

shopping spree.<br />

!Dunkelbunt 4<br />

The café/restaurant at the KunstHausWien —<br />

the Hundertwasser Museum which shows changing<br />

exhibitions — is one of the favorite places of<br />

the in-crowd — gay, lesbian or straight. The<br />

recent change in owners has given this unique<br />

restaurant a thorough facelift. What makes this<br />

place really special is the luscious decor of flowers<br />

and plants and the extravagantly uneven, yet<br />

cosy, Hundertwasser design. The whole place is<br />

a unique oasis just off the city center — a<br />

definite must-see.<br />
