Vienna


Seizing its inspiration (and name) from France's Alpes-Maritimes region, this chic wine bar/bistro has tinted glass pendants lighting up its mosaic-floored, high-ceilinged interior. Owners Christina and Andreas have cherry-picked Vienna's best suppliers: top-quality ingredients shine in everything from salads and quiches to tartines (open-faced sandwiches) like organic chicken with roasted pistachios. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are available.
