We (my fiance, myself & his fifteen year old daughter) arrived without a reservation & they found us a table anyway. Our waiter was incredibly charming, patient, efficient & fun. The atmosphere is great... no end of things to look at. Prices are very reasonable & portions are excellent, even if you're famished. The small order of ribs is big (enough for two of us)... can't imagine how big the large ribs must be... & perfectly prepared (moist & tender) with a really tasty dry rub. Everything we ordered was very well prepared & seasoned perfectly. We tried all of the homemade schnapps & were pleased as well. All the way around, it was a lovely evening thanks to the charm of the place & the staff. read more

Really cool little place we grabbed a few drinks here. The ambiance is casual and it feels like a hunting cabin. read more

Pürstner - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

Was told that all tables were reserved and nothing was available when there were literally two parties in the entire restaurant and a dead street. Probably should have read the reviews in detail before stopping by to see that many other parties of Asian descent had the same experience I had. Glad I didn't waste my time and money at this establishment. There are many other restaurants which serve great food and better represent the Viennese people. read more

The best goulash I had throughout my time in Europe! This place I found through the help of Yelp, and I'm really happy because it was one of the best restaurants I went to in my 14 days in Europe. It was about a 15 minute walk from our hotel, and it was neatly located in a little alley. There's outdoor seating, which was all reserved unfortunately. But the indoor was nicely decorated and kept clean, so it was no big deal. The menus are divided into three different languages: one of which was English. Our server spoke English, and he was incredibly nice. One of the nicest servers we met in Europe. The prices here from what I recall were varied, so you could spend a 8-10 euros on a meal, or you could spend much more if you wanted to. I went with the goulash and speatzel, which was a pretty cheap meal, and the goulash was fantastic. I don't know what they did to distinguish their goulash from the other 2-3 goulashes I had; all I know was that my taste buds liked it much more. And the speatzel was great with the goulash. It was just a typical dumpling that worked great with the heaviness of the goulash. Also, the great part was that I was looking for speatzel in Germany, and the few restaurants that I looked at didn't have speatzel. Oh, I also forgot to mention the serving sizes were BIG! You will certainly get your money's worth here. So a great value, plus a nice restaurant, mixed with great food and service, makes this place a fantastic place to eat. I could see myself coming back to this place if I lived in Vienna. read more

WE LOVE this place! It's our first visit to Austria and we were looking for authentic Austrian meal and this place delivered a home run! First of all, the waiters wear lederhosen and they are super cute to boot! Spare ribs are not to be missed, and the portions are pretty big. It seemed like most diners were locals which tells me that this place is pretty authentic. We were thoroughly impressed with the service as well. They were so helpful with the menu and not annoyed by us wanting to split the check. We are on a conference and we need separate receipts for reimbursement. Go here! You won't regret it. read more

It feels like an Austrian mother might actually be in the kitchen cooking dinner for friends and family, and you're just lucky enough that she allows you to come visit as her guest. Everything was delicious, service was prompt and friendly, and the unfiltered beer was delicious! read more

Pürstner - Corner table, place all to ourselves, late night meal! - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

Huge portions. Rustic interior but great prices and not too touristy/kitschy for lunch despite being in central Vienna. Everything was tasty. Goulash was not entirely warmed through which would normally be a red flag but flavor was great and everything else was on point, including spare ribs and the fried camabert/cranberry sauce. read more

Was advised by my hotel since we didn't find any reservation in the famous Figlmuler . I had the potato salad and veal shnitzel , which was perfectly made and served . Very generous with the potato portion. Staff are polite and nice Highly recommend for authentic Viennese food read more

If you like Austrian Cousine this is a great place to enjoy it. The place has a great selection of foods at very reasonable prices. We got a table at 18.00 just walking in, but shortly after it was fully booked. And that on a Thursday. Never the less, a great experience! read more

Solid restaurant in the center of Vienna for traditional Austrian food. There are a decent number of options on the menu, and the portions are extremely large - but at the same price as other restaurants in the area, so definitely more bang for your buck. I ordered the classic Wiener Schnitzel, and split it with another in my group. We were both satisfied. The spaetzle dishes also looked good, as did the ribs. The service was good; our waiter was not particularly friendly but made sure that we were taken care of. He was a very good English speaker. There were other tourists there but it did not feel that touristy, and it also wasn't too crowded. It's a great option if you don't want to deal with the waits and hordes at the more famous restaurants nearby. read more

Very nice decoration and staff. Amazing roasted ribs and potatoes. Recommend ribs to share.. read more

Very rude waiters. I forgot a bag and went 15 mins later but it was gone. Waiter was avoiding my queries. He was very rude and unhelpful since we already payed. His behavior was even suspicious. read more

Went to Pürstner with friends for a Saturday night dinner. We ate outside, which was pretty much our only choice as it was so hot in Vienna that night. Outside eating options seem to be limited to parties of about 5, but there appears to be lots of room for larger parties inside. Out waiter was helpful, patient and attentive. We started by ordering the pork ribs entree as an appetizer. I highly recommend you do the same if you have a party of about 4-6. We were all really impressed. I ordered the goulash with spätzle (Rindsgulasch) and couldn't have been happier. My friends ordered the Backhendl, the Schweinsfiletspitzen, and the Wäschermädlpfanne. All of the portions were generous and all of the reviews from others in my party we very positive. We enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine with dinner, which were perfect. Highly recommended. Fun group spot. read more

Pürstner serves some pretty authentic Viennese food and the portions are ginormous. If you care about your calorie intake, this is definitely not a place you can come eat at every day. For a group of 5 we ordered the Ratsherrnpfanne (pork with mushrooms and dumplings in a cream sauce), Original Wiener Schnitzel vom Kalb (breaded veal), and the Spareribs (which was a full rack). I highly recommend all three items. The waiter spoke English well and service was relatively attentive compared to other places in Vienna. read more

Great local fare in a neat touristy setting. Service was great and each of our meals met and exceeded our expectations.

Overall a very good meal. The ribs are huge (I got a half-order), tender, and tasty (but not as good as you'd get in Texas or South Carolina). I tried the Schweinsfiletspitzen (pork medallions in pepper sauce - very good), the schnitzel cordeon bleu (very good), and the goulash (the weak point of the meal - the waiter warned me that it wasn't great and he was correct). Also tried the signature dessert "nut cake" which was average. Overall a very solid meal - not great, not memorable, but not a disappointment. read more

Saw this restaurant had 4 stars and had an extensive menu of Austrian specialties so my family and I gave it a try. It turned out to be an excellent choice. Tried the goulash, taffelspitz (boiled beef) and schweinsbraten (pork with sauerkraut and dumpling). All were tasty. Kudos to our waiter, Harris. He was very attentive, friendly and had the foresight to provide us with things like extra plates for sharing without us even asking. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for an authentic Austrian meal. read more

Beautiful cozy restaurant. Food was hearty and delicious. Staff was lovely and kind to the children.

I've been here twice in one month, both times with groups of tourists wanting to sample traditional Austrian cuisine. Really delicious, hearty meals...the service is friendly, beer is great and food authentic. Prices are perfectly reasonable. Would definitely return...The spinatspatzel is super :). read more

Soup is very simple beef, noodle and veggie. No. Snails are not tasty. No. Pork in cheese pan -No. Blood sassuge pan is really good - yes. Portion is really big. read more

The very first thing they tell you is that "this is RESTAURANT", so if you here for just a few drinks and desserts, they would make sure to let you know that you are not really welcome. And that's at 3 pm when all tables were empty... read more

This was a nice find. I would really recommend this place for a good authentic Austrian meal. Very quaint. Not noisy. Loved it.

A beautiful place where you can find authentic local cuisine at reasonable prices.

Really good Austrian food. Close to the historic area, but just far enough away that it isn't as touristy as others. The waiter provided excellent recommendations. read more

You're not going here for a Michelin star feel; you're going here for 100% Viennese comfort food. Everything is excellent. The schnitzel and spätzle is to die for. read more

This place was next to our hotel, Appartement-Hotel an der Riemergasse (Also amazing) and the food was damn good. I wasn't a fan of Austrian food in general, most of the restaurants were average at best, but this place was fantastic. As an American, I'll say that Thai/Vietnamese/Mediteranean/Indian options blew away the native European fare, but that's neither here nor there. This place on the other hand was superb. Great relaxed atmosphere, great service with English speaking waiters, and unbelievable food make this a five-star restaurant at a relatively budget friendly option. More importantly, because it wasn't exactly on the touristy streets, many of the patrons were locals, which added to the atmosphere. read more
