Le Bol: A little slice of heaven in Vienna

Tucked into a side street in the Inner Stadt, this lovely and busy french bistro is a great place for brunch (Google Map).

I've tried unsuccessfully on several occasions to get a table around lunch-time, and its nearly impossible without a reservation. A constant stream of people make their way through the entrance only to be disappointed by a lack of seating.

Regardless of the tight seating, the cuisine is both gourmet and affordable. A light chicken salad with goat cheese, or a tasty portion of quiche should do the trick. This is also probably the only place in Vienna you'll enjoy free bread at your table!

And for Vienna, you won't find this kind of service very often. Waiters were both polite and patient, and spoke English/French/German all with ease.

I'll definitely be going back, but by reservation only.

Hey there! I definately agree, Le Bol is SUCH a lovely place and, so true, absolutely manic in there around lunch/afternoon times, especially in the summer when the weather's all gorgeous...
Just wanted to say hi to a fellow Vienna Blogger, and say your page is always a pleasure to read!
