Where does your passion for food come from? My mom. What made you decide to start viennaeats? Three or four years ago, there were hardly any hyperlocal restaurant guides in Vienna, so I began posting pictures of what I was eating.
Over time it just snowballed. I think of my feed as a sort of food diary. The only difference between now and when I started is that I think more about every step of the processβabout angles, lighting, subject matter, best times to post, and so on.
What types of photos spur the most chatter? Overhead shots of gorgeous brunch spreads. Brunch is a new, fancy fad in Vienna, and people reference my feed for new spots to try. Klyo and Cafe Telegraph are the buzziest places right now. A post shared by viennaeats viennaeats on Oct 15, at am PDT. Bao, Chinese steamed buns, are having a moment.
So is Vietnamese food. Not so long ago, Vietnamese families would open Chinese restaurants, because people were only eating Chinese food. Old Quarter is the best of the bunch.

I was a Japanese major in college, and when I came back from studying abroad in Tokyo, I was so desperate for ramen that I once flew to Dusseldorf just to eat it.
Luckily ramen has since arrived in Vienna, and I enjoy it at least twice a month. Karma Ramen makes the best noodles in town. A post shared by viennaeats viennaeats on Jun 14, at am PDT. But there are a few exceptions, like Cafe Jelinek , just far enough off the beaten path. And not in the guidebooks. Their cakes are fabulous, too, like what your grandma would make on a Sunday afternoon. A post shared by viennaeats viennaeats on Mar 19, at am PDT.
