This place is known for the original veal Wiener schnitzel. It's also offered in turkey, pork and…read morechicken. We got the pork version with rice as a side dish since side dishes were not included. The schnitzels were two flat pieces and lightly seasoned and perfectly fried giving you a crispiness with every bite. I really enjoyed this dish. I've been having schnitzels throughout this trip and this was my favorite out of all especially when they offer rice. It's rare to see a place offer rice and that's a fact throughout Europe.

Stopped by this spot on a backpacking trip through Europe. It is just down the street from Wombats…read moreHostel, so it is an ideal location for any backpacker. For Austria, the prices were fairly reasonable. The menu, printed in English and German, was loaded with traditional Viennese fare. At first I was going to go with the standard goulash, but then I spied gnocchi in tomato sauce and I was done perusing the rather substantial menu. (I know, I know, Sacrilege ordering Italian in Austria, but hey the stomach wants what the stomach wants). The gnocchi was surprising diversion from the many servings of goulash and sacherwurstel I had had on my trip, All I good think of as I took a bit of my creamy gnocchi was that some one had kidnapped an Italian chief and chained him to the stove...I hope they give him time off for good behavior but not before I have my next visit..yum The Beer is, of course, with a wide selection. This place has a nice mix of locals and tourist so it should fit the needs of just about anyone. Service wasn't horrible, but it was a little slow even by European standards; this might have been because most of customers were sitting outside and I had taken a seat inside. The bar was really cool and I wanted to take in the decor, otherwise, I would have taken a table outside. This is a great pub, and I only wish that I had the time to stop in for a drink later in the evening.

Having your breakfast/brunch at Franz is such a great way to start your day!…read moreOn the weekend, they propose a breakfast all-you-can-eat that will make your stomach sooo happy! There isn't as much choice as in some brunch-buffets in Vienna, but it is very appetizing and tasty, and for a very fair price too! (10,90€) If you go for the breakfast formula, you'll be able to choose on a list what you wish to have for breakfast, and cross in front of it. Good news: you can fill as many lists as you want, and order over and over again! (except for the fresh fruit juice: it's only one per person). You can get muesli or fruits in yogurt, different sorts of breads, cheese, marmalade, butter, honey, and lots of eggs meals freshly cooked! and as much hot drinks (teas or coffees) as you want. They also have a regular menu that sounds very good, in a true Austrian tradition! All in all, a very nice Austrian Beisl where you will be sure to spend a relaxed and tasty moment!

TL;DR - Great bar, great food and helpful staff…read more We had our first meal in Vienna here and were glad we did. It was close to our hotel and we took the crowd of people outside as a good sign. There's a smoking room which meant we could enjoy our meal without being bothered by smoke. Our waitress was really friendly and helpful and the second she realised we were English she produced English menus and began talking us through all the options. I went for Wiener Schnitzel, Sparky went for Goulash which - on her recommendation - came "Viennese style" with the dumplings cut into slices and with a side of sausage and a fried egg. We each had a pint of weißbier to round things off. Great beer, great food and a great atmosphere with helpful staff.

Well, let me say right off the bat that the food and the service get 5 stars... so why only 4 stars…read morethen... well, when it comes to a place as expensive as this (€€€ is closer to reality), I get a little nit-picky. A few errors in execution led to the lost star. I was not super hungry, and ordered bruschetta, and a starter portion of beef tartare (my first - I had had tuna tartare before). Delicious, pretty plates, relatively mild, not in-your-face flavors. --- Bruschetta was very pleasant! Usually, the bruschettas I get end up being a little bit acidic (from balsamic, tomatoes, etc). Here I was pleasantly surprised - the balsamic dressing, the salad, and tomatoes were a little on the sweet side, the lack of strong acid was very pleasant! The side salad was also a very nice touch. I would have liked a few improvements though. First, while they claim there is garlic, I didn't really taste it too much, other spices on the actual bread would be nice too (basil perhaps?). Second, while I liked that there were thinly sliced red onions, I would have preferred if they were more evenly distributed; one bread had one circle, another had more than five. Third, I would have liked the bread just a hair more toasty. --- As for the beef tartare, I didn't really know what to expect... I know what tuna tartare tastes like, but raw beef would be a unique experience definitely. It tasted similar to tuna tartare, both flavor and consistency-wise. There were slight differences, obviously, but I didn't feel like I was eating raw meat. I am sure there is some sauce that goes into tartare, but I would have preferred just a touch more. of it. Salad was the same kind that came with the bruschetta, only the leaves of it were not cut up at all. I understand that a restaurant shouldn't cut it into tiny shreds, but these leaves were too big. It looked pretty, but when it came to eating was a different story. Another "execution error" is that the tartare came with these little green things I have never in my life seen before. In them, the stem is not edible. They removed the stems from some, but forgot - or didn't finish removing it from others (I saw a crease on one as if knife was there, but didn't finish the job) Toast that came with it was perfectly toasted, and actually a very nice touch. P.S. Those little wedges that look like cheese aren't cheese, they are butter! --- Service was excellent. Extremely attentive, and not overly so. They were striving to make sure I, as the customer, was satisfied. For instance, when I was sitting there without a plate in front of me, they made sure someone had taken my order, and that I was all set. At one point I mentioned I was just waiting for my tartare... they went to the kitchen to see what was going on. The dish came out very soon after... Perhaps this is why there were a couple issues... they realized they had forgotten about me, and rushed it in getting the dish finished.

I cannot believe this place gets good reviews. 1. The food…read morewas too salty 2. My coucous was like one big ice hockey puck, you would not be able to tell the grains apart. Its quite obvious it was overcooked, and already it was replacing the quinoa that the plate should originally be served on. When asked how my food was as the waiter took the plate I told them about the couscous and I was completely brushed off, similar to when someone asks how you are doing but don't care to hear the answer or just not listening. 3. The soap in the bathroom is a nice theory, that one should grind down the soap. However the systems just doesn't work, not on the men's or women's (I asked my friend). You stand there for hours trying to grind the thing down, like so many before you, and nothing really comes out. 4. The thing that really upset me is that when they brought out the creme brulee, it was obvious it was sitting in the fridge for more than a day (it had condensed down, and the sugar "crust" was completely soft. When I asked them about it, instead of apologizing, they became aggressive and told me that one cannot expect restaurants to make the food fresh each day. REALLY? I mean, if I want to eat left overs, I can go home and eat what I made fresh yesterday too. Obviously they have a very different understanding of what a restaurant should be, but expecting fresh food to be served should not be in question. Why not make my steak the day before too and microwave it, or an old salad? I told them I was not interested in day old creme brulee and it was not charged but that became an aggressive point too where hockey puck waiter had to be told by his colleagues to calm down. And I was not the only person at the table not happy about the food quality (apparently the colour of the roast beef was in question one of my dinner companions). So why two stars? 1. Presentation of the salty overcooked old food was nice 2. It seemed clean and there was toilet paper. Price is up there, but as I wasn't paying the bill, just something you should note especially if you now know their policy is not to serve you freshly made food. There were a lot of people sitting outside, but it might be students who are having drinks since its near the university. Overall, NO due to quality, service and NO SOAP (or at least none you can actually get into your hands)!!!
