Around St Martin's Day on 11 November it is goose season in Vienna. If you don't eat meat, you don't have to go without: more and more venues offer a Vegansl, the vegan version of the St Martin's goose, with all the trimmings. We have collected eight addresses.

Editorial team's pickCafé Frida on Yppenplatz

At Café Frida on Yppenplatz in Ottakring, the Vegansl comes on the plate with red cabbage and chestnuts, two dumplings and a hearty gravy. The café is right by the Brunnenmarkt, which makes it a good starting point for an evening in the neighbourhood (Grätzl).

Good to knowReserve early

Many venues offer Gansl and Vegansl for only a few weeks, and around 11 November tables go quickly. It is best to reserve a few days ahead and ask straight away whether the Vegansl is on the menu on your chosen day.
