The service amazing our waiter (Aleks) was professional & courteous, exchanging conversation & recommendations. Our drinks were delicious. I ordered the minestrone soup it was good but not exactly what I expected. Hubby had the beef wok with little spice, it was good but still really spicy. Our friends ordered the Risotto Chicken Curry & the Pizza News. Both meals they said were excellent & each would order them again. The Risotto was his absolute favorite meal he's eaten during our entire trip so far. Trust me when I say that's a huge compliment. **** UPDATE **** I hate making BAD reviews but this post needs to be added to. We visited News Cafe on Sunday & Monday evenings which resulted in the above review. However, Tuesday we went at noon & talk about a different story. The two female waitresses were absolutely rude. We arrived & ordered drinks first, I ordered on Aperol Spritz, hubby hot breakfast tea & water for the third person in our group. What we got was nothing we ordered, I got a fizzy apple juice (tasted but did not drink, it was gross similar to sparkling apple juice in the states) hubby got earl grey which he didn't care for either. The servers avoided our table like we had the plague. No it was not busy. We finally got someone to return to the table I reordered my Aperol Spritz & was actually asked if I wanted it with wine or prosecco, prosecco it was. I asked for the daily special (tomato soup with mixed green salad) and was informed I couldn't make up menu items. Said I wanted the tomato soup, it was tasty obviously freshly made. The guys ordered fries & once again received rude looks & eye rolling. After finishing our snacks we decided that if this had been our first experience we never would have returned. If you want a great experience at News Cafe go on the weekend/evenings when Aleks is working you won't be disappointed.

It was almost empty, and separated into a smoking and non smoking area, which I appreciate, but there was no physical barrier so... Basically it's all smoking. The waitress was nice but not overly friendly (although she ended up being one of the friendliest people on our trip in retrospect, turns out the Austrians -at least the one we met- are not particularly warm and fuzzy people.) We had the boiled beef which came with delicious potatoes, chive sour cream, and horseradish applesauce. This was super delicious and one of the Viennese specialties on our to-try list so we were happy to check it off! We also tried the turkey schnitzel which came with a "salad" (iceberg, a lot of tomatoes, and potatoes?) Prices were reasonable and atmosphere was cool. I'd recommend it for Viennese food or a drink!

When I think about beer, I don't often think I love beer, but really I do love beer (red wine,…read morebourbon, tequila and BEER). Craft beer! I love pairing beer with certain meals and I love a good IPA. We flew back into Wien to catch our flight back to the states and stayed one evening at Brauhof Wien. The concept may be lost on some, but I actually LOVED the fact that everything about this place was based on beer and the brewery. We were hungry when we arrived and while I wasn't planning on dining at the hotel for dinner, it was late and we ended up choosing to eat here. I was very pleasantly surprised. My dinner was fantastic, every aspect of it. I ordered a small IPA, very tasty in my opinion and I can be snobby about my beer. We both ordered the schnitzel, something I've only ever eaten once before in Berlin. It was so yummy!!! I'm the last source in the world to judge a schnitzel since I don't know a good from a bad, or how it's supposed to be but this tasted great to me. The cold potato salad it was paired with was soooooo good. It's a dish that really impressed me and I'd love to recreate at home, the small chives on top were a nice touch and I noticed the kitchen used them on an egg dish the next morning while at breakfast. We also ordered an apple strudel which was the best of the two I'd had in our few days in Vienna. The atmosphere was calm as it was near closing time 10p, but seemed like a fun spot. I'm not positive I'd say go out of your way to come here but everything was very good and service was nice and friendly. If you are staying here, dining here is a nice option if it comes down to it. I was completely satisfied with everything.

We visited on a Sunday evening & it was not busy. We sat in the dining room as there was a chill to the air outside, but we were right next to the window looking out to the garden seating area. Our server was very blunt & to the point not appreciating our questions regarding the menu so we didn't ask too much. We ordered drinks first, followed by the beef soup with vermicelli & veal schnitzel both were tasty according to those that ate them. Hubby has a severe dairy allergy so menu choices were extremely limited according to the menu legend so he had fries & we picked up something elsewhere. It was ok but nothing we would return for during our visit.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, but did not interrupt my solo-night more than necessary. Great music selection that is a mix of 70s-present tunes, that all flowed well together. I love apple strudel and was very excited to finally have some in Austria. This did not disappoint. I recommend it with the vanilla sauce. I also had the schnitzel with potato salad - I have not eaten much here yet so can't compare it to others, but it seemed good. Price - 17 Euros got me a glass of red wine, pork schnitzel with potato salad, and apple strudel with vanilla sauce.

This is a great hole in the wall bar/restaurant. It separates itself between the bar area and the…read morerestaurant area. I've been here for both areas. This place was right by my hostel, so I made this one of my "regular" spots for the time I was visiting. It's definitely a dive bar, no question, but the people there are sooo nice! You truly feel like more than just a customer. The bartenders feel less like employees and more like regular joes. They have karaoke night. I can distinctly remember people of all different nationalities singing "Imagine" by John Lennon in drunken harmony. That was a great night. They also have a place for posting notes of different travelers who've visited the bar. This is a good way to leave a memory of yourself after you leave. As an American tourist, I can't say I've tried goulash all that much, but the goulash I had here was fantastic! I can't really compare the food vs. other places because I haven't had much experience, but THIS dish was good! I recommend checking it out at least once. It was located near my hostel, so honestly that had a lot to do with my frequent visits there. My experience was great, but if you had to travel far to get here I can see a less favorable review. 3 stars!

For Austria, the prices were fairly reasonable. The menu, printed in English and German, was loaded with traditional Viennese fare. At first I was going to go with the standard goulash, but then I spied gnocchi in tomato sauce and I was done perusing the rather substantial menu. (I know, I know, Sacrilege ordering Italian in Austria, but hey the stomach wants what the stomach wants). The gnocchi was surprising diversion from the many servings of goulash and sacherwurstel I had had on my trip, All I good think of as I took a bit of my creamy gnocchi was that some one had kidnapped an Italian chief and chained him to the stove...I hope they give him time off for good behavior but not before I have my next visit..yum The Beer is, of course, with a wide selection. This place has a nice mix of locals and tourist so it should fit the needs of just about anyone. Service wasn't horrible, but it was a little slow even by European standards; this might have been because most of customers were sitting outside and I had taken a seat inside. The bar was really cool and I wanted to take in the decor, otherwise, I would have taken a table outside. This is a great pub, and I only wish that I had the time to stop in for a drink later in the evening.

Besides Schnitzels, they have a lot of other traditional comfort foods. I had the schnitzel cordon bleu. The meat was perfectly fried and stuffed the ham and cheese was delicious.
