Great food. It was good enough to go two nights on a row. Between all of us. We had the cordon blue, pork schnitzel, goulash, rump steak, garlic soup and fried emental cheese. It was all delicious and so much food. Highly recommend. read more

Well that was a heavenly night out…read more Our first restaurant meal in Vienna, so it had to be Wiener schnitzel. Perfect veal pieces with a perfectly golden, bubbled crumb, as large as our plate. Heaven. Potato salad - perfect; a little on the sweeter side. No mayo here, as it should be. Also, we were craving veg, so ordered the rucola salad. This being Austria, it was covered in ham and a sharp cheese. I'm not complaining The room had a simple, cozy cellar bar feel. It was a tad warm inside. Friendly service. Although I tried my best with German they also spoke excellent English. Drinks wise - hubby enjoyed the lager beer and I loved the Weiss gespritzt. At €3,90 a glass, I was happy! They were busy so recommend booking. Fantastic meal, highly recommend!

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!

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 schnitzel was cooked well, seasoning was ok. It's light with mainly just a lot of salt but I think that's fairly typical. The potato salad came in this vinegary sauce and was nice to cut the schnitzel. We also did the apple streusel for dessert which was nice too but took forever for some reason to come out to us.

I got the pumpkin soup, which was actually delicious. But then none of the 3 entrees we got were particularly flavorful.

We got a seat outside within about 15 minutes of waiting. Not bad since there were about 25 - 30 people ahead of us. We ordered Wiener Schnitzel and the Goulash.

It was even pretty, topped with a few greens and drizzled with a pumpkin seed oil. the goulash was huge with and the meat was fork tender. It seemed as though we ate and ate and still couldn't quite finish as the portions were huge. Prices were reasonable. Don't know if they take reservations but I would assume not considering the long line trying to get in. And when we left the line was still there. Service was great. Friendly, and prompt. Highly recommend getting in line or arriving when they first open.

You're looking for a rotating mountain of meat like an oasis in the desert so that you can get a doner wrap, sandwich, or box. I have good news! I've found where you should be, and it's Berliner Doner. Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? There is seemingly always a line a Berliner Doner, and that was the case even on a windy and intermittently rainy Sunday evening when there were seemingly no other people in the entire city of Vienna. Fortunately, the line at Berliner moves real quick, and even ten deep you'll have your food within twenty minutes tops. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? I genuinely cannot get over the price points at Berliner. My standard chicken doner sandwich was, wait for it, €3,50. That's it. That's all. That's the tweet. I obviously should have gone double meat for one euro more, but in summary is the best deal in town full stop. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? And just like that it all came together. The fresh pita, the flavorful chicken, the fantastic peripherals with red and white sauces that could easily rival any high quality stand in London or New York or Los Angeles. This was marvelous and there was no weak link. Period. Two Stars. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Every damn night if I could. Star.

Yummy fresh salads, delicious sauces, shavings of lamb on top, washed down with a couple Gösser beers - perfect post drinking fare. Under €20 - awesome value. Way better than doner kebabs in Australia! There's some outdoor seating. Ambiance is simple, quick, outdoor takeaway. Nothing fancy. Would I take a date here? Probably not. Would I make it a required stop after a big night drinking? Hell yes. I ordered in German, the guy didn't switch to English. So not sure if they speak any English here. Recommend!

It was near our air bnb and had lots of good reviews, so the choice was made. We each got a different rendition of schnitzel. I got the classic and I personally thought it was great. Cooked perfectly. Crispy golden exterior with a juicy center. Simple dish that doesn't need anything other than a squeeze of lemon and a nice cold beer. My mom and aunt weren't as thrilled. I Think they had different expectations. My mom got a version that was similar to a francese and my aunt got one with parm and oregano. I tried both and thought they were very good. The potato salad they serve was phenomenal!! Be warned, the portions are huge! This is a good place for a family to share a few dishes. Also, be advised that if you want to avoid a wait get there early. We got there and had no real wait, but the people were beginning to show up as we left. You have to have the staples when you travel to a particular city, and the Schnitzel was represented well at this particular Vienna institution. Go and ENJOY!!!

However, my personal favorite restaurant for authentic Austrian cuisine is Schitzelwirt! They have an exceptional Biergarten in the front of the restaurant or inside dining if you want a more romantic setting. I recommend enjoying their traditional Wiener Schnitzel with Herb Potatoes. Aperol Spritz & local Sturm Wine pairs nicely with this meal. The service was excellent! They are able to speak English but restaurants are the best place to try using your Deutsch and the staff will be very pleased and create laughs around the table. Also, this restaurant isn't very close to an U-Bahn station so I recommend using a taxi or Uber to arrive and continue your night.

Our waitress explained the "blind choice" concept which we both were willing to accept. We're also familiar with most variations on the small plates theme, and went for the three courses. Plus: Friendly welcome. As with most previous reviews, we found the food very nicely presented and of high quality. Minus: A really, really long wait between courses; and while small plates are by definition going to be small, the portions were tiny. For example, the solitary prawn on a slate to accompany the glass ramekin of soup reminded me of the moment when the Stonehenge monument appears in "Spinal Tap"; making a bigger thing out of it would have been a good idea. Well, at least the teaspoon was the correctly sized cutlery for this course. Summary: €28,80 a head for three courses of this size was way over-priced.
