I had a chance to try Lugeck when visiting Vienna and this was a nice experience. The ambiance here is very nice for a date night and its a nice spot to try traditional Austrian food. I would definitely suggest to make a reservation ahead of time so you can avoid the long lines especially on the weekends! For food I tried the traditional wienerschnitzel. This is a thin cut of meat perfectly crispy. We also ordered the potato salad on the side which was delicious and flavorful. Overall the meal is a bit dry but worth trying if you want to try traditional Austrian food. read more

Overall this was just an average spot. The schnitzel was good, but the bottom of mine was soggy. Not as big as their famous parent company. they give two slices per dish so it was enough for me to share with my mom. The best part of the meal was the potato salad. The beet salad appetizer was also really good and one of the few vegetable items on the menu. I love the touch of candied pecans. I wouldn't go out of my way to this restaurant just for schnitzel, but would go back if convenient. Service is interesting.... They gave our table a schnitzel, then the waiter realized it was for the wrong table I'm assuming because I informed him we only ordered one and he brought two with him. (basically every table has one mind you). He didn't say anything and brought the other plate to the back. I was waiting for my mom to come back from the bathroom to start eating. Then the waiter came up to my table and just grabbed my plate and put it on the table next to us without saying a word to me. If I was the other table, I wouldn't have accepted it. What if I had touched it? He also didn't explain the situation at all. And he spoke fluent English at the beginning of our dine. Very weird how he handled it. Ambiance is very casual. We made a reservation just to be safe but they only have one line for both reservations and walk ins. read more

Hmmm.... when you don't have reservations at their other location and are recommended to this next best. What I came for the weiner shnitzel and also fries cause that's what I needed. The Fries were not as good as I expected. They cut them in a quite interesting way and it has some chew to it that I am not sure how to describe. The schnitzel was the first time having it the Austian style, and it was okay. The breading was a bit on the thicker side, the veal was thin and tender. The sauce that came with it was okay. The potato salad was really good. But the baby bokchoy was a bit sandy at the root..(normal I guess as it is hard to wash by the roots). Environment I went for a late lunch/early dinner so it was not busy at all. I was seated right away. I got a high top seat and the table was on the smaller side for 2 people. The bathrooms are upstairs and they had many other seating available. Niceness of the staff (not local to Austria) I didn't like that the waters expected a tip, which I guess is normal for Austria but I was a bit appalled.... The service by the waiter was okay, I had 2 waiters in total, one that took my order and served the food and then another to bill me.. not sure how to really gauge the style of service Dollar This is the strangest bill I've received. Everything costed, I am very surprised that they didn't tell me in advance. The shnitzel with the potato salad was 30 Euro, then the sauce costed near 3EU, with my fries - I was charged 1.50 for Ketchup and mayonnaise each. The tap water was also 1EU. Yes? I would not return here. I am not happy with the style of service and also the invoicing. read more

Lugeck - 2025.04.25 - Weiner Schnitzel with the potato salad and fries in the back - Austrian Near Me - Vienna, 9

Very good food, but slightly more pricey than other surrounding restaurants. It does help to have a reservation. I was a bit hesitant to have the chicken, but oh my gosh it was so so good. You could taste a little bit of lemon in the batter coating it and it was light and crispy. Just excellent. Potato salad was good... I find it interesting that every restaurant serves potato salad and a slightly different manner, but I've enjoyed every single serving. Despite the fact I'm not a big potato salad person. read more

We made a reservation, based on the recommendation of our tour guide. Although there was a line outside, we went to the desk and were seated immediately. We were served some water and we ordered wine. My dining companion had the fried chicken and potato salad, I had the beef ribeye steak with roasted potato's and herbed butter. I ordered my steak med-rare and it was perfect. Rosemary roasted potatoes were soft but crispy. The fried chicken was moist. The potatoes salad was half potatoes and half cucumber sour cream salad. Very good but not quite as good as some we had elsewhere. It is a little more $ than other places. However it was a very good meal. Service was attentive. read more

Came here during a couples trip a while back and with the nearby "place to go" restaurant backed up for hours, we were told to give this place a try instead. We were quickly given an outside table and we settled in with a beer as we awaited our meals. My wife ordered the boiled beef which came with a small bowl of soup and a side of potatoes. She enjoyed the meal along with the accompanying horseradish. I settled on the veal wiener schnitzel that came with a side of potato-field salad. The lemon squeeze certainly helped cut the richness of the breaded veal, and the cranberry sauce helped add a bit of moisture to the dish. Was just iffy on the potato salad, not a taste I was very familiar with. All in all a satisfying meal in a lovely setting. read more

While visiting Vienna, my hubby and I stumbled upon Lugeck. Our initial goal was to eat at a different restaurant that serves schnitzels; however, it was booked. Lugeck was packed and we assumed that since we didn't have reservations we would have to wait for a seat. To our delight, they had seating available, and we were seated quickly We red over the menu and decided to start with drinks. I opted for the Organic raspberry rhubarb soda and my hubby had a glass of riesling. My soda was not too sweet but it was refreshing and my hubby enjoyed his glass of riesling. Next, we ordered our entrees. I ordered the cauliflower curry. It came with rice and cashew nuts. I ended up ordering a side of rosemary potatoes as well. My hubby ordered the chicken schnitzel with rosemary potatoes as well. My food was decent. The curry needed more spices though. It was a little too bland for my liking. My hubby liked the schnitzel but he also said it could have used more seasoning. The potatoes were delicious though. The service was outstanding. Our waiter was informative and great suggestions. Our ratings are as follows: Organic raspberry rhubarb soda - 4/5 Cauliflower curry - 3/5 Rosemary Potatoes - 4/5 Riesling - 4/5 Schnitzel - 3/5 Rosemary potatoes - 3.5/5 Customer service was 5/5 for both of us. Overall we rate Lugeck a 3.7. If you are looking for average German cuisine in Vienna, this place could suffice. read more

Service was absolutely outstanding! Nadal was his name I I believe and he was so kind, friendly, funny, and got everything perfect with our meal! The ambiance was very cozy and fun!

Gorgeous restaurant! If you are traveling and need to try the schnitzel this is the place for you. The restaurant sits in this beautiful part of the city, partly secluded street. We had the schnitzel 8/10 which was perfectly cooked but honestly the potato salad 10/10 was the star of the show. I would eat that every day! Get a reservation, this place is incredibly popular read more

Awesome time at a fancy Viennese restaurant which offers the food you have to check off your to do list.

We chose this restaurant because of the gluten free options. There aren't many to choose from, but my daughter has Celiac Disease. She is very sensitive to gluten, and has very painful reactions if her food is not properly prepared. Our waiter seemed dismissive when she asked him to note her allergy for the kitchen. Her steak arrived very undercooked which is a red flag telling us that the waiter and/or the cook were not listening to her request. We asked to speak to the manager who told us that gluten is not a "real allergy." He actually used air quotes. At that point my daughter was in tears. Living with Celiac is hard on a good day. Being told that your autoimmune disease is fake by the man responsible for providing a safe meal while traveling in a foreign country is devastating. I explained that her sensitivity to gluten is in fact very serious, and she showed him an explanation written in German. He then offered to cook her a new steak in a separate pan. In the end, she was able to eat, but I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone with a food allergy. My other daughter and I did not like our meals, but my mother enjoyed her wiener schnitzel. read more

Our tour guide recommended Lugeck to us. It is located in the city center within a beautiful building with outdoor seating. We did not have a reservation, and we were seated right away outside. They have menus in English. It's a bit pricy, as the schnitzel is 26 Euro. But it was worth it. Our waiter told us it was the best. We also had a steak sandwich, and it has the most amazing bread. It was a cranberry rye, which was super crispy with superfoods. It was served with a small salad and cost around 17 Euros. Our waiter Alessandro was so nice and informative. He had great recommendations, and he even told us that their house made beer is the healthiest we would ever have. It was really good too. I would highly recommend Lugeck if you are in Vienna. Enjoy. read more

Fun, lively place. Good place to people watch and be seen. Good food, good service. We enjoyed our dinner here.

We were traveling with a couple that was gluten-free and dairy free. The waiter was very accommodating and explained anything could be made to her liking. Our friend had never had Wienerschnitzel and was able to enjoy it because they made it in a separate pan gluten-free. She was very pleased as were we were with our dishes. The weight staff was great. The food was fresh. read more

So happy we made it here. Made a reservation weeks before and we were instantly seated on the patio. Ordered the Steak Tartare with Avocado, the Signature Breads, the Lugeck Bowl, the Baked Goat Cheese Salad, and Weiner Schnitzel. Steak Tartare was served with avocado making the dish creamier than the classics preparation. Pairs well their bread. Lugeck Bowl and Goat Cheese Salad were hearty and fresh. Nice quality ingredients. The star of the show however was the schnitzel. Perfectly breaded veal and served with a slightly sweet, warm potato salad. I grew up eating German potato salad as a kid, so loved the throwback. Overall, a wonderful evening dining al fresco with a very attentive wait staff. In a city that some say is food challenged, I would definitely consider a table here. read more

This is one of the restaurants of the Figlmuller group. They are known for their veal wiener schnitzel that comes usually in an xl portion extending outside the plate: Part of the typical show but it also used to be very good. The restaurant was very busy on a week day and our table was on the second floor. The server was hectic and short. When he left at the end of his day, his replacement was not better. Another server was equally abrupt. The food was average : The wiener schnitzel lacked salt and had shrunk in size. The typical cranberry condiment did not come with it and we had to ask for it. The mixed salad had too much mayo( !) and the fried raviolis bathed in oil. The house wine was average. Given this experience and suspecting that this place has become a tourist place given the number of posters advertising it's dishes that one can see in several places in downtown, I will try to find other more authentic restaurants! read more

I had a surprisingly great experience at Lugeck. There were both indoor and outdoor dining options. I was seated inside with little wait time. The restaurant was modern and classy. The waiter was helpful and staffs were friendly. I had grilled octopus and cinnamon bake with apple & vanilla ice cream. The grilled octopus was with grilled vegetables and was delicious. The portion was right on. The cinnamon bake, paired with apple sauce and vanilla ice-cream was great. I would recommend this place as an alternative to Figlmüller (they belong to the same group but seem to have different styles. read more

We are out 2 weeks in Europe and this was not our favorite. A bit of a hype around this place, long wait, have to have reservations. We thought it over priced and just went okay. read more

The Figlmüller Lugeck restaurant no longer values Austrian guests. After having several business dinners at this restaurant with a reservation for a table in the garden and always being satisfied, it seems that the policy of the management has now changed. It now seems to be no longer possible to reserve a table in the garden, not even by paying a deposit, even though we were personally on site. It seems as if less value is now placed on Austrian guests or business people. The focus now appears to be more on quick revenue from tourists. I find the decision of the management to be extremely regrettable. read more

I hate to give a place with such great food 3 stars, and I wish I could give 3.5 just for the food but unfortunately the service was pretty terrible and there are many other good Austrian restaurants around this area I would rather go to in order to have better service. We ordered the schnitzel and it was the best one I had during my time in Vienna. The potato salad was ok, it was a little sweet which isn't my type but I know many people like that. The bread was worth ordering simply for the house made butter. The green beans were AMAZING highly recommend ordering those, and the dumplings were just fine but a little oily. I wouldn't order those again. The waiter did not approach our table for 30 minutes before taking our order. We actually had to flag down a different waiter just to get water. He spent a lot of time chatting with tables (which I'm sure they appreciated and would rate well) but unfortunately that left his other tables (not just ours) extremely neglected (no wine refill, delayed food order, no water refill, long time to get check etc.). At first I thought they might be understaffed but throughout the night we saw many waiters and a variety of tables being full and tables being empty and our service did not change (maybe just our section and our waiter). The front desk was disorganized, an entire line of people with reservations waiting outside amongst people without reservations, one woman even cutting the line to say she had a reservation when others in line were waiting to speak to the host for the same reason. Bringing us to our table was extremely confusing as they grouped us with another group but didn't tell us to follow or where to sit. All in all, really great food clouded with poor service and disorganization. read more

Honestly I expected something more given the hyped. The potato soup was good but I think the truffle wasn't as after I felt sick. The roasted vegetables were too oil. The salad was good. The ambience is nice though very big and can get pretty loud. The service is fast, could be more welcoming. read more

We went here for our last night in Vienna, as it had appeared on several food blogs we found online. Several bloggers had touted that Lugeck has some of the best schnitzel in town! We decided to try it out. We ordered the burrata caprese, the Kärntner Kasnudeln, and of course, the Wiener Schnitzel. First of all, the caprese was one of the best I've ever tried (and we eat a lot of caprese at home). The Kasnudeln came with two very large dumplings. It was very oily but also very aromatic and flavorful. The schnitzel was some of the best we've tried on our trip. The servings were a little smaller than the gigantic portions elsewhere and the tab a little more expensive expensive. However, this was well worth it since the quality of the food and the service were exceptional, and we still couldn't finish all of our food! read more

We've been here a few times and enjoyed our experience. Today, I walked up to the indoor hostess with a reservation. This guy in a suit tells me I need to check in with the outdoor hostess (they were busy 2 seconds ago). I walk out, and the indoor hostess walks out with me, to walk back inside with me to get me seated. What on earth. I've always gone straight inside without issues. Service from everyone else was top. Will think twice about coming back, even though our server was amazing. read more

I heard about Lugeck after visiting Figlmüller and asking where to get a true veal Wienerschnitzel. I was pointed about 100ft (30m) down the aisle and saw the sign for Lugeck Figlmüller Wien. Lugeck is still a Figlmüller restaurant, but looks much more modern than the original Figlmüller. I was greeted by the hostess and seated immediately. As soon as the waiter approached and asked if I wanted to drink, I stated "ein bier, bitte". He then proceeded to ask me if I needed a Deutsch or English menu. I said I don't need any menu, just "ein bier and Wienerschnitzel". He soon figured out that I don't speak Deutsch, just know the important words for "one beer, please". After eating a few schnitzels in town, including "the original" schnitzel, I've determined that this is the best. A pork Wienerschnitzel does not compare to a true veal Wienerschnitzel. If you're just looking for a Wienerschnitzel that is as large as your head and popular, go get a pork schnitzel at Figlmüller but if you're looking for a great tasting meal, Lugeck is definitely the place. I'd also recommend getting it with preiselbeere (lingonberry) and of course, a nice, cold bier. read more

In search of some traditional Viennese cuisine, I stumbled upon this place while walking downtown. The building itself is a sight to see and apparently has quite some history. The menu was pretty straightforward and already knew I was going to order the Wiener schnitzel with potato salad.

I didn't feel rushed, the server was polite, and I was able to relax a little before heading back out to explore Vienna. read more

DON'T COME HERE! Terrible service! Our waiter was both terrible at his job and extremely rude.

Their horrible service ruined one of our last evenings in Vienna. read more

Food is delicious. Service almost fast. Ambience is good but crowded with too many tables close each other.

Service is horrible!!! So, we walk in and this restaurant looks amazing! The exterior is beautiful and then the interior also looked nice. We got seated after a while and then we looked at a few menus. The menu looked really good! Everything was pricy, but then again, you are in Vienna. The food all looked good. We got some wine and finally got to order. The food took forever to get there. We started out with some wine and some sausages. I ordered the Artic Char Tartare and the Viennese soup. I ended up getting the wrong food!! I wish I had sent it back the second I got it but I honestly just thought that the dish was different than I had imagined. But no, the horrible waiter ordered me the wrong dish. I still maintain that he did it on purpose!!! So my bill ended up being 30€!! This was rediculous. The server had also added the trio of sausages to our bill too! We had to pay. It was annoying cause we thought it was a given appetizer. The service is just horrible. I bet he did it on purpose because we aren't from that country. It was also super slow to get service. They weren't attentive and they gave us a water jug but no water glasses!? The soup was okay. Mostly just brothe. It was just super meh. wasn't really worth the cost. 4.9€. I also got the reisling wine. This was too dry for me. But it was okay. The Fish filet that I ended up getting wasn't bad! It was cooked too much, but it was tasty. I really didn't like the mashed potatoes. This dish was not worth 22€! It was pathetically tiny. But the quality was nice. I would love to come back for the food, but I leave them at a 1 star for the horrendous lying & manipulative service! read more

I found this place accidentally when I wanted to eat im Figlmüller but there was very long queue. I Found Lugeck which is located few meters from Figlmüller. It seems that this restaurant is newly opened. Staff is very friendly and smiling. I was sitting opposite to kitchen so I saw all meals served to other people. All of that was looking amazing. I had veal schnitzel with potatoe salad (What else you should try in Vienna?) and I have one word for that "amazing ". I deeply recommend this restaurant. read more

If you are looking for something local, Lugeck might be the place for that. I first saw this place when I was just wandering around with my partner and friends. We decided to give it a try since we both wanted to try something Austrian. First, I really like the building there, it got old classic building look outside, but inside was quite a modern place. its located close to the Stephansdom, although we couldn't really see the cathedral here, I think the view was still quite nice. The restaurant was quite big, but also full of people. I suggest to make a reservation before coming to this place. We also got one, so it didn't take us long to get a table. After we settled down, the waiter brought the menu to us. I was just looking at the "Weiner Klassier" area tired to find something special to try out. I picked the Tafelspitz & Beinfleisch im Topf. The food was great, it say it in the simple term, it like a pork leg soup with meat ball. It reminded me of some dishes I have in different kitchens before. But it also tasted different, finer and lighter taste. The Schnitzel from my friend's order also looked delicious Overall, we all enjoyed our food. The service was really nice as well, they brought everything to our table and helped out when we need something, really friendly. I think, considering the location of the place and how it looks, the price seems quite reasonable to me. It's great place to have dinner. read more
