Food Vacation Day 4 Jazz Brunch@Schloß Wilhelminenberg

I love brunch (I mean, who doesn't?) and so for the final day (Day 4) we decided to have a Jazzbrunch @Schloß Wilhelminenberg, a Hotel that has a wonderful view over Vienna. The brunch is mainly for Hotel guests that are staying there but also "outsiders" love to have breakfast there, as I was told. Sometimes they have a Live Jazz Band there and luckily on this Sunday, where our Food Vacation came to an end (*sigh*), the Band was there too. 

 

The best thing about this Brunch was not the music (although it was great, of course) but the Chocolate Fountain! I ate so many fruits dipped in chocolate as I could. I still wanted to have enough room left for the rest of the grand breakfast buffett: chocolate mousse en masse, mini-cakes (yum!!), freshly cut fruit like pineapple and strawberries. Also the variety of salty dishes were great (see below the prosciutto!), but mostly we just ate the sweet stuff. Please see for yourself:

Food Vacation Day 3 Dinner: Tapas@M-Lounge

We are coming to an end (almost!) of our Food Vacation, here comes Day 3. Because we were really full from our restaurant visits on Day 1 (here and here) and Day 2 (here and here), we skipped Lunch on Day 3. To be honest, we didn't entirely skipped it, but we both shared a small Falafel Plate from Dr. Falafel ;) 

 

For Dinner on Day 3 we decided to try out a very interesting restaurant concept - M-Lounge is a bar but serves Tapas and has a great variety of them. I read on the internet and on their homepage that they serve special kind of Tapas (not the kind you would expect from a Spanish restaurant), but more the Fusion Tapas-type (kind of). We ordered a Japanese Radish Salad (hidden inside the salad were 2 cucumber Makis), a mini barbecue burger (and by mini I mean mini! They were tiny, but very cute and delicious.), Gyoza (also known as Chinese Dumplings/Jiaozi) with Chicken and Sesame, a small plate of Prawn-curry and the dessert - the absolute best dish ever - nougat mousse with a "cocaine" line made of powdered sugar. The dessert was named "Welcome to Hollywood". How appropriate.

Food Vacation Day 2 Dinner: Martini Goose@Figls

Sorry guys for the silence - I just got overwhelmed with work - terrible excuse, I know. And I just realized that I haven't finished blogging about the rest of the Food Vacation we had in NOVEMBER... It is already December and Day 2/3/4 are still "Drafts" in my Blog-storage...

And the worst part of this 2 weeks without posting anything - I totally missed the chance to write about Christmas Cookies or Christmas Markets! :( Boooh. Next year! (I am adding a post-it on my pile of "To-Do" Post-its.)

 

Well, my goal is to post the remaining meals of the Food Vacation before December 24th. So our second Day started with a huge breakfast at Weltcafe (Click here if you haven't read it yet.). If you think that was a great start, well, then you are absolutely right! But it got even better!

We drove up to Grinzing and went Figls, a restaurant that offers delicious Austrian dishes. We were lucky that we had a car that day because otherwise it can take quite a time to get up there (of course depending on where you are living exactly). But the food was definetly worth the trip.

We ordered a Goose soup as a starter, a Martini Goose with red cabbage and potatoe dumplings, onion beef roast with potatoes (sorry, no picture) and as a dessert - the highlight - we had chestnut purree with cherries and coffee.
