    Portion for one!
    Michelle A.

    Our hotel recommended this lively popular restaurant when we asked for a local place for dinner and we were wowed. First meal (yes, goulash!) sat at the bar, where everyone chatted to us in English -- so fun! Next night got a table (schnitzel) and the couple next to us was heading to the Opera. Third night (bratwurst) we were not near others so just people watched. Portions are so huge, no room for dessert!

    Sehr lecker!

    This spot undoubtedly came up as the #1 affordable restaurant in Vienna on Yelp, didn't it? And that's probably why you're reading my English review right now, as an American. We tried to come here after checking into our hotel, but sadly they were booked for the evening. So we returned the following day and were able to have an early dinner here. It's very low-key and minimalist in decor, and would remind me of some of the hip wine bars in the US if the lighting wasn't so bright. We got a cute spot next to the front window, and the lighting was even less necessary, as the sun was still out for the majority of our meal. The service was friendly, and we were glad to again be treated kindly although our family only spoke English. Our server was attentive, and we didn't go long without having anything we wanted. By this point of the trip I had already grown tired of meat, cheese, and gravy, so just like at the other restaurant in Vienna, I opted for something different. Here I chose the pumpkin raviolis, which came with a side salad. I had learned from my ignorance in ordering beer from the previous wine bar we had eaten at, and opted for a glass of red wine here. We ended with the cream cheese dumplings with plum stew. After going four days without eating any greens, I was happy to have the salad. The dressing was light and unique in flavor, which made up for the less-than-fresh leaves. The pumpkin raviolis were also refreshing, as aside from the pumpkin, there were also cherry tomatoes and arugula in the dish. Another light item that left me pleasantly full. The wine was good, but arguably not as good as wine I drink in California, though I'm glad I tried it. I don't recall exactly what my parents got, but I think they were more traditional dishes--possibly goulash with spätzle. They enjoyed their dishes fine, and I'm sure I would have liked them too. The cream cheese dumplings were amazing! Such a simple dessert that was tart and sugary, warm, crunchy, and chewy. It hit all the right notes, and was perfectly-sized as a dessert for three people to share (after they have eaten their own entrees). Very glad to come across this place and lucky to be seated without reservations.

    Tucked away on a side street in the city center, this cozy spot gives you a traditional Viennese restaurant experience. My friend and I went around 6/6:30pm and were able grab a few seats at the bar. However, we arrived at just the right time, because not 30 minutes to an hour later, the place was packed and there was a line of people waiting. So I recommend making a reservation. We ordered beer and wine to start and then had the pike perch (fish), which came with a risotto, and chicken livers, which came with a fresh potato and water cress salad. For dessert, we shared the kaiserschmarrn (Austrian dessert of shredded pancake with dried fruit, served with apple sauce/compote). Overall we had a wonderful time enjoying our meal and the buzzing energy of the place! We walked around the neighborhood afterwards for a leisurely stroll along the cobblestone streets of Vienna.

    Excellent restaurant that wasn't too far from the Innere Stadt. Great food, excellent, service and nice ambiance (although the road outside was dug up due to construction). For starters we got the mixed salad (very good) and the fois Graz Bruelle. The Wiener Schnitzel was good as well, but the star of the show was the Tafelspitz which came with a number of sides. The Tafelspitz was recommended by the server and he was so helpful in serving it in the traditional way for each of us. A hidden gem--I highly recommend it!

    Food was delicious, goulash beef was out this world, super tender and juicy, melting in the mouth. Desert was very delicious. Service outstanding and atmosphere cool.

    My husband and I came here for the first dinner during our honeymoon trip in Austria. This is a very nice little place, and it gets really busy after 6 pm. We didn't make a reservation, and we were fortunate to be seated near the bar. Staff are very nice and professional. We had an amazing Austrian meal here.

    Just stopped in to sample their brews. Very cramped seating at the tables and the bar is tiny. They brew, but apparently only 2 kinds. They were described as "clear and cloudy." Both were "meh." The bartender was brusque and didn't want to be bothered by Americans.

    Super quiet street and small place. You will miss it if you are not aware of your surroundings and looking for it. You can tell this is where locals dine and they want to keep it this way. Not overly friendly to visitors. The food was pretty decent and reasonably priced for Vienna. We shared the steak tartar that was a large portion as a starter for two and shared the schnitzel with potato salad; hubs had a beer. You'll need reservations if you want a table. We were lucky enough to sit at the bar and not have to wait an hour and half.

    This place was super busy on a Saturday night but the maitre'd said to come over and he'd figure a way. A 10-minute wait and we were sweated at the bar. The Austrian classics were delicious- goulash, schnitzel and dessert was the piping hot kaiserschmarrn. A bit noisy and cramped, but the staff were friendly and the bartender happy to answer questions about the local beer, Ottakringer Rotes Zwickl, which was outstanding. If you're looking for a tasty and authentic little place this is the spot - but definitely check about seating in advance. It's popular with locals - for good reason!

    Super place. Friendly, authentic, and worth a wait for a small place. The goulash is the feature and worth it.

    No, the food isn't the greatest thing I've ever eaten, but the location and ambiance make up for…read moreit, so a full on 5 stars. Also, we liked it so much that we went here twice! Located at The Prater amusument park, the Schweizerhaus is ENORMOUS! There is much more outdoor seating than in, and outdoor seating is actually easier to get! On our first visit, hubs had the Schweinhaxe (pork knuckle), a salad and 2 beers. I had the Schnitzel, Spargelsuppe (asparagus soup), and a coke. Hubs enjoyed his pork, and I enjoyed my Schnitzel, but the soup was outstanding! I had never had asparagus soup, and as it is a beloved springtime dish in the Germanic countries, I wanted desperately to try it. It was so creamy and the asparagus was cooked to such a tenderness, I almost wanted to get another bowl! On our second visit, we both got the Znaimer Gulasch, 2 beers, 1 coke, and a Powidltascherln. Again, everything was decent, but I preferred our first night's meal better. Each night was well under 100 Euros for the two of us, so it was definitely affordable. If I am ever lucky enough to be back in Vienna, I would absolutely come back here for a meal! 44/2025

    Cool atmosphere but disappointed by the food…read more I liked that it felt very old school... Lots of regulars and experienced wait staff. It was clean and efficient. My beer was good. On the negative side, I have had better wiener schnitzel in Ohio. It was below mid tier. No crisp, just vaguely mushy. Fries were good. For an amusement park it's good. For Vienna it's not good. So overall an average rating.
