Eating at the brand new XXXL restaurant on the Mariahilferstraße might be the most surprising dining experience I have had this year. It certainly is the best value meal I can almost ever remember. Here's the scoop:
The famous Austrian store XXXLutz has opened up a stand-alone large restaurant on Europe's longest shopping street - Mariahilferstraße . The restaurant has two floors and several dining areas as well as a bar/counter. It is light and airy with lots of floor to ceiling windows. The service is very friendly despite the huge crowds. And for the month of December it is offering some difficult-to-believe special value meals via coupons. For example - a giant Wienerschnitzel and French Fries dinner for only 3 Euros. Why not splurge and have a leg of roasted duck with Knödeln for 5 Euros? These prices must be like 50 years ago. And the food is tasty. For dessert we were given a complimentary gingerbread heart. Of course these prices are temporary and celebrating the grand opening but they are in effect for a whole month and this restaurant is open every day of the week from morning till evening.
I think XXXL Restaurant will be a very popular addition to the ever popular Mariahilferstraße and the Westbahnhof Viertel. I def will keep it in mind when I am in the area - especially after their generous opening celebration. read more
