Quite tight seating. Restrooms are not accessible by people with limited mobility. No baby changing stations. The food is okay. The schnitzel was fine and so was lamb. Okay to eat but not memorable. Caprese salad was tasty. In conclusion, if you are passing by and hungry, feel free to stop by. If you are looking for a memorable lunch/dinner experience, plan to visit a different establishment.

So, it was our first night in Vienna and we stumbled upon this hidden gem. I honestly can't believe…read morethat it has only been reviewed a handful of times. Anyway, here is my review... The seating is indoor (fairly small - but enough room to not feel cramped) or outdoors. Outdoor seating was plentiful, but like most people in Vienna, the locals all seem to smoke. So we opted for indoors. Our waitress was kickass. Right off the bat she was welcoming and on it. We ordered Gruner Vertliner wine, which arrived promptly and a carafe of water... which was nice touch. Our waitress recommended the "fried chicken" (which was similar to schnitzel, but with chicken - and only better) and the gnocchi with smashed peas and chorizo. Both were fire. We also ordered the no bake chocolate cake and it was really good. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. We may be going back tomorrow.

Once you first enter the main doors of this restaurant, you will walk down a flight of stairs which leads you into a larger dining area. I was told a lot of people have tripped on this staircase before because its steps are uneven, so be careful! The decor has so much history and class. I spent quite a bit of time looking at the many displays exhibited around the dining tables. Service was excellent. Our server asked us to wear their signature feather hats! It was fun taking pictures with them! VEGGIE SOUP (3/5) It was a clear soup with lots of veggie flavour. I would've preferred it if they toned down the salt. PORK SCHNITZEL (5/5) Omg, this was delicious! The pork schnitzel had the right thickness to it - not too much flour and not too much meat. This dish also came with potatoes and salad on the side. Loveddd this! APPLE PIE (5/5) One of the best apple pies I've ever had. It's hard to balance out the soury and sweet flavours from the pie and the apple. This dessert had it done right. It came sizzling hot, which was another plus. I'd recommend this restaurant to my friends who plan on visiting Vienna :)

There were two seating areas: The tables inside were cozy but the terrace was delightful. The nice server promptly took the orders: As we were a group of six, we ordered several dishes so we could try a little bit of everything and of course, the famous Wiener Schnitzel with mixed salad by which every restaurant in Austria is measured. Generally speaking, if that dish fails , usually it is a bad sign. But here everything was fresh, flavorful and served generously. The " Wiener "  like they called it here was crispy on the outside with a wonderful breading and the veal was tender and tasty. I discovered the scrambled eggs with wild mushrooms and I could see myself eating it for breakfast too. The dumplings were huge but the flavor wasn't lost . The fish was well cooked . The deserts were as good as the main dishes and I can't recommend enough the palatshinken(crêpes) and the topfentorte( Austrian cheese cake). In summary, maybe one of the best gasthaus in Vienna (typical Viennese restaurant) serving authentic Austrian cuisine at a great price!

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!
