My friend and I had dinner at Figlmüller Bäckerstraße (there are two locations). It's one of several restaurants under the Figlmüller restaurant group, which began in 1905 when Johann Figlmüller opened the first location - a small wine tavern right behind St. Stephen's Cathedral. It's still family-owned by the fourth generation of the Figlmüller family. We had a reservation, which I highly recommend. When we arrived, there was quite a long line outside the building, but we were able to walk right in to get seated at our reserved table. Figlmüller Bäckerstraße may be the offshoot of the original, but it still has tons of historic character. It's traditional and cozy and warm. The service was great, too - it made for a very comfortable spot. My friend and I shared: Figlmüller-Schnitzel, creamy veal goulash with spätzle, and carrot salad. We might have had a couple of glasses of wine, too. The food was all great - Viennese classics and delicious. Overall, I thought Figlmüller lived up to the hype. If you're looking for a classic spot for Viennese schnitzel, consider Figlmüller Bäckerstraße. read more

Figlmüller in Vienna totally lived up to the hype! The pork schnitzel was huge, tender, and delicious, bigger than the plate! The berry sauce paired perfectly with it. The place was spotless, including the bathrooms, and the staff were super friendly. What made it truly unforgettable was not just the food but also meeting new friends from Malaysia and Taiwan while waiting in line. They had a reservation (we didn't!) and invited us to join them. Strangers from opposite sides of the world sharing an amazing Viennese meal, stories, and laughs. Proof that good food really does bring people together. read more

When you're in Vienna, you have to try the Pork Snitzel. You can get it from a few places in Austria, but this restaurant is probably the most famous. There's a couple locations, but one location nearby was closed for renovations, so there was quite a line. Reserve in advance if possible. The Figlmüller-Schnitzel is a traditional staple. It is very thin, but a large piece, softly breaded and dry since it is white meat. But after a while, it's more of the same. A lemon slice only help so much. Sides are extra, I tried the potato-field salad with pumpkin seed oil; small mixed salad; Spinatknodel / spinach dumplings. Water is also extra here. Overall, you have to try it once when you're in Austria. Otherwise, it is fancier, but pricier than other restaurants. They do have different seating, including tables deep into the basement, as if they're bunkers? read more

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! read more

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. read more

Figlmüller - The famous Figlmuller! - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

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. read more

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~ read more

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! read more

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. read more

This is know as THE place to get Wiener schnitzel in Vienna. For that reason there is usually a relatively long queue, but you are able to make reservations in advance. There are actually two locations within a block of each other. For two we shared an order of their classic Wiener schnitzel. A single portion is very big so they kindly cut it in half and we paired it with a potato salad. It was freshly fried and delicious! The restaurant is a little more upscale and it is reflected in the price. It's worth the visit but there are also a ton of other great Wiener schnitzels in Austria at a much cheaper price point. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The waiters were very nice but the food was just average. Just a tourist trap of average food that was cranked out from the kitchen. You have to eat there because of the "original" schnitzel. - but I'm sure there are a lot of other places with better a better schnitzel at any other place in Vienna. Also pricey for what you get. Again tourist trap. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Highly recommend!! The schnitzel here is so so good, it's one of the best I've ever had. The potato salad that comes with it is also divine. I also had the fresh grape juice, that I feel like I could've passed on, it tasted like normal grape juice. We also got a beef soup type thing off their traditional menu, it was alright, nothing too special. The line moves quickly outside, we were probably the 8th party or so but we got seated within 30 minutes. Definitely worth the wait! Service is very kind, and it's very nice inside. Not loud or anything. read more

We only tried schnitzel in two restaurants and theirs is better so is the potato salad that goes with it. Ordered both pork and veal. Got the tafelspitz as well, good for just one person. Beer.

I had a great experience at Bäckerstraße location. The atmosphere was classy. I had sourdough bread with butter, Figlmüller-Schnitzel, potato salad and apple strudel. The host and waiter were both professional and helpful. And I'd say that was the best schnitzel experience I ever had. I initially noticed the Figlmüller Wollzeile at Wollzeile 5. This location required a reservation and was full. The host suggested to try the newer location around the corner at Bäckerstraße 6. I'd recommend to make a reservation, as the line for walk-in can take over an hours. read more

The employee brought the tableware and said, 'Nihao,' in an unpleasant tone. I was very offended, so I complained to another employee, but he didn't recognize what was wrong either. We are not Chinese. It is very rude of Westerners to say hi to all Asians, 'Nihao' or 'Gonichiwa'. It was very UNPLEASANT experience. I do not recommend here to all Asians. The food is just pork cutlet flavor and normal. read more

We were warned in advance, and so had a reservation. We arrived at the Figlmüller location around the corner from where our reservation was, and it took a moment to clarify the situation. Once we got to the right place, we were led into the lower level of a comfortable restaurant. I think we made the right choice, deciding to divide two schnitzels between four people: the schnitzels are literally dinner-plate sized. My wife finally got the top-notch schnitzel she had been jonesing for the entire trip. I didn't find either the mixed salad or the vogerlsalat particularly tasty. The restaurant doesn't serve soda, so I had to settle for a decent apple juice. We skipped the slight dessert course. Service was good. read more

Figlmüller is an established restaurant known for their schnitzel. Of the two locations we went to the Backstreet restaurant as they offer schnitzels that are not solely pork based. This was by far, the best schnitzel on our trip as the veal was pounded thinly and the breading complemented the dish and wasn't overwhelming. To accompany, we ordered some lingonberries which were amazing and some bread. The bread may have been a day or so old as it wasn't very fresh. Definitely a place to go in Vienna for schnitzel as proven by the line that wraps around the corner. If possible, I recommend making a reservation on your own, or with the assistance of a hotel concierge, as we were able to be seated almost moments after we arrived and bypass a 20 person line. read more

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

We waited 2.hours in line for a Schnitzel, were treated unprofessionally and at the end were did not even get a table. A vaste group of customers felt in the same way as they refused to leave the venue after having waited 2 hrs and more in the cold. The employees did not care much about the customers so all in over we had quite a bad experience read more

Excellent meal, worth the effort to make the reservation. It's not overly expensive and the schnitzel is a massive portion of delicious, tender schnitzel in a super light crust. Two people can absolutely get one schnitzel to share. We didn't get our lingonberry jam, which was sad, but everything else was delicious. Good radler to accompany the meal. read more

What I enjoyed: 1) Potatosalad and mini salad What we ordered: 1) Big pork schnitzel (better than the Kalbsschnitzel one) but somehow was boring. It lacked in flavor, sauce or anything else. 2) Kalbsschnitzel. Is more expensive and much smaller and more airy, not as flat. I enjoyed the other one slightly more 3) kaiserschmarn- skip that, it's too sweet, soft dough. Not worth the calories. read more

If you don't have a reservation for the original Figlmüller, they will direct you to this location. The workers are always busy but that should not make up for their disregard for serving customers. It took a while for my friend I to get our menus and to track down our waiter for the bill. Food was pretty good. Food ordered: 1. Schnitzel: 4/5 - this was easy to cut and thinner than I anticipated. I love that the schnitzel was thin and crispy, and paired with a squeeze of lemon, it was refreshing and not heavy. However, personally, it was still a little oily and nothing mind blowing. 2. Potato salad: 5/5 - I love that it is actually scalloped potato with Dijon on one half and actual salad leaves with balsamic on the other side. Mix them together for a delicious and flavorful salad. read more

Figlmüller - Schnitzel with potato salad - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

This is good freaking schnitzel! And secret is out, because the place is loaded with tourists, Including many singles trying to eat one of them solo, which is inadvisable (bring, or find, a friend and share). It's off the beaten path, but with English menus and signs outside, you will know this is the place. The potato salad (which is actually part potato and part salad, not the mayo-based version), is the perfect side. Finished with a Sacher torte and an apple strudel, and the total for 4 with drinks was just over 50€ (with each pair sharing a schnitzel). The house white wine was very good - worth ordering a bottle for under 30€. read more

My husbands colleague had a layover in Vienna and raved about the schnitzel at Figlmüller to which my husband then said "we have to go". To me it seemed a bit silly but I obliged and the rest is history. A little backstory for context, Figlmüller I learned was founded over 110 years ago and 4th generation family owned. FYI a schnitzel is basically pork, pounded out to a pizza pie looking shape, breaded and fried to perfection. We shared one along with steak tartare and potato salad. All delicious. I could wage a bet that chances are every single table in this restaurant will have the schnitzel on the table too. Call me Mrs Cleo. Decor is old school, a little fancy with white table clothes but reasonably priced. Ether go on an off time or make a reservation, otherwise come at your own risk and stand in possibly a 50 person line. yikes. read more

First pro tip: Make a reservation online ahead of time. You'll thank me when you're not standing out in the cold grumbling with everyone else. Second pro tip: Split an original schnitzel with someone. You won't want to eat a whole one yourself. It's delicious, but it's a lot of breaded meat. The schnitzel with lingonberry jam is really good, and their authentic Austrian potato salad is not to be missed, either. We also ordered a side salad, which was nothing special as far as salads go, but brought a very welcome freshness after days of meat and potatoes. I've heard good things about the apple strudel, but haven't tried it. The atmosphere is classic and service was impeccable. A must in Vienna. read more
