Great food and amazing location. We were looking for a traditional Viennese restaurant and this place was perfect. My father loved the liver soup and said he would go back for that alone. Everything was great! read more

Soooo this restaurant has amazing Austrian food, no doubt about that. The food is nothing aesthetic to look at, but it is just authentic, Austrian food with good flavors and the prices were very reasonable as well. The Wiener schnitzel, an all time classic, was large and perfectly fried, served with a side salad and some delicious potato slices. The liver with onions and mashed potato was fabulous and unlike anything I've tasted before!!! I've had liver before but this one was perfectly braised and they somehow managed to not over cook the liver which requires serious skill! Lastly, we got a braised beef with sauerkraut and dumplings, and the beef was tender, yet not overly salty. Everything I ate here was really impressive and I would highly recommend this place! The only bummer was there were plain Kaiser rolls on the table when we got there. We ate them thinking they were complimentary but no, they were unfortunately 1 Euro per roll. Of course if we had known it cost that we wouldn't have eaten it since it was just Plain bread. However, I later learned that most things in Europe cost money, (like restrooms) so I should've known better. read more

Reinthaler - Austrian food - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

My husband and I went to this restaurant for a lunch after our walk on the Danube. They had the holiday menu since it was Christmas day and we were surprised that anything in Vienna was opened. Unfortunately, we did not have any reservations so we were seated at the smoking section. Unfortunately, that hindered our dining experience. The food portions were large and fattening. I ordered the grilled pork on vegetables and my husband got the cordon bleu schnitzel. I thought the grilled pork would be a healthier choice, but I was misunderstood. What I got was grilled pork and in the pork was cheese, fried vegetables, and bacon. It was on top of bed of French fries. And the last bit was a chunk of butter that was melting on my grilled pork. It was delicious and as soon as I finished eating that I immediately regretted eating my breakfast. Just beware of large portion that can be shared by two people or make it your only meal of the day. The food is delicious and this is Viennese food. read more

Good Austrian restaurant just a little walk from St. Peter's church. I had a classic pork schnitzel which was huge, quite cheap and, most important, really good. read more

Excellent service and tasty schnitzel and reasonable prices made for a great experience!

It's been a while since I've visited this restaurant, but I remember the night like it was yesterday. The chilly wind was nipping our noses and the flood of warmth and bright light was a relief to us as we entered Reinthaler's Beisl. No no, I will not be writing a book, but this place is special enough to have a book written about it. My boyfriend and I were visiting a good friend in Vienna and he took us here, one of his favorite restaurants, to give us a taste of some real local food. The Schweinsbraten (roast pork) with dumplings and sauerkraut was simply out of this world. It's awesome when you can find 2 or 3 special and distinct flavors that are totally different but compliment one another so well, you know? Are you feelin me? Do you smell what I'm steppin in? But seriously. You had to get the three in one bite every time. That dish was delicious- there was a strong bite from the sauerkraut, but the pork with the sauce had a soft and comforting, even sweet flavor, and the dumpling just kinda tied it all together with it's creaminess. We also ordered a Wiener Schnitzel. It was huge and cooked wonderfully. I loved how crunchy it was, but the pork was also very flavorful and soft on the inside. Wow. So good. It was in November, so it was a bit chilly, and the feeling inside the restaurant was unbeatable. The lighting was just right and everything was warm and inviting. The walls were wood and it made the place comforting. Service was great, the beer and food was delicious. It made for a perfect night. read more

Very nice, authentic small restaurant in the heart of Vienna. I had an early dinner here that I enjoyed. The positives of this place are its location, the tasteful interior decorations, the reasonable prices, and the traditional Austrian dishes on the menu. It's a relaxing place to sit and there is no annoying music being piped in the restaurant and no TV screen to destroy the ambience. The food, though, that I ordered was extremely basic. I had their Goulash, which was a basic beef stew with boiled potatoes. That was it. Next time I would probably try something different. Service was very friendly and there were no waits, though I came in the late afternoon when it wasn't crowded. A large beer and the goulash came to only 13 euros. I would definitely come here again. Please be advised, though, it's relatively small so if you go at peak hours you may not get a table read more

Reinthaler - Wiener Goulash with boiled potatoes - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

This place is incredible. The environment of this restaurant/pub is so comforting, I really felt at home! The host was extremely courteous and he spoke English, so that was a big plus. I only knew how to say schnitzel, so that was a minus in my end! I had the schnitzel and erdapfelasalat - breaded pork cutlet and potato salad. DELICIOUS - best choice ever! It's not a set on the menu, but they're very flexible!! I would love to come here again! read more

Worst dining experience bar none. Solo traveling in Vienna for over a week- nobody else has tried to SIT ME AT A TABLE WITH A COUPLE ALREADY EATING. When I said Id wait for my own table he walks away and leaves me there. After several more minutes of being ignored- during which I should have just left - a waitress says I can sit around the corner. Low and behold theres a whole other room with MULTIPLE EMPTY TABLES- one of which is a small two person table. The waitress slammed my food down without and walked away without a word. The food was nothing impressive. Boiled beef was what I wanted for my last meal in Vienna, as its traditional. It was bland and the vegetables were crunchy and raw. They were sliced thin but Im guessing they didn't heat my soup up enough to cook paper thin vegetables? Cash only at a sit down dinner restaurant?! Why. No air conditioning- or at least I was sweltering even though it was cold outside. Other places surely have the same dish made better and with both human decency and hospitality. read more

Delicious and like homemade food. Very central and lovely location. Reasonably priced. Must pay cash only. I had beef soup with a liver dumpling as well as breaded mushrooms with tartar sauce. My friend had sausages on sauerkraut and potatoes. All delicious. read more

Excellent food and environment. The homemake sausage is delicious. The waitress has the nicest and kindest smile.

Excellent Austrian cuisine! After walking out of a museum at 6pm on a Sunday, we were determined to find one place still selling food. This one was a lifesaver! Even though the place was packed, they found us a seat, and the service was faster than in many less crowded restaurants. We ordered fish and boiled beef. Our plates were large, but barely came with any vegetables (hey, I'm a dietitian). There were plenty of salads that could be ordered in addition to our entrees, though. The beef came in a delicious broth, along with applesauce horseradish that really hit the spot. Many of the entrees are shareable if you're not too hungry. Highly recommended if you're looking for authentic Austrian dishes, or just a place that serves dinner late on the weekend! read more

We came here pretty late and I was bracing myself for: 1) impatient service because they were close to closing and 2) general terse Austrian service. Instead, they were so welcoming and patient with us, spoke English, didn't mind that we ordered table water to quench our thirst, even didn't flutter an eyelid when we asked to take home our leftovers. We ordered the schnitzel, boiled beef, wurst and liver and onions. My husband still thinks that their schnitzel was the best out of all the subsequent schnitzels. I really liked my liver and onions. My MIL was pleasantly surprised by her boiled beef. The kids weren't wowed by the wurst but my son liked his later street wurst better. All in all, I would say it was a great way to start off our trip to Vienna (even through we got stuck in the heat wave later). Good location, right off of Stephansdom, in the middle of everything. read more

Our first night in Vienna. Was walking through Old Town and yelped looking for somewhere to eat (famished after our 16 hour travel day). This gem was outstanding. For a Sunday night the place was packed but the host found us a table for two inside this throw back, all wood interior, that made me feel right at home. Chalkboard tiles had the menu items and the cozy atmosphere could have only been enhanced if there was some music in the background. While American, my heritage is German and Polish, and the food here was perfect. I ordered the Schweinsbraten and my wife ordered the Reinthaler Schnitzel with potato salad (chilled to perfection). Everything was fresh, hot, and the schnitzel was fried in fresh, hot oil, because it wasn't greasy at all. The Schweinsbratten was perfectly roasted, plenty salty, and the sauerkraut was nice and tangy. My dish also included a dumpling which was large and fluffy, i.e. it hadn't been sitting around too long! Traditional, well made food at under 12 € a plate, you can't go wrong. Well be back before we head out. read more

Was really good! We sat outdoors but inside it looks nice. Food and service were very good.

Found this place by yelp, the beef soup is the best meat experience I had in my life! (And this is not an exaggeration!) not a fan of the fried meat (schatchel?) The meat is tender and the soup is delicious! :) definitely a must try in Vienna read more

This was my first time here. We had to wait a bit as it was packed even at 15:00! I had the chicken schnitzel which came with a potato side salad. It all tasted good. Nice authentic cosy atmosphere. read more

Good, reasonably priced Austrian food. Q: How do you know it's Austrian? A: When you order the Chicken Cordon Bleu and it's served fried, like schnitzel. It's not fine dining and doesn't pretend to be. A little noisy, with tables close together, but manageable. Overall, the food was good - the bratwurst with mustard and smoked pork with dumpling and sauerkraut were pleasing and properly done. And it's cash only - no credit cards. read more

Thanks to yelp, we got a winner! (yay!) After walking around all morning, we built up the appetite for lunch. The outdoor seating was full so we sat inside. The decor had a home-y and comfy vibe, it was like visiting someone's house for lunch. So the usuals: beers and schnitzel, plus their lunch special (I'm sorry I don't remember what it was called... but it was roasted pork). The food was delicious, I actually miss it right now... it's making me hungry as I write this review... The staff was very nice and friendly, our server checked up on us from time to time. The price was reasonable, very centrally located. I'd definitely come back again if I have the chance :-) read more

My husband and I were on the first night of our honeymoon and were looking for a beisl (roughly translates to "pub") not too far from our hotel on the Ringstrasse. We found this place just beyond the Dorotheum Auction palace and knew we had found a winner once we stepped inside from the cold. Ceiling to floor wood paneled walls and antique lamps lined this restaurant's interior. The Lonely Planet Vienna book recommended for visitors to try a beisl to get a sense of more local, laid-back Viennese cooking so we were so happy to find this little gem. This beisl is right next door to the famous Cafe Hawelka which also deserves an additional review post of its own. For dinner, my husband had a goulash and I had the wiener schniztel. The schnitzel was probably the best I had on the whole trip and went done nicely with a pour of Gosser beer. We were coincidentally seated next to an older American married couple who was celebrating their 25th anniversary across Europe. You never know who you might meet while you are away from your home country. This beisl had very reasonable prices for both food and drinks as well as friendly service. I highly recommend having a later dinner here so you can linger over a beer or two with some Austrian grub while visiting the Inner Stadt. read more

A hidden gem right off the main square in Vienna. This restaurant has more of a local vibe and isn't noticed by many tourists. The sausages, schnitzels, and potato salad that we tried were all excellent - unfussy, simple, but delicious. The restaurant is pretty casual and filled with locals, so you know it's a good place. Prices were very fair and the portions were generous. It's a good place to try local cuisine without any bells or whistles. read more

Another restaurant that I visited both times that I've been to Vienna. I think it's a good sign that we had to wait for a table because the place was packed with locals for dinner. Good food, good service, and good prices for Vienna (I think the pork schnitzel was about 10 euro). The apple strudel was delicious as well. Good restaurant right off Graben read more

Reinthaler's Beisl is tucked away, just off the Graben, hidden from the bright lights of H&M and Montlanc stores. Once inside, you'll feel as if you're back in an Austrian weingut. Their food is good, authentic Austrian food; the weinerschnitzel is well-prepared, and the other dishes are great as well. And it is served with typical Austrian speed and efficiency. Before and after dinner, be sure to break away from the bright lights of the pan-Western shopping on Karntner Strasse and Graben. You're close to St. Stephen's, Mozart's apartment, the Albertina, and more. And be sure to always carry a bit of cash when you travel in Austria. Not all cabs or restaurants accept cards, and those that do sometimes do not accept American Express. read more

MUST VISIT! This restaurant was our first experience dining in Vienna (we arrived for dinner right after our flight). The staff and service was excellent but the food truly blew us away. The shnitzel was fantastic and was huge! The shnitzel meal also came with a delicious salad (you have to try the potato salad as well). Overall, if you are looking for an excellent meal, this is the spot for you. If I am ever back in Vienna, this will be my first spot! read more

For our first dinner in Vienna, we choose this restaurant based on our hotel's advice. It was an excellent choice! We knew upon arrival that our dinner would be good because the place was over-flowing with locals. Authentic Vienna food, homemade from scratch, reasonably priced (which is unusual in Vienna!). They only have one draft beer but offer a few choices of bottled beer. No credit cards. No WiFi. Menus have English subtitles. Located on a little side street from a major shopping district. Will definitely return before we leave Vienna!! read more

Reinthaler - Dunklers dark beer. If you like Guinness, you'll probably like this beer! - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

We went here on our first night in Vienna. I think we were the only tourists there. The food was very authentic, and delicious. The restaurant had a very homey feel and the service was prompt and courteous. Prices were reasonable, and they only except CASH. I had the schnitzel, and the pancake soup. The salad that came with this schnitzel is amazing. My nephew had the boiled beef and said it was delicious. My husband had the beef goulash and loved it. Highly recommended. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. The service was great, friendly and prompt. The menu was quite expansive and the food was good. Their drink selection was vast and the restaurant itself can accommodate a lot of patrons. We were seated immediately on a busy night. read more

Great fare. Not many tourists. Does speak English. We were going to have dessert but after waiting 20 min for my second drink and then another 20 min to be noticed again, we went elsewhere for dessert. Would have given5 stars if service was better. Cash only. read more

Authentic food at an OK price point compared to other places. We got a lot of food for 10 euros. I was surprised to see that the goulash stew is pretty much just braised beef with plain potatoes. Meal was very simple and your placed at a table with another couple sitting across from you. What I would consider a bare bones place. Sit down, eat, pay, and leave but the waitress was nice and very quick. Lots of Austrians were eating here so if you want to meet some locals this is a good place to go. Not sure if I'd eat here again but I was satisfied. read more

Great food and service! Highly recommended. Our server was up to good US level service. Prices were very reasonable. We had soup, goulash and schnitzel. Everything was very delicious. read more

Great food and very good service for a good price. We appreciated the friendly and attentive service. Food is plentiful so you might want to share a plate -- our waitress split the meal on two plates for no additional charge. Would definitely come back here. read more

Excellent meal with friendly attentive service. We had the boiled beef and goulash. No problems when I substituted spaetzle for boiled potatoes. We did share a table with a couple from Holland, but that made the meal even more interesting to talk with new people. Great location, excellent food and friendly staff. Highly recommend. read more

Whem wandering the Graben you cant go wrong with a stop at Reinthaler! Traditional Austrian choices abound on the menu, though I've had had better schnitzel at other places. This time around it was the sausage plate and sauerkraut... Good but not great and a bit on the greasy side. read more

A solid, genuinely Austrian meal. Depending on time of day, you may need to share a table with others. For us it only added to the authenticity of the experience as we got to share a meal and laughter with a group of Austrians that meet here weekly for dinner and beers. Good value as well. read more
