Gayle and I were recently on a Viking River Cruise (the Capitals of Eastern Europe) and one of our…read moreexcursions was an evening of wine, food, and song at the Wiener Heuriger Wolff. Remembering a schlocky tourist tango show in Buenos Aires years ago, we were a little nervous about this one. But, Viking surprised us with this and other evening musical dinner shows that were actually culturally interesting and a log of fun. I wish I could write about the great tenor during our Serbian show in Belgrade or the folk dancing and dinner in Sofia Bulgaria later in our trip, but Yelp doesn't support experiences in those countries. Ditto for our stops in Hungary, Croatia, and Romania. But while you're poking around my profile, please read up on our Istanbul adventures which Yelp does cover. When the accordion player came out and started playing "show tunes", we paused. Yet, this guy was fun and engaging and really grew on us. The copious quantities of wine passed around might have also helped, but probably not. Like any wine tasting, there are OK vintages and pretty good ones. Nothing we tried made us want to buy a bottle to take home, but nothing was going back into the bucket either. Various plates of bread, cheeses, means, fruits, and other stuff came out which went well with the wine and kept us singing along with the accordion guy. I think he was tipped well and he deserved it. We also heard from one of the business owners who gave us a little more background, including pointing out the vineyards in the back that we couldn't see at night. The room featured lots of wood (tables, walls, etc.), medium lighting, and what this tourist might consider an classic country Vienna atmosphere. Maybe we could have done this sort of thing on our own, but there are clear advantages to package tours or even an individual tour by a local. And if you are local, there are other dining room and bar areas away from the tourist likes of us. And more places like this up and down the street.

They poured several Viennese wines and provided bread, cheeses, meats, and fruit, along with some pretty fun accordion lead entertainment. The tables were set when we arrived and the food was waiting for us, charcuterie style. The business owners welcomed us into their little restaurant the has been around for hundreds of years. The tables were thick and sturdy with strong benches alongside. The room was not brightly lit, but that added to the old world atmosphere. Everyone was participating in the sing alongs which made for a really fun evening! This place is a great option if your looking to experience some Austrian style food, wine, and fun!

This heuriger was so accessible to the central parts of Vienna--it was only one transfer us via tram and a short 30 minute ride and a ten minute walk from the stop. I love the history attached with the winery--Beethoven supposedly was living here when he wrote his 9th symphony. The food was fantastic particularly the side dishes--roasted potatoes, sauerkraut like I haven't had before, pickled peppers with cream cheese, roasted vegetables. The bread as in Austria was wonderful as well. The meats were good as well and particularly liked the schnitzel. The wine was really good, we were a bit worried with it being young wine but enjoyed it especially with soda water. Our 17 year old enjoyed being legal in Austria and partook of it a bit too generously :). The interior was clean and comfortable with its traditional wooden tables and benches. Dessert was wonderful too with a chocolate molten cake and cream strudel..,. if we lived there could imagine coming here for regular family meals... wish they had such lovely welcoming spots where we live!

I'm aware that Yelp is less popular in this area, so when the most-reviewed places nearby were all booked for the night, I was starting to lose hope. Then my dad looked up from my phone screen and pointed this place out, and we were very much in luck, as they seated us almost immediately as one of their last of the night. We had gotten into a habit of ordering beer with essentially every meal on this trip, so without hesitation, we did so here. It occurred to me later that this was a wine bar and that we should have tried some Austrian wine, but the beer was as good as we expected. I reviewed the specials menu and my eyes immediately landed on the pumpkin cream soup, and yes I am a basic white girl from California so I do order a lot of pumpkin around fall (and this was back in fall, whoops). It was a soup that was elevated by the ingredients not being overly processed, and hit the spot on this slightly chilly September night. I had also started to grow tired of having meat, bread, and cheese everywhere we went, so I decided on another special for my entree: the linguine with crayfish. I have to admit that it doesn't appear to be that appetizing, and if you are uncultured like me you may be wondering "how is this dish Austrian," but despite those things it was surprisingly delicious. We finished up with an apple strudel, which really hit the spot. Flaky and warm, and complemented by a scoop of vanilla ice cream, was the perfect way to end this long day of touring. The service was polite and attentive as well, which as Americans we really appreciated, especially because we started dinner quite late. It was also super cute and charming, even sitting outside at night, because of the quieter side streets here and the string lights that illuminated the walkway.
