Really excellent spot at the top of MHS with an old-world vibe, excellent food and really attentive service. Had the schnitzel with anchovy and egg which was just stellar. Selection of herring was great as well. Mushroom stroganoff was strong with weird onion rings. Carrot cake was just ok. But what the food lacked, the service made up for. Excellent. read more

The restaurant was undeniably beautiful and clubby but we were given a tiny table squeezed in between large loud parties and it took 30 minutes to get an initial glass of wine. My husband loved his Schnitzel and Spaetzle. Since I don't eat much meat, I had Kaese Spaetzle and cucumber salad which were fine if nothing to write home about. It was clear that "regulars" received more spacious seating and more attentive service. Given how slow the service was (to order, to get served, to get the check), I wouldn't go back. read more

Fischer's is located on Marleybone High Street, voted the Best Street in London on 2022. So go early or stay late for a meal at Fischer's and explore the neighborhood, a lively mix of restaurants, pubs, fashion outlets, etc. It's well worth a visit especially around 5:00 pm when the pubs begin to fill. As to the restaurant, Fischer's is a Viennese style restaurant in the classic tradition with a warm, Old World elegance ambiance. Impeccable food is paired with impeccable service. We've been to Vienna and Fischer's is equal to the best to be found there. We started with the borsch which my wife described as the best she had ever had, followed by the chicken schnitzel and the Wiener schnitzel, both tender and delicious. As to the Wiener schnitzel I highly recommend that you include the optional Holstein, a traditional topping of fried egg, capers, and anchovies. The combination of flavors adds so much to the dish. read more

LIked this place a lot. I'd call it a German brasserie, even though that's mixing countries. Definitely brasserie feel, dark, formal-ish, brass bars, kinda crowded tables. Vibrant to the point of loud. Very good food -- we had chicken liver pate, schnitzel, sausages, beet salad, streudel, and such. All was solid. Great service. Seems to be a locals joint, not a lot of obvious tourists about. A lot of loud businessmen and old friends kinda place. I'd come again any day -- and will. read more

Very good all around. The interior is well-maintained old world metro, the service is on-point, and the food is very tasty. All signs are good from the moment you walk into Fischer's. The atmosphere is really delightfully a throwback without being quaint or kitsch; you'll feel immediately at ease when you get seated. And, from start to finish the service here is pleasant, attentive, and on top of making sure you are having a plesant experience. The food is likely what you expect but just a little bit better all around. We started with the käsespätzle and bacon which was a bit more subtle than you would imagine - for Americans, this is basically an older origin of Mac n' Cheese so many of you would be well-off ordering this. We also tried a couple of the sausages which were hearty, smokey and very filling. Also on the menu was the Chicken Schnitzel which combined with the sauce and the provided pickles tasted like a really delicious fried chicken sandwich. I was pleasantly surprised by Fischer's. Definitely recommend it if you're spending some time in Marylebone. read more

Honestly one of the best meals I've had in London in a while. Everything from the drink to the dessert was great and would absolutely recommend! read more

Came here twice during our stay in London, once for brunch and once for lunch. Really glad we found this gem hidden in Marylebone. To me the highlight of this place is the decor and ambience. The decor made me feel like I transported back to history! All the art pieces felt carefully selected, and it felt so nice just sitting there drinking coffee, people watching, and enjoying the decor. Honestly the food was ok, I wouldn't say it was the most delicious, but it was good! My favorite however, was their coffee! Ended up having way more than I should had. read more

One of our favorite breakfast places! Viennese options and excellent coffee. Reservations recommended.

Das ist sehr gut! Fantastic restaurant in Marylebone. The food is devine and the staff is somehow even better. Do yourself a favor and make this a stop in London every time you find yourself in town. read more

Great food. Borsht is just a tomato soup, not really borsrht. Bismark herring was excellent, so was chopped liver. Wiener Schnitzel was excellent top of the class. I do not think they will get a Michelin star any time soon, as their servers and staff especially in the front of the restaurant need much more training. But the food was great nevertheless. read more

The experience was closer to 3.5 stars IMO, but rounding up to 4 because the Dover Sole was the highlight of this meal. This is my first experience with Austrian food, so I didn't know what to expect in terms of flavors and textures. This place did not let me down. read more

Went to this place for brunch and it was a perfect brunch spot. Very retro interior which has cool vibes and fits with the upscale ambience of Marylebone. Very good coffee.

Very good German food. Excellent location, service and decor. Especially recommend the chicken liver appetizer and apple strudel desert. Schnitzel was too dry even with the gravy and the bratwurst just OK. read more

What can I say, Germanic food is my favorite so when we saw this while we were walking it wasn't even a question about whether to check it out. And it was amazing. I ordered the Wiener Schintzel (classic) with a side of spätzle and my wife got the veal bratwurst, both were amazing. We didn't quite make it to Vienna on this trip but after this dinner I feel like I was almost there. Very content. read more

Viennese cafe with solid breakfast options including the pastries they are best known for. One of the relatively few places you can get American style pancakes in London--fluffy, topped with blueberries this time. Or you can opt for poached eggs with toast, or a tremendous omelette--my partner's favorite, with cheese and mushrooms. Part of the same chain that runs The Delaunay and the Wolseley in other parts of town. read more

It was Thanksgiving Day, and I was in London looking for sauerkraut. That may sound odd, but Thanksgiving in my SouthEast Baltimore home is not complete without sauerkraut (but I agree with Mark that Cauliflower is Not traditional!) I "Yelped" for German food and found Fischer's just a few block from my hotel. The 5 block walk started dry and ended with a quick run in the pouring pouring rain. I entered and was greeted with "how long will you be here?" I may have mis-heard, so I said, "Excuse me, I'm here for supper." "Yes, will you be here long?" "Um, I'd like supper, how long does that take?" I nearly turned around and left, but did not want to be an "ugly American," so I said "I'll eat quickly and leave, is that ok?" They seated me, and I watched the same exchange 3 more times with other wet customers coming in for a meal. I got the Pierogi with Sauerkraut, and a radish salad. The Pierogi were large and flavored well - crispy and not mushy. The sauerkraut was just what I was looking for. The food was top notch, and the table service was good. I would have given 4 stars but for the encounter at the door. So odd, and uninviting. read more

I gave high rate for their schnitzel. It was proper and top it with a side of medium cut fries, it is beautiful! The frankfurter was not too bad either. I ordered the potato salad and sauerkraut to eat with the sausages and they were very nice. The interior design also makes you feel like you are literally somewhere in Germany or Austria. When it comes to dessert, this place offers the classic and original black forest, which was excellent! read more

Good basic Wiener schnitzel with brown sauce but no sides, which need to be ordered separately. Chicken soup with spatzel also proved to have a few scallions and a lot of shredded carrot. read more

Not many quality options for this type of cuisine in the US, which happens to not only be my favorite but also my heritage, so this was a real treat for me! The atmosphere is super cozy, charming and romantic. Service was fantastic, quick and accurate. The food was delicious- schnitzel seemed to be the popular choice around me but I opted for the sausages and saurkraut which did not disappoint. The apple strudel was one of the best I've had including my time in both Germany and Austria. This will certainly be a must return destination for when I'm back in London. read more

Having written my undergraduate dissertation on Viennese coffeehouses I was irresistibly drawn here for a celebratory family meal. The interior is delightful - inspired by 20s Viennese coffee establishments with great attention to detail which includes Art Deco tiles, newspaper holders and curtains to shield diners from the street just as in the Viennese originals. Sadly just like in the modern Cafe Central et. al. in Vienna, Fischer's isn't quite the home away from home with local gentlemen passing entire days at its tables. But what it is is a fantastically delightful restaurant with a great ambiance. My sweet mustard herring was a great warm up for the delicious schnitzel, which I had with anchovies and egg. I'm not sure about the addition of anchovies to this already strongly flavoured dish but the execution was flawless. The apple and cinnamon strudel which followed was absolutely out of this world. We had a slightly dubious Sancerre with the starter which incidentally felt odd quaffed from the heavy glasses / although I imagine this is an accurate element of the aesthetic. The Piedmont red which followed was superlative however. Service was good - although it should be pointed out to some staff to serve the older ladies before their daughters... Especially if they have all ordered the same dish. A lovely Portuguese waiter took over our table mid way through and was extremely helpful. I also received a happy birthday on my strudel plate! Win! Will definitely be returning ;) read more

Went to Fischers for the 2nd time today and they really elevated my previous 2-star sentiment to a full score. Last time I foolishly ordered the frankfurter which I did not enjoy at all; perhaps my predilection for American frankfurter hotdogs marred my expectations, but a fennel-heavy boiled sausage with the texture of a Chinese meatball put me off more than a little, and the odd flavoured dover sole was a poor substitute for better ones in town (wright brothers when available, Daphnes, etc). This time I stuck with schnitzel and it was great. Soggy fries of yesterday crispy this time around. read more

It took me a while to digest this place before I could write a review. Sounds a bit affected I know but the place really polarised me. Inside it is immaculate. Finished to perfection. The food again was superb. A little heavy as most people comment, but then that's the cuisine. I felt the starters outshone the mains; chicken liver, beef broth and dumplings, something that translated to heaven and earth (black pudding and something?) and smoked salmon toast, all really really good. Then we all pretty much had schnitzels with the extras, very nice. The service just let it down, maybe we got a bad waiter. Gunther was it? Or Heinrich? Bob? Anyway he was a twitchy motherf*cker and I hope you don't get him. It was as if because we weren't over 75, dripping in pearls (its Marylebone don't you know?!?) then we weren't worthy of prompt service. 45mins between starters and mains. Coffee's bought out before dessert? I sound like dick, but when you're spending £60+ per head it matters. Despite all that, I will go back. Hopefully I don't get Ernst serving me again. ps. the German sparkling was excellent, as were a couple of the rieslings, when in rome. read more

It felt as we were back in Vienna, the venue is stunning and the food transports you as much as the decor. I had the wiener schnitzel and finished with a strudel, perfect comfort food! We were on a hunt for the best schnitzel in London and Fischer's is amongst the best in the city. But if you compare value for money then I would say Kipferl just tops Fischer's slightly! read more

I may be overrating the restaurant somewhat given that I was feeling a little "under the weather" from a big night out the day before (as literally any decent food that I didn't have to cook myself would have quenched my hunger!), but it's testament to the quality and size of the portion of the Käsespätzle (with Bacon) that I ordered that I left both immensely satisfied and also struggled to finish my meal - which almost never happens given my huge appetite. The waitress was incredibly helpful with her recommendation, as I was having a tough time choose something from the menu and this Austrian speciality perfectly hit the spot, and she was also very quick to tend to our table to refill the water jug (which needless to say was a constant necessity) among other things. I like places with an authentic feel to them, and this place certainly felt that way. I felt like I was dining in 1930's Vienna, and the fact that the waitress was Austrian and so knowledgeable about their food made me feel more at home too. I'm not often in the Marylebone area but next time I find myself there I'll most definitely consider dropping by again. read more

We read so many reviews on Fischers which is in our neighborhood that we were excited to try it. Food: We ordered the beef soup to start which was very flavorful, but a bit heavy. For our entrees we ordered the sausages (you can choose two) which were both delicious and came with potato salad along with the tafelspitz which was good, but too fancy. I was hoping it would be more like the traditional tafelspitz you get in Austria. We also ordered a side of the gem salad which was a perfect little salad. Drinks: We ordered two glasses of prosecco. Price: 66.60 GBP for two people. FYI - They added a dinner cover of 3.50 GBP which I haven't seen living in London yet. I asked the server what it was and he explained it's a charge for being there for dinner. They do it for lunch as well. Ambiance: The decor was very old world swanky inside and I love the big clock in the middle. The crowd was a bit older. Service: The service friendly, informative and quick. Would I go back? Yes, but probably not for dinner again. The food is too heavy. We were so full and had no room for dessert. Next time I would like to go back just for coffee and to try the kaiserschmarrn. read more

A nice viennese gem in the heart of Marylebone. Whether you are interested in coffee (Wiener Kaffee ...) and viennoiseries , Brötschen and herring for brunch , or dinner, Fischer's got your mitteleuropäische cravings covered. I went for dinner, had cured salmon and Würstchen (sausages with sauerkraut and onions). I finished with Topfenstrudel (quark cheese strudel with raisins). A real treat. I'll make sure to be back and sample some more read more

Expensive, but excellent. When I'm in London it a must visit for me. Food and service is of high standard.

Came here for Valentine's Day 2016 brunch. This place seems to usually be pretty busy, so booking ahead of time is probably a good idea. Great spot overall. Lovely 'old world' kind of ambiance. Friendly and pretty attentive service. The food is of a high quality, well priced, and the portions are more than adequate. We had the smoked trout, apple and gherkin salad to start. For entrees, she had eggs Benedict and I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. We also had two orders of coffee (that was a healthy amount of coffee). All in, including the included 12.5% tip, the total came to almost bang on 50 quid. If you're into Austrian cuisine, or think you might want to see what it's all about, then this is a good spot. Dining here at lunchtime was lovely, and I imagine the dinner hours would be very nice as well. read more

I have been living in London now for about three months and had a huge craving for schnitzel. Lone behold a coworker and veteran of food in the W1 district led me to Fischer's. When you first walk in you get blown away at the size of the venue, great for large parties or functions. The customer service was top notch instantly when greeted and sat. Of course I went with the perfectly crispy chicken schnitzel that was drizzled with a lemon sauce, hit the spot of what I had been craving for months, and for sides we went with the spetzel and creamy mash, both were buttery deliciousness! We concluded our meal with espresso & ice cream along with a berry tart. Fantastic way to hit that German Austrian itch! Must try and bring friends! Prices were moderate for the postal code. read more

I was here for a breakfast so lunch / dinner experience could be a bit better, but for breakfast experience was just a-ok. I think I would have expected a lot more given what Delaunay and Wolseley are like. Interrior is not as grand as Wolseley and not as cute as true Viennse cafe. Food for breakfast is extremely limited and services are not as professional as other venues. Assorted baked goods are cute but they are extremely small and they are all very sweet pastries - I would expect a bit more combination of sweet and savoury to be a true breakfast basket. Eggs in a bowl is true Viennese experience but glass / eggs ratio seems a bit off and very hard to eat. Toast that comes with is very average - white bread that does not have very distinct flavour nor texture.... I would expect to see at least one quality that would be outstanding but menu selection, food quality, service, interrior.... they are all just average and not very thoughtthrough... I would either go to normal breakfast cafe or go hit one of their other venues including Cafe Zedal. It is not a bad experience but nothing too special. read more

Want a slice of Vienna, then this is the place for you. However be warned the service is often cold and impersonal. The prices are slightly to high for the standard of food. Although might be reasonable if the price included the first class airfare for the food from Austria. read more

This is the second time I've been hustled out of Fischers after my "timed table" expired and both times after the service was mediocre at best - the staff dithers in taking orders - (we ordered cocktails 2x - they never came) no one seems to be in charge - food took over 25 minutes- then they basically tossed us out when our "time" expired. No warning. If you are going to time sittings - and I have NO problem with that - you better have a well trained staff to take orders and serve. Ive done many expensive business dinners at Fischers- but I'm done. Its a big city and a big restaurant city. It was fun while it lasted. read more

Fischers is one of our favourite restaurants. It's located on Marylebone high street which is my most loved street in London. The restaurants decor has a lot of character which adds to the atmosphere. Service is extremely attentive and the food is flavoursome and filling. As a vegetarian - I find this place awesome as they have a vegetarian menu they will bring you if you're veggie. I tend to order the "kasespatzle" as my starter and the "mushroom stroganoff" as my main. The mushroom stroganoff is particularly amazing and the portion is very generous. My husband likes to order the "choice of any two sausages plate" and enjoys it. The "pickled cucumber salad" is a great side for sharing and contrasts the heavy food nicely. Their desserts and coffee here are also lovely- we have tried the "drunken sisters" before which is a speciality dessert served in kirsch, the strudels are amazing and the "wiener kaffe" which is an espresso topped with cream is amazing. Having been here multiple times the food, atmosphere, and service cannot be faulted. We love it. read more

My husband and I went here a few weeks ago as I had been wanting to try this place. The food is good - not amazing, but good, reliable. My husband's schnitzel was okay, and my sausage was quite tasty, but not amazing. Apple strudel was also, just okay. The food quality is good, but the flavours are just kind of lacking. I wouldn't come running back for the food, but the ambiance is fantastic. The decor is so cute and warm, it's a nice place to have an Autumn or Winter lunch when you're craving Austrian food and is great for people watching. Our service was quite brusque but efficient, and all in all was a pleasant meal. read more

This venue has a very nice atmosphere and decor: it reminds me a Viennese coffee house... Came to dinner with the family. The service was very good, but unfortunately, the menu items can be hit or miss. Maybe I am a fussy Austrian foodie (I am married to an Austrian from Salzburg) but the biggest disappointment was the schnitzel. The veal option was not available) and it came covered in some brown sauce(!!?) My wife did not like her starter at all (Beef Broth with Cheese Dumplings). The other items we ordered were very good, namely the Käsespätzle with Bacon and the Lamb Gulash. From the dessert menu, the Topfenstrudel was very good, but my kids were disappointed with the the Kaiserschmarrn. All in all, I think we would come back but not for dinner (Linda J.'s review seems to have captured it perfectly.) read more

Just ok food. Have been many times before and always had pretty good meals. Today I have chilled borscht which was so chilled it was flavourless, saved by delicious brown bread. For mains pastrami rosti. Rosti had been pre cooked and then heated again, so it was tough and flat - almost like a cracker. Pretty expensive too. read more
