From 2026, our blog posts will be exclusively vegan! This means: we emphasise vegan-friendly places and refreshment stops to actively support vegan activities and vegan leisure tips. Last weekend, on 27 January 2024 to be precise, we had the pleasure of taking part in a very special event in Linz: the Food Rally Linz by Gustanavi.
It was the second edition of this culinary adventure, but the first time for us. Together, as a group of three, we embarked on this flavourful journey. You can find out what it was like for us in this report.
We have also taken a few photos and reels for you.

A day full of flavour explosions
With up to 120 participants, the event was a real highlight for foodies and those who want to become one. On our culinary journey, we were able to savour samples from a total of 8 different restaurants. From savoury dishes to sweet temptations, everything was represented that makes a foodie's heart beat faster.
Diversity that inspires
We were particularly impressed by the variety of food on offer, especially as 6 of the 8 restaurants also offered vegan samples at our request - even though some of the restaurants hadn't even considered it - hats off to the really great restaurants, who made a great effort! It was a real paradise for us as a group, as there was a vegan among us! The participating restaurants included
- Jack The Ripperl: Known for classic dishes, they prepared something vegan especially for us. I really appreciate that - thank you very much for that!
- my indigo PromenadeWhere healthy bowls meet urban flair, here of course including vegan options and even a small gift and a voucher.
- Radius: A place that impresses with its pizzas. There are also vegan options on the menu.
- joyful: A really sweet and warm café with great furnishings (which you can simply buy)
- Beenie allday: Offers a vegan tasting. Unfortunately, and we have to be honest, the hostess was not very friendly and made no secret of the fact that she hates this day (presumably because of the crowds). Despite the delicious tasting, it just doesn't make for a good atmosphere.
- Cubus: Above the rooftops of Linz you will not only find a great view, but also culinary highlights. (no vegan option here)
- Café Many peopleA cosy meeting place for coffee and cake lovers. (no vegan option here)
- Johann's Bakery WinklerSweet and savoury baked goods that also delight vegans.
Price
A ticket for this unique culinary journey starts at €40. Given the variety and quality of the samples, this is a really fair price that made the experience unforgettable for us.
Drinks are not included - as we bought a drink everywhere we went, the price added up by the end of the day. Perhaps - and this is quite enough - free water at the tastings would be ideal. We would also like to see a small price included in the ticket.
The next event
For all those who couldn't make it this time: The Gustanavi Food Rally takes place every two months. The next event is already planned for 23 March 2024. An ideal opportunity to discover the culinary diversity of Linz and enjoy an unforgettable experience with friends or family.
An unforgettable experience
The Food Rally was more than just an event, it was an experience that we will remember for a long time to come. The opportunity to experience so many different flavours in one day and discover new favourite restaurants was simply brilliant.
Travelling by train: a sustainable choice
Thanks to our climate ticket, our decision to travel by train was not only an obvious one, but also a contribution to a more environmentally friendly participation in the Food Rally. If you would also like to travel by train, you can check the connection directly here:
PS: The Upper Austrian leisure ticket is cheaper since 2024! For € 19.90, up to 2 adults + 4 children can use public transport in Upper Austria for the whole day.
Conclusion: We'll be back!
We all agree: the Food Rally from Gustanavi is a must for anyone who wants to experience the culinary diversity of Linz. Whether vegan, vegetarian or meat lover - everyone gets their money's worth here.
