The menu selection was interesting and with enough variety to interest more more than once. However the service was the coolest, as we had a very happy and enjoyable waiter who made our experience there more pleasurable then it should have been. The food was great , then outside seating was great and in fact the entire place just seemed to be great, what more can i say but GREAT,

You will find a large amount of dishes and the servings are large and taste very good. The service is not the fastest, but very friendly and cheerful. Its a great place to fuel up and continue on with your hike.

We got into town and were hoping to get a restaurant recommendation from our Air BnB host. This is…read morethe restaurant she suggested and we were not disappointed! We did have a couple folks in our group that speak German - but we had a fantastic waiter who was able to help in English as well. We had absolutely no disappointment with this restaurant. The food was amazing, the service was phenomenal, and the kids loved being able to play in the playground and feed the fish in the pond. If you happen into this town, check this place out. Everyone in our party of 6 ate every morsel of food. We even considered going back a second night - but ran out of time. Check it out, get the whole fish - it was the best!

Well, I come here for over 30 years now, and I really am surprised how it is possible to make…read morethings even worse than they already were. This venue is under new management: The buffet is permanently closed, a la carte only (which I find to be a really bad thing). Good points: They have some pretty good wines from the nearby Stift Klosterneuburg, and the location and view are very nice. I recommend: come well-fed and enjoy the view with a Gewürztraminer (white) or a St. Laurent (red).

The 3 star rating is for the food, because if I rated the ambiance, Weinhof Zimmerman would deserve…read more5 stars all the way. So, just like many of its neighbors in Neustift am Walde and Grinzing, Zimmerman serves the standard heuriger food - not bad, but nothing to write home about. The menu features a variety of roasted pork dishes, sausages, cheese spreads and a salad bar (small, but kinda cool). Go there to enjoy the setting and the wine (which is comparable in quality to the food they serve - also, not very expensive) and as long as you know that you are not there to experience a fine dining (or even good down to earth home cooking) experience, you'll enjoy your visit to Winehof Zimmerman.

What a wonderful evening. We followed Rick Steves's guide and easily found this place by public…read moretransportation. This is a perfect way to get away from the craziness of central Vienna. The outside table area is on a beautiful slope under the trees with rows of picnic tables. A large party was there, which took most of the servers' time, but no matter, we weren't in a hurry. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY...remember, you're supposed to slow down in vacation. We ordered a liter of the house white and it was sooooo drinkable, so we had to order the red, too. Inside at the counter, we purchased our food which was heavy on ham, roast pork, potatoes, and cold veggie salad. Delicious! We hung out for a couple hours in the warm September evening. One of our favorite memories of Vienna. It was easy to get back to the center of Vienna, following google transit, and everything runs frequently even late at night. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Their burgers are great, huge and very tasty, with home made French fries, and the salads are big enough to satisfy your appetite. But the highlight of this place are the desserts: the apfelstrudel was amazingly good and served in a very big portion, as was the waffle under all the whipped cream and strawberries! I would recommend it to anyone liking a true Austrian restaurant! Ps: beware: at 20:30 the kitchen are already closing and you have to hurry to order!

The portions are huge and you can simply sit outside and enjoy the view with a glass of wine in your hand. A great escape from the hot summer days in the city or simply enjoying the greenery of the neighbourhood. Reachable by car, bus from Heiligenstadt, bike (for the mountain bike enthusiasts) or on foot through the woods! Highly recommend but I admit that it may get a bit crowded on a weekend day!
