I was utterly charmed by this place, and it's one of my favourite restaurant memories ever. I was…read morevisiting Vienna from Los Angeles with friends, and we spent the day at the cemetery nearby - I don't think we would have found this spot otherwise. It's a quaint place: an old-fashioned building, eclectic décor, candlelight, pewter serving platters. We ordered beers, served in tall steins, and plates of schnitzel that the menu said was served with "a potpourri of salads". The schnitzel was AMAZING. It's one of the best meals I had in Europe (and we dined at Michelin star restaurants on our trip). The potato, vegetable, and condiment accompaniments were perfectly paired. The Austrian beer we tried, Edelweiss, was great. Note - the furniture is old. If you're not a bumbling boor, this won't be a problem, but one annoying person in our group thought he'd be cute by dramatically falling back in his chair when I asked him to move so I could take a picture of the empty dining room. The chair wobbled and he thought it was buckling, so he slammed his knees up under the table, knocking over his tall, full beer. I was so embarrassed that the staff had to bring a towel to mop it up, and they declined to replace it for free as his stupidity caused the spill (not that I blame them one bit). He didn't want to add another charge to the bill, so he got to sit and watch us devour that delicious schnitzel with our beers as he stared at an empty glass. Schnitzel with a side of schaedenfreude.

The Concordia Schlössl is an out-of-the-way Viennese treasure. Located down in Simmering across…read morefrom the Zentralfriedhof, this old establishment has lots of charm. For example, the dining rooms don't have electricity - just candlelight in the evening or the natural light coming through a stained glass skylight during the day. On warmer days, there is a large gastgarten outside to take advantage of. And what about the food? Well schnitzel is king here. There are many variations including their own unique cornflake encrusted rolled schnitzel called the Concordia Super Schnitzel. With its lentil, salami, and cheese filling, it's very tasty. Try it! And for dessert - don't miss the Topfen Palatschinken! I don't really know how to translate this into English but don't worry - your taste buds will!! So if you are looking for a unique dining experience in Vienna, put the Concordia Schlössl on your list.

Several products are bio and they even shoe on the menu their suppliers (all local). They also have a daily menu which changes depending on the season.

The restaurant has multiple daily lunch meals (Mon.-Fri) that are really delicious and the portions are very big. The lines due tend to be a bit long during lunch hours, but slow down around 1300.

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.

Food dreams can be restored in future nights to come. I guess I just did not care what anyone thought. I took pics anyway. I just thought I was being sensitive to other patrons. Let's just say I tried to not be too obnoxious about it. So, yes I did consume with my camera first! I can say with absolute certainty, that this was our most perfect and intimate dining experience in Vienna. It was just lunch! The surrounding patrons appeared to be locals with huge platters of piping hot Wienerschnitzel, succulent looking meat falling off the bone....oh my, I could go on and on. Lord help me, that was a great experience. I ordered an exquisite Riesling that was perfect with my meal. I ordered the Goose Soup to start with. I shake my head now in disbelief of how perfect this soup was and LUSCIOUS. It had this potato dumpling in the middle that absorbed the creamy broth with every single bite. I was sad to see the dumpling and soup go away as I savored every spoonful. My husband had a potato soup that included mushrooms and he was pretty much freaking out about his soup as much as I was (in his own, subdued, calm manner....opposite mine!). Then Meine Damen und Herren. We have the Weinerschnitzel. Oh my goodness. We split the massive and simply prepared veal weinerschnitzel with the lemon wedge squeezing the only and perfect seasoning you need for this deliciousness in front of you. I cannot even express the greatness of the potato salad that accompanies. Smooth and creamy mustardy goodness. I would seek out this restaurant again. If every authentic Keller type dining experience is this good in Vienna; I am in big trouble!
