Spring awakening. Hopefully.

Maybe I'm a bit too early, but since the sun showed up for the last few days in Vienna I'm in a serious mood for spring. I can't wait to pack my warm scarves and jackets away and enjoy the weekends and evenings outside in one of the many beautiful gardens of Vienna's restaurants. One of my favourites is definitely the charming backyard of restaurant MILL in the 6th district. It is owned by a wonderful couple who I'm lucky to call friends and it has become a highlight in Vienna's gastronomy. Their cuisine is a mix of local and international food and the atmosphere is amazingly cosy. The interior is a mixture of shabby chic with an oriental twist and you will never get bored to find new funny details all around the place. From the stuffed fake lionhead next to the bar to the many many different old lamps spread around the restaurant and garden everything creates an incredible stage for great dinners amongst friends or a relaxing brunch on sundays. Actually that is what I am most looking forward as soon as their garden opens this year. There is no better way to start a sunday than with a brunch at Mill. Every Sunday from 11:00 to 16:00 they provide an amazing brunch buffet where everybody will find enough delicious food to be stuffed for the rest of the day. But you better make a reservation on time, because it is quite hard to get a table there on Sunday. So there is nothing more to say than: Hello Spring! Hello Mill!
