In Vienna kosher food is concentrated in Leopoldstadt, the 2nd district, and in the old centre around Judenplatz, so you can fit a kosher meal into a day of sightseeing without crossing the city. Here are four of the 14 kosher places we list, each with its address and supervision as shown in our listing. Note that some restaurants are closed on Friday and Shabbat. Plan Shabbat meals ahead and check hours before you head out.
