Was a recommendation. Came right after opening time, and there was plenty of outdoor seating. I got to try the pork hock and the ribs. The racket beer was tasty. The pork hock was a little salty but paired nicely with the saukerat. I didn't really like the potato dumplings because were they were mushy and not flavorful. The ribs were fine, if it was less dry the the ribs would have been really good. read more

Our first night in Vienna, we found Salm Brau. It was literally steps from our hotel. My husband ordered the baked casserole, similar to lasagna, and I ordered the lentils dish. It's lentils with a big dumpling, or like bread, in the middle. I love lentils and wasn't disappointed. My husband, who is quite picky, liked it too. Yay! Of course, the local beer helped him wash it down. By the time we left, this place was packed out. I would've like to return for another round but there are so many places to be. I'm craving the lentils now. Enjoy the fresh, natural, no preservative packed food in Europe. Embrace it. It's good for you and your body. read more

Fantastic ribs! This was our first stop on our Austrian vacation, and it was very good!

Made a reservation for dinner, but it didn't seem necessary since there were so many tables. Tried the ham knuckle/spare rib platter for 4 people and the schinkenfleckerl (Austrian pasta with ham and topped with cheese). The ham knuckle/spare ribs were solid, with some super tender pieces, but some drier pieces. There was not a lot of potatoes with the dish. The pasta was just ok. It reminded me of a casserole. Didn't have much ham in it. The service was super fast here, maybe because our waiter was in a rush to go home read more

Really like this place. Waiters are attentive, beer is plentiful and good and the food selection is great. We sat outside and enjoyed the evening brisk air, people watching and enjoying our beer. The only beer I wasn't fond of was the spicy beer. I loved the "burn", that was spot on, but the actual beer taste was very flat, and destroyed the good burn I enjoyed. Unfortunately it cost us 9.50 euro to discover after two tastes but there was no offer of a taste since it comes in a flask. The other beers were all excellent and the farmers plate with various meats was delicious and easily split between the two of us, both of us having plenty to eat. read more

Saw that it had great reviews for their beer and ribs so went after visiting Belvedere. Low quality of meat and super overcooked as the spare ribs are like hard rocks. I would not go here for some fingerlickin' ribs. Service is non existence and I've seen other reviews where the waiters will force you to tip a certain %. Please don't get bullied into it! This is abnormal as I've been to other restaurants and cafes in Vienna that don't do this. Went during non peak hours with many empty tables but was sat in the under ground cave area that smelled like sewage. Staff was using this area to organize and prepare silverware & transporting tables and chairs for the actual restaurant floor. read more

Stelze is out of this world! The food is just so good and I have been dreaming about eating there again. I will be back for sure!

Came here for dinner on our first night in Vienna because it had great reviews and it was close to our hotel. My friend and I got there on a Sunday night at around 6:30 and there was a line that wrapped down the stairs (mind you, the place is pretty huge). It moved quickly though. We were seated in about 5 minutes or so. For drinks, I really wanted to try a flight of their beers since they brew their own. But I always wanted to try some of their whiskey since they distill their own. Since I didn't want to be on the floor, especially not after just getting off a plane, being jetlagged and sleep deprived, I opted for a 2 oz. taste of the whiskey and one of the smaller sizes of the Salm Braeu Böhmisch, their dark beer. I didn't care for the whiskey, and the beer tasted a tad watered down. For food, we decided to order a bunch of plate and share. For starters, we got the Beer Spread (secret recipe, hot and spicy smoked meat pate toasted with cheese). I really liked the flavor of this but I wish it wasn't so salty. The bread it was served with did help cut the saltiness a bit but not really by much. We also ordered the Vienna sausage (not canned) because we both wanted to try it. This tasted like a super smoky hot dog. I could have done without this. For the main entree, we had the pork hock for two but this could have easily served three people. Again, they love the overuse of salt here bc the pork hock was too salty (although not as salty as the beer spread). The skin was super crispy, which might be the only thing I really enjoyed out of this entire meal. Aside from all the sodium, the other negative was that service was pretty slow. We got our menus, orders taken, and food out pretty quickly. But after that, our waiter pretty much ignored us. We would try to flag his attention and he'd look over and pretend he didn't see us. We finally got him to look at us and ask for the check, which never came even though he walked past our table a few times. Finally, I got up to ask him for the check again and he came around with it. Maybe we went on a busy night and maybe we ordered the wrong menu items? But based on this experience, I probably wouldn't recommend Salm Brau. read more

Had a very good salad here while looking around the Belvedere. Surprising actually because I was pretty bummed when I saw that we had walked into yet another Brauhaus after being seated. Our server was gruff but good (we were told this is just the way they are in a Brauhaus). The chef salad consisted of greens with tomato, cucumber, corn, strips of cheese and tender ham, with yoghurt dressing. It was fresh and delicious. I was really missing veggies so this hit the spot. The yogurt dressing was very very good. I'd like to know what it was so I could make it at home. I also chose the Toscana Rye bread special which was served toasted with broccoli,tomatoes, pepper, sweet corn & mozzarella. It was pretty big and it was loaded with broccoli and veggies. NOM. No complaints from me. Fast service, good food, decent price. It's definitely a place I'd recommend to others. read more

It seemed like this restaurant is a Viennese chain place, which I try to avoid, but that said, I had a really delicious lunch here. Their menu is traditional Austrian fare, heavy on the meat and sausages. HELLO, MY PEOPLE. Lots of beers, in sizes from reasonable to OMG. I had a beer, some delicious sausages, and and INCREDIBLY delicious bowl of creamy garlic soup. That soup sounded somewhat unusual, and you don't often see that on the menu, so I had to have it. Creamy, garlicky and - wow, it was good. Located just around the corner to the Belevedere Palace, it was my nod to mainstream tourism. After I viewed "the Kiss", I got garlic soup so no one would want to kiss me. Done! read more

This place is wonderful. Full stop. We had a short day in Vienna before our train to Prague. Our hotel was just on the other side of the train tracks from the Belvedere so we decided to spend our time there. On our way in to the castle grounds, we passed the entrance for Salm Bräu. I see the word for 'brewery' and I am IN. We decided we would try and make our way back here for a late lunch before our train. After a couple hours at the Belvedere and the grounds, we made out way back to Salm. They have menus available in several different languages, and are very capable in speaking English. There is indoor seating, but even more outdoor space. We took a high top table just outside the door. I wasn't terribly hungry so I just got the Kartoffelpuffer (potato patties), which were a-ok. They actually came with a salad as well, which pleased me! We each opted for a sampler of their beers. And they are DELICIOUS. I liked every single beer they had to offer! So flavorful :-) They aren't just a brewery either! They are also a distillery so they have some of their own schnapps and whiskey. I totally got a shot of some bierschnapps to end my meal with! About when we were done eating, we asked if the cellar was accessible. Silly us...OF COURSE it is! I thought that it was just going to be a beer cellar, but it is a whole other room with bars and tables! It is only open in the evenings/at night, but our waitress took us down there and showed us around quick. It almost made me wish we had been able to come later in the day and been able to eat down there! But the beer garden was absolutely wonderful. Even though it was packed with people, I didn't feel crazy cramped. And overall, it was priced very fairly. As an experience, with good food and great beer and wonderful service: 5 STARS!! I only wish I could go back again....right now! read more

This place is a go to for some Austrian food and beer. Our group got the ribs which were very tasty, tender, and plentiful. It has a main level and a bottom level. We opted to sit in the basement which was a little less busy. The main level seemed to be where everyone was. I suggest the beer cabbage as well for a side. The liter beer steins are huge. The service and price were average for Vienna, but doesn't disappoint. read more

Superb, old school, brewery with a nice traditional menu and servers in traditional costumes. It can get crowded so get a reservation; I made mine easily over email off their website. The cream of garlic soup is amazing, particularly if you've never had it before (it my first, and wow). The wiener-schnitzel was very good, not too big, pounded thin, with no too much crust and served with buttered, warm parsley potatoes. The in-house Pilsner was very good. The strudel was kind of a B+ effort; I'm glad we split one because we were so full anyway. Fun place, touristy but also seemingly popular with the locals. read more

Excellent and fun traditional Austrian beer restaurant . We had the best Wienerschnitzel and mixed salad and the beer was fantastic . also the service was attentive when needed and the joint was hopping. So conveniently located right next to the Belvedere (Lower) Museum read more

This brewery restaurant is right beside the Belvedere and my hotel. The restaurant is a hall that used to be the servants' quarters of the Salesian Convent, where its founder, Empress Analiza Wilhelmina, had lived. What to eat? I asked the friendly waitress for recommendations. She recommended the 'original Viennese Schitzel' made from veal with a side of parsley potatoes and cranberries. Back in the States my schnitzel dinners were usually made with pork. I ordered two more items but she warned me of the big servings and advised me to just order later if I'm still hungry. Then she took this picture of me with the big beer menu book. The servings were big enough I still had take away ( that's what they call it here ) read more

Another fun experience. Salm Brau is another typical Austrian restaurant. Well not as typical, as they server a pig leg that is massive which most others don't server. In addition to that difference, both times I've been they had a fire beer called "Burning Hell". Warning: Do not order this beer. That being said, I have ordered it both times I was here. The first time was because I didn't know any better and it sounded good. The second time was becuase they only have it in a 1L bottle and my colleague wanted to try it. I thought I could tough it out, but it's just not enjoyable. Even as a joke. Luckly it is onlly a seasonal beer so you may not see it. The rest of the food is very good. Garlic toast of course and most people get the pig leg and ribs. I have shared these before and also had the turkey schnitzel once. Everything was quite good so I can't imagine much on the menu is very bad. The atomspehre and server for a brewery are quite good, so head in there for a good evening if you are close by. read more

first dinner in Vienna. Stared with two beers - Weissbier and Marzen. The marzen,a red brew was complex and delicious. The wiess was smooth, nutty and cream. For dinner a traditional Weiner Schitnel and the farmers banquet. The weiner schnitzel was wonderful. A large, pounded thin piece of veal that was served with cranberries which was a delicious accompaniment. It wasn't heavy at all. On the side was boiled potatoes with butter and parsley that were nice and simple we also had a side of red cabbage that tasted great. The farmers banquet was just that - the meats and sausages were delicious. Some more smoky than others, some just melted in your mouth. The beer cabbage was delightful, something I never had before. It also came with a bread dumpling that wasn't that great. Overall a wonderful first dinner in Vienna. So good we tried it again, this time we had the spareribs and goulash. The goulash was outstanding and reminded me of my mother's. The ribs were not that good, a bit dry. The end of the night was topped off with a delicious shot of apple schnapps. read more

This place is awesome. Come here for a really traditional Viennese meal and setting. We sat outside at one of the picnic tables and had an absolute feast. They serve LARGE portions which we appreciated after a long day of touring. I follow a few food blogs and they insisted we try the pork knuckle here, so we ordered the single portion of pork knuckle which is essentially a haunch of ham served with horseradish, a bread dumpling, and the best cabbage I have ever tasted. YUM. It was FANTASTIC. We also ordered the pork schnitzel which was quite good (a little dry) but pretty amazing which came with the best potato salad. The potato salad tasted like it was made with some sort of vinegar versus mayo which was a good alternative and tasted different but different in the best way possible. We also had a few beers which are all brewed in-house. These were very good as well. All in all, a great meal and great outdoor setting. You can also sit inside but we enjoyed the picnic table set up. It's a good sign too when you see and hear a lot of locals. read more

While vacationing in Vienna, I visited this place 3 times! Granted it was within walking distance of my hotel, but this place was still solid. Every night I had the flight of beers. So yummy! As for the food, I ate a whole array of food off the menu, and there wasn't a bad thing I had. It was simple pub food, with an Austrian touch. The ribs were amazing! The 3 sauces that came with them were so good. I had the goulash which was so good. That bread ball in the sauce that came with the goulash was amazing. The hubby got the cordon bleu one night and that was delish too. There is really not a miss in this place. I do have to say the beer bread app was a little strange tasting. When I asked the waitress what it was, the language barrier was too much and she couldn't tell me. Ah well, when in Rome:-) read more

This is a cool pub that brews their own beer. It's right outside Belvedere so it's a great place to stop by during your visit to the gardens and palace. We had the beef goulash and spareribs. The beef in the goulash was very tender and pulled apart at the touch of a fork. The spareribs were a large portion and flavorful. Definitely try their beers while you are here! read more

In Spring 2018, our UK-based group had a wonderful dinner there, as part of an incredible rail tour around Europe. I would judge it as one of them the best restaurants I've ever had the pleasure to visit. Being a brewhouse in Vienna, of course the menu was authentically Austrian. There was a very wide variety of food on the menu, the servers were knowledgeable about the dishes and perfectly comfortable conversing in English. That helped me greatly, as I struggle with German words over nine syllables.... As a non-IPA beer fan, Salm Brau was also a good choice, brewing several types of beer the original way. The building dates to 1717, fitting right in with Vienna's elegant architecture, while having all the modern conveniences. Needless to say, I strongly recommend having a dinner there if you find yourself in Vienna. read more

This was the best welcome to Vienna lunch I could possibly imagine. With the Vienna card you get a sample of a schnapps.

Very nice experience. Food is great. They also prepared blankets for customers in case someone needed. Very thoughtful.

Salm Bräu is a great restaurant serving authentic Austrian cuisine. The atmosphere is like a classic Austrian Beisl (pub) only the servers are consistently friendly and helpful! When I ate fish there once I asked for tartar sauce and they didn't grumble! They brought it quickly and didn't even charge me for it! It's almost a sureal to experience such enlightened service in an old-fashioned Beisl atmosphere. Considering its ideal location right next to Belvedere palace, they could have easily made this place into a tourist trap, but it most certainly is not! Locals frequent this place day and night. They have great lunch deals and lovely "belegte Brote" (bread with different toppings) if you're on a tight budget or not that hungry. They have great beer and the coffee is good, too. There desserts are lovely and traditional as well. All in all a great place for lunch, dinner or just drinks or coffee. read more

My grandfather always gives me great advices... "When a place is always full it surely has something good to offer" I remember this the first time I came to Vienna. 1st time passing by: full ... 2nd time: full and like that until one day I decided (with no regret today) to give it a try. The environment is always cheerful and maybe a bit loud if you are at the terrace, the service is fantastic. Regarding the food, the ribs are definitely one of the best I've tried (and I have to "ribs-addict" brothers!)
