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.
Owner Patrick Troger scored a coup with this Spanish Mecca. Paco Tapas serves a finest selection of Iberian wines and aromatic ham imported from the peninsula. The bar, which feels much more like a restaurant, is exquisitely furnished and it's exceptionally interesting to sit at the bar having a great view on the chefs' preparing the tapas not in a hidden kitchen but in front of the guests. Don't miss the wonderful Crema Catalana as dessert!
