Culture makes children hungry

Let's be honest. If you travel through Vienna with a child, you are not primarily looking for lunch in a great playroom with homemade cakes in Vienna Hernals (although it does actually exist: www.regenwetter.net). We parents come out of the museum or gallery visit with the now PISA-educated child and need something to eat, and straight away! If the blood sugar level falls, we know that this means red alert as far as children are concerned. 
Eating with children, who are past the crawling stage, means above all:

•    It has to be close and the service fast.
•    It must not be too crowded.
•    Guests and waiters should be patient.
•    If there are also play areas, crayons or child seats, then this is pure luxury!

Where to go, after a cultural visit?

In summer the choice is still easy. If you are near the Museumsquartier and Kunsthistorisches Museum, there are plenty of restaurants with outdoor seating areas to choose from. The children can move around outside and the grumbling (of child and parents) is limited. In winter, however, when the restaurants are bursting full, you have to be more creative.

Fortunately in Vienna there are also places that are suitable for children near the museums and galleries. For visitors to the Museumsquartier, for example, the Café Dschungel in the theatre of the same name is tempting for children. But also in the direction of the 7th district there are places that are fun for children. Less recommendable, however, are the restaurants in the museums, which usually offer rather average food and slow service.
