Fantastic food and ambience. Boiled beef was great and the Viennese steak was so tasty. We will go back next time we are in Vienna!

Super laid back with amazing Viennese food. From the Viennese sausage to the potato streudel and even the fish, the food was excellent. The apfel struedel was just ok but this was one of my favorite meals during our visit to Vienna. Just a note, the English menu is not as extensive as the German menu so ask them to guide you through the German menu to make sure you don't miss anything. To their credit, some of the items that were left out may seem a little adventurous for foreigners (fried brains, anyone?) read more

Best weiner schnitzel I had during our trip and I ate it pretty much every night. We took a short tram ride from our hotel and a short walk from the stop, maybe three blocks to the restaurant. They were very busy but got us in even without a reservation, thanks, and service was prompt and polite. If we're ever in Wein again we'll stop in. read more

Crazy good food at unbelievably cheap prices. The bone marrow was to die for. We found ourselves fantasizing about moving to Vienna just so that we could eat there all the time. And we kept on thinking the prices on the menu must have been missing a digit or something cause they were so low. Seriously, they have table clothes, fine tableware, and multilingual waiters. This place is a mouth watering bargain. read more

We stayed at the Hotel Konzerthaus, and several times during our stay in Vienna we walked past this little subterranean hole without knowing anything about it. My partner and I both prefer to eat at small, neighborhood restaurants whenever possible and this looked like it might be fun so, on our last night in Vienna, we tried it out. I wish we'd gone sooner. Although it's not much to look at on the outside, walking inside is like visiting a place you've gone all your life. We arrived at 8:00 pm on a Monday evening and were seated immediately. (They serve until 11pm or midnight, which can be a huge bonus in a city like Vienna.) The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly people all around you, subdued lighting and candles on each table. The menu might be a little intimidating to those who don't speak German, but there is an English menu at the back of the book which spells out about half of the dishes for you on a single page. The other eight pages of the menu were drink listings, so don't let the heft of the menu intimidate you. Being German illiterate, I let our waitress suggest a dish. She said that the Pike fillet was excellent, and I went with her suggestion. Several other tripadvisor members recommended the mushroom-potato soup so I had that as an appetizer, with a bottle of Grieskirchner Dunkel beer to drink. My companion ordered the fried turkey strip salad to start, and was kind enough to give me a sampling of it. The meat was hot and crispy, perfectly fried and absent any greasy aftertaste. The greens were crisp and lively, and the tomatoes full of flavor. I had not expected to like the use of tartar sauce as a dressing agent, but I found it to be surprisingly appropriate! From the first spoonful of my soup, I never wanted it to end. It was a well-balanced, creamy exercise in everything a soup should be. It had complexity, it had heft, and it was totally satisfying. Creamy broth was fortified by a good amount of small chunked potatoes and small, whole mushrooms. There was a subtle, acidic tang to the soup that I think might have been lemon, and at one point I would swear that I crunched down on a fennel seed. Whatever was in there was magic. By the time I finished it, I could have pushed away from the table and been completely happy. But then, the main course appeared and I retracted that thought. The pike fillet was served on a bed of creamy mushroom risotto, on top of a generous smear of flavorful pesto. Surrounding it were fresh florets of broccoli and cauliflower, sugar snap peas and carrots which had been perfectly steamed. The fish might have been a *tiny* bit on the dry side, but I'm not going to count that against the dish because the flavor was excellent. The risotto was creamy and smooth, (and perhaps a bit gummy, but since even the best prepared risotto begins to get sticky after about 30 minutes, that's something I have come to expect when eating it in a restaurant) and had a good number of those delicious small mushrooms in it. Several times during the meal, I found myself making embarrassing little grunty noises while I was eating, the surest sign possible that I'm very happy, indeed! My partner's main course was the goulash. It was bold and had strong notes of pepper in the sauce, the meat was tender and well trimmed, and the potatoes that accompanied it were tender and buttery. Several times during the meal, I couldn't resist the urge to reach over and help myself to another forkful of that delicious gravy. It may be a long, long time before I am able to return to Vienna, so I wasn't looking closely at the cost of each individual item we ordered. When the final bill arrived, I was pleased to find that dinner for the two of us came to 47 euro plus change. We spent that much the night before on a substandard meal at a far more well-known Viennese restaurant! In my mind, this meal was an absolute BARGAIN! All in all, it was a wonderful, wonderful meal. In contrast to what some few others have said on here, the waitstaff were very pleasant and easy to deal with, and were gracious when receiving our rave reviews of the food. In searching through my electronic translator, I learned a new word last night to complement the food to the staff - Erstaunlich! - Amazing! read more

Was here on Easter Weekend. It was brutally cold and it was a nice respite after a long day of traveling. Restaurant was jam-packed and we were led downstairs to the refurbished basement. Beautiful decor but short on wait staff and there were long waits between courses, in spite of our highly competent waitress. As for food, flavors were decent but some dishes including the fish and oxtail ragu (their version of surf and turf) was not as advertised - very little oxtail versus fish component. They gave me he wrong sausage appetizer but the bone marrow app was great! read more

Get the pumpkin soup with almond polenta ball. It was amazing!! The veal schnitzel was a little dry. I had a better schnitzel at S'park by Wien Mitte. The bone marrow toast was good. read more

Downsides: - DISHONEST WAITERS - They charged us for a portion of goose which we never ordered; - BAD SERVICE - I ordered wine, which was never brought; my colleague ordered a glass of red wine, but they brought her white wine; - VERY BAD AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM - for me and my colleagues it was hard to breathe due to the lack of fresh air and poor oxygen content inside this basement restaurant. THE ONLY upside was tasty goose. However, having lived in Vienna for 3 years, I am sure you will find numerous Viennese places with better service and the same or better quality of goose or food in general. A bit of context: We were a big group of people from an international organization celebrating Martinigansl 2015 at Gmoa Keller. THE BOTTOM LINE: GO ELSEWHERE! ...Unless you want to feel disappointed and indignant after visiting a restaurant. read more

We loved this place! We booked a table for 10 people and 12 came for brunch on a Saturday. It was no problem. We had a nice long table and the food was delicious and plentiful. It got quite busy by the time we left, so it's good to go early and get a reservation. read more

This place was absolutely delicious! Their bread was amazing! I had their garlic soup which was the best one I had while in Vienna, and a fish entrée which was also very delicious. This place is a great value for your money. The service was very good and everyone was really nice read more

I loved Gmoa Keller! I decided to come to this restaurant right after I arrived in Vienna because 1) I was starving and this restaurant was right around the corner from my apartment, and 2) the Yelp reviews said that they had an English menu. I'm so glad I did because this restaurant was great. The waiters were extremely friendly and service was very fast. They had the best potato salad I've ever had! And the Viennese coffee was absolutely delicious....also, props to the waiter for not laughing in my face when I misread Viennese for Vietnamese, ha ;p The outdoor seating was perfect when I went during the Summer. I highly recommend. read more

One of the best restaurants I've been to so far! Unusually friendly service, a range of austrian specialities to be chosen of, extremely tasty food, non-smoking area. Apfelstrudel is just hillarious! read more

We really enjoyed this old, classic Vienna Keller. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. ALL the staff was efficient, professional, and friendly. They change the menu daily, but my wife had the grilled pike which was super, and the pumpkin soup was also great. I doubt you'd be disappointed with anything on the menu. We used Uber to get there, which made finding it easy. Definitely with reserving a table. read more

nearby the Hotel Incontinental Wien.. I had the best wiener schnitzel there.. nice little quaint place to check out before or after the theater.. A must check out! Nice for dates! read more

Very good food. Services was fantastic. Portions are a very big size. I had the schnitzel it was the size of my head. They had traditional Austrian dishes that were enjoyable. read more

If you're using a credit card, be careful. I asked for a percentage to be added as tip. I signed without carefully reviewing the receipt. More than the percentage had been added, *and* they also added a 3% "convenience" charge to convert to USD. (I never asked to be charged in USD and wanted to pay in EUR!) Also, the food was just ok, and the waiters were generally inattentive. read more

Very good restaurant. Would definitely recommend the pork schnitzel with the potato salad #1. Loved the service too.

This place had a good rating for a reason. The service was great. They sat us down even though we didn't have a reservation. They provided us with good recommendations and all were hits. Pumpkin soup was fantastic! There were no pressures to leave (even though there was a reservation for our table). Highly recommended. read more

Great food good price. Make reservations beforehand, it is normally packed with locals. Had a great evening here. The pork schnitzel was great and less than 11€ and bigger than my head, great value compared to a lot of restaurants I have gone to in Vienna. We tried to go before but then made reservations to go later in the week. They speak English on the phone for reservations and have an English menu. read more

Good food, but it would be much better if I could have read the full menu. They do have one page translated to English, but I suspect the really authentic options are only on the German menu. read more

Excellent experience and food. Our server, Antonas was especially attentive and helpful First class all around.

I agree the English menu is not extensive. Thanks for the review an pictures as I was able to eat vegetarian because of it. You can ask and the waiters are patient but not super patient. Food is quite good and nice atmosphere. read more

This was such a nice place to eat! We tried the night before but needed a reservation so we went at lunch time the next day to make a reservation for dinner the same day. We were able to eat outside at the end of March (with heaters that got almost too hot). The staff was very accommodating for us and brought a decanter out for our wine. The bone marrow appetizer was delicious and the wild garlic soup was amazing. They utilized the wild garlic in a lot of their dishes as it was also in our polenta and with our fish entree. It wasn't just the traditional Austrian food that you see everywhere like the sausages, schnitzel, and goulash which was nice to get more vegetables in our diet. My father was ill this night so we might have to go back before heading back to the states. read more

The food was nothing I've had before and it was excellent. The lamb tagliatelle was exceptional as was the schnitzel.

Came here with my family for our first dinner in Vienna. It was quite busy and we hadn't made a reservation but were able to get seats within a few minutes. My mom got a mushroom goulash, my brother the schnitzel, me the veal special, and my dad a mushroom ravioli. We all really liked our dishes. I also got a local beer which was one of my favorite ones I tried on our Eastern European tour. The waiter was very friendly and even made jokes with us when we asked about the mushroom which had a name we had never heard of. read more

Very traditional, enjoyed the Coffee immensely. Was going to Symphony and love there soups with semmel, my favorite. The veal and the beef we shared -it was so generous a portion. Thank you great Waiter Staff! read more

The schnitzel is pretty dry... the beef goulash is actually kind of smelly... potato soup is pretty good!

We went to the restaurant on Saturday January 6th, 2019 and unfortunately found it clauses even though your site indicated the restaurant was open. For the future please keep your site updated. read more

Very nice place with traditional Austrian food. I'd recommend reservations for dinner as the place fills up rahter fast, especially again around 10 when the concert in the nearby Konzerthaus finishes. read more

I was looking for my first Austrian food and this place sort of delivered. I ordered the Liver with potatoes and it was delicious! Service was poor though but you always expect that in any european country read more

The portions are too small and the staff is stressed ( de aufdringlich) but the food came real quick.

Ate the Wiener Schnitzel and it was delicious. Staff was friendly and service was quick. Will go back before leaving Vienna.

Really rude and bad services here. Staffs giving attitude when we tried to speak in English and they misunderstood us. Food are above average, their food are really salty. read more

Food is of great quality, waiters are nice. Well priced. Just don't have dessert.

This restaurant offered great service. Our ordered schnitzel and goulash are very delicious. Salmon duet is a bit mediocre though. Overall, a great place to test Austrian food. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch on our first day in Vienna and feel that it was a waste of a meal. Don't see the appeal that earned the current high rating. 4 dishes were all just 'okay'. Service was average at best. This would be a 3 star review, but downrated to 2 stars for the numerous flies around the interior of the restaurant and the fly found cooked into one of our potato salads. read more

Delicious food, great service and charming ambience. our group of five all enjoyed our meals - boiled beef( so much better than it sounds), schnitzel, goulash and steaks. Highly recommend. read more

I don't like to hand out 5 stars, but the meal was amazing. The trout was cooked superbly and the veal and butter noodles were savory. Sat on the patio which had average ambiance, but the interior has a genuine vibe. Wait staff very solid. read more

Went back in the summer while visiting Vienna and staying at an Airbnb close by. Good tasting food...if they could just get it right! I ordered steak and requested medium for a cooking temperature. It was nearly raw. Had to send it back so my husband ate his meal alone while I watched. When they brought me out another, it wasn't cooked much better but I no longer wanted to wait and just ate around the edges which was somewhat cooked. The service was also unimpressive and our drinks sat empty quite often. After ordering a glass of wine, the order was forgotten and I had to ask again 10 minutes later (and the waiter seemed somewhat annoyed that I pointed out I was still waiting for my drink even though he'd forgotten it completely). The food was tasty however so I'm hoping we caught an off night and that others have better luck. read more

So glad Yelp led us to this restaurant! We had just arrived in Vienna, it was late and we were hungry. This restaurant had good reviews and Yelp said they were open late so we gave it a shot. As we approached the restaurant we noticed how busy and lively it was. Most of the seats outside were filled and the air was full of conversation. That was a good sign. Though I had read that there were more options on the German menu, I ordered off the English menu. We had a fish dish (zanderfilet) and a steak dish (zwiebelrostbratena). The steak was good but the fish was so so good! And beautifully presented with vegetables and a beggar's purse with some sort of mashed vegetable. Both dishes were under 16 euro, and with two beers the total came to about 38 euro. Pretty good for such a nice meal. The service was good as well. The following night we thought it would be good to try a different place, and we checked several reviews that showed the restaurants were open late, but when we got there the kitchens were closed at both establishments (points off Yelp). So we went back to Gmoa Keller since we enjoyed it the first night anyway. That night was much colder than the first, so there were no tables outside and the awning had been drawn back. It was quiet inside, but several tables were occupied. The waitress told us to take any seat. We asked for beer recommendations and she was nice enough to bring out some samples to try. This time I decided to try the German menu. A different waitress helped us and told us what was on the German menu that was not on the English menu. We chose another steak dish and another fish dish. So good! Again! A whole fish with a side of potatoes and a whole steak with potatoes and side dishes. The waitress (the first one) chatted with us for a bit and recommended another restaurant owned by the same chef or owner or both, I'm not sure. It was called Waldviertlerhof. We ended up going there a couple of nights later, which I will write a review for separately. Let's just say it was a completely opposite experience, mainly in terms of customer service. Thank you, Gmoa Keller, for a wonderful couple of nights. We will be back the next time we're in Vienna. read more
