Really nice seafood place located in the Naschtmarkt on one end. It's on the pricier side (20-30 euros for most entrees) but seems less touristy than the other restaurants in the market. The menu is all simply prepared seafood - various fish, shellfish, octopus, calamari, etc. I really enjoyed my grilled octopus with a side of arugula and tomato salad. Complimentary bread is served with a dish of olive oil with chili flakes. My friends' dishes all looked delicious as well, and we cleared our plates.

Service took a longgg time, i don't care much about how nice they were or weren't but we waited at least 30 minutes for food to come. When the food finally came, it was very fresh, as advertised. I shared a umar plate for two which came with a fillet of every type of fish and a whole fish, i'm not sure which was which. It came with two king prawns which were very good, and two wild prawns which were DELICIOUS, granted they were kind of salty but since it only came with two shrimps, the flavors were amazing. it also came with four pieces of calamari. All the fish were pretty good, nothing bad to say about the taste, it just took forever to cook. My friend ordered a turbot fish which was good, can't really taste a difference between many white meat fishes. It also came with two scallops which were very fresh as well. We also got baklava which was delicious but a little too sweet, but it was really good.

We were wandering around Naschmarkt and was kind of eenie meenie miney moeing around to pick a lunch spot. We saw that this restaurant was bustling with people.. So we thought we'd give it a try. When we approached the entrance, we were asked if we had reservations. We didn't. So he pointed us to the outside patio. We didn't mind since there were blankets (are we suppose to use these or are they to cover the cold, metal chairs?) and had heat lamps all around. Another couple was behind us, and they got seated outside as well. I'm not sure if it was bc we were tourists, but the couple that came after us got their menus first, got their orders taken first, and had their food come out first.. Now onto the food, We got the prawn risotto and the special, which had a variety of grilled seafood. The risotto was tasty, a bit too salty for my liking. The grilled seafood was excellent! still had an oceany taste to it, that's how you know it's fresh! This place is very pricey though and service wasn't that great..

If you are looking for fresh and tasty fish & seafoods, you are here at the right place! Sure, it is quite expensive... But on special occasions, eating in this famous restaurant (really appreciated by our fellow Austrians!) is a culinary experience your papilla will remember and honestly worth its price! If you have someone to share it with, I would recommend to take one of their fish plates, so generous and perfectly cooked you will leave this restaurant with a happy belly and a smile on your face! Beware: it can be very busy, especially on a Saturday night: don't hesitate making a reservation!

Famous dining place in street market, even in Michelin guide. Reasonable price. Significant location, easy to find, just at the entrance of fish market, Naschmarkt. read more

Located in Vienna's bustling Naschmarkt Umar Fisch Bar is the more casual sibling of Umar Fisch, its outdoor patio offering an al fresco opportunity to enjoy fresh Fish and Shellfish from Wednesday through Saturday beginning at noon. Known for a creative Chef's Menu but also offering a la carte eating it is largely amongst locals that guests are invited to enjoy plates both classic and modern, daily Wine specials frequently focusing on local labels for less than €6 a glass. Lively but restrained thanks to professional service, the laid-back atmosphere in no way suggesting a kitchen that isn't serious, Frito Misto arrives lightly battered and perfectly fried while jumbo Prawns come bubbling in a clay vessel loaded with Butter and Hungarian Paprika that will see complimentary Bread used to sop up every last drop. read more

Nice location, and good fish. The ambiance is right for Nashmarkt. Service was not the fastest ever, but one has to remember that Vienna is not the fast paced San Francisco Bay Area. A bit pushy with their request for a tip. But to end on a positive note, their Austrian Riesling was so good I had a second glass! read more

This place had the worst service. We had to literally walk away from the restaurant. This guy was the worst! read more
I had a wonderful lunch at the market-located seafood restaurant. Everything we ate (and apparently the people at the tables around us) was sparkling fresh and superbly prepared. I had a starter of plancha-charred octopus that was juicy and smoky, and simply perfect, followed by a wonderfully cooked piece of fish. Nice service, nice patrons, exellent location. A fun lunch, and highly recommended! read more

Sehr leckerer und frischer Fisch, der beste in Wien. Ich empfehle den Fisch in Salzkruste und gegrillt, sehr köstlich. Ich verstehe die ganzen schlechten Bewertungen gar nicht.. der frischeste Fisch denn ich gegessen habe und super zubereitet und nicht stark gewürzt da es nicht jeder mag, nachwürzen kann man ja selber! Wir kommen gerne wieder! read more
