If there's one place you have to try for schnitzel in Vienna, Figlmüller should be on the list! We ordered the Original Schnitzel, which is pork, and WOW--this thing was huge! It was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and honestly way more than I could finish on my own. But the real surprise for me was their house potato salad. It was absolutely fabulous and easily the best potato salad I've had. The tangy, flavorful salad paired with the schnitzel so well and added another layer of flavor to the dish. We also ordered an Austrian white wine, which was delicious, and finished with their warm apple strudel. The strudel was divine--warm, comforting, and the perfect way to end the meal. Service was great, and I highly recommend making a reservation. We saw a huge line when we arrived, but thankfully, with our reservation, we were able to avoid the long wait. The restaurant itself has a lovely traditional Viennese feel and does a great job preserving its old-world charm. Come hungry--the schnitzel is no joke! read more

We couldn't get reservations for the original location but was able to get one here right near by. There was a kine outside when we arrived for a 2 pm reservation. We were seated right away. The inside js a lot more spacious than it looks from outside. As we had dinner in a few hours, we got the pork schnitzel to share with lingoberry sauce, field greens, and grape juice. The schnitzel was lovely- nice thin good meat and crispy breading. It was HUGE! I have never had this vegetable before but it was delicious and the dressing was excellent. I also really enjoyed their grape juice. The staff were very nice and service was quick. This is not a dish I would want to eat every day but I enjoyed the meal. read more

My friend and I had dinner at Figlmüller Bäckerstraße (there are two locations). It's one of several restaurants under the Figlmüller restaurant group, which began in 1905 when Johann Figlmüller opened the first location - a small wine tavern right behind St. Stephen's Cathedral. It's still family-owned by the fourth generation of the Figlmüller family. We had a reservation, which I highly recommend. When we arrived, there was quite a long line outside the building, but we were able to walk right in to get seated at our reserved table. Figlmüller Bäckerstraße may be the offshoot of the original, but it still has tons of historic character. It's traditional and cozy and warm. The service was great, too - it made for a very comfortable spot. My friend and I shared: Figlmüller-Schnitzel, creamy veal goulash with spätzle, and carrot salad. We might have had a couple of glasses of wine, too. The food was all great - Viennese classics and delicious. Overall, I thought Figlmüller lived up to the hype. If you're looking for a classic spot for Viennese schnitzel, consider Figlmüller Bäckerstraße. read more

I read several resources that recommended this restaurant, so it is the only reservation I made in advance for Vienna. We weren't disappointed! For me the star of the show was the potato salad! The fries were awesome too! Even cold at the end of the meal they were still yummy. The schnitzel was huge and very tasty with the lingonberry sauce. But I do have to say I haven't had bad schnitzel anywhere in Austria so far, and this is probably the 5th time I've eaten it on this trip. Our server was very attentive and always kept our water glasses filled. There was a line of about 20 people waiting for a walk-in table when we arrived and left, so definitely make a reservation. read more

We tried the original pork schnitzel, the original potato field salad and the semolina dumpling soup with beef broth, it was all delicious. Everything was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. Our waiter Christian was very kind and personable and the food came quicker than expected. We had a reservation which we highly recommend getting as the line outside was very long. The ambiance was perfect with lighting the wasn't overwhelming and a layout that made the restaurant feel intimate and cozy. Next time we're in Vienna, we will absolutely be back. Don't miss the chance to eat here while in the city. read more

Figlmüller in Vienna totally lived up to the hype! The pork schnitzel was huge, tender, and delicious, bigger than the plate! The berry sauce paired perfectly with it. The place was spotless, including the bathrooms, and the staff were super friendly. What made it truly unforgettable was not just the food but also meeting new friends from Malaysia and Taiwan while waiting in line. They had a reservation (we didn't!) and invited us to join them. Strangers from opposite sides of the world sharing an amazing Viennese meal, stories, and laughs. Proof that good food really does bring people together. read more

When you're in Vienna, you have to try the Pork Snitzel. You can get it from a few places in Austria, but this restaurant is probably the most famous. There's a couple locations, but one location nearby was closed for renovations, so there was quite a line. Reserve in advance if possible. The Figlmüller-Schnitzel is a traditional staple. It is very thin, but a large piece, softly breaded and dry since it is white meat. But after a while, it's more of the same. A lemon slice only help so much. Sides are extra, I tried the potato-field salad with pumpkin seed oil; small mixed salad; Spinatknodel / spinach dumplings. Water is also extra here. Overall, you have to try it once when you're in Austria. Otherwise, it is fancier, but pricier than other restaurants. They do have different seating, including tables deep into the basement, as if they're bunkers? read more

I had dinner there as part of a party of 9. If you have a larger group I strongly recommend making a reservation in advance. That lets you skip the long queue and get seated right away. The place was huge inside, bigger than expected from the outside. It was packed with people in a good way and the decor was tasteful and inviting. The wait staff were really friendly and attentive and visited just often enough to make sure we had what we needed. The food was great, and the classic schnitzel was massive but thin enough that it didn't feel overwhelming to eat. I paired it with the potato salad that included greens and both were excellent. If you're getting the schnitzel I suggest the longenberry preserve because the schnitzel itself is on the blander side. read more

I found this place to be amazing! We found it on the recommendation of our walking tour guy. We did not have a reservation obviously, and they told many people to go away. But they told my sister and I to hang out and wait a few minutes and then behold, they got us in. I had the schnitzel, which overlap the plate which was as big as my head. My sister had the goulash, and the potato salad was to die for. It was covered in not a warm baking sauce, but some slightly sweet sauce, and piled high with watercress. Really enjoyed this place! read more

This was a great experience. We went to the most famous restaurant that serves their famous schnitzel. Please visit this place if you're ever in Vienna, Austria. The service is great. Short wait for the food but make sure you make a reservation. There's a long queue if you don't have a reservation. So happy we went to this famous restaurant. It lives up to its reputation. Also the staff are all so friendly. read more

Figlmüller - The famous Figlmuller! - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

I had a disappointing experience here. The schnitzel itself was mediocre, but the main issue was the bill. When ordering sides, the server asked, "Fries or mashed potatoes?" without clearly stating that these were extra-cost add-ons. The menu was not in English, and at these price levels I assumed basic sides were included. In addition, several items we did not order or use--ketchup, butter, and other condiments--appeared on the bill as chargeable extras. These are typically included with a meal elsewhere. When I questioned these additions, the waiter became confrontational rather than helpful. I asked for my tip back instead of escalating further, and it was returned immediately. Given the high prices, unclear communication about extras, and charges for unrequested items, I felt the overall value was very poor. I would advise future guests to confirm exactly what is included before ordering, or avoid this establishment completely. read more

Nobody will deny that the thin, crispy breading, tender pork schnitzel this place is known for is delicious. What I would recommend, seriously, is if they offered a variety of toppings to add some moisture, richness, sweet or tart balance. I ordered the white asparagus side with a side of hollandaise sauce that I dipped my slices into. The service was slow and the only waiter in the room could come in and ignore you. It became a goal of my table neighbors and I to get his attention. Not necessarily a Figlmüller issue, but it was hot & humid and their AC (or any air flow) sucked. Along with having to fan myself with my menu I ordered a couple of Radlers to cool down. I took down about 75% of my schnitzel and had no room left for anything else. The service was the reason for the 4 stars. The next time I go I will make sure I get something to pour over or dip my schnitzel in. read more

I absolutely love this place! I come here on every visit to Vienna. Sure, there are a lot of places around that serve Wienershcnitzel, but this place still has a reputation and an old-world charm that is unmatched in any other place in Vienna. Make a reservation, otherwise, prepare to wait. If you're staying in a nice hotel, ask the concierge and I am sure they will get you in. The menu is small, but order the item they are famous for- Wienerschnitzel! I have eaten here many times and am always impressed with the size of the schnitzel! It definitely does cover the edges of the plate. Also, trust the waiter's recommendation on wine. He is not trying to upsell you. The Steak Tartare is incredible, but make sure you save room for the main event. The sides are okay, nothing spectacular, but they do go well with the Schnitzel. On my last visit, the waiter was awesome, friendly and funny and genuinely happy to serve us. If you are here for a few days, feel free to try another place, but go here at least once- you will NOT be disappointed! read more

We shared their signature pork schnitzel and it's so massive that the two of us couldn't finish. Served with a single lemon slice so HIGHLY recommend the side salads for some acidity & sweetness!! Texture wise, it's more chewy (?) than crispy. Not bad or anything, but just not for me ‍ Probs would taste better with sauce, ketchup even, but that's very American of me. Figlmüller-Schnitzel (pork) €20.9 Potato Salad €6.9 Small Mixed Salad €6.9 비엔나에서 첫 식사는 슈니첼!! 거의 모든 식당에서 찾아볼수있는 요리지만 우린 Figlmüller으로 먹으러감! 갈꺼면 미리 예약하는걸 추천. 기다렸다 먹었으면 억울했을꺼다 육전이라 생각하면 바삭한거구 돈까스를 예상했다면 눅눅한 식감? 맛 자체는 익숙한데 먹다보면 물리니까 감자 샐러드가 필수다. 굳이 찾아먹을 요리는 아니지만 한번은 먹어보기~ read more

If you can, make a reservation ahead of time. But if not, expect to be in line anywhere from 40 mins to an hour. I came around lunch time so I did have to wait in line but I wasn't bothered because I was not in a rush. However if you don't have too much time in town you can also get a good Wiener schnitzel anywhere else. This was my first time trying this famous Vienesse dish and it was huge so you can definitely share. It was pretty tasty and it reheats well lol. I had the leftover the next day. The potato salad was delicious too. Overall a good meal. This place is probably pricier than other local spots. Service was okay. read more

This is know as THE place to get Wiener schnitzel in Vienna. For that reason there is usually a relatively long queue, but you are able to make reservations in advance. There are actually two locations within a block of each other. For two we shared an order of their classic Wiener schnitzel. A single portion is very big so they kindly cut it in half and we paired it with a potato salad. It was freshly fried and delicious! The restaurant is a little more upscale and it is reflected in the price. It's worth the visit but there are also a ton of other great Wiener schnitzels in Austria at a much cheaper price point. read more

Would recommend getting a reservation here since it can get busy. My bf and I shared the original pork schnitzel with lingonberry jam and the tomato salad. The schnitzel was just average - it was pretty dry and not crispy. The jam made it taste yummy though. It was a very large portion, so definitely shareable. The salad was fresh. I tried my bf's apple strudel, but it didn't blow my mind. read more

This is THE place for schnitzel. Not the cheapest or fanciest but it is perfect for a classic Austrian dining experience. Our favorite meal of the trip. The green salad, the wine, the potato salad were all lovely complements to the schnitzel. Slight language barrier ordering but our server was so nice and helpful. Save room for dessert!! read more

Fancier restaurant to try wiener schnitzel. There are two locations right by each other that take walk-ins (but seems like there's usually a line) or make reservations online ahead of time! Shared one Wiener schnitzel between two people and ordered a side of the Austrian style potato salad. Tasty and a good spot if you want a more upscale experience. read more

A rating of 4 but might really be a 3.5. I struggle with Figlmuller each visit. But the last trip to Vienna we passed on it. I have to tell myself this a predominantly a tourist restaurant. And when I accept that it's ok...and yes I am a tourist but really enjoy eating and conversing with locals. We arrive right in time for our booking and were seated immediately among all the tourists. We hadn't been seated two minutes and our waiter was saying "what would you like to order". At that time we knew we had to slow him down. I ordered a Wiener Schnitzel with a side of Lingonberry jam and the waiter asked what side I would like. I asked what came with it and he answered "nothing" my response was "ok, nothing". He was rather flippant at that moment. Oh well. We also ordered the Rye Bread and sweet butter and an entree of Veal Goulash with Spaetzel and of course wine. We looked up and there was our bread. I looked in the cute little bag and there was not three but 3 and 1/2 pieces of small sliced bread... I could only assume the worst. It was ok. Knew I didn't need the filler. Entrees arrived and they were pretty sad looking... not like the schnitzel around me. Mine was two pieces not covering the plate and the beautiful ones around me were one piece covering the whole plate. Disappointed for the photo. It was very good with salt added and lemon provided. I have had better at less if a visit and which also included a side if potatoes or other choice. The Veal Goulash was on the verge of being too salty. We asked for our check and our waiter even appreciated his generous tip. Will we return...probably not but it is worth the experience. A bit overpriced. Highly recommend booking in advance as we sat by the window and there seemed to be a moderate line. read more

The waiters were very nice but the food was just average. Just a tourist trap of average food that was cranked out from the kitchen. You have to eat there because of the "original" schnitzel. - but I'm sure there are a lot of other places with better a better schnitzel at any other place in Vienna. Also pricey for what you get. Again tourist trap. read more

Figlmuller has been open for almost 120 years!! One of Vienna's most iconic restaurants. It is an absolute must on your trip to Vienna. The menu is pretty limited, but let's be real, you only come for the schnitzel. The schnitzel is the size of a basketball. It's massive!! We ordered 2 between 3 of us and honestly should have ordered 1. It is so much food. It is expensive but it feeds a lot so the price makes sense. My only request here is I wish there were better side options with the schnitzel and they shouldn't charge for a side of sauce. read more

Highly recommend!! The schnitzel here is so so good, it's one of the best I've ever had. The potato salad that comes with it is also divine. I also had the fresh grape juice, that I feel like I could've passed on, it tasted like normal grape juice. We also got a beef soup type thing off their traditional menu, it was alright, nothing too special. The line moves quickly outside, we were probably the 8th party or so but we got seated within 30 minutes. Definitely worth the wait! Service is very kind, and it's very nice inside. Not loud or anything. read more

I had a great experience at Bäckerstraße location. The atmosphere was classy. I had sourdough bread with butter, Figlmüller-Schnitzel, potato salad and apple strudel. The host and waiter were both professional and helpful. And I'd say that was the best schnitzel experience I ever had. I initially noticed the Figlmüller Wollzeile at Wollzeile 5. This location required a reservation and was full. The host suggested to try the newer location around the corner at Bäckerstraße 6. I'd recommend to make a reservation, as the line for walk-in can take over an hours. read more

We were warned in advance, and so had a reservation. We arrived at the Figlmüller location around the corner from where our reservation was, and it took a moment to clarify the situation. Once we got to the right place, we were led into the lower level of a comfortable restaurant. I think we made the right choice, deciding to divide two schnitzels between four people: the schnitzels are literally dinner-plate sized. My wife finally got the top-notch schnitzel she had been jonesing for the entire trip. I didn't find either the mixed salad or the vogerlsalat particularly tasty. The restaurant doesn't serve soda, so I had to settle for a decent apple juice. We skipped the slight dessert course. Service was good. read more

A rather rustic setting for the city of Vienna, but the food was delicious, the beer and service spot on! Make a reservation. Liked it!

We only tried schnitzel in two restaurants and theirs is better so is the potato salad that goes with it. Ordered both pork and veal. Got the tafelspitz as well, good for just one person. Beer. Finished off with apple strudel. Long line/long wait, waited almost two hours. Unable to get reservation. read more

Figlmüller is an established restaurant known for their schnitzel. Of the two locations we went to the Backstreet restaurant as they offer schnitzels that are not solely pork based. This was by far, the best schnitzel on our trip as the veal was pounded thinly and the breading complemented the dish and wasn't overwhelming. To accompany, we ordered some lingonberries which were amazing and some bread. The bread may have been a day or so old as it wasn't very fresh. Definitely a place to go in Vienna for schnitzel as proven by the line that wraps around the corner. If possible, I recommend making a reservation on your own, or with the assistance of a hotel concierge, as we were able to be seated almost moments after we arrived and bypass a 20 person line. read more

The employee brought the tableware and said, 'Nihao,' in an unpleasant tone. I was very offended, so I complained to another employee, but he didn't recognize what was wrong either. We are not Chinese. It is very rude of Westerners to say hi to all Asians, 'Nihao' or 'Gonichiwa'. It was very UNPLEASANT experience. I do not recommend here to all Asians. The food is just pork cutlet flavor and normal. read more

What I enjoyed: 1) Potatosalad and mini salad What we ordered: 1) Big pork schnitzel (better than the Kalbsschnitzel one) but somehow was boring. It lacked in flavor, sauce or anything else. 2) Kalbsschnitzel. Is more expensive and much smaller and more airy, not as flat. I enjoyed the other one slightly more 3) kaiserschmarn- skip that, it's too sweet, soft dough. Not worth the calories. read more

Excellent meal, worth the effort to make the reservation. It's not overly expensive and the schnitzel is a massive portion of delicious, tender schnitzel in a super light crust. Two people can absolutely get one schnitzel to share. We didn't get our lingonberry jam, which was sad, but everything else was delicious. Good radler to accompany the meal. read more
