    Very popular amongst locals, very busy, and very good for people watching. The menu is simple but our meals were perfectly prepared and presented, schnitzel and risotto, and the four petit fours we tried were all delicious. Thank you to Michael who looked after us well and was gracious in the heat and bustle.

    First meal in Vienna. Went for dinner at around 6:30pm on a Thursday evening. I ordered the buffalo mozzarella rocket salad and the veal goulash. The food was decent, but not amazing. Albeit I may not have ordered their best dishes. My experience was tainted as It was very difficult to get the waiters’ attention to order, even the Austrian couple next to me had noticed my difficulty. One of the waiters in my section had passed my table 7-8 times. By the 8th pass, I gave him a big wave and asked if I could order. While walking past he raised his voice and said “I will take your order later”. As the restaurant was busy it would have been understandable, had he not served other tables who had arrived much later than me and took time to chat to the other diners and pour them drinks. Finally after 25 minutes a waitress took my order and was kind enough to check up on me when the food was slow to arrive. Coming from Australia, you definitely don’t tip if service is bad or mediocre and I did not realise tipping was a given here. When I chose not to tip, the waitress’ attitude soured. She gave me a dirty look and didn’t respond when I said “thank you very much”. I know for next time to always tip. :|

    Probably the best “all day” cafe-restaurant in the city. Elegant environment of a classy Viennese spot since…forever. Their cuisine and beverages are of a high quality and all tasty. Our favorite place!

    Stopped by for light lunch. These brötchen were really nice. Tasted great and they looked beautiful too! The interior of the restaurant was also cool, old style that was maintained really well.

    Went here on a winter Sunday for lunch in the restaurant. (they also have a cafe) Classic interior with white linnen tablecloth, napkins and silver cutlery. Menu is made up of Austrian favorites, some vegetarian options. Food quality and taste are very good, serving sizes are European, reasonable prices. I had the best Palat Schinken in my 11 months living in Austria. Service is brisk, staff are classic style waiters very knowledgeable and fluent in English and German. Quite a number of tourists as guests, also families with young children. Dogs are also welcome. Location in a upmarket part of Vienna. Reservations for the restaurant are advised.

    While I like their menu and wine list I don' t appreciate how rude the staff can be. It' s always a busy place, I get that, however, it does not entitle the staff to be dismissive and brute. I don' t think I am coming back.

    This place came recommended, but overall the experience was forgettable. The food was good, for Viennese food, but the service was absent. Would have ordered more wine, but the waiter never came back after our first course. The atmosphere was hectic as well, and would not be a place I would come to enjoy a calm meal.

    This is a must try in Vienna if you are there. The quality of the service is excellent, the quality of the food also excellent, and the atmosphere is amazing whether you sit inside or outside. The menu is not huge but everything on it is good. Their salad ingredients are very fresh and tasty. Their Weiner Schnitzel is amazing. The way they make their meat is incredible. Make sure you also have their dessert. Their selection of wine is one of a kind.

    Great service, great ambience, the Wiener Schnitzel is really really great , please try the Käsefleisch as a starter. Very clean, food tasty and personnel very friendly. One of the best to try really Austrian food and then buy some delicacies from the store.

    I came to Vienna with my family and boyfriend and we had lunch here. From the beginning the service was very bad and quite aggressive. We asked if they had a table and there response “ inside or outside, we have free sitting” in a bad tone. Then my dad got a bug in his drink and we asked the waiter to change it and he said it wasn’t a bug and was arguing about it but then changed the cup. When asking about a dish, I asked if they could take out the olives because I’m allergic and he said aggressively no. The food itself was not too bad but not good as well. Normal. Nothing special. I wouldn’t come here to eat again and would not recommend it. I think there are much nicer places to eat at, with better food and service.

    Wonderful meal in an atmospheric & traditional setting. Reservation definitely essential for the restaurant at the back. Service was excellent. Menu was traditional Austrian but well presented and refined.

    There is nothing better than entering an institution, a place with so much history and development in its culinary ways and the journey through time, someone's idea that has lasted and continues to grow and move forward with the times. Fantastic.

    Nice place, has the feeling of an old fashioned, history breathing establishment. But tasty coffee and lovely breakfast options (which I enjoyed). They're also open for lunch and diner. Often very busy though.

    Nice Vienna food and relaxing to sit outside to enjoy it (with a cold glass of local beer). Great place to people watch, especially all the rich Russians here. There is a nice shop inside for sandwiches and pastries that you can directly go get. A bit on the pricey side though for what you get.

    Wonderful upmarket (but well priced) Vienna restaurant. They have a cool selection of finger foods and amuse bouches/petit fours at the counter that you can select from! The Wiener Schnitzel is very nice as well

    Loved it. We got an excellent wine recommendation. The sandwiches and the sweets we delicious. I am looking forward to coming for breakfast or dinner here again.

    Bustling bistro with a wide menu of local favorites and drinks. Inside, they have a portion of their menu in a nice showcase to order from. When we dropped in - had the local "ham", delicious. The shaved horse radish gave it a nice flavor kick. Sparkling wine was a local varietal amongst the broad selection to choose from.

  • 5/5 Aziz H. 5 months ago on Google • 55 reviews
    This restaurant is a fantastic option for a quick bite and is famous for the Viennese style open faced sandwiches. They also serve traditional Viennese cuisine, so you will have plenty of options. My sandwiches were delicious! Make sure to check out their convenient store section, which is pretty nice.

    One of those places that no matter of the season outside it's always crowded. Delicious food. They have really good wines as well. The service is good as well. One of my favorite stops when I am staying in Vienna.

  • 4/5 Manos 1 year ago on Google
    Great location. Surprisingly there was queue to sit outside, but lots of empty tables inside. Bear in mind I visited the restaurant in December! Service was nice and quick although no one took us to our table, I had to ask. Menu was small but I was looking Viennese food so it delivered on that!

  • 4/5 Larmar L. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant is located on the pedestrian zone in the city center. It is almost always completely full, so it is best to reserve a table in advance. Despite the fact that it is always full, the service is nice and fast. They also serve a variety of other sandwiches with spreads, and we recommend punch cubes from the cakes. Yum.

    This place was very happening, even on a Wednesday night. Reservation is highly recommended, although we were able to snag a same-day reservation. Our experience started a bit choppy - upon arrival, there was no hostess to check you in. The place was very disorganized, which is ironic for a society that follows strict orders. Although we had a reservation, we had difficulty flagging anyone down to check-in for a table. Once we got seated, the service did become much better. The restaurant offered both tasting menus (72.50 euros and 98.50 euros) and a la carte. Since we weren’t too hungry, we decided to order from the menu. For appetizers, we both enjoyed the intense beef soup and the ham dish. The presentation on the ham was outstanding. Both dishes were delicious but met expectations (I guess it is hard to surprise our palates given we are from NYC). For entrees, we went with the most traditional Viennese dishes - schnitzel and beef goulash. I didn’t have a very good experience with goulash when I visited Prague a while back. The goulash here, while it didn’t change my mind much, was better than the experience I had in Prague. But okay to skip unless you are a big goulash fan. The veal schnitzel was surprisingly light and flavorful. The portions were huge tho, so it can easily be shared by 2. The sommelier helped pick out wines that paired well with our dishes. At the end of the meal, our bill was 120 euros with two appetizers, two entrees, and four glasses of wine (plus the cover charge of 4.5 euros each). From the pricing standpoint, this was definitively a great experience. But did the food here blow my mind? Certainly not…

    Top place i Vienna since 17 century! Can you imagine? Great wine list and delicious food. Wiener schnitzel a must. Perfect for breakfast too.

  • 4/5 Boaz G. 2 years ago on Google
    Took off one star as the service wasn't great, no warmth. Goulash was delicious.

  • 3/5 aleksandra k. 9 months ago on Google
    the location is great, the decor is beautiful, but the 3 cakes we tried did not meet my expectations. The cakes look wonderful, but the taste is not up to par.

  • 5/5 Katsiaryna P. 7 months ago on Google
    Such a cute place with amazing butterbroden! My absolute favorite is the one with pumpkin seeds crème. Loved it! It was so delicious I didn’t even have a chance to take a proper picture as I was worried my friends would eat it all…

  • 5/5 Barry S. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice waitress. Very friendly. Had breakfast of a great Omelet with ham and croissant. Very good Cappuccino, Americano and fresh squeezed OJ . The coffee was one of the best we were served in the city.

  • 4/5 Ivan D. 2 years ago on Google
    It is the place dating back to 17th century and they do show it with hight quality food. We had Wiener schnitzel there and it was just perfect. In most places is, it suppose to be their flagship dish apparently and they are doing it just right. Weird thing we’ve noticed: apparently in some restaurants you need to order desert separately and do it by self serving. Whatever you have self-served will be added to your table check later but, it feels odd not to order desert from the waiter. One of the things I have as a huge take on the cultural aspect of living in Vienna - they are not as good in serving industries (tourism isn’t their strong suit). The service was professional but lacking some people skills greatly. Menus are being tossed instead of handed over, constant feel of rushing and tension. Two Wiener schnitzels, two coffees, two deserts costed us around 80 euros. The tip is, as in most if the places, optional and you can add it on top if the bill when you get one. They will ask if you’d like to leave a tip by credit card or cash. Overall good experience, it was a process of getting to know a new culture and all the negative things didn’t bother me that much.

  • 5/5 Alex N. 1 year ago on Google
    Worthy of the high rating, especially the superb location. Just hope you can get a seat facing the crowd and order local white wine to watch the people go by. First time trying the Viennese schnitzel and it’s really tender. I love the side dish though, not sure what’s it’s called but it’s sliced potatoes in a slightly sour dressing and topped with greens.

    Nice place to eat. Tasty food. Not a cheap place, but it is in the city center and with good service.
