We ordered the Wiener Schnitzel, prepared in the traditional Viennese style, and it was amazing! The schnitzel was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with their potato salad, which was also really good. We also tried the Tafelspitz, served with a flavorful beef broth and vegetables. It was hearty, fresh, and packed with flavor. Their house beer on tap was refreshing and went perfectly with the meal. But the real showstopper was dessert--the famous Kaiserschmarrn with apricot. These fluffy, shredded pancakes were absolutely divine, and the apricot added just the right amount of sweetness. Easily one of the highlights of the meal! Service was impeccable, and everything tasted fresh. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially because this is a small restaurant and it clearly has a strong following among locals. The atmosphere is lovely, with a neighborhood, non-touristy vibe that makes the experience feel authentically Viennese. If you're looking for delicious traditional Viennese specialties without the tourist-trap feel, definitely put Gasthaus Pöschl on your list!

I ordered the Weiner Schnitzel special and my girlfriend ordered the Berner Wurstel (sorry I can't put the Umlaut in my browser.) Both dishes were good. The Schnitzel was very large.

There's no menu and waiter made no effort to explain what was available. He said only "schniztel" was available even though we clearly saw folks with different dishes. Waiter seemed irritated to even service us. Service is slow as molasses (seems like only 1 waiter). We waited 10 min for a drink order and then another 20 min before we had to flag him down for a food order . The bill took prolly 15 minutes to come. Also definitely preferential treatment for local Austrians here. Worst service during my trip to Vienna. Won't be coming back.

So, it was our first night in Vienna and we stumbled upon this hidden gem. I honestly can't believe…read morethat it has only been reviewed a handful of times. Anyway, here is my review... The seating is indoor (fairly small - but enough room to not feel cramped) or outdoors. Outdoor seating was plentiful, but like most people in Vienna, the locals all seem to smoke. So we opted for indoors. Our waitress was kickass. Right off the bat she was welcoming and on it. We ordered Gruner Vertliner wine, which arrived promptly and a carafe of water... which was nice touch. Our waitress recommended the "fried chicken" (which was similar to schnitzel, but with chicken - and only better) and the gnocchi with smashed peas and chorizo. Both were fire. We also ordered the no bake chocolate cake and it was really good. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. We may be going back tomorrow.

We traveled from the city center of Vienna for their veal Wiener schnitzel. Cost for one plate 26 euro. Potatoes lacked salt and flavor. Wiener schnitzel was very poor quality and meat was inedible.
