The veal schnitzel was thin, tender and breaded perfectly. I also really liked the greens and sprouts on the potato field salad - fresh flavor and good compliment to the potatoes. And I am a sucker for a warm cake and ice cream pairing - this one did not disappoint! The restaurant is open and airy with exposed brick, comfortable seating, natural lighting and a charming outdoor space. read more

Came here hoping to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. It was not the case. Clean and brightly lit restaurant. Had another veal Wiener schnitzel and it was huge. Luckily I didn't order the soup. The schnitzel was great and the fries excellent. It came with a mixed side salad. Another excellent meal in Austria. read more

Figls - The weekly discounted lunch menu - Bars Near Me - Vienna, 9

On my first visit to Vienna, a local friend recommended this spot to me. I was surprised by his specific advice to get the grape juice. Another American friend and I ordered the grape juice and grape juice spritzer and absolutely loved them. They're made with white grapes from a local vineyard, producing a thick juice with nuanced flavor. It's a must try! As an appetizer, we had the potato dumplings, filled with greaves and served with warm, delicious sauerkraut that balanced the hearty flavor of the potato dough and its filling. Even though the whole menu looks delicious, we both ordered the Kärtner Kasnudeln - for only €11,5, it's a great deal. Garnished with greens, cooked onions, walnuts, and walnut butter, with a drizzling of oil and yogurt sauce on top, filled with herbs and curd cheese... there's a lot going on and it's all good. We had prompt and careful service from excellent wait staff. I love the warm atmosphere. They care about the details here. I hope to return soon! read more

One of our favorite places in Vienna, Figls in 1190 is part of the Figlmueller Group of restaurants. We visit the place now for about 10 years, and it has been very constant in quality. Figls is for us a place to go the whole year. During summer, we enjoy the seats outside, during winter, we like the fireplace inside. The staff is large part of the atmosphere, they are generally very kind and helpful and can tell you about the dishes. The restaurant manager is running a tight ship and it reflects in the atmosphere. Friendly and very professional. When it comes to food, Figls has a menu with several highlights, from spareribs, over hamburgers to the required schnitzel and a perfect kartoffelsalat. Together with a selection of good wines, you will find everything you need for a relaxed dinner with friends, or a business lunch. Added to that is a seasonal menu. It changes every now and then, and features anything from starters, over mains to desserts. You can expect dishes like a Martini-Gansl to a Stelze during the October-fest. Prices are OK. It fits to the quality of the food, the service and the premises. Talking about that, you should know that every now and then, Figls actually closes for a day or two to renovate. Recently, they have upgraded the audio system and (finally) installed a proper working wifi system. Last but not least, if you want to go with a group of people, they offer special menus or a buffet and we've been there a few times with 25+ people and received amazing service, excellent food while still being very affordable. I'm convinced that we will be going there for at least another 10 years. read more

Figls - Figls has a new menu since a while. Some items dropped, some new dishes. - Bars Near Me - Vienna, 9

I like Figls. I really enjoy the atmosphere and the service is very good. As far as the food is concerned, it is definitely above average. Freshly baked pretzel is definitely a must. Baked cheese is great as well and the combination of these two is delicious. Beef tartar is good but I had better - a lot better. Ribs are so-so. The burger is not memorable - more bun than beef. I recommend going there more for drinks and snacks than anything else. read more

Our waitress was wonderful, refilling wine and beer on cue and helping us choose dishes. It was very traditional Austrian--wienerschnitzel, beef carpaccio, and meatballs and mashed potatoes were all very good, as was the pancake-and-berries dessert. The ambiance was a little bit bright and boring, nothing unique, which brings my review down a bit, however. read more

One year later: same relaxing place, same nice and attentive waiters, same amazingly good and tasty Austrian food! Their meat dishes are really, really good. Their Wiener Schnitzel is without any doubt one of the bests, if not THE best of Vienna! It is made out of Calf meat, as the traditional receipt stipulates. And of course since you are in a traditional Austrian local, you get two of them at once ;) The Tadelpitz is also very generous and well prepared, and the potatoes taste so good! Sitting outside on the terrace under the shade of a tree remains one of the nicest places I've ever been to in Vienna. I would advice you to call in advance to make a reservation though: we arrived at 12 sharp, and lots of tables were already under reservation! read more

Ok, I'm loath to do this and this review should be read in conjunction with my previous review. However, after spending two days in bed with food poisoning after having eaten at Figl's I feel compelled for you, fellow yelpers, to update this review. Hubby and I took some friends here for dinner Thursday night. I opted (against my better judgment as it turns out) to try from the Styrian menu, had a half of a grilled chicken that came with a cucumber salad that was in some sort of dairy, probably yogurt, but hard to tell, it was a very runny sauce per se and way over seasoned with dill. So the chicken was bland, but the cucumber salad was ok (see above on over seasoning). I was able to get through a little more then half the chicken and most of the salad, not a memorable meal at that point. Was thinking to myself I should have stuck to the burger. Our guests ordered Styrian beef steaks which they seemed to enjoy, and hubby got a fish dish. Hubby and another friend ordered the apricot crepes which they enjoyed and we all got coffee. I will leave my illness at ... I didn't even make it to 0300. You know that feeling where you know exactly what brought you to that position of worshiping porcelain gods? Yeah, I knew it was that cucumber salad. Out of an abundance of caution though I threw away the leftover chicken. Hubby was fine, thank goodness. I hope the guests were as they had a flight the next day. I will definitely come back, but my willingness to stray from the burger will be limited. More to follow on this joint. read more

My favorite restaurant in Vienna (though a bit away from downtown). While many people opt for the heurigers in the 19th district, I preferred this place. The indoor restaurant is extremely nice, the gardens space is very nice in the summer. Their burgers are authentically good, the veggies mozzarella stuffed pretzel is a great vegetarian option. For the schnitzel I preferred the experience in their Figlmuhler filiale downtown really. The staff is great a constantly changing seasonal specialty first page on the menu tempts you to break the routine of your regular dishes. Try the Weiss bier (Die Weisse), freshly brewed in a popup glass bottle, very smooth and highly recommended. Don't go in large groups, my experience (twice) when a large number of orders are placed was not pleasant (in the sense of some orders being missed and certain omissions forgotten). In groups up to 6 people it has always been a blast. Did I mention their white and chocolate mousse served with apricot ragout ?? Don't miss that one either ! read more

Love the homemade Burger. Friendly staff. Nice garden. read more

Wow, if I could give 10 stars, I would! My boyfriend and I went there for New Year's Eve, and it was our best date night to date. Our waitress was the perfect blend of "interested in us but gave great privacy", and the food was totally excellent. It's on our list of places to revisit! read more

Great schnitzel and Burgers! We have been there 4 times with out of town family thus far. Only complaint is they should have a non smoking section! Nice atmosphere. read more

Went to Figls on a Saturday afternoon with perfect weather. The outdoor seating area is beautiful. Had the pork version of schnitzel and the potato salad. Huge portions. Don't think there is such a thing as a small portion of schnitzel! It was Fantastic! The chocolate cake was tasty too. Overall, appreciated the ambiance. This was one of the most relaxing parts of my trip. Attentive service. Hope to return to work my way through the rest of the menu! Menu available in English. read more

We might have had a bad Saturday evening but we were rather disappointed, in contrast to the previous comments. The dishes were dirty, the atmosphere was rather noisy and crowded and the waiter spilled the drinks on us. If you want to act like a high class restaurant you should try better. For such a service and ambience the prices were too high. However the food was very good and their self brewed beer was extraordinary. The original Wiener Schnitzel from veal was quite tasty, very huge and my first veal one, but with almost 20EUR I will stay with the pork variant for the future read more

actually has a kids menu and crayons etc.. so a great option if u want to go with kids. Very good food. Indoor and outdoor seating. Easy to get to. I had sausages and beer. Tried the pork schnitzel and the kids' chicken schnitzel. All very good. A go to option if u are an expat with kids looking for a restuarant. read more
