After several nights in Vienna without having tried schnitzel, I was on a mission to find an…read moreauthentic spot on my last night here. Found this cozy spot a few blocks off the Stadtpark and figured I'd give it a shot. So glad I did. it was pretty packed when we got ther, we were able to get a high top table after just a few minutes wait. Ordered the beef tartare and schnitzel. Be forewarned, they don't skimp on the portions here. The tartare was delicious and came with a salad and about a half of stick of butter, which was interesting. Schnitzel was big enough to feed at least two people and left me feeling like I had finally experienced a real local meal. Wine was also great and made me wish I could have stayed there drinking it all night. But alas, I had an early flight to catch the next day...

Quite tight seating. Restrooms are not accessible by people with limited mobility. No baby changing stations. The food is okay. The schnitzel was fine and so was lamb. Okay to eat but not memorable. Caprese salad was tasty. In conclusion, if you are passing by and hungry, feel free to stop by. If you are looking for a memorable lunch/dinner experience, plan to visit a different establishment.

Luckily, we happened across this one when we were visiting Schonbrunn. It was about a mile walk, but it was well worth it. The atmosphere was very home-like, with a friendly, cheery waitress. The menu was completely in German, so I did my best with my high school German and the internet. We ordered beer (massive fail, since we went there for wine), and I got a Reisenschnitzel, while my boyfriend got basically fried chicken. I found out AFTER ordering that Reisenschnitzel means "large schnitzel", and that was a very accurate description. It was a massive pork schnitzel that came with a side of cabbage, and potato salad. It was so good, I probably ate more than I should have, but I could only finish half. My boyfriend's fried chicken was really tasty as well. We then waddled about a mile to a U-bahn stop, quite sated. As a side observation, Austrian cooking has a strange but admirable ability to fry food and yet have it still taste light and not oily.

Recommend going to the og location near Schonnbrunn for a more local crowd. The best way to experience would be getting the "gustostuckerl," where you choose 3 cuts. One of which should be Tafelspitz, the rump of the cow, known to be the emperor's favorite cut I personally preferred the fatty cuts, kavalierspitz (shoulder) & beinfleisch (rib). Love how rich and flavorful the broth is and I know it would taste even better during winter.

We were looking for a spot for dinner that was close to Schönbrunn palace and noticed this…read moreonline-it's a short, easy, 15-minute walk from the palace gate to the restaurant situated in a pretty little village just outside the palace walls. It's a big lively beer hall with big long tables and lots of groups enjoying themselves after work. Our table for two, situated upstairs in this massive place was the exception. Waiters were efficient and we they provided us with English menus to make choosing from their dozens of options easier. Like other Austrian restaurants we've visited this trip, the portions are massive-they make the US-sized big portions look small. My wife's chicken "schnitzel" (thin pounded chicken breast) was two large pieces that each covered the 10" dinner plate and was served with about a pint of German potato salad while my fresh fish (fried perch) wad two 8" long pieces, about an entire head of steamed broccoli and a couple of cups of buttery parsley potatoes. In addition we ordered their version of a caprese salad (tomatoes and fresh mozzarella with basil) that also filled an entire large plate. I suppose owing to the size of the restaurant (must seat at least 300-400), the food arrived super quick-salad in about 5 minutes and main courses very shortly after. With a couple of glasses each of a local red wine, the entire meal was less than 50€! Unfortunately we couldn't even eat half the food although from our perch on the 2nd floor looking down across the balcony, we did observe lots of local people, including women, who did! Bottom line, festive place with a great value.

They are able to speak English but restaurants are the best place to try using your Deutsch and the staff will be very pleased and create laughs around the table.

It was near our air bnb and had lots of good reviews, so the choice was made. We each got a different rendition of schnitzel. I got the classic and I personally thought it was great.

I Think they had different expectations. My mom got a version that was similar to a francese and my aunt got one with parm and oregano. I tried both and thought they were very good.

Also, be advised that if you want to avoid a wait get there early. We got there and had no real wait, but the people were beginning to show up as we left.
