Schachtelwirt is where traditional Austrian comfort food meets modern convenience. Tucked away just behind Schwedenplatz, this small and much-loved eatery specialises in hearty dishes served in takeaway boxes — simple, satisfying, and full of flavour. The menu changes weekly, featuring classics like schnitzel, pork roast, dumplings, stews, soups, and homemade desserts like apple strudel or Kaiserschmarrn.
Despite its fast-food format, everything is cooked fresh to order using quality, locally sourced ingredients. The space itself is compact and cosy, with a handful of counter seats and an open kitchen. Service is friendly and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable for the city centre.
Schachtelwirt is a favourite among busy locals, students, and curious tourists — perfect for a quick lunch, casual dinner, or a warm meal to take away and enjoy in the park or at home.
