Danubiana, Weibel, and the American Bar

   
Yesterday we took the train to Bratislava, Slovakia. Our mission, to visit Danubiana, an art space located on the Danube, in the Slovakian country side, south of the Bratislava city center. Having no car, and not wanting to pay an arm and a leg for a cab we decided to bus it. The bus transfers and the hike through the rural Slovakian towns was an adventure not to be missed. Danubiana is a magnificent art museum not to be missed if in the area. The splendor and beauty of the location alone makes it a desirable journey for anyone.

Late that evening, back in Vienna, we decide it would be a nice treat to wine and dine ourselves a bit. Going on recommendation on eGullet, we decided to eat at Weibel. Their tasting menu was a splendid, delicate balance of Austrian tradition and refined sensibilities. After dinner we adjourned to the American Bar designed by Adolf Loos in 1908. The interior is intentionally deceiving. The use of mirriors gives the illusion that the small space is much larger that it actually is. When in Vienna, its a great place to unwind and indulge in world class cocktail.
