Gleis//garten Food Hall – Vienna’s Laid-Back Culinary Hotspot
Gleis//garten is a relatively new addition to Vienna’s evolving food scene, created to offer a mix of global street food and relaxed dining in 12th district. Designed with an industrial feel, the space features high ceilings, exposed metalwork, and a blend of wooden tables and modern décor. Inspired by similar food markets in cities like Berlin and London, it brings a more casual and social dining concept to Vienna, appealing to a everyone – younger crowd, students, workers and business people, families, kids, and foodies looking for a fresh alternative to traditional restaurants.

The name “Gleis//garten” (meaning “track garden”) reflects its location near Vienna’s train lines, and the concept is all about blending urban energy with laid-back dining. Food stalls are curated to provide a balance of international and local flavors, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Unlike a standard restaurant, you order at different vendors and bring your food to your seat—adding to the informal, communal feel.
Since its opening, Gleisgarten has become popular for after-work drinks, weekend meet-ups, and even casual date nights. The space is designed to adapt to all seasons. In the warmer months, the beer garden atmosphere makes it a top spot for outdoor dining. During winter, the indoor areas remain cozy and warm, providing a comfortable space to enjoy great food and drinks even when it’s cold outside. Regular events, from live DJ sets to themed food nights, keep things fresh and make it a place you’ll want to return to.
