I am allergic to milk and lactose and everything which has lactose inside like f.e.butter. I asked a waitress to make a special sandwich for me for take away with only bread, salad leaf and ham. And I paid for it the whole price- 6 euros. Okay, I knew what I needed and I could paid for it. As I opened my lunch bag a couple of hours later and tasted the sandwich- I was shocked. I said that I am allergic to lactose, so instead of making a simple sandwich with three ingredients they decided to add butter (which was not the lactose free one, because a got a very quick reaction from my organism). As a result - I had to sit 4 hours in train with my allergy symptoms, hungry and sick. It is very unprofessional and rude to offer someone who cannot digest lactose sandwich with butter. You cannot even take it away like cheese. Either eat and suffer or stay hungry for 6 euros.
Besides this, the service in this bakery is awful! The girls are okay, but there is one waiter who is extremely rude..A couple of days ago I made another mistake by visiting this place one more (right now for sure the last time) time and sat outside ...This waiter came to me and I offered my favourite croissant that as usually was not there..I mean it was on the menu, but as always not in the bakery ( I have been there 6-7 times in different hours from early morning to 5 pm and it has only been once when I got the opportunity to try it). I asked the waiter about the croissant and instead of telling me politely that they do not have it unfortunatelly and recommending me something else, he just closed the place on the menu with his fingers (where the name of the croissant was written) as if I am disabled and do not understand him and said very rude that it is not his problem that the bakery does not have it. Also, I was speaking German to him and he always aswered in English, so I could guess that he is not from Austria.. Dear owners, we have so many young, good working and friendly Austrian students who are looking for a job and instead of giving them a chance you hire somebody who is neither capable of serving well nor of speaking the language of the country he is working in... To sum up, I am very disappointed with all this situation and have already told all my friends that Paremi has stopped being that nice place that we used to think of it at the...
Read moreWe have been visited this French cafe house since its opening. Since it is a French pastry cafe house - the pastry called Cannelé / Canelé which originally from Bordeaux shouldn’t be missed out. The caramelized crust on the outsides and soft custardy and beewax insides are the features for this small little pastry . Euro 3.30 for this one mouth would vanish pastry is a bit pricey. We were excited about how this small little pastry would fascinate us since people posted about it. The waitress served us all the drinks and other pastry first but the canele has to wait for another 5 minutes as they need to warm up. As we tasted the pastry, the outsides is warm but insides is cold. Once we finished the pastry , we asked how a canele should be tasted. As a foodie , when a food has two different temperatures - it will reduce the impression about the food. First , the outside is crunchy , sweet , caramelized and warm and once you bite insides - the texture is cold and soft. The waiter told us the Caneles are made in bulk and they stored/frozed in the refrigerator. Once the customers need it, they will take what’s necessary and warm up accordingly. As per our experience , we believe the pastry is frozed and thus insides is still cold and didn’t totally de-froze even they use microwave to warm up in time.
Once we arrived , a waitress cleaned the table. We noticed all food residue was directly swiped down the floor …. She didn’t use the wiping cloth to wrap the food residue… some minus point for the hygiene and ambiance…
Overall, we...
Read moreParémi is hands down one of the best bakeries and cafés I’ve visited in Vienna. From the moment you walk in, the smell of freshly baked bread and butter fills the air and makes you want to try everything. The interior is cozy yet elegant, with a chic French touch that makes you feel as if you’ve stepped into a boulangerie in Paris. They offer a fantastic selection of artisanal breads, croissants, pastries, tarts, and macarons – all freshly made and beautifully presented. The croissants are flaky and buttery, the baguettes have the perfect crust, and the desserts are rich but balanced in sweetness.
One thing to note is that Parémi is almost always busy. It’s clearly a favorite among both locals and tourists, especially in the mornings and weekends. If you’re planning to come for breakfast or brunch, I highly recommend making a reservation if possible. It saves you from waiting in line and guarantees you a table – especially if you’re with friends or family. Even for takeaway, be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours, but trust me, it’s worth it.
The staff are friendly, efficient, and happy to explain the different pastries or help with recommendations. The coffee is also excellent, which makes it a perfect spot to sit down for a slow morning or a quick break during sightseeing. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and craftsmanship of the baked goods.
Overall, Parémi is a must-visit in Vienna if you’re a fan of authentic French-style baking. Just remember: it’s busy for a reason, so plan ahead and...
