Very good food, but slightly more pricey than other surrounding restaurants. It does help to have a reservation. I was a bit hesitant to have the chicken, but oh my gosh it was so so good. You could taste a little bit of lemon in the batter coating it and it was light and crispy. Just excellent. Potato salad was good... I find it interesting that every restaurant serves potato salad and a slightly different manner, but I've enjoyed every single serving. Despite the fact I'm not a big potato salad person.
We made a reservation, based on the recommendation of our tour guide. Although there was a line outside, we went to the desk and were seated immediately. We were served some water and we ordered wine. My dining companion had the fried chicken and potato salad, I had the beef ribeye steak with roasted potato's and herbed butter. I ordered my steak med-rare and it was perfect. Rosemary roasted potatoes were soft but crispy. The fried chicken was moist. The potatoes salad was half potatoes and half cucumber sour cream salad. Very good but not quite as good as some we had elsewhere. It is a little more $ than other places. However it was a very good meal. Service was attentive.
Came here during a couples trip a while back and with the nearby "place to go" restaurant backed up for hours, we were told to give this place a try instead. We were quickly given an outside table and we settled in with a beer as we awaited our meals. My wife ordered the boiled beef which came with a small bowl of soup and a side of potatoes. She enjoyed the meal along with the accompanying horseradish. I settled on the veal wiener schnitzel that came with a side of potato-field salad. The lemon squeeze certainly helped cut the richness of the breaded veal, and the cranberry sauce helped add a bit of moisture to the dish. Was just iffy on the potato salad, not a taste I was very familiar with. All in all a satisfying meal in a lovely setting.
While visiting Vienna, my hubby and I stumbled upon Lugeck. Our initial goal was to eat at a different restaurant that serves schnitzels; however, it was booked. Lugeck was packed and we assumed that since we didn't have reservations we would have to wait for a seat. To our delight, they had seating available, and we were seated quickly We red over the menu and decided to start with drinks. I opted for the Organic raspberry rhubarb soda and my hubby had a glass of riesling. My soda was not too sweet but it was refreshing and my hubby enjoyed his glass of riesling. Next, we ordered our entrees. I ordered the cauliflower curry. It came with rice and cashew nuts. I ended up ordering a side of rosemary potatoes as well. My hubby ordered the chicken schnitzel with rosemary potatoes as well. My food was decent. The curry needed more spices though. It was a little too bland for my liking. My hubby liked the schnitzel but he also said it could have used more seasoning. The potatoes were delicious though. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was informative and great suggestions. Our ratings are as follows: Organic raspberry rhubarb soda - 4/5 Cauliflower curry - 3/5 Rosemary Potatoes - 4/5 Riesling - 4/5 Schnitzel - 3/5 Rosemary potatoes - 3.5/5 Customer service was 5/5 for both of us. Overall we rate Lugeck a 3.7. If you are looking for average German cuisine in Vienna, this place could suffice.
Service was absolutely outstanding! Nadal was his name I I believe and he was so kind, friendly, funny, and got everything perfect with our meal! The ambiance was very cozy and fun! It was so busy on a Friday so I recommend making reservations! Really can't thank Lugeck enough for the best meal in Vienna!
Gorgeous restaurant! If you are traveling and need to try the schnitzel this is the place for you. The restaurant sits in this beautiful part of the city, partly secluded street. We had the schnitzel 8/10 which was perfectly cooked but honestly the potato salad 10/10 was the star of the show. I would eat that every day! Get a reservation, this place is incredibly popular
Our tour guide recommended Lugeck to us. It is located in the city center within a beautiful building with outdoor seating. We did not have a reservation, and we were seated right away outside. They have menus in English. It's a bit pricy, as the schnitzel is 26 Euro. But it was worth it. Our waiter told us it was the best. We also had a steak sandwich, and it has the most amazing bread. It was a cranberry rye, which was super crispy with superfoods. It was served with a small salad and cost around 17 Euros. Our waiter Alessandro was so nice and informative. He had great recommendations, and he even told us that their house made beer is the healthiest we would ever have. It was really good too. I would highly recommend Lugeck if you are in Vienna. Enjoy.
So happy we made it here. Made a reservation weeks before and we were instantly seated on the patio. Ordered the Steak Tartare with Avocado, the Signature Breads, the Lugeck Bowl, the Baked Goat Cheese Salad, and Weiner Schnitzel. Steak Tartare was served with avocado making the dish creamier than the classics preparation. Pairs well their bread. Lugeck Bowl and Goat Cheese Salad were hearty and fresh. Nice quality ingredients. The star of the show however was the schnitzel. Perfectly breaded veal and served with a slightly sweet, warm potato salad. I grew up eating German potato salad as a kid, so loved the throwback. Overall, a wonderful evening dining al fresco with a very attentive wait staff. In a city that some say is food challenged, I would definitely consider a table here.
This is one of the restaurants of the Figlmuller group. They are known for their veal wiener schnitzel that comes usually in an xl portion extending outside the plate: Part of the typical show but it also used to be very good. The restaurant was very busy on a week day and our table was on the second floor. The server was hectic and short. When he left at the end of his day, his replacement was not better. Another server was equally abrupt. The food was average : The wiener schnitzel lacked salt and had shrunk in size. The typical cranberry condiment did not come with it and we had to ask for it. The mixed salad had too much mayo( !) and the fried raviolis bathed in oil. The house wine was average. Given this experience and suspecting that this place has become a tourist place given the number of posters advertising it's dishes that one can see in several places in downtown, I will try to find other more authentic restaurants!

I was taken to that place by my friend for dinner. We were lucky to get a table since we didn't book. The ambient is nice and the staff is very friendly and professional. I wasn't that hungry so I was scheduled looking for something small and ended up with on of their special dishes (kaisergoulash) It was super fresh and super tasty. This place is highly recommended if you would like to enjoy some local dishes. read more

Alas my dining experience didn't live up to the raves that others have given this place. As a solo diner, I often feel that I get the shaft in terms of where I am seated. Just because I am dining alone does not mean that I want to be eating under the coat hooks (as I was at Lugeck) or behind a door, in a dark corner, or the like! At any rate, the service was extremely efficient--almost too efficient, at times. I felt like I was being rushed out of the place, with barely anytime to digest. The fried chicken was good but not great, and they seem to use a mixture of white and dark meat to make it. I also tried the spaetzle noodles, which were butter-laden and very rich, but still on the bland side. A side green salad was also heavily laden with an oily dressing. I obviously wasn't looking for a diet meal experience here, but I felt that the gratuitous use of heavy ingredients, paired with the lack of assertive seasonings, made the meal sit less pleasantly with me. read more

It's extension of original Figlmuller. No walk ins available on busy day at Figlmuller, but this sister restaurant is perfect to taste original Vienna schnitzel and house beer. read more
It's a great place to come by for a quick traditional Austrian meal. The food was okay and service was friendly towards the end, but for traditional Austrian food there were other places near by that were absolutely more flavorful and hearty. read more

We ended up coming here because figlmüller was only seating those with reservations and their other location was under renovations. Lugeck is also owned by figlmüller from my understanding. We came here after reading that figlmüller has the best schnitzel in Vienna. The restaurant is located in an wide open area downtown and has outdoor and indoor seating. We ordered the char tartare as an appetizer. The fish is in the same family as salmon if you're not familiar with char. The char was very fresh and is topped with a medley of vegetables. As a main I orders the Wiener schnitzel that they are famous for. I was highly satisfied with my first experience with schnitzel. The veal was lightly breaded and come served with lemon to squeeze on the schnitzel. It was also served with a side of potato salad which complimented the schnitzel well. Overall I was highly satisfied with the quality of food and would highly suggest to anyone looking to try some authentic Austrian food read more

Amazing food. I got the Wiener schnitzel meal (with this potato salad). The portion size was huge! The bread coating crumbled a little bit and the server took a while to get my bill, but overall it was good! Be prepared for a pricey menu as well! read more
During stay in Vienna it was obvious that we needed to eat Wiener schnitzel. I wanted to get the best one. Some people directed us to Lugeck. Indeed wiener schnitzel was delicious, the meat was perfect and kartoffel salad was great. The service was also very good. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Lugeck takes a modern twist to the classic Figlmüller Austrian cuisine. Large seating areas with chairs designed to make your table feel like its own little island. The menu has surprisingly weird and wonderful salads. I've tried both the Gebackenes Bio-Ei and Gratinierter Ziegenkäse. The fried whole egg was amazing, perfectly soft and creamy yolk on the inside. While not large salads, adding grilled chicken to the dish made it perfect for lunch. My husband ordered the Rosa Beiried sandwich both times. It's the perfect little roast beef sandwich snack. Lots of style here. Great place to take guests to have the classic Austrian offerings of Schnitzel, Gulasch and Tafelspitz, while you can enjoy something different! read more

Upon arrival in Vienna, I chose to go here because they served Austrian cuisine. The hostess and waiter were gracious and provided excellent service in spite of being an American needing an English menu The porcini ravioli was delicious as was the cucumber basil sprinter. Hope to have time to come back. read more

Good place to go to experience some solid Austrian food close to the main part of town so convenient as a visitor and you are in the area. Service was good and very quick, place is always busy so can seem a little like your being herded in and out. Food was good, had the chicken pieces and sausages, portions are typically big so more than enough to eat. Over all I didn't find it anything truly exceptional though. read more
