    Traditional Viennese Soup! Delicious.
    Nahid L.

    This place is a little hidden gem. We were seated immediately. The service was quick and the menu is extensive with a good variety of food and drink items. The ham and cheese omelette was exceptional.

    The staff seem incredibly overworked as it was incredibly hard to get someone's attention, but it wasn't like they were standing about behind the counter twiddling their thumbs. They were constantly running back and forth trying to service all the tables. We stopped here during the beginning of the day to grab a coffee, and I'm sure glad we found this place. It was incredibly hot inside (no AC, of course) and so I opted for an "iced coffee". It ended up being sort of a chocolate/mocha concoction with a scoop of ice cream in it and whipped cream on top. It was absolutely delicious and I could start to feel the caffeine kicking in within the first few sips, so I could tell it was incredibly concentrated. The second time we came here we opted to sit outside since it was so hot, but again, received only mediocre service. Luckily the menu is pretty straightforward and so all you really needed the waiters for were ordering and paying. The menu also has an English section (thank God!). I'd keep coming back here just for the iced coffee, especially I got the impression in Austria that iced coffee wasn't really a common thing :).

    Anytime I get something for free from the owner its an immediate five stars! Us yelpers popped in for a night cap following a yelp elite event and immediately sparked the interest of the wait staff and the owner (I think she was the owner, corrections if not) who came over and asked us who we were and what we were doing. In a very friendly manner I have to say! A couple of minutes later we (all 10 of us) were brought a warming drink compliments of "the chefin." I don't know what it was called but 'yummy' would be my guess. Warm cherry liquor topped with whipped cream and cinnamon. WOW! As one of the yelpers said this would be fantastic on the slopes as a warming agent and it certainly did its job! The locale itself is everything a coffee house in Vienna should be. Inside things haven't changed decor wise since the mid 50s, the waiters all wear 3 piece suits slightly too big for them, there is a slightly cerebral vibe going on and two hipsters in the corner whispering to themselves bedecked in fashionable button down shirts and bulky scarves. Excellent! Just the place to drop in and spend an hour or two with coffee and cakes. Downstairs there is a cabaret room for rent and the biggest surprise (for me anyway) the toilets. Seemingly dropped right out of the Starship Enterprise, the juxtaposition here is wonderful. All curvy white plastic walls with red floors it has absolutely nothing to do with the cafe it serves. Just lovely! Nice and friendly and Im hoping the coffee is great too as this could become my "local" coffee house!

    My favourite café ever. As soon as you step in you can't help but notice the elegant waiters, the old fashioned furniture and the dozens of cigarettes being lit every second. Come here for a coffee, dessert or to grab a bite, you won't be disappointed!

    Traditional Viener Schnitzel. Would recommend 10/10

    Just stopped in for coffee and strudel. The apple strudel was the best we had #1 out of 4. Nice place for a snack.

    Server was rude and did not get us a table until we just sat down. Food was bad, don't waste your time.

    We made a reservation here about a month in advance, and I am so glad we did! This place was packed…read morewhen we arrived, as expected since it is one of the most well-known schnitzel spots in Vienna. I was worried this place was over-hyped and more of a place you have to "check off the list" than somewhere you want to eat because of the food. If you have any doubts like I did, forget about them because this was actually the best schnitzel we had on our trip! Their potato salad and tomato salads, also amazing! I love that they had option for their schnitzel - the chicken and original were our favorites! Definitely check this spot out when in Vienna - you won't be disappointed!

    This is probably one of the most popular schnitzel restaurants in all of Vienna. Do not come…read morewithout a reservation unless you're prepared to stand outside for quite some time. I had a reservation at 11:30am and there was already an insane line just to get in. Then once they opened the doors other groups of people completely ignore the line outside and just start rushing in. They're in absolutely no rush to seat you so don't have any hope that they'll let you in early. Once you're seated the service is pretty fast. The schnitzel is quite large and good for sharing. I had the original schnitzel with pork. It was thin and crispy but under seasoned in my opinion. The potato salad was the star for me I could have had one all to myself. It was creamy, a little sweet, and tangy. I also tried the soup with clear beef broth and sliced pancakes. Nothing memorable but a nice clean soup if you're in the mood.

The place was huge inside, bigger than expected from the outside. It was packed with people in a good way and the decor was tasteful and inviting. The wait staff were really friendly and attentive and visited just often enough to make sure we had what we needed. The food was great, and the classic schnitzel was massive but thin enough that it didn't feel overwhelming to eat. I paired it with the potato salad that included greens and both were excellent. If you're getting the schnitzel I suggest the longenberry preserve because the schnitzel itself is on the blander side.

We were seated right away. The inside js a lot more spacious than it looks from outside. As we had dinner in a few hours, we got the pork schnitzel to share with lingoberry sauce, field greens, and grape juice. The schnitzel was lovely- nice thin good meat and crispy breading. It was HUGE! I have never had this vegetable before but it was delicious and the dressing was excellent. I also really enjoyed their grape juice. The staff were very nice and service was quick. This is not a dish I would want to eat every day but I enjoyed the meal.

    *******READ FINE PRINT ON MENU*********…read more I have issues with this place. My review will not change the trajectory of how this place operates. However, it is unlike any place in the world I have ever visited. We were seated at a table that was meant for 6 people and got taken down to two people as there was another couple sitting there. The place for lunch was absolutely slammed, so it is obviously a popular spot. Without asking, they drop bread off at the table. With a place of this atmosphere it was expected, as this is what I would expect out of a finer food establishment. The schnitzel was very light and had plenty of flavor. No other sides came with the schnitzel so I had the potato salad which was good, but different. The beef stroganoff did have an immense amount of flavor. They lacked the very small amount of noodles that are given with this dish. The fastest uninterrupted service we got was when I waited and finally asked for the check. They were quick to give me a dessert/after food drink menu. They were quick to be on top of me to see if I wanted anything. I declined and paid the bill. What I will tell you is, that is completely OUTRAGEOUS is the charge listed as 2 - Gedeck. A quick review told me that it is a "Cover Charge" at a euro rate of 4.90 per person. A further Google review told me that it is also because they placed bread on the table (I do not know what is factual). Regardless of whatever the charge is or whatever they want to call it, I have never ever ever paid a "Cover Charge/Gedek" charge to occupy a restaurant. If this was a late night spot that I decided to pop bottles at or had "dancers" at the business, I could get there, but for a sit down lunch, what a complete utter rip off. This in itself would cause me never to return to this establishment. Make sure if you eat here, that you read the fine print or look at my pictures. They have very small print that notifies the consumer of them charging cover charge as well as what they charge for sharing of some dishes. All I can say is be mindful and do not be taken back like we were when the bill comes.

    I stayed at a nearby hotel and when I told the concierge I went here for schnitzel. He stated that,…read moreas a local, this wouldn't be his first preference and seemed to respectfully imply that I had expensive taste (but did say it was a good spot). I should've responded, "I'm a tourist, so yes, I do have expensive taste." (not quoting some Icelandic-Chinese singer or anything, of course) While I know that their Tafelspitz is their signature, I wanted some schnitzel. However, I ordered a bowl of the broth the beef was cooked in, which also comes with root vegetables. Surprisingly (or not), this was the best part of the dinner. The broth's depth of flavor is apparent and it's so savory. The broth is also clean and clear. This was definitely one of the best broths I've had and this alone puts the restaurant at a 5. I went for the schnitzel and got suckered into getting the potato salad. The salad was fine; a little tangy, with the potatoes keeping their definition. However, it's nothing amazing. The schnitzel is super-thin and breading is nicely browned. The veal is rather tender, but you need the lemon to "wake-up" the schnitzel. The bread basket was a bit diverse and the selections were fine. I thought the wheat roll was the best of the choices. The apricot juice was really thick, so it definitely appeared to be legit juice. My server was pretty friendly for Vienna and actually did a little bit a conversation. The decor is classy but not stuffy. Plenty of folks came in with smart casual but also some were more dressed up.
