It's good , but I can't say it is the best! Enjoyed my time here and the waiters are nice & speak English.

Schnitzel can be served with out breading for a Gluten free option. Service was not the greatests as they seemed to be doing lots of other things - carrying glasses and wine bottles from one room to another, sorting silverware, etc. I had to stop by the cutlery station on my way to the WC to ask my server for another glass of wine. read more

Best place to eat in Vienna! Cool! I fallen in love with potato salad and schnitzel! But it will be better, if you will book a table, this is popular place ;) read more

Figlmüller - I couldn't eat that dish!!!! - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

amazing local restaurant. This is a must when visiting Vienna. This place was so good I went twice.

This place has been in business for over a 100 years, and once you go there, you can understand why. The schnitzels are awesome. And the Figlmuller schnitzel is really great. It really is bigger than the plate! And they still cook it the old fashioned way. You have to try this if you are in Vienna. And surprisingly, the salads were great as well. We were there in the winter, so you have to always hit up the gluhwein. read more

Perhaps the best schnitzel ever!! Really tasty and huge. Also ordered the famous potato salad and side salad, again both very tasty. The service is prompt and on top of everything. Hightly reccomend you book in advance, a lot of people were turned away. read more

Figlmüller might be in all tourist guide books, but its definitely worth it! Its not a tourist trap, they have the best schnitzel I have ever eaten (the challenge is its size!) and the service is really welcoming! Last time we had a waiter joking with us and having conversation with, so there is also a touch of personal service, not only giving out your foods and drinks. This is also remarkable, because I have never seen this restaurant with an empty table, there is always a bunch of people, sometimes they also line up in front of it so the waiters are busy all the time. read more

Best schnitzel in town, but know that it is a very large portion.

Not advised to Chinese tourists. You can probably get better fried beef/pork almost anywhere in China. And the waiter is really indifferent(at least it is how I strongly feel). Not to mention it's expensive. Not recommended. read more

The king of schnitzel! I had schnitzel four times in Vienna, and this was hands down the best. Fried to perfection, great flavor, this is the go-to place for schnitzel! What can I say more? read more

Excellent Schnitzel - good salads.. One is too much for one person, order one to share.. Recommended

The perfect schnitzel with delicious sides. No beer, but good wines and house made sparkling drinks read more

Figlmüller - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

A native from Vienna recommended Figlmuller to us on our train ride into Vienna, and I'm sure glad we took his advice! The schnitzel and potato salad are both incredible, my husband and I split the schnitzel and then each ordered our own potato salad. And we were stuffed! read more

Came here two weeks ago while visiting Vienna. Great schnitzel and great service. Very reasonable price. Only thing missing is that they don't sell beer. Will definitely come back here next time I'm in Vienna. read more

I have been here a couple of times with my family, it is a typical Austrian Restaurant. Worth it if you have guest in the town.

Fall off the plate Weiner Schnitzel! If in Vienna, you have to try the Weiner Schnitzel, and Figlmuller is the place to do it. Might need reservations....hard to get into on the weekend. So worth it! Excellent, professional service. Medium priced. read more

Figlmüller - Figlmuller Weiner Schnitzel is a must when visiting Vienna! - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

Very simple schnitzel, yet very tasty. To be hornest, you would want some other flavour, like salad or something to finish your schnitzel as it's so big and simple flavour (which is very nice). The service was good. And the restaurant gets very busy. We got there at 11 am and got a table ok, but some others arrived later didn't. It's good to be there early. read more

Wiener schnitzel? No, it's not what you're thinking. At least if you're from the States. This is the Original wiener schnitzel and it does not mean mediocre sausages served from drive-thrus. Little did I know that this humble spot invented this semi-famous dish. When I discovered reservations were key to getting in, I tried finding spots, but found no times that fit our schedule. On a wing and a prayer, we entered into Figlmuller fully expecting to be thrown out when asked if we had a reservation and we didn't, our waiter took mercy on us and kindly offered us a seat by the window when we informed him that we tried to make reservations online, but were not able to find a slot. Flush from our good fortune, we ordered the wiener schnitzel with a side salad. The wienr schnitzel is thinly pounded and larger than the plate so it can easily serve two people if you're not too hungry. The side salad is a great addition and really helps break up the monotony of the wiener schnitzel with a good dose of acid and vinegar. The potato salad is really top notch. I was not such a fan of the fried cheese sticks and kept on thinking it would be awesome with a side bowl of marinara sauce to dip them into, but this ain't Italy. We definitely saw many tourists turned away without reservations so I would echo everyone's suggestions to make reservations well in advance. I searched 48 hours before and was not able to find any decent slots. read more

Had an amazing first meal here in Vienna! We had made reservations, but our table wasn't ready - for at least 15 minutes. Although it wasn't really the waitstaff's fault, the waiters gave us wine while we waited for our table and he didn't have to. He was super nice and attentive our whole meal. Between the 5 of us, we ordered 2 weiner schnitzel (tasty and not oily/greasy or too heavy at all), a large salad, a potato salad with pumpkin seed oil (highly recommend), the the Tafelspitz (such a yummy broth - also highly recommend). I would definitely be back if I had any stomach space left on this trip! read more

I love Vienna and when I'm there a quick stop to get schnitzel is a good idea. One of the things that I told my husband was that while we were in Vienna we would Figlmuller (it was his first time). There is always a 'wait' but that's really if you're more than 4 people. You shouldn't have to 'wait' longer than 5 minutes if it's a party of two and you and you ask them to sit down. I've done this so many times but I'm not there to chat forever - I'm literally there to eat and do my nightly stroll. The guys there are pretty understanding and they'll sit you down pretty fast. The place has got the Austrian flavor and claims to have invented the Schnitzel. To be honest, I don't care who invents it - it's about who cooks it the best and thus far it has been them. It's thin, takes up the entire plate and is meant to be the meal. There's no 'appetizers' prior to getting Schnitzel. I've seen that before - why do you do that to yourself and add extra weight. The portions (and portions in Austria) are hearty it's and potato type of place. I can only imagine how many schnitzels they throw away because of 'appetizers'. Anyways, we were seated quickly, we know what we want without even looking at the menu as we're familiar and our food came out in, say, 10-15 minutes. We didn't gobble our food down but we weren't there longer than 40 minutes. While you're there and waiting for your food order the wine. Grüner Veltliner & Welschriesling are one of my personal favorites there but to each their own. Make sure there is a glass of wine next to you with your schnitzel. Enjoyed myself and always enjoy being able to get in there quickly and get out quickly despite it being packed with tourists and a few locals alike. read more

Better than the bäcker strasse option. Plus more room. Excellent living deals while schnitzels are large but expensive. Service is generally good there. You won't be disappointed with quality that's for sure. read more

After waiting in line at the original Figlmüller for over 10min, we decided to go to their new addition just around the corner. Found seats right away, and the "cold austrian" service was promptly available to take our order. The original figlmüller schnitzel was only so-so. The breading was a little excessive and the meat tasted a little processed. My dining parter had the veal schnitzel which she said tasted very good! Good wine, traditional (albeit touristy) experience - worth it for a quick lunch! read more

Given that I had been experiencing general bad service in Vienna (probably because I am a single Asian female, going by my observation on interactions going on around me), and given that I was probably perceived as a stingy Asian who simply bought a schnitzel (I was full of gelato and bad service from another establishment nearby), and given that I was stuck in the vicious circle of bad service - angry Asian female, Figlmüller was absolutely positively lovely in terms of service. When the food is already good, customer service makes a huge difference. Please keep up your without-bias good service and hopefully, I can visit with a group of friends the next time I am in town to try out more dishes! read more

Wonderful wiener schnitzel at Figlmuller. Our guide recommended this place to us, and we were not disappointed. Definitely order the potato salad as well, it's delicious! The locals say that you can find a cheaper spot for schnitzel, but this place scored high in my book so I would go ahead and recommend it as well. Make sure you share the schnitzel, because it's HUGE!!!! The location we were at did not serve beer (only wine). read more

Of course we had to get traditional Wienerschnitzel while in Wien. Fortunately they were not crowded at 12:00 and we were invited to sit in the reserved porch-like section by the window. The Wienerschnitzel is HUGE, filling up a whole dinner plate. So we ordered one Wienerschnitzel and one large salad per couple. It was more than enough. The salad was not a garden salad itself but also delicious sauerkraut, potato salad and cucumbers. The salad enhanced the flavor of the Wienerschnitzel that was pretty good (though in my humble opinion Prague has better Wienerschnitzel because their bread coating is a bit smoother and they fry it in -- yes, butter). Delightful place and worth the visit. read more

I don't know why there is a line for this. Their chicken schnitzel was okay. It is pretty big, one order can be shared between 2 people. It is just fried chicken patties to me. If you are from the States you probably had better ones. Not worth the wait. We did tried their potatoes salad, that was pretty good. Service was good. read more

Well, what can I say "As good as it gets". Friendly and knowledgeable stafff, amazing schnitzel that impossible to eat for one person. We also got some liver and onions that was just like grandma use to make. read more

I always end up here when going to Wein, but I'm always a bit annoyed with it. The food is decent but the service often is a bit stiff and unfriendly. Still, pretty dang good Schnitzel. read more

I know this is a famous place and highly recommended as the place to go to have the original Wiener Schnitzel; however, I found the cutlet not very tasty, and the oil used for frying old and gave a non-pleasant lingering after taste. Yes, the cutlet was huge, and the restaurant is quaint; but this is a place that is about quantity vs quality. I would recommend going to Gasthaus Pfudc for a better Wiener Schnitzel and Viennese food in general. read more

See all

Romantic setting and the schnitzel is worth the hype. We had a great time dining there while in Vienna.

No better schnitzel to be had in Vienna. Sent here on the advice of a friend who frequently visits Vienna on business and he didn't steer us wrong. We needed a reservation for a lunch at 2:00PM so plan ahead if you really want to eat here. The traditional potato dish (name escapes me) was as good as the schnitzel. I almost forgot, the schnitzel was huge and I only finished half of it. I almost never have food leftover so I am recommending that you share if they will let you. read more

Highly recommended for Weiner Schnitzel. It was bigger than the plate it came on but absolutely delicious!! I couldn't eat it all!! Leftovers made for a great sandwich the next day!! read more

A bit of a tourist trap but well worth a visit just for the shear size of the schnitzel. They claim to have the best schnitzel in Vienna - the certainly have the biggest and to finish it is a challenge! read more

On a recent river cruise in Europe, we stopped in Vienna, where we asked our Uniworld cruise director Markus for a recommendation for authentic schnitzel. This place was his recommendation. This is a small, old restaurant in the shopping district of Vienna. The menu is ala carte, a little pricey, but the fare is excellent. The restaurant is very small, but we came early and had no wait. Later there was a long line. Timing is everything. Food: it is no exageration to say the weiner schnitzel is enough to feed 4 people. Very well prepared, fast and tasty. We also ordered the green salad and the potato soup. The salad was delightful. A mix of greens with tasty house vinegrette, and lots of variety. Under the greens were hiding sliced potatoes, some sour kraut, and a cherry tomoato. The potato soup was hearty, tasty and hot. I had a glass of red wine of the waiter's recommendation, no beer a this restaurant as it is a wine house, but, my red was superb. Service: fast, ala carte, somewhat impersonal compared to American standards but impeccable in Europe. They are in a hurry, mostly because of the demand and the logistics most likely. Small amount of seating in a high rent area in a huge city.... Ambience: small, very authentic, reminiscient of an old, very old European inn. Clean, well run, and overall a very good dining experience. I would go back again if it were ever an option... read more

Great schnitzel and schnapps. Really pricey. The potatoes are there along with the sauerkraut to offset the the dry schnitzel. In Figimuller's case, I tasted pickle juice moistening the traditionally dry schnitzel. This was the best we had all trip. read more

Just adding you as a place for me to must try. I could not get a seat there but it was super crowded but will be there and plan ahead next time. read more

Kind of stumbled upon this restaurant searching for a dinner spot around Vienna's city center. Had the pork schnitzel which they claim to have served for over 100 years. It was HUGE! Big enough for two. At almost $20 with no sides it seemed expensive. Two of us shared the well cooked, tenderly fried and breaded signature dish along with a mixed salad and were stuffed. It was worth the price. By the way, the salad is a mixture of 10 or 12 different salads on one plate: potato, greens, cabbage, carrot, etc. All great on their own but amazing as a singular salad. Worth trying if in Vienna. read more

My husband and I went here for our first night in Vienna. I wanted a traditional restaurant with traditional dishes. This place did not disappoint. The service and food were great! The Wiener schnitzel was so huge, we split the dish. It was great with lemon and a very light batter. The potato salad was out of this world. Highly recommend this place! read more

Staff were friendly . Potato soup was very good. Schnitzel was a little bid dry but portion was more than enough for one.

Maybe it's all the hype but I left this place feeling like everything was just ok. I just had the schnitzel which came out fast hot and big. I was in no way blown away by the taste nor the atmosphere. Consecutively I felt like the price did not justify the experience. read more
