4Neni (Naschmarkt)
Vienna’s historic Naschmarkt today is an enormous and overpriced Middle-Eastern produce market targeting mainly tourists. Over time, some of the vendor stands have transformed into restaurants, such as Neni, which has since its 2009 opening expanded to half of the world, including Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam. I've yet to figure out what the hype is about. The breakfast dishes are decent – shakshuka, “Israeli breakfast” and so forth – but far from memorable, and the place is uncomfortably packed and overpriced.
To remain unbiased, I visit all places incognito and pay for my own meals and drinks. I rely in large part on readers to support my work. I'm grateful if you make a one-time payment (PayPal, Venmo, Revolut) or subscribe to my weekly newsletter in which I write about Budapest and Vienna.
