But, it's only perfected with good quality cows. A lot of the popular restaurants have it on their menu but Plachutta specializes in it with more than 10 cuts to choose from!! Recommend going to the og location near Schonnbrunn for a more local crowd. The best way to experience would be getting the "gustostuckerl," where you choose 3 cuts. One of which should be Tafelspitz, the rump of the cow, known to be the emperor's favorite cut I personally preferred the fatty cuts, kavalierspitz (shoulder) & beinfleisch (rib). Love how rich and flavorful the broth is and I know it would taste even better during winter.

However, we could not find any open seats at several cafes in the zoo. Cold and exhausted, we walked out of the zoo and looked for a place to have lunch. It was very fortunate to find this nice restaurant which serves variety of meat dishes, soup, salad, and of course great drinks! We ordered our favorite white sausages with salad and hot soup. They were delicious with a tall glass of dark beer. Service was good, too.

We were looking for a spot for dinner that was close to Schönbrunn palace and noticed this…read moreonline-it's a short, easy, 15-minute walk from the palace gate to the restaurant situated in a pretty little village just outside the palace walls. It's a big lively beer hall with big long tables and lots of groups enjoying themselves after work. Our table for two, situated upstairs in this massive place was the exception. Waiters were efficient and we they provided us with English menus to make choosing from their dozens of options easier. Like other Austrian restaurants we've visited this trip, the portions are massive-they make the US-sized big portions look small. My wife's chicken "schnitzel" (thin pounded chicken breast) was two large pieces that each covered the 10" dinner plate and was served with about a pint of German potato salad while my fresh fish (fried perch) wad two 8" long pieces, about an entire head of steamed broccoli and a couple of cups of buttery parsley potatoes. In addition we ordered their version of a caprese salad (tomatoes and fresh mozzarella with basil) that also filled an entire large plate. I suppose owing to the size of the restaurant (must seat at least 300-400), the food arrived super quick-salad in about 5 minutes and main courses very shortly after. With a couple of glasses each of a local red wine, the entire meal was less than 50€! Unfortunately we couldn't even eat half the food although from our perch on the 2nd floor looking down across the balcony, we did observe lots of local people, including women, who did! Bottom line, festive place with a great value.

Half sauna/half mountain hut the decor seems not to have been changed in 30 years but not in a bad way! Instead of being quaint it gives the place an air of antiquity. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the food was pretty decent if a little highly priced. Good selection of traditional Viennese fair and a special asparagus menu during the season. Unfortunately it closes quite early so you need to eat a little earlier than (I at least) "normal." Nice place to take people from outside of Austria to get that quaint feeling and its location is pretty decent too. Away from all the tourists but close enough to Schonbrunn to pop in for a quick bite. There is also a fairly large beer garden outside which must be great in the warmer months.

The outdoor seating is great during the summer days/nights and its a perfectly OK to bring along the children of all ages. Above all the service is excellent and the location is completely clean.

We traveled from the city center of Vienna for their veal Wiener schnitzel. Cost for one plate 26 euro. Potatoes lacked salt and flavor. Wiener schnitzel was very poor quality and meat was inedible. Mixed salad had a tiny dribble of tasteless salad dressing which was overpowered by the bitter greens. Truly a horrible experience. Regarding Service: ordered a gin and tonic, received a small glass of Prosecco. 1 star earned for cabbage soup which was edible.

TL;DR - Authentic Heuriger experience and easy striking distance of the city centre…read more We wanted to visit a Heuriger whilst in Vienna, but since we were relying on public transport access was an issue. This one is about a 10 - 15 minute walk from Ottakring U-Bahn station so it's an easy journey from the centre of Vienna. Make sure you have a map though - it's not far from the station, but it's not the easiest of places to find. This was a throughly authentic Viennese experience - good food and great wine, served in a small courtyard which was absolutely packed out with locals. Service was OK if a little slow at times. Definitely worth a trip out of the centre, but I'm guessing there are better Heurigers elsewhere.
