    From a place offering a tasting menu with wine pairing I expected something like a fine dining experience, but I got just normal average food without any extra experience for above-average price. “Chef's Choice" is rather a random selection of 4 available dishes + a dessert to justify 59€ price. Everything was nice, but without a spark or a twist: it may look expensive, but tastes just okay. Wine pairing was also ok, the wines were okaish; for some reason once the staff poured another kind of wine in the glass we just emptied… So, food-wise the experience was not were and were rather random. The overall experience was compensated by nice service. I would recommend to order à la carte and avoid tasting menu. 100€ per person is better to spend for a lunch in a Michelin star place.

    A wonderful dinning experience. From the process for booking a table even before arriving in Vienna, to the friendly and professional team, speaking perfect English. And the food… ugh, such a delicious treat. Definitely recommend. But book in advance. The place gets filled up for dinner quickly even during the week.

    The place is amazing, with candle lights, and beautiful decor. The staff is extremely welcoming and gentle. We had a schnitzel and is for sure one of the best in my life. The waitress (I think she call Susi), was also amazing!!! Sure I will be back!!!

    Everything in this place is awesome. Booked a place a few months in advance to have Christmas dinner here and it was a great choice. The service is really good, staff is very warm. Ambience is chill and relaxing. Wine selection is great and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend a stop here for a special evening!

    Amazing ambiance with darker room (didn't get to sit outside) and great cozy feeling with nice decorations. Location is great as well. Just make sure you follow through in the alley. The service by Jillian was amazing. He was respectful and patient. Tried the veal schnitzel and I was blown a away by how crispy and yet tasteful it was. Will try again.

    Nice place with generally good food taste and quality. The pumpkin soup is yummy. The pasta ragu has a lot of truffle and truffle oil that was too much of taste to extend i could not eat. The fillet steak was good and grilled to order. Also the fish was good and tasty. Overall the food is good except for the pasta.

    Struggling to pick a restaurant in Vienna? Not anymore. ef16 is a must-try! Food - We did the 5-course chefs menu and it did not disappoint. Every dish was expertly crafted and delicious in every detail. I didn’t know a soup could be so good. And of course the schnitzel is a must - a dish I don’t think I would like and am now dreaming of. Service - Superb. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, conversational and even wrote out a few sights for us to see after our meal with directions. Atmosphere - Warm, elegant and everything I love about European restaurants. Perfect for a memorable experience I repeat, do not skip ef16 if you’re looking for a fine dining experience in Vienna.

    Had a lovely dinner tonight. Susi, our server, was fantastic. We loved the atmosphere and was a short walk from the metro. The food was good. We ordered the beef roulade and veal schnitzel.

    If you're looking for the best Wiener schnitzel in Vienna, look no further than ef16 Restaurant Weinbar. The schnitzel was absolutely delicious, with a perfectly crispy crust and a tender and juicy center. The meat was high-quality and it was seasoned to perfection. The side dishes were also excellent, particularly the potato salad. The wine selection was also great, with a variety of options to complement the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and intimate, with a friendly and attentive service. The staff was very knowledgeable about the dishes and the wines, and they made sure that we had a great experience. Overall, ef16 Restaurant Weinbar exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Wiener schnitzel in Vienna. Loved every minute! Highly recommend!

    We have had a special birthday celebration with our guests from Chicago. Great food, great service. And you will not believe it, a local nice guy went in who has birthday the same day but was born in the same year as well. People from Vienna are soooo nice. Thank you Hans & Natascha and Thomas and Karin. Lovely people. The World needs more of you.

    Atmosphere : too dark and crowded for Vienna. The circulation of air inside is worrisome Food : presentation better than the taste, the chef seems to seek for creativity, unfortunately, it’s a failed trial. Most food can barely be regarded “not horrible” Wine : the waitress didn’t care to introduce the wine she served. Anyway, the wine paring is not recommanded. Price : way too expensive Overall : a little better than average

    Excellent!! The best meal I’ve had in Vienna. Every dish was outstanding as was the service. The outdoor dinning is in a lovely courtyard

    It’s totally overpriced. The waiter said to me she can give me a bigger portion because I took a soup and beef tartar but she charged me 9 euros extra for this! This is the price of another dish! That’s really rude. The beef tartar was now more expensive than the main dish.

    I recently went to Ef16 wine bar for the second time, and let me tell you, it was terrific. We decided to go all out and try their four-course menu with wine pairings (Austrian wine), and it was a delightful surprise. If you are up for a culinary adventure and want to treat yourself to something special, Ef16 wine bar is the place to go. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Just be ready to be surprised and delighted by their menu. It's worth every penny!

    The most amazing experience on our very first night in the beautiful city of Vienna! The staff is extremely courteous and accommodating and the food is heavenly! They will make you feel really special as soon as you enter the place and everybody is so polite and well mannered that you won’t feel rushed even if you’ve arrived late. They kept a super cozy place reserved for us even though we were late by 40 minutes and yet welcomed us with great gusto! I know I’m going to make a reservation again and again whenever I’m in Vienna! Highly recommend this beautiful and cozy restaurant!

    Went there with a group of 9 people on a Friday night with a reservation (reservation is a must as It got quite busy), they accommodated even several changes to our reservation (thank you die that flexibility). Service was mega attentive und friendly. Food was really good - we had menus of 3 and 5 courses. Wines great, too!

    It is indeed the best veal schnitzel we’ve had!! A bit tender and not dry at all. Totally changed our perspective about schnitzel! The veal ragout tagliolini was amazing as well. We cleaned our plate. Prawn tartare and goat cheese starters were also tasty! For dessert, we’ve had the tiramisu. It is not bad but we wouldn’t say it’s the best.

    Wow! Had been looking for some classic roasted Viennese chicken and luckily stumbled on this gem of a restaurant… where to start….cucumber soup, grilled calamari, deconstructed hand cut steak tartar and the best ever Serviettenknödel… a classic dish done the best ever way… sooo delicious! Won’t disappoint! Outstanding service to boot!!! Attentive and not overbearing!!!

    A must try! ef16 is a small restaurant but it has a lovely atmosphere. The food and service are both incredible. I would highly recommend the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairings. The dishes on the menu are a surprise from the chef so they can change between visits. If you have any allergies or dislikes, the chef will take this into account. I would definitely recommend visiting but be sure to book in advance. If I return to Vienna I'll definitely be going again!

  • 5/5 Mikey P. 2 months ago on Google • 53 reviews New
    A little gem of a restaurant tucked away like a secret world with a lovely low-lit romantic feel. Service was superb and my beef roulade was exceptional. No wonder it’s booked up solid, so book early!

  • 5/5 Tus1234 3 months ago on Google • 26 reviews New
    Great atmosphere and had a friendly welcome. Service was great! I got the Veal schnitzel, which came with a portion of potatoes. Food was excellent. The veal was tender and had a nice crispiness to it. The veal is quite large and can be shared if you need it to be.

  • 5/5 Benny j. 1 month ago on Google • 25 reviews New
    I had one of the best meals of my life here. My friend wanted to try Schnitzel - I'm vegan, and the menu wasn't too vegan friendly, however the incredible service staff said that they would have the chefs prepare something vegan with the fresh produce they had in stock in the kitchen. What came out was absolutely divine. Started with a pickled apple and walnut salad, followed by a saffron and beetroot risotto with seasonal veg, peppered with lemon and ginger gel/concentrate. It blew my head off, thankyou so so much. Oh, and the atmosphere was lovely - softly lit by candlelight, with a red and white interior and comfy seats.

    This was the first meal we had while visiting Vienna and was one of our favorite meals! Our server Julian was wonderful and took the time to explain everything in English for us. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Detti 1 year ago on Google
    Very tasty food, nice service, good vine! You have to reserve a table weeks in advance because they are always full ;)

  • 5/5 Vladimir 6 months ago on Google
    Nice decor. They were able to find a table for us without reservation. Great food (veal cheek) and deserts. Service was outstanding. Cover was €3.5/person.

  • 5/5 Andrea B. 4 months ago on Google
    Great food, nice atmosphere. Waiters very kind. We got three kind of pumpkins as a starter, duck, vebison ragout and apple crumble. Everything delucious.

    Very nice evening there, 5 course surprise menu was very good, Susis service was wonderful, Ken even sang a happy birthday for my wife, she loved it.

    It's been our first visit to ef16 the other night. We had duck breast, truffle lasagna and the dessert variation. The food was very delicious, perfectly cooked for our taste and the service was excellent. We'll make sure to come back again when we return to Vienna. P.S.: Sascha was our waiter and he made us feel very special. Greetings from Romania! :)

  • 5/5 שרה �. 2 years ago on Google
    We didn't made reservations but still they were able to find us a table. Very nice and welcoming staff. We took the 4 course chef choose and enjoyed every second. Very recommended definitely will go back next trip.

  • 5/5 Douglas P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nicely prepared courses by professional Chef. I added the wine paring and it was a great choice. You may have to search for this gem (that is hidden off of an alley), but your search will be rewarded. Did I mention the excellent service? That too was wonderful.

  • 5/5 Saaki W. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and service! I highly recommend this place! My husband ordered the grilled Octopus and loved it! He said it was 10/10! I ordered the pumpkin soup for starter which was delicious. For main we had the Beef fillet and Sea Bass. Both were great!! The staff were very friendly and we had a lovely experience! We are definitely going back here again!!

  • 5/5 Karen 4 years ago on Google
    Excited to have celebrated our anniversary here. Although the restaurant was fully booked, our server was attentive and ensured we were enjoying our meal. We were delighted with everything we ordered and had a fabulous evening. Make sure you make a reservation as we saw over 20 customers being turned away at the door!

  • 5/5 Ahmed El B. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food, grilled octopus was amazing; very friendly service. Best meal in Vienna

  • 5/5 Cpchurch87 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent meal, with equally excellent service. Many thanks to Susi for ensuring we had a great night, and for picking our wine perfectly. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Christa R. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I loved our meal here. The truffle butter with bread was amazing!!! I couldn’t stop eating it. We shared the risotto with prawns and it was delish and seasoned so well. We both had the filet with pumpkin mash and chocolate chili sauce. AMAZING. The vibe is romantic. Love the wall art. Enjoyed every tasty moment with my husband. Best meal in Vienna that we have had. Attention to detail was in point. Clean and well appointed bathrooms. Great date night meal. Thanks!!!

  • 1/5 Yolanda M. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful local, but slow service and tiny amounts of food for the very expensive food. Not good enough to justify the prices either. I don't recommend it.

  • 4/5 samira v. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was good, cute traditional restaurant service was a bit long. If you want to try a typical nice restaurant I definitely suggest that you try this one. Try their goat cheese salad and Lambs. Their schnitzel was a bit salty though, Corn chicken was good.

  • 5/5 Ladislav O. 2 years ago on Google
    If you like classic austrian kitchen, not heavy as it happens somewhere by classic austrian food, the big menue of wines, excellent local beer and very cosy interier, you are on right place. The price of the dinner for four person, with everything including bottle of not cheap wine, cost us 180€. The reservation needed, for such quality restaurant not surprise. Service of course simply super!

  • 5/5 Juliia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cosy place. With great food and service 🤍

  • 5/5 Matthew P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a wonderful, romantic hidden gem in the heart of Vienna! Definitely recommend to couples visiting the city.

  • 4/5 Yasmin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and a really nice atmosphere. The Veal Schnitzels were very tasty but the potatoes on the side weren’t to our taste. Lovely rose wine too.

  • 5/5 Alfred 2 years ago on Google
    I proposed to my girlfriend last night at ef16 restaurant and I couldn't have chosen a better location. The food is absolutely delicious, and also the waiters were very friendly and attentive. They prepared a beautiful table, very romantic, everything exceeded my expectations. Thank you again for everything you did.

  • 5/5 Pete s. 10 months ago on Google
    A really good experience. The place is small but always busy - has a great collection of food and drinks. Went for my bday and it was well worth it. We tried the secret course menus and each dish was nice.

  • 3/5 Georgeta N. 9 months ago on Google
    Three of us ordered for dinner chicken, mushrooms and polenta, the plating presentation was decent, food maybe high quality but bland taste, the portions were small and the price was super high, not justified. All of us left hungry having another dinner elsewhere . The service was good.
