&flora at Hotel Gilbert
The &flora restaurant at Hotel Gilbert feels like a modern, light-filled greenhouse in the heart of the 7th arrondissement.

Magdas Hotel City
In the third district, you’ll sit on casual upcycled furniture and support a strong social dining concept at the same time. The buffet breaks away from the classic Viennese brunch, serving plenty of organic and Fairtrade products along with a wide selection of vegan and vegetarian options. You can enjoy homemade hummus, shakshuka, and crispy falafel, paired with fluffy pancakes and soft-boiled eggs. For around 40 euros, you’ll be happy to linger a bit longer here; the atmosphere is deeply relaxed throughout.
Thailanna x Mae Aurel
At the restaurant’s four locations, the aroma of toasted sesame and fresh cilantro hits you the moment you walk in. At the Sunday brunch at the Wood Hotel, you’ll be served a full spread of authentic Asian cuisine in an all-you-can-eat style right at your table. Order your way through fresh summer rolls, hearty curries, dim sum, and spicy pad Thai until you simply can’t eat another bite. The fun costs 39.90 euros and offers the perfect change of pace if traditional roast lamb is too boring for you.
Turm Restaurant/ Turm Café (Danube Tower)
At a height of 170 meters in the Danube Tower, the restaurant gently rotates on its own axis, offering a complete panoramic view of Vienna. The vibe exudes a light, charming retro charm from the 1960s. Culinary-wise, the menu stays down-to-earth: there’s breakfast, drinks, soups, and main courses like classic Easter ham, roast lamb, anda massive dessert buffet to finish. It’s just under 60 euros, and the otherwise quite pricey elevator ride is already included in the brunch price. A table reservation is required.
Zoku Rooftop Vienna
This rooftop right next to the Prater attracts a laid-back mix of international expats and Viennese locals. The atmosphere feels more like a large, lively living room than a classic restaurant. Here, Mediterranean cuisine takes center stage. For a brunch price of around 50 euros, you get a delicious buffet featuring brunch classics, seasonal specialties, and festive treats. Coffee and various juices are included in the price, making this spot a truly solid choice for the holiday.
Clementine at the Glashaus
If you don’t want to fight over the last piece of salmon at the buffet on the holiday, book a table at Palais Coburg. Under the large, elegant glass roof, the team serves exquisite breakfast creations, some directly on étagères in the center of the table. You can look forward to a lavish selection of appetizers and a salad bar, followed by Easter ham fresh from Berkel, smoked salmon terrine, truffle-infused ham rolls, and even vegan antipasti. For around 155 euros, you can enjoy an extremely elegant, upscale atmosphere far from the hustle and bustle of downtown.
Aurora Rooftop Bar
If you love Scandinavian design and open fire, head straight to the Belvedere at the Andaz Vienna. The bar offers laid-back DJ tunes and an expansive view over the Arsenal and the southern districts. The Easter brunch features seasonal highlights, freshly prepared delicacies, and a live cooking station, along with refreshing drinks on the menu. Prices start at 99 euros, which is absolutely fair for the quality offered and the amazing view.
Caffè Latte
The absolute neighborhood classic, whether in the 7th or 17th district. It’s usually loud, packed to the brim, and the vibe is consistently energetic and laid-back. The massive buffet offers everything you need for a massive Easter breakfast, from scrambled eggs to the legendary chocolate fountain. At 26 euros, this is the perfect spot for those on a tighter budget or if you’re showing up with a large group.
Gerstner at Palais Todesco
If you ’re looking for full-on Sisi vibes this Easter weekend , book a table right across from the State Opera House.

At the buffet , you’ll find delicate rolls, fresh oysters, and, of course, the legendary Viennese cakes from the in-house pastry shop. For just under 125 euros, you get the full traditional experience here, including unlimited Schlumberger sparkling wine.
Lusthaus
Right in the heart of the Prater stands this quintessential traditional spot, which visually resembles an imperial hunting lodge. For Easter, the kitchen serves up hearty Austrian classics: from Easter ham in bread dough to succulent roast lamb, nothing is missing here. The holiday menu costs 44.50 euros and delivers rock-solid quality without any frills. The biggest plus: you can start your obligatory post-meal stroll right outside the door in the fresh air.
Klee am Hanslteich
This spot in the 17th district is the top choice if you’re looking to soak up spring vibes right by the water during the holidays. Although the restaurant is a bit out of the way and doesn’t serve a traditional Easter brunch, the atmosphere by the pond and the wood-paneled architecture more than make up for it. You order à la carte; the dishes are cooked to perfection, and the wine list is remarkably well-curated for a brunch spot. Expect to pay around 45 euros per person for a very peaceful, nature-filled breakfast experience.
