Worth a go if you're looking for a solid Viennese meal. We were able to walk in to get a high table top table but after us there was only bar seating for walk in's. They may seem half empty at times but that's because most tables are reserved. The soup with fried pancakes was delicious. Flavorful soothing broth and the cancels had good textual chewz The tafelspitz was overall tasty. While on its own it can get a bit one note, if you pair it with the sauces and potatoes, it's a wonderful mix. Service is fine, but food is delicious and a local nearby rightfully raved about it
Stopped in here after seeing some good reviews. The Schnitzel and the Veal Liver was outstanding. Highly recommend coming and giving this place a shot. And the inside is super cool looking. The service was wonderful as well. They have English menus for us Americans!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!

Little hole in the wall but this place is worth it! It did not disappoint. The food we ordered was all delicious! Fast service and we were taken in without a reservation before lunch hour rush starts. read more
Came here after seeing excellent reviews on Yelp. Not impressed. Waited about 15 mins to get seated even though multiple tables were empty. The staff is limited and looks exhausted. 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. read more

What a find! Slightly away from the tourist hub, this cozy restaurant is just the place to enjoy local food, beer and wine. We enjoyed two soups and the schnitzel - everything was delicious and in large portions. The local white wine and local beer was also tasty! Service was perfect - welcoming of tourists, when we were there, it appeared only locals were dining. Great place to Austrian food in an unhurried, atmosphere. Highly reccommend! read more

this place is more like a 4.5 out of 5 stars. one of our favorite meals in vienna. Delicious, decently priced and cozy restaurant feeling. We didn't make reservations, but we got lucky and got seated right at the bar. It was crowded the night we went, but service was fairly quick. We got goulash, schnitzel, and some pate. We also got beer and some lemonade. Everything was delicious and the food was very filling. I really liked how simple the schnitzel was. The breading and the amount they served was great. They provide half a lemon to be used on the schnitzel, and it made it pop. the schnitzel also came with some sort of potato salad, and its very different than the american potato salad we're used to. The beef goulash was savory and the bread they give you is great to soak up the sauce. I wish i got a salad dish, as everything was a bit heavy. Definitely will be back when i return to Vienna. read more

Found this place on Yelp and we had a wonderful dinner. I felt I had to try Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna but it probably wasn't the best thing on the menu. The roasted veal in gravy and the salads were amazing. The veal filet looked incredible. We enjoyed wonderful wine and the service was attentive. It's close by to a lovely square and the Stadtpark was a short walk away. read more

Best food we had in Vienna. We arrived around 6pm on a Tuesday, and the place was already full. It's a small restaurant with only a few tables and a bar, so I would highly recommend reservations. We sat at the bar until a table opened up. The bartender did not smile much, but he turned out to be wickedly funny once we started a conversation. We ordered the beef goulash, veal liver, stuffed pepper, and the rump. All had amazing flavor, though in my opinion the goulash could have used a starch or a side to contrast with the meat and sauce. The liver was especially exceptional. I have never been a big fan of liver before, but something about this dish made the harsh aftertaste absolutely delicious. I was truly amazed. For dessert, we had the chocolate soufflé and cream cheese dumplings with apricot jam. Both were good, but not very sweet to my American taste buds. My Chinese parents, however, weee huge fans. Service was punctual and efficient. The language barrier made the servers seem a bit rough at first, but they were very responsive and friendly in all interactions. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. We will be back next time we are in Vienna! read more

Late dinner after a concert. In the area, this spot was open until midnight. It's another one of those you should have a reservation for. This place was packed around 10 pm on Christmas Day. Once inside it is way bigger than it looks. Portion sizes huge. Neither of us could get half way through our entrees. We should have share one. The roast pork slices were thick, well seasoned. I loved the crusty outside. The sides were a braised cabbage and two "cakes". The cakes were like slices from a log of stuffing. I was seated in the back left dining area. Seating is tight. There are hooks above you for coats. And the table lights swing over so you don't hit your head getting in and out. Bread basket will just appear, and you are charged about 3€ per person for it, or call it a surcharge. Other menu prices seemed in line. read more

Lovely place, small and quaint, with local food, wine and house made brew. We had both beers and they were traditional in style to the area, and pretty solid (if you're an American coming here and expecting craft brews like in the U.S.A., you're the problem). We tried the schnitzel and it was one of the better ones we've tried while traveling the area, but not the best. The biggest complaint was the breading was coming off very easily. Other than that, the potato soup was absolutely delicious, as was the potato salad. We tried 2 local Austrian wines with meal, bartender's recommendation, and they were very solid and reasonably priced. Would recommend and visit again! read more
