			Vienna’s best-known market has around 120 market stands and restaurants for a colorful culinary offering ranging from Viennese to Indian, from Vietnamese to Italian. The Naschmarkt has developed into a meeting point for young and old. The Flea Market on Saturday is already a cult event.
			On the Naschmarkt, a colorful crowd buys fruit, vegetables and various delicacies from every country from dawn till dusk. Increasing numbers of trendy "in" places are also finding somewhere to set up in the more than 120 market stands, and even offer free WLAN.
			Do-An (412) and Naschmarkt Deli (421-436) were gastronomic pioneers. They have succeeded in making the Naschmarkt an interesting place for a young, urban crowd. DJs also provide entertainment here on the weekend. Since then, numerous old market stands have become popular places to meet thanks to their modern architecture.
			Tewa (672) on the Naschmarkt offers organic cuisine, Neni(510) serves Israeli-Oriental specialties from shakshuka (eggs with vegetables) to taboulleh (Lebanses salad), while at Orient & Occident (671) the wives of the owner whip up Turkish home cooking. Fish lovers get their money's worth at Umar (38-39). For many people, it is considered the best fish restaurant in Vienna. Also recommended is the Fischvierterl (171-178), whose high quality has long been known by the Karmerlitermarkt.
			Apart from all the diverse market stalls, a visit to "Kim kocht. Shop and Studio" (28) comes highly recommended. Here, toque-winning cook Sohyi Kim, who runs her restaurant "Kim kocht" in the ninth district, sells home-made chutneys, sauces, soups, dressings as well as herbs and spices. In the new wine bar "Kim kocht. Wineclass" (47), the focus is on sparkling wines. In addition to sparkling wine and champagne and the seminars about them, small snacks are also served here.
			Many other premises have also opened in the immediate vicinity of the Naschmarkt. On the Rechte Wienzeile, right across from the Naschmarkt, is Café Amacord. Excellent Viennese cuisine in a cozy ambience is the order of the day here. On the opposite side, on the Linke Wienzeile, is Café Drechsler. Designed by star designer Terence Conran, it is open almost around the clock and considered a modern twist on the typical Vienna coffeehouse. Early in the morning, night-owls meet the sales staff from the Naschmarkt, who often have a quick coffee here before starting work. The Ristorante al Teatro offers Italian classics in the not-to-be-missed ambience of the architect Hermann Czech.
