After a early morning tour, our group met and walked over to Zum weißen Rauchfangkehrer for our lunch... about 35 people. We all grabbed a seat at the family style tables and prepared ourselves for what was about to be a very [very] robust lunch. Happily, everything was picked out for us. Our first course was a beef broth soup with one very large dumpling. Rich-tasty and delicious. Our main meal consisted of Schnitzel with potato salad. This was and remains the best schnitzel of the trip. Delicious, fresh and incredibly tasty. And, of course, we hd to end with a Strudel. This was just amazing. I also loved all the wines that we had throughout the meal The old style decor of this shop was wonderful and the service team was amazing, friendly, and helpful. I really wish it was a bit closer to me here back in the states. I could not reccomend this place enough. KUDOs to the team at Zum weißen Rauchfangkehrer

There is automatic cover charge of 5.5 € per person for bread butter and sun flower seeds that the restaurant call "small surprise ". When asked, the waiter said that all Austrian restaurants include that . Ordered Schweinsweiner, kavalierspitz, and consume soup. The soup is so salty so the house took it off the bill. Very unfortunate for a Michelin mentioned restaurant. The ox spitz has the crispy bread crumbs on top with soft meat on top a bed of veggies. Highly recommend. Vienna Schnitzel is ok but the schnitzel one is better. Service is good. The house did bring out the cucumber cold soup to clear the palate and the cold chocolate to end the meal on the house. Very nice service.

We arrived at Plachuttas a little after 1:00PM and it was not crowded at all. At first we wondered…read moreif we should stay. We did. Sat outside as it was a beautiful spring day. Menus and bread serving arrived. $4.80 per person. Oh well. We decided to share and we selected the white asparagus with a tomato and egg relish with a vinaigrette and an Order of Wiener Schnitzel with potato salad and lingonberries. Our food arrived very quick. Both dishes quite good. Not the best we have experienced in Vienna and not the worst. - Wiener Schnitzel: best one of the week. It was thin as it should be and not greasy at all. Wish it had been cooked with a little seasoning. Salt and fresh lemon solved that problem. 4/5 - Potato Salad: excellent. Almost addictive. Loved the fresh mache and pumpkin seed oil on it. 5/5 - Cranberry Sauce: or as I call it lingonberry sauce. Average. Tasted like out of a jar. But good. 4/5 - White Asparagus: served with a tomato herb vinaigrette with chopped egg. Wish the asparagus had been served warm then topped with the vinaigrette. Would made the dish pop. Very good. 4/5 - Atmosphere: Outside was glorious. Area was spacious. 5/5 - Service: waiter was abrupt and would disappear for lengthy times. Must have been really busy inside. 3/5 - Value: somewhat overpriced. Think the mandatory $4.80 bread service per person put it over the top. I expected outstanding bread and got a very small serving of bread and a pad of butter with a couple of tablespoons of a herb mixture.

Food dreams can be restored in future nights to come. I guess I just did not care what anyone thought. I took pics anyway. I just thought I was being sensitive to other patrons. Let's just say I tried to not be too obnoxious about it. So, yes I did consume with my camera first! I can say with absolute certainty, that this was our most perfect and intimate dining experience in Vienna. It was just lunch! The surrounding patrons appeared to be locals with huge platters of piping hot Wienerschnitzel, succulent looking meat falling off the bone....oh my, I could go on and on. Lord help me, that was a great experience. I ordered an exquisite Riesling that was perfect with my meal. I ordered the Goose Soup to start with. I shake my head now in disbelief of how perfect this soup was and LUSCIOUS. It had this potato dumpling in the middle that absorbed the creamy broth with every single bite. I was sad to see the dumpling and soup go away as I savored every spoonful. My husband had a potato soup that included mushrooms and he was pretty much freaking out about his soup as much as I was (in his own, subdued, calm manner....opposite mine!). Then Meine Damen und Herren. We have the Weinerschnitzel. Oh my goodness. We split the massive and simply prepared veal weinerschnitzel with the lemon wedge squeezing the only and perfect seasoning you need for this deliciousness in front of you. I cannot even express the greatness of the potato salad that accompanies. Smooth and creamy mustardy goodness. I would seek out this restaurant again. If every authentic Keller type dining experience is this good in Vienna; I am in big trouble!

Your order is taken by the waitress for the starters, sides, drinks and dessert and the butcher takes the order for the steak. We opted for 300g of Austrian ribeye and 300g Austrian fillet both medium rare, with a starter of steak tartar and side of Viennese mushrooms. Once our orders were sent in, out came a warm bread with salted herby butter. Then another appetizer of mini onion tart and mini brisket sandwich. The tartar came out next, and it was so flavorful and not diced too finely which I appreciated. I could taste the subtle mustard notes and really enjoyed letting the flavors unfold as I ate slowly. Our steaks and mushroom dish came out next, and I did notice the filet was closer to a rare cook and the ribeye had a medium cook. I ate both with the flakey sea salt that was on the table. While both were good I would prefer the cook to be closer to medium rare. The mushroom dish was wetter than I expected, I tend to prefer mushrooms a bit drier as I prefer the drier texture. We were too full to order dessert but we were given a complementary hazelnut flavored macaroon before we left. Overall this is a beautiful restaurant with great service that would be great for a special occasion.
