REINWEIN — Restaurant in Vienna

Rather small place, and the customers were all neighborhood regulars when I visited, but don’t let that dissuade you.

We basically had a beer and a chat about various things and I tried out my cobbled together Slav / German which seemed to work. Narrow and cosy, with a fridge containing some local craft beers, not somewhere you'd make a special journey for but if you're in the area it's definitely...
