Reviews
I chose this place for my first meal in Vienna since it was close to the hotel and also given fairly high ratings. I reserved a table but it was pretty vacant for lunch, so looks like I didn't need to. Upon entering, I was warmly greeted by the server and was promptly seated. Wasn't very hungry so decided to settle with just the main, I did want to try the soup but it wasn't available to my dismay. Now - The Wiener Schnitzel! This Blew me away! The cutlet was thin and crisp and the accompanying fries, salad and jam with slices of lemon made it a fantastic experience. So many different flavour profiles in one dish all working marvellously! Wished I could try some dessert, but given the humungous portions I was stuffed towards the end and couldn't take another bite. This is the only place that didn't charge extra for water or anything. Overall, one of the most satisfying experiences in Vienna.
Nice restaurant, we had Vienna schnitzel with fries and it was delicious. Portions are very very generous. Will come back definitely when in Vienna again. Service also very nice.
