It's not much to say that this is probably the best schnitzel I've ever had considering this is…read morewhere the dish came from. But what the hell. I'll say it anyway. Best schnitzel I've ever had. Through my travels, I've never shied away from fried pork or fried chicken or fried anything really, but schnitzel has always held a special place in my heart for how it feels, tastes, and pairs with cabbage and potatoes and beer. Trifecta. The schnitzel here is generous to say the least and it comes with a side "salad" which is actually a plate of slivered cabbage, sliced potatoes, pickles, and some butter leaf lettuce on top for good measure. The dressing they use for this salad is a force to be reckoned with and I absolutely love it. I make it a point to eat here every time I fly in and out since I stay at the Hein Hotel down the street after I land and before flying home. The outdoor patio seating is ample and open but to do be aware that smoking is allowed so that might turn you off. Indoor seating is comfortable and also plentiful. Bathrooms are clean. Serice is prompt. Beers are wonderful. Prices are incomparable for such quality. I will say that the mixed grilled plate (pork, turkey, bacon, ribs) was not very good and if anything, I'd just say order the ribs if you want something of that nature. Get the schnitzel. Get the dumpling soup. Get the beer (Gosser is not something I can find in OC and it's wonderful). Enjoy the patio on a sunny day. Walk off your meal through the park just behind the restaurant. Enjoy.

This little corner Gasthaus is my "Cheers" of Vienna! Everyone knows my name, where I live, and…read morewhat I drink. You can find all kinds of 3rd District locals hanging here with the owners Michael and Andrea for lunch, a beer, playing cards, or taking a break from working at Town Town or on the local construction sites. With homemade daily menus starting at just 6,40 (including soup) and ranging to about 12 euros max., this place can't be beat for a traditional Austrian meal. I have actually never needed to look at the menu! They always offer at least three different daily specials. Come hungry because portions are large, or bring your own plasticware to pack up and take leftovers home. This place is also great for a private party or event. They will close the place down just for you and your friends. We had my husband's farewell work party there with ribs and beer. They were so accomodating and the ribs were amazing! A downside is that it is so small and it is a smoking locale, but it usually doesn't matter since everyone is stuffing their face!

Very cozy restaurant that is located in a touristy area, but is not. There were few English…read morespeakers there and the norm is to share a table, if your party is less than 4. The food was very good and traditional. I highly recommend this spot if you are in the area.

Very nice Austrian restaurant offering all traditional dishes with some modern presentation and…read morequality products. Several products are bio and they even shoe on the menu their suppliers (all local). They also have a daily menu which changes depending on the season. Probably the best address on the area and with good price/quality. Friendly and fast service, you should probably book specially for the evening and weekends.

The restaurant has multiple daily lunch meals (Mon.-Fri) that are really delicious and the portions are very big. The lines due tend to be a bit long during lunch hours, but slow down around 1300. The restaurant is very spacious and keep well cleaned. I was amazed by the amount of people that visited the location while I was there. Just goes to show that some places are worth visiting again.

I was utterly charmed by this place, and it's one of my favourite restaurant memories ever. I was…read morevisiting Vienna from Los Angeles with friends, and we spent the day at the cemetery nearby - I don't think we would have found this spot otherwise. It's a quaint place: an old-fashioned building, eclectic décor, candlelight, pewter serving platters. We ordered beers, served in tall steins, and plates of schnitzel that the menu said was served with "a potpourri of salads". The schnitzel was AMAZING. It's one of the best meals I had in Europe (and we dined at Michelin star restaurants on our trip). The potato, vegetable, and condiment accompaniments were perfectly paired. The Austrian beer we tried, Edelweiss, was great. Note - the furniture is old. If you're not a bumbling boor, this won't be a problem, but one annoying person in our group thought he'd be cute by dramatically falling back in his chair when I asked him to move so I could take a picture of the empty dining room. The chair wobbled and he thought it was buckling, so he slammed his knees up under the table, knocking over his tall, full beer. I was so embarrassed that the staff had to bring a towel to mop it up, and they declined to replace it for free as his stupidity caused the spill (not that I blame them one bit). He didn't want to add another charge to the bill, so he got to sit and watch us devour that delicious schnitzel with our beers as he stared at an empty glass. Schnitzel with a side of schaedenfreude.

The Concordia Schlössl is an out-of-the-way Viennese treasure. Located down in Simmering across…read morefrom the Zentralfriedhof, this old establishment has lots of charm. For example, the dining rooms don't have electricity - just candlelight in the evening or the natural light coming through a stained glass skylight during the day. On warmer days, there is a large gastgarten outside to take advantage of. And what about the food? Well schnitzel is king here. There are many variations including their own unique cornflake encrusted rolled schnitzel called the Concordia Super Schnitzel. With its lentil, salami, and cheese filling, it's very tasty. Try it! And for dessert - don't miss the Topfen Palatschinken! I don't really know how to translate this into English but don't worry - your taste buds will!! So if you are looking for a unique dining experience in Vienna, put the Concordia Schlössl on your list.
