We love this place. We were seated at the high top table so felt like a king and queen. The service was friendly; the food was excellent. I had a perch on a spinach risotto that was out of this world and my husband had the boiled beef which he ya still raving about, we're going back in no a few days.
Enjoyed a tasty dinner will in Vienna, though I have no idea how to pronounce the name, the food was great, and apparently very "traditional" per the suggestion of our hotel. Just a short walk from where we were staying it was in a beautiful neighborhood, with exciting old architect. Luckily we were able to walk right in, though I might suggest making a reservation, as most places we dined at in Vienna asked, even on a Tuesday night. I considered getting the Wiener schnitzel, as it is more traditional, but opted for the chicken version instead as I'm not too keen on veal. The serving was massive, and came with a cranberry sauce which complimented it nicely, as well as a choice of sides, which I struggled to understand, as they were not listed, but opted for a "baked potato", which per American standards was more like a roasted potato. Service was ok, a little abrupt, and maybe not overly welcoming, but perhaps that is just the culture as well. Worth the walk, and it was a filling meal. Would maybe visits again.
Nice place near Marriott to eat outdoors before walking over to St Stephen's cathedral area to explore. They have a small but classic Viennese menu. Steak tartar and zwiebelrostbraren, a beef onion gravy was tasty.
I went here with my mother in law, I thought the food here was just okay. Nothing to write home about. The veal knuckle was not that tender (although disclaimer, I've never had one before) so maybe my expectations were too high? My mother in law got the beef in onion. It was also just okay. The pumpkin soup had a weird aftertaste to it. The mashed potatoes my knuckle came in were great. We looked at the Weiner schnitzel, which was huge.
I'm still not sure how we were lucky enough to end up dining at Huth Gastwirtschaft, which was recommended to us as one of the best places in Vienna for traditional Austrian food. And the fact that I don't speak German means it will forever be a mystery. The first issue we had to overcome last Friday night was to figure out which Huth was the Huth we wanted. When we got to Schellinggasse, we found two Huths on opposite sides of the street, and we weren't sure which of the two was the one that had been so highly recommended. So we studied both the menus hanging outside and what we could make out of the diners through the windows, and were able to determine that the Huth on the north side of the street had no tablecloths and served more casual food such as burgers, while the Huth on the south side of the street--the one with Gastwirtschaft in its name--appeared more upscale both in the table settings and what was being served on them. So we went in and asked whether we could have dinner. Unfortunately, we were told ... no. Which is understandable--it was a Friday night between Christmas and New Year's, so it made sense restaurants would be busy. But it was our first night in Vienna, and we were hungry, so we thought we'd give it a shot. I then asked whether there were any openings for two later in the evening, because we had no problem coming back. Again, we were told ... no. As we buttoned up our coats and started heading back out to the street, a grey-haired woman seated at the bar said a few sentences--in German--to the server who'd turned us away. Irene and I then stood in front of the restaurant wondering where we should try next, when the server rushed outside and waved us in. "Come, come!" Puzzled, we went back inside and were given a table. I have no idea what the woman said to get us seated--was she the owner, taking pity on two bedraggled tourists?--and due to the language barrier, we'll never know. I'm just extremely grateful, and happy that we got a chance to order from this menu, which proved to be second in quality only to Steirereck of the meals we had in Vienna. While we waited for our appetizers, a server brought over bread and a complimentary container of potted foie gras--very delicious, very creamy, but far more volume than Irene and I could do justice to with what we knew was to come. Then our appetizers arrived. I ordered the greave dumplings on white cabbage with bacon, while Irene chose the Carinthian cheese ravioli with brown butter. We shared the appetizers, as we shared all the courses here, and while I liked them both, I preferred the greave dumplings to the cheese ravioli, though I suspect that's more on me than the chef, because I'm more a meat guy than a cheese guy. Plus, I was intrigued by the greave, which I've never had before. (I ashamed to say I had to Google later to learn about the tasty filling I'd just eaten.) For our main courses, I ordered Original Wiener Schnitzel of veal, while Irene went with the Cordon Bleu, stuffed with Alpine cheese and Tyrolian bacon. The schnitzel, crisp, thin, and flavorful, was the best I had while in Vienna, and while Irene's Cordon Bleu was also delicious, it was perhaps too similar to the schnitzel in style for us to get a full sense of the range of the menu. Perhaps we shouldn't have ordered two fried dishes. Ah, well ... next time. Our entrees were served with warm potato salad, which up until we tasted it, we'd thought, based on the coloring, was baked apples. Light, and a good contrast to all that fried food. For dessert, I ordered Tartlets with Powidl in buttered breadcrumbs with stewed plums, a dish I'd never seen before. I didn't even know what Powidl was! Turns out it's a filling of plum stew. Irene, of course, ordered the homemade apple strudel with vanilla ice. The tartlets turned out to be my favorite dish of the evening, and one of my favorite dishes of the entire Vienna trip. The dough was soft but chewy, the breadcrumbs that covered them making for a nice contrast. And the Powidl had a tartness to it that added a minor bite to the dish. Not that the strudel should be slighted--its pastry was among the best we had in Vienna. Huth Gastwirtschaft is definitely worth a visit--though don't make our mistake. Get a reservation in advance! After all, there might not be a mysterious grey-haired Austrian lady to utter some magical words in German that will open a table for you, and you wouldn't want to miss out.
yesterday I discovered the Restaurant Gastwirtschaft Huth. We had a traditional "Ganslessen" there and i must say it was deliciouse. The service was excellente and very considerate. The waiter was not at all pushy but straight there when you needed something, like a very caring shadow who only gets into the light when you need something. :) The Gastwirtschaft is compared to other Huth restaurants down to earth and somehow a mixture between a traditional local food place and upper class restaurant. Its interesting to go there and actually feel like in a middle world of comfort, relaxing stylish and traditional good Austrian food. Wines come only from Austria - a little minus for me, because i have a very high regard to spanish and new world wines.
We were very confused when we got here, since there were 3 different Huths, all on the same street across from each other. After going back and forth like idiots looking at the menus (all part of the tourist experience :-) we went to the one subtitled "Gastwirtschaft", which seemed to have the most "traditional" menu. I agree with another reviewer, it would have been easier to have the German names to identify what the dishes were, we were guessing away, but that's the whole fun of it. We had a most pleasant meal, ended up sitting next to two other Americans, comparing all our dishes, chatting the night away about Napa/Sonoma and getting excited about their stories of heading to Turkey and Hungary next. I started with the yummiest soup, then had the Wiener Schnitzel, which was excellent. Hubby had the ravioli, which were textured more like dumplings, but still pretty good. I had the apple strudel, which was really soggy and not tasty, so I ordered another dessert, an ice cream ball with caramel in the center, which was better. The people at the next table really liked their dishes. Definitely worth a visit.
Amazing service and absolutely delicious food. We had the goat cheese with beets and dumplings to start. The goat cheese was so light and fresh. The dumplings were served in a bed of the most delicious sauerkraut. We then ordered the boiled beef with crispy onions and potatoes. The beef was perfectly cooked and served with a sauce that reminded me of a French onion soup flavor. Absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone traveling to Vienna.
The fried Calf liver was cooked perfectly with light breading. Yes the Schitzel is what people love, but if you like Liver the fried calf liver is spot on. Reservations are important - I got in at a single table. But several customers where turned away , on a Sunday night!
On our fifth visit to Vienna we finally made it to Huth...shame in us. We lost out. We had a perfect lunch. We arrived without a reservation, received a warm welcome and were quickly seated in the bar area...perfect. We ordered the wiener schnitzel and opted for the fries as a side. We also opted for a special of the day which was an Asparagus risotto. The food arrived and both dishes were beautiful. The fries were piping hot and had a perfect crunch with a soft inside. The schnitzel was some of the best of the trip and the serving was huge. Then there was the asparagus risotto. It was so pretty we didn't want to eat it but we did and not a morsel remained. It not only had asparagus in it but it was dressed with freshly sliced green onions, a few fresh bright red grape tomatoes which had been blanched. It was then topped with a dollop of creme fraiche and then further topped with a few little micro greens. Not only was it beautiful is was outstanding. Service was great. All patrons seemed to be locals which is always a great sign. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend. Will definitely return next year. read more
Refreshing good Viennese food - close to the nearby square as well as row of hotels on the ring. Outdoor seating was perfect on a warm summer evening to enjoy the city feel. Food was all too notch favorites for the area - can't go wrong sharing a few things across your group! read more

Great authentic Vienna food. Off the beaten track, no large crowds, you'll think you are lost, but the food is delicious and service is very good. Daughter had the ravioli and it was amazing. Small portion is all you need. The grilled perch fish is awesome with risotto. Highly recommend!!! read more

This is the best place to get the wiener schnitzel chicken (we didn't try the traditional veal here). Reservations are generally necessary, but we were able to slip in at the bar. Food comes fast, hot, and delicious. read more

Going down hill. Was much better in past. Seasonal chestnut cream soup was watery and lacked flavor. The veal meatballs were meh. Side salad was best part of meal, sadly. Service was absent and disinterested, in a lightly populated dining room. Sad. read more

We had just arrived in Vienna and found this place. They require reservations and were very busy but they managed to find a table for us. The service was cordial and helpful in explaining their special dishes. We chose the cordon blue and veal meatballs. Both were excellent and the price reasonable. We can't wait to have another meal here. read more
