Awesome. We loved this place. Great Schnitzel and the wine was great. Best part was the service and they treated us like locals. Very high end wine and food. We will be back. Danke!!! read more

My friend and I stopped by Glacis Beisl for some wine one evening when we were in Vienna a week or so ago. We didn't eat, but we enjoyed a few glasses of wine to end our day. I couldn't have enjoyed it more. We sat outside in their beautiful beer garden-like set up. We ordered a few glasses (they have a really excellent selection if you're up to ordering a bottle, but we only had one glass in us because of some transportation delays that had us running on empty). The wine was excellent, the space was beautiful, and the service was great. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we intended to come back on another night - but our time in Vienna was so short! I would happily return to Glacis Beisl if I'm ever in Vienna again! Maybe next time for a meal and a bottle? read more

Top of the stairs and difficult to find by the Museum quarter, Austrian food with daily specials. Pluses Gimlet was festive and tasty Lingonberry side a plus Bathrooms very clean Outdoor dining available Plenty of hooks to hang clothes Areas to improve We ordered a special fizzy organic wine of the day and it was sour and not to our liking. Ghoulash was just okay. Parsley potatoes were just okay. Service is typical, does take some time for food to arrive. Recommended if you are hungry and nearby. read more

Glacis Beisl is a bit tricky to find--I'd recommend using Google Maps to navigate. Once you arrive, you'll descend steps into a charming patio area, reminiscent of a traditional Viennese Heuriger. Although I've visited several times over the years, I've always opted to dine inside, where the ambiance is warm and inviting. One unique feature for Vienna is that they usually have a host to greet you, which is uncommon for many local restaurants. That said, the place can get quite busy, so it's best to call ahead and make reservations, especially for dinner. During dinner, they typically charge a place cover, which includes a tablecloth, cloth napkin, bread, and Liptauer (a paprika spread), a small but thoughtful touch. Their menu features Viennese classics like Schnitzel, Tafelspitz (slow boiled beef), and Goulash, along with a selection of rotating seasonal dishes--like white asparagus in spring and game meat in the fall. During our visit, we ordered the Tafelspitz, which came with chive sauce, apple horseradish, and Rösti (potato pancakes). We also had the Paprikahendl (chicken paprikash). The Tafelspitz was soft and flavorful, a true Viennese classic done right. Unfortunately, the Paprikahendl was disappointing--overcooked and dry, likely reheated, which was a bit of a letdown. Their soups are a real highlight, especially the bouillon, which was rich and perfectly seasoned. However, the desserts stole the show. We indulged in the Topfenknoedel (sweet cheese dumplings) with fresh jam and cream, as well as a Parfait. Both were outstanding--the Topfenknoedel were light and delicious, while the Parfait had a perfect consistency and was absolutely decadent. We paired our desserts with some local dry champagne, which was pleasant and complemented the meal nicely. Service, unfortunately, can be hit or miss. This time, we were on the unlucky side, as we weren't checked on regularly, which slightly dampened the overall experience. Despite the inconsistencies, Glacis Beisl remains a solid spot for traditional Viennese cuisine with a touch of modernity. Just make sure to call ahead and hope for a good service day! read more

This was our first night in Vienna after a long day of travel, and all we wanted was a simple dinner. Instead, we walked straight into one of the most humiliating and infuriating experiences I've ever had in any country. The second we spoke English, the servers' attitudes flipped. They treated us like garbage for no reason other than being American. They mocked us openly, made comments about us in German to the table next to us, and acted like serving us was an inconvenience. The table beside us actually took pictures of us while we were eating, laughed at us, and made pig noises. And the staff? They saw it. They heard it. And they did absolutely nothing. No apology, no correction, nothing. Just stood by and let their customers be harassed. If you're a tourist especially an American stay FAR away from this place. The environment was hostile, the people were rude, and the whole experience was so disgusting it genuinely made us never want to step foot in Vienna again. read more

You don't need to reserve a spot if you just show up when they open. Food was just okay for me - the radish carpaccio was the highlight from the meal. I wasn't a fan of the goulash (a tad bit on the salty side and had to be eaten with the dumplings + bread). The stuffed dumplings with sauerkraut was better but tasted somewhat bland, which worked out with the goulash as a combo. Skip the homemade lemonade as it turned out to be lightly flavored water. read more

Service is terrible food is ok yet overcooked. I have had better in Concord CA. And way cheaper too.

12/12/22 Figured if we were to try the wiener schnitzel anywhere, this would be a good place to try it. Pretty bland and dry for my liking, I ended up using the gravy sauce from the roasted duck dish and it was better. The duck was okay, but wasn't the most tender. The dumplings were so-so. read more

We enjoyed dinner in the garden at Glacis Beisl. The garden is full of plants & quite pretty and intimate, tucked away behind the Museumsquartier. Food was solid, nothing exceptional -- about 3 stars in general. I tried Smoked bacon, which was a cold starter: sliced pieces of smoked bacon, served with pickle and grated horseradish. It was fine. Chanterelle Mushrooms in cream sauce with bread dumplings were fine and pretty much exactly as I'd expect, nothing wrong and nothing exceptional. Dumplings were soft. I ordered berry juice from the menu, but without comment or warning, I received it gespritzt (watered down with soda, in a huge glass). Service was mixed and not always helpful. It was getting very cold that night, so I asked my server for a blanket after noticing that diners at other tables had blankets. Our server gave an ambivalent response along the lines of "I'll check, I'm not sure where all the blankets are". After waiting a while in the cold and not hearing back from our server, I asked the host for blankets; he helpfully brought me a blanket a couple minutes later. I don't think the server ever bothered to check on the blankets as promised. read more

It had been 10 years and I couldn't wait to come back here. Anticipating wiener schnitzel and accompanying layered salad. However, the memory quickly faded. The food was not as good as I remembered. The veal was chewy and sinewy with little flavor. Luckily they brought more lemon wedges which brightened the flavor but made the breading soggy. The layered salad was just a bowl of salads thrown in haphazardly. Our waitress was surly and extremely unfriendly. She rushed us through our meal ("too late to order dessert kitchen closed at 10"). She ruined it. She should be fired. It's amazing how poor service can tarnish a visit. Postscript: We went back a few days later and sat inside and were served by the wonderful Natasha who lavished attention on us. Even though it was summer, and very hot, I had to have the goulash--a heaping portion that was tender, flavorful, and delicious. I will come back here every time I visit, it is the ultimate Viennese experience. read more

Came for the roast duck but it wasn't on the menu this time Sunday night + no reservation = coupling table. Server was excellent though. Food was ok but can't compare with other restaurants since it was our first meal in Vienna. Much lighter flavor than US counterpart and less variety. read more

Glacis Beisl serves very authentic Austrian food. The outdoor patio was really nice for dinner as the evening we went, the weather was perfect. They have English menu so ordering was straight forward. Service was excellent but the prices were higher than most other places we looked at. We had the Wiener schnitzel as it was recommended by our waiter. It was little bland in my humble opinion even with the cranberry sauce it was served with. The salad came with some diced up beets and boiled potatoes but again little on the bland side. The boiled prime rib was very tender and good cut of meat but it came in a pool of broth and was more like soup than a cut of meat. I'm sure it's exactly how they are supposed to be but for the price we paid, we expected little more flavor. Overall, 5 stars for atmosphere and service, but food was lacking. read more

I have been off Yelp for a little while but this place has totally re-inspired me!!! The ambiance is amazing, especially on their outdoor patio, and the drinks are very well priced! My roommate and I became regulars here during our month in Vienna, and especially enjoyed the house white win and gin and tonics. Totally recommend this spot for when you are near the museum Quartier! read more

Busy, buzzing neighbourhood beisl, tucked ( literally) into a little gap between flats and the Museum Quartier. Food is standard , hearty Austrian fare- even the goats cheese salad I had as a starter could best be described as "hefty". Pierogi ( as a main dish) could double as sandbags. Gets very busy at weekends- also worth knowing it is often open on public holidays when other local establishments may be shut. read more

Glacis Beisl - Good beer - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

We went out of our way to find this restaurant, and we were very happy we did. It is hidden away from the touristy area, near Museumsquartier. Ordered: 1) Smoky bacon with horseradish shavings: 2/5 eh, I would pass on this 2) Dumpling with Crackling Pork: 4/5 omg...this was soo good! My first time eating something like this! 3) Beef Goulash: 3/5 eh, this was okay even though the beef was so soft and tender House bread is included (need to ask), but we were charged for butter when I asked for some to go with my bread...I thought that was strange... read more

on arrival in Vienna, we didn't feel like straying too far from the hotel and exploring and asked for a recommendation from the hotel (which, of course, can be risky). but this recommendation was great. it's in an area with a bunch of restaurants and bars there is outdoor seating and service is very nice. we had potato goulash which was excellent and a guinea hen. the starter was a soft cheese with roasted vegetables I realize after a few days, that beer choices are a bit limited. it's more of a wine culture. I don't normally drink much beer but it seems to go better with the food here read more

This is a good place to come to get traditional Austrian food - they have large, generous portions and the food is quite good. If you want to come here for dinner, make a reservation ahead of time - we tried to come on a Thursday evening and they were all booked up for the evening. We were able to come back the next day for lunch and get a table, but it was pretty crowded and busy. They have a lovely outdoor garden and eating/drinking area which I'm sure is fantastic in the summer. We ended up sharing 2 appetizers and 1 main dish, and we were stuffed - we could have probably done just fine with one appetizer and one main dish, as the appetizers were quite large. Smoked Trout Mousse - I really liked this appetizer and would definitely get it again. There was a good amount of trout mousse (2 balls, each maybe the size of a racquetball), and it came with some lettuce. You can eat this with the complimentary bread they bring for the table, which goes quite well. I'd recommend this and would definitely get this again. Beef Soup with Vegetables & Dumplings (€ 3,80) - This was inexpensive, a large bowl topped with dumplings. The soup was a beef broth and was flavorful but not too salty, and it was perfect for a cold day. Everyone seemed to be getting the pumpkin cream soup around me, so that must be a popular soup. Schnitzel with side salad (€ 19,20) - We ordered schnitzel because you can't come to Vienna and not get schnitzel at least once. The veal was very thin and it had a lot of breading (as most schnitzel has) - it was good and huge (2 people can probably share this). I liked the salad that came with this - it had potatoes, beets, and lettuce on top with a mustardy sauce. Overall, large portions - authentic food and crowd (it seemed like there were a lot of locals here), and reasonable prices. I would give this 4.5 stars if you're looking for traditional Austrian food. There aren't a ton of healthy or vegetarian options on the menu, and I wouldn't come back here every week or every month if I lived in Vienna since they don't seem to change the menu too often. If you're visiting Vienna, this is a good pick for lunch if you want to walk-in, or for dinner if you can make a reservation ahead of time. The most popular dishes it looked like everyone was ordering was the pumpkin cream soup, the dumplings over cabbage, the trout with potatoes, and the schnitzel. read more

A romantic spot with a magical garden, this restaurant was one of my favorites in Vienna. Regretfully, we only came for dessert, but I would have loved to experience a full meal. If the food is anything like the dessert, it's well thought out, balanced, flavorful, and bold. Get the chocolate cake if it's on the menu. The ambience was somewhat low key, yet busy simultaneously. The service was phenomenal, our waiter had great recommendations for the menu and Vienna in general. I wouldn't hesitate to return here. read more

We ran into this restaurant randomly when hanging around in the area and we were lucky for the selection and very fortunate to have a table. It was a blast... Next time we reserve spot in advance. The food was very good, the service was great, excellent atmosphere and reasonable prices. We had Viennese Schnitzel, soup, Traut (Forel) fish and salad. All was tasty, fresh and decent portion. This restaurant is highly recommended. read more

This was my favorite meal during our time in Austria. Everything about this bistro is awesome: the location (art/museum district), the setting and outside garden area, the atmosphere and adornments inside, and the food, of course. You can just feel, hear, and see the energy of this place, and it only added to the pleasant experience we had here. We were lucky in two parts when we first stepped in. We didn't have a reservation but it wasn't a problem, and we were seated in a semi-private and very comfortable booth that allowed us to really feel and witness the vibe here. The menu was intimidating. Everything sounded good and I wanted a bite of it all. I narrowed it down and was kind of set on two different dishes, not really sure which one to choose, but when it came time to order I called an audible. So glad I did because I scored a touchdown with the Tiroler Spinatknödel, a special of the day. These spinach dumplings were served with brown butter, walnuts, and topped with thin slices of Bergkäse (mountain cheese), and a salad on the side. It didn't look fancy, but the flavors were just perfect: savory and delicious! My wife had ordered the Grammelknödel (dumplings filled with pork cracklings) with sauerkraut which was really good, but we both knew who ordered the better dish this time around. ;o) read more

Very affordable prices, but the service and ambiance feels more high end. Great place for a comfortable romantic dinner without spending too much. We shared the ravioli appetizer, pork roast with pretzel dumpling main course, and the chocolate mousse cake. The ravioli was very average, probably not worth getting again. The pork was delicious! Very well prepared, flavorful and the gravy was excellent. The dumplings were new for us but we enjoyed those as well. The mousse cake was delicious! Overall we really enjoyed the experience, which is why I'm giving five stars, even if our appetizer was a bit of a miss. Plus the bread and fish-y mousse they serve on the table was so good! read more

Another stop on my own personal Beisl tour. Glacis is located near the MQ and has a huge garden outside as well as quite a large area inside. More on the upper end of the Beisl genre with a few fancier, modern touches. But what it comes down to is the food and here there is nothing fancy. Just wholesome, hearty, flavourful plates of deliciousness! Great variety on offer and very decently priced. Nice touch is the branded beer glasses, really cool! Slightly let down two things unfortunately. Namely service and cleanliness. -Although we ordered a salad as a starter we had to ask twice for bread that others automatically received with their salad order. Also it took quite a while for extra cutlery to turn up after our starter cutlery was removed. -Everything was a little sticky and the plates came with a few chefs fingerprints. Despite these two negative comments I would gladly go back again. read more

This place is a great mix of traditional Austrian food and modern gastropub. Traveling with my dad and brother, they want to eat only traditional foods from where we visit, which I'm totally into, but I also miss the exciting new flavors and combinations from my favorite spots back home - so this was the perfect mix. The place is super chic and comfortable and the staff is very friendly. Prices weren't too terrible, but I don't really know what is a normal priced meal in Vienna yet. The outside garden is beautiful - definitely go there if it's nice out. I got the apple-asparagus soup to start which was really good. I couldn't taste the apple, but the soup was frothy and light but still filling and substantial. My brother got this beef platter that was really juicy and melted in your mouth. It also came with a pretty bomb.com latke. The waiter recommended the dish as it was our first night in Vienna. My dad got a schnitzel dish, which he seemed to enjoy (but I don't eat veal so didn't give it a try). It came with a really fresh salad with beats and potatoes. I got the quinoa, tofu, spinach "pan" which came with a curry sauce. I was expecting a formed pancake type of dish, but it was more of sautéed spinach, tofu, and veggies, mixed with quinoa and a curry sauce on top. Really good even if it wasn't what I expected. Would definitely recommend this place during your visit to Vienna! read more

We didn't have reservations so we were initially sat at a communal table across from the bar but after we ordered we were moved to a booth. We started with the pumpkin soup and we were served brown bread. The soup was excellent, and had a wonderfully full flavor. The BF ordered the dumplings stuffed with pork cracklings. The pork dumplings were surrounded by sauerkraut; it had a good flavor but the BF thought it was too salty. The dumplings themselves were really good. I ordered the roast goose and it was very good, with a rich sauce. I've never had goose before. It came with beets (excellent) and potato dumplings. Parts of the goose was overcooked but since it was a big portion I ate my fill and didn't get to that part. A nice first meal in Vienna. read more

We came here on our first night in Vienna. We arrived a little late for our reservation as our flight had been delayed but the staff were friendly and didn't mind at all. They're very attentive (we're used to less attentive waiting staff back home in Paris). We had a complimentary mousse with bread on our table when we arrived which meant we skipped starters to go straight for the mains. I had pork cracklings dumplings which were delicious and my boyfriend had a gigantic portion of schnitzel, which he also loved. We washed this all down which some lovely Austrian wine.

My husband and I came here for dinner on a Monday night at about 5. When we walked in, they said that the tables were all reserved for the night, but that we could have one if we finished before 7. We didn't plan to stay that long anyway, so we were happy to be seated. I ordered an appetizer plate and a soup (see my photo) which were delicious! The appetizer plate had thinly sliced pork belly garnished with tiny sprigs of thyme and served with beautiful purple potatoes and cooked onions. It was very tasty! I mean, pork belly = lots of fat. It was tender and well seasoned and just so yummy! The clear beef broth soup had two sort of dumplings in it made from polenta, I think. It also had diced carrots in it. The broth was warm and rich and flavorful; it was just what I needed after a day of walking around the city! K. had a dish with two extremely large "dumplings" that had pork something inside. I thought it was pretty good and he loved it! He'll probably write his own review of the restaurant, too, so read that for his perspective. We were seated quickly, the food came out within a reasonable amount of time, our server was friendly, and the bill came to only 20 euros. That was an amazing price for the quality of the food that we had. I would definitely recommend that you check out this place! Your best bet would probably be to call ahead to make a reservation, just in case! read more

A nice, modern restaurant, which offers several Viennese dishes. I decided on the goulash, which is an excellent choice. Very tender pieces of beef in a well-flavored sauce. A small pickle offers a palate cleanser every few bites, which was an amazing touch. I also had a Weissebier with my meal, which complimented it nicely. Might've gotten the house beer if I had to do it again. Service is fairly standard for Europe, very quick to get drinks and meal ordered, but had to put in effort to ask for the check. Did not detract from the experience at all. read more

We liked this place so much we went back 2 days later. Right next to the Museum Quarter, along the back of the Modern Museum, it has a lovely garden for outdoor dining. In cooler weather, which we had when we were there last week, the inside dining room feels like you are outdoors--with tall wide windows to the garden. A mix of classic Austrian dishes preparedly expertly and more modern cuisine, there is something for every taste. Smoked bacon with fresh ground horse-radish was a wonderfully delicious appetiser. Their fresh beet salad was a hit. Weiner Schnitzel, made with veal, is tender, and light tasting. Served with lingonberry sauce it was a highlight. Same for the warm potato salad. We tried this dish at every place we ate in Vienna--this was the best. They do a very good Hungarian Goulash too. On our second visit I had their veal filet, with mushroom sauce and parsley mashed potatoes. My wife had pumpkin soup and a kid-sized chicken schnitzel (she wasn't hungry that day). Both were also very good. The service is professional and friendly. This place is a find! read more

On our trip to Vienna, this was the place I chose to try some goulash and it didn't disappoint. It was my first time eating the dish and it was great.

The restaurant is a beautiful lush sanctuary tucked behind the city buildings. Incredible food and wine. The staff was friendly. 10/10

Soo, Bavarian food doesn't vary much. If you don't like meat and potatoes, you're kindof screwed. After spending all week in Munich and just two days in Vienna, I thought I had run the gamut from very bad to pretty good. However, you must withhold judgment until you've had Glacis Beisl. It's right behind the Museum Quarter, but you need to exit and walk the perimeter in order to find it. Once you do, follow the twinkling lights in. Make sure to sit outside so you get the full experience of lights and trees. Between the two of us, we ordered the dumplings with sauerkraut and pork cracklings to start, which were enormous and sooo tasty and filled us up right away. I ordered the Viennese schnitzel, which was super thin and well breaded, served with a lemon slice that you should use liberally. My friend ordered the goulash, which came out 3x bigger than expected and is definitely more solid than liquid - read, large pieces of meat with sauce as an accompaniment. For dessert, our waiter recommended the semolina dumplings, and I have not been able to stop thinking about this dish since we've left Vienna. The soft dumplings contrasted really well with the more textured berries, and it was the perfect balance of sour and sweet. We also ordered half a liter of the house white wine for about 10 Euros - honestly, wine is so cheap in Europe, you should really be drinking it in place of water. Even though we over-ordered (don't underestimate those dumplings), I would still recommend getting everything we did. These are dishes that you could find elsewhere, but I definitely found my favorites here. read more

Everything about this place from the ambiance to the service, to beer/wine selection, and the absolutely incredible food is 5 Stars. And it is very reasonably priced. We got the Beef Goulash, Schnitzel, and Pierogi. Recommend all three dishes 10/10 This place is a must try in Vienna. read more
