Vienna's 9th district excels at capturing the city's fresh and urban mood by housing a wide range of cultural activities and restaurants offering finest cuisine from all over the world. As many students call Alsergrund their home, new coffeeshops and bars pop up every month. Fortunately this welcoming place hasn't been flooded by tourists so far, so it clearly stands for the authentic and emerging Vienna while retaining its historical atmosphere.
The dazu hofladen sells regional foodstuff directly from the farmers and producers settled around Vienna. Their fresh-baked bread is overwhelming, especially combined with their vast selection of honey, jam, mustard or pastes. Their range of goods also includes fruits and vegetable, milk and dairy products. It's open on Fridays and Saturdays and definitely worth visiting.
