Nestled at Parkring 14, Donnersmarkt restaurant pays tribute to the extraordinary history of the building with The Thursday Markets.
This grand building was once the residence of the Donnersmarck family, who were pioneers in the region’s agricultural trade, bringing fresh produce from their northern Slovakian estate to local farmers' markets traditionally held on a Thursday. Today, their legacy lives on through the new culinary experience of Thursday Markets, which not only honors this rich heritage but also is the transition of "Donnersmarkt", now with Head Chef Albrecht Seltmann at the helm.

Did you know that the unused fresh bread from Öfferl Brot, which serves as the base for Donnersmarkt's iconic breakfasts, is repurposed to create the base of the sustainable and zero-waste Nokolade? This innovative dessert, available on Donnersmarkt's dinner menu, tastes just like chocolate – but there’s none in it!
Traditional chocolate production often contributes to environmental issues like deforestation and biodiversity loss, while cocoa farmers are often paid unethically low wages. By choosing sustainable alternatives like Nokolade, you can enjoy a chocolate-like experience without these harmful impacts.
