Among the spots I visit in Vienna on a weekly basis, one place that stands out for me is the french boulangerie-pâtisserie Parémi.
In this blog post, I aim to delve into everything that makes this venue exceptional and why I believe it sets the standard in the boulangerie-pâtisserie scene, serving as a benchmark for anyone looking to establish or refine such a business in Austria’s capital.
Thus, if you’d like to enjoy a fine coffee, indulge in an delicious brunch, and unwind in a warm and inviting setting near the many tourist attractions in the Vienna city centre, I’d definitely encourage you to read on until the end and decide for yourself if it’s worth dropping by.
Where is Parémi in Vienna?
Situated in the heart of Vienna, a mere stone’s throw away from the iconic St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom), Parémi is a must-visit destination, particularly for enthusiasts of French brunch. Access is convenient, with Stephansplatz on U3 (orange line) or Schwedenplatz on U4 (green line) serving as the nearest metro stops. Alternatively, trams, buses, as well as ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt, offer reliable transportation options within the city.
When is the best time to Visit Parémi?
Parémi welcomes guests from 7:30 to 18:00, Tuesday through Saturday. For a serene brunch experience with fewer crowds and a vibrant ambiance, I recommend arriving before 11 am.
Do you need to reserve a table for Parémi?
While reservations aren’t accepted, a bit of patience is rewarded as everyone eventually secures a seat to relish in the culinary delights. Tables operate on a first-come, first-served basis, with waiting times typically ranging from 20 to 30 minutes on busier days. However, the experience is well worth the brief wait.
What’s the atmosphere like at Parémi?
In a few words? French and cosy. Honestly, this café has a really fine interior and a small nice terrace where you can enjoy your day outside in the summer or inside all year around. The staff is lovely, the food is scrumptious, the coffee is flowing and it gives a friendly atmosphere.
They succeed not only in offering a high-standard food experience, but also the design of the café, the atmosphere and politeness of their staff enable you to start the day off right.
What’s on the menu?
Parémi offers an extensive menu available all day, featuring French pastries, cakes, quiches, salads, sandwiches, and tartines to complement your coffee, hot chocolate, or other homemade beverages. There will be something for everyone including vegans and vegetarians. Whether you opt for classics or special selections, rest assured you’ll find satisfaction.
Additionally, Parémi also sells a range of macaron & ice cream flavours & chocolate as they own a Chocolaterie and Gelaterie just nearby the main café. These artisanal products can be also found and ordered online and for special occasions like Christmas, Easter, Valentines Day etc. you can always find special delicacies to enjoy with your loved ones.
The meticulous attention to detail and premium quality of products promise a unique culinary experience, with the menu and prices conveniently accessible on their website (www.paremi.at), facilitating takeaways for enjoyment anywhere.
How much is a coffee at Parémi?
Despite Vienna’s reputation for its café culture, prices at Parémi remain within the normal range, ensuring you enjoy quality fare without breaking the bank. You’ll find the pricing comparable to other establishments in Vienna and other major cities, offering excellent value for money.
My personal recommendations at Parémi?
My wife and I have made it a tradition to visit Parémi every Saturday for brunch. My go-to choices include Café au lait, Petit-déjeuner salé (a delightful fusion of classic breakfast with a French twist), homemade Granola (my longtime favorite), a refreshing fruit juice, and Pain au chocolat aux amandes.
I also encourage you to explore the seasonal menu. Currently, I highly recommend indulging in the Pistachio Croissant – a delicious treat for the taste buds.
