InA mini-chain of Serbian restaurants in Vienna is called Homolje Grill - named after a mountainous…read moreregion in Eastern Serbia. One of them is in my home district of Margareten. The Homolje on the Wiedner Hauptstraße has a take-out counter on the ground floor, an attractive dining area on the first floor, and a large Schanigarten outside in warmer weather. Of course one Serbian food that everyone knows in Vienna is cevapcici. As cevapcici are a favorite of kids and adults alike, it's often a quick meal for a family. I'm happy to report that the cevapcici from Homolje were very well made and had the right spicing to make them tasty. They were served with a fresh housemade Serbian Lepinja bread. A delicious Teleća čorba soup began the meal. All of this was at a very fair price. The service was only so so - not very attentive or friendly - but it was decent enough not to detract from the tasty food. When you feel like eating Serbian in Vienna, Homolje Grill is a good choice...

All things considered, this is a 4 star place. Homolje is a classical Serbian Grill/Restaurant…read moreserving a wide variety of grilled meats on a charcoal grill. Although I would generally rate the food as 3.5 stars on average, when I consider the fantastically affordable prices, I am confident that 4 star rating is well deserved. So here is the review: - Karadjordjeva schnitzel - think of Wienerschnitzel rolled up and stuffed with kaymak (kind of extra fatty cream cheese spread), served with fries. This is a big dish (I doubt that you'll be able to finish it) and probably the most expensive one on the menu costing the whopping EUR 12. Very good quality meat, juicy and tender - 4.5 stars! - Raznjici - pork skewers. The best equivalent for this dish is Greek souvlaki. This is a very good dish, you get a generous portion of two skewers and some salad on the side, for an amazing price of EUR 4.80! The meat is tender and juicy (due to strategically placed fatty pieces), - easily 4 stars. - Cevapcici (or cevapi) - kind of skinless sausages made with ground beef and pork. I had better (a lot better). For some reason, every time I had them there, they were over-seasoned (I am not sure, but I think that they put MSG in the mix). Although extremely big and filling, as well as really inexpensive, I wouldn't give them more than 3 stars. - Pljeskavica - Serbian burger. Made out of the same meat as cevepcici above, served in a home made, warm, and totally awesome Serbian pita/bun (lepinja), for only EUR 3.90! Ask them to put some kaymak on top of it and it will make it exponentially better. Excellent deal and with kaymak a 3.5 star dish. You can also chose fancier, stuffed (with kaymak or cheese), version of pljeskavica or the one with bacon bits and spicy pepper flakes in the mix. - Sopska salad - kind of Greek salad with grated white cheese on top. Better when tomatoes are in season and if properly seasoned a solid 4 star dish. Go check it out if you are in the neighborhood. Many other grilled meats are on the menu. Four people eat and drink for well below EUR 40.

Marengo is one of Vienna's Bosnian grill restaurants .... and personally I think it might be the best Bosnian grill restaurant in Vienna. (it is also attractive inside.)

(the Ćevapčići or ćevapi is also excellent and I highly recommend as well.) At home I added Serbian Ajvar sauce I had picked up at the Brunnenmarkt in addition to some serious hot sauce I had brought with me from Philadelphia, My friend said that this was the best sandwich he ever ate in Vienna.

The entrance is garnished with a massive sign reading "Balkanika" almost as if it's the unofficial street-sign to this unofficial street. The service was ok. One fellow (who I'd assume is the owner) was both taking orders behind the counter, cleaning tables and serving the food (it was rather crowded at lunch time). While the other fellow was studiously manning the grill. The food was top-notch. Being of Serbian origin I give it my stamp of approval. Chevapi, Kajmak, Onions, Rakija. Everything you could expect from Serbian food, even the prices are like Serbia. (3eur for 10-piece Chevapi!). The interior is large and spacious, with a rustic atmosphere that is authentically Balkan. If in Vienna and interested in Balkan/Serbian food, this is the place.

There are numerous museums including the Albertina showcasing Durer, Raphael, Rembrandt, Picasso, Klmt and others. The Augustinekirche (14th century Gothic), Schatzkammer Imperial Treasury, Lipizzaner riding school, Globenmuseum of cartography and the Nationalbibliotek and others. I'm reviewing the tour of the Imperial apartments, Imperial Silver Collection and the Sisi Museum which are in the Hofburg Palace and included in a one ticket price for Adults of 12.50 Euro. This tour comes with a free audio-guide in 13 different languages. I highly recommend the audio-guide which gives detail and perspective you would miss on a self tour. Admission with a guide is another option and costs 15.50 Euros and lasts about 55 minutes. There are other neighboring museum combinations with the Hofburg Palace Tour you might be interested in which include the Art/History Museum and the Schonbrunn Palace. The Imperial Apartments feature Franz Joseph & wife Elizabeth's private quarters, the Audience Hall of great magnificence, conference room for ministers and crown council, living room and bedroom of Elizabeth which are on the scale of the Hermitage and Versailles. The Rococo style, Bohemian crystal chandeliers and 17th/18th century tapestries augment the numerous salons. The furniture is 19th century Louis XV and Empire style. The Sisi Museum has numerous personal items owned by Elizabeth as well as famous portraits of Elizabeth. Her Hungarian Coronation dress is a highlight as is the black coat with egret feathers which she was laid out in after the assassination.. The Silver Collection holds 7,000 coins. It also includes the Vienna Court Silver Service and the "Grand Vermeil Service" which was a service for up to 140 people. The Milan Centerpiece is also a highlight. Interesting little nuances include the dinner menu. Anyone for veal lips or liver dumplings. The tour is accessible to the disabled with ramps, elevators, free wheel chairs and free entrance to aids for blind visitors. Seeing-eye dogs are also allowed. I attended a Mozart Concert in the Hofburg Palace which I enjoyed but others may not appreciate.
