    The schnitzel
    Katie A.

    I found this place to be amazing! We found it on the recommendation of our walking tour guy. We did not have a reservation obviously, and they told many people to go away. But they told my sister and I to hang out and wait a few minutes and then behold, they got us in. I had the schnitzel, which overlap the plate which was as big as my head. My sister had the goulash, and the potato salad was to die for. It was covered in not a warm baking sauce, but some slightly sweet sauce, and piled high with watercress. Really enjoyed this place!

    This was a great experience. We went to the most famous restaurant that serves their famous schnitzel. Please visit this place if you're ever in Vienna, Austria. The service is great. Short wait for the food but make sure you make a reservation. There's a long queue if you don't have a reservation. So happy we went to this famous restaurant. It lives up to its reputation. Also the staff are all so friendly.

    Nobody will deny that the thin, crispy breading, tender pork schnitzel this place is known for is delicious. What I would recommend, seriously, is if they offered a variety of toppings to add some moisture, richness, sweet or tart balance. I ordered the white asparagus side with a side of hollandaise sauce that I dipped my slices into. The service was slow and the only waiter in the room could come in and ignore you. It became a goal of my table neighbors and I to get his attention. Not necessarily a Figlmüller issue, but it was hot & humid and their AC (or any air flow) sucked. Along with having to fan myself with my menu I ordered a couple of Radlers to cool down. I took down about 75% of my schnitzel and had no room left for anything else. The service was the reason for the 4 stars. The next time I go I will make sure I get something to pour over or dip my schnitzel in.

    A cute place tucked away on a side street. Great atmosphere and service. I had the veal goulash and it was perfect, the meat was tender, full of flavor.

    We shared their signature pork schnitzel and it's so massive that the two of us couldn't finish. Served with a single lemon slice so HIGHLY recommend the side salads for some acidity & sweetness!! Texture wise, it's more chewy (?) than crispy. Not bad or anything, but just not for me ‍ Probs would taste better with sauce, ketchup even, but that's very American of me. Figlmüller-Schnitzel (pork) €20.9 Potato Salad €6.9 Small Mixed Salad €6.9 비엔나에서 첫 식사는 슈니첼!! 거의 모든 식당에서 찾아볼수있는 요리지만 우린 Figlmüller으로 먹으러감! 갈꺼면 미리 예약하는걸 추천. 기다렸다 먹었으면 억울했을꺼다 육전이라 생각하면 바삭한거구 돈까스를 예상했다면 눅눅한 식감? 맛 자체는 익숙한데 먹다보면 물리니까 감자 샐러드가 필수다. 굳이 찾아먹을 요리는 아니지만 한번은 먹어보기~

    I absolutely love this place! I come here on every visit to Vienna. Sure, there are a lot of places around that serve Wienershcnitzel, but this place still has a reputation and an old-world charm that is unmatched in any other place in Vienna. Make a reservation, otherwise, prepare to wait. If you're staying in a nice hotel, ask the concierge and I am sure they will get you in. The menu is small, but order the item they are famous for- Wienerschnitzel! I have eaten here many times and am always impressed with the size of the schnitzel! It definitely does cover the edges of the plate. Also, trust the waiter's recommendation on wine. He is not trying to upsell you. The Steak Tartare is incredible, but make sure you save room for the main event. The sides are okay, nothing spectacular, but they do go well with the Schnitzel. On my last visit, the waiter was awesome, friendly and funny and genuinely happy to serve us. If you are here for a few days, feel free to try another place, but go here at least once- you will NOT be disappointed!

    If you can, make a reservation ahead of time. But if not, expect to be in line anywhere from 40 mins to an hour. I came around lunch time so I did have to wait in line but I wasn't bothered because I was not in a rush. However if you don't have too much time in town you can also get a good Wiener schnitzel anywhere else. This was my first time trying this famous Vienesse dish and it was huge so you can definitely share. It was pretty tasty and it reheats well lol. I had the leftover the next day. The potato salad was delicious too. Overall a good meal. This place is probably pricier than other local spots. Service was okay.

    This is THE place for schnitzel. Not the cheapest or fanciest but it is perfect for a classic Austrian dining experience. Our favorite meal of the trip. The green salad, the wine, the potato salad were all lovely complements to the schnitzel. Slight language barrier ordering but our server was so nice and helpful. Save room for dessert!!

    Fancier restaurant to try wiener schnitzel. There are two locations right by each other that take walk-ins (but seems like there's usually a line) or make reservations online ahead of time! Shared one Wiener schnitzel between two people and ordered a side of the Austrian style potato salad. Tasty and a good spot if you want a more upscale experience.

    Would recommend getting a reservation here since it can get busy. My bf and I shared the original pork schnitzel with lingonberry jam and the tomato salad. The schnitzel was just average - it was pretty dry and not crispy. The jam made it taste yummy though. It was a very large portion, so definitely shareable. The salad was fresh. I tried my bf's apple strudel, but it didn't blow my mind.

    A rating of 4 but might really be a 3.5. I struggle with Figlmuller each visit. But the last trip to Vienna we passed on it. I have to tell myself this a predominantly a tourist restaurant. And when I accept that it's ok...and yes I am a tourist but really enjoy eating and conversing with locals. We arrive right in time for our booking and were seated immediately among all the tourists. We hadn't been seated two minutes and our waiter was saying "what would you like to order". At that time we knew we had to slow him down. I ordered a Wiener Schnitzel with a side of Lingonberry jam and the waiter asked what side I would like. I asked what came with it and he answered "nothing" my response was "ok, nothing". He was rather flippant at that moment. Oh well. We also ordered the Rye Bread and sweet butter and an entree of Veal Goulash with Spaetzel and of course wine. We looked up and there was our bread. I looked in the cute little bag and there was not three but 3 and 1/2 pieces of small sliced bread... I could only assume the worst. It was ok. Knew I didn't need the filler. Entrees arrived and they were pretty sad looking... not like the schnitzel around me. Mine was two pieces not covering the plate and the beautiful ones around me were one piece covering the whole plate. Disappointed for the photo. It was very good with salt added and lemon provided. I have had better at less if a visit and which also included a side if potatoes or other choice. The Veal Goulash was on the verge of being too salty. We asked for our check and our waiter even appreciated his generous tip. Will we return...probably not but it is worth the experience. A bit overpriced. Highly recommend booking in advance as we sat by the window and there seemed to be a moderate line.

    Schnitzel and potatoes

    Figlmuller has been open for almost 120 years!! One of Vienna's most iconic restaurants. It is an absolute must on your trip to Vienna. The menu is pretty limited, but let's be real, you only come for the schnitzel. The schnitzel is the size of a basketball. It's massive!! We ordered 2 between 3 of us and honestly should have ordered 1. It is so much food. It is expensive but it feeds a lot so the price makes sense. My only request here is I wish there were better side options with the schnitzel and they shouldn't charge for a side of sauce.

    Dinner!
    Tim K.

    Yes it is hyped, yes there is a line a mile long - make a reservation! The food was terrific. Their favorite Schnitzel does not disappoint but the real sleeper was the veal goulash for the win. Service is classically European - no nonsense, but very GOOD. 100% will go again.

    Grape juice - delicious but tastes the same as normal grape juice!

    A rather rustic setting for the city of Vienna, but the food was delicious, the beer and service spot on! Make a reservation. Liked it!

    Line moves fast. Shared a table with strangers though. Food very good. Jammed. Don't go for the ambiance.

    *******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.
