Useful information

During summer some restaurants are closed. Check the website or other sources if you want to visit a specific restaurant.
In most restaurants you pay before you leave. Call the waiter/waitress and say "Zahlen bitte". They will bring you the bill and take your cash. It is uncommon to leave the money on the table.
Not every restaurant accepts cards, have some cash ready.
Tipping is common in Vienna and often expected. Common tips range from rounding up to the next note to 10 %, depending on how satisfied you are.
Either on the menu or on a seperate information, the restaurant has information what common food allergens are contained in each meal.
