The best goose liver I've ever had, with the best toast. Best butter. Best potatoes. Great meat and broth. Waiters were super nice and professional. Food was well worth it's price, even though it was expensive. But you can easily find similarly priced food with way worse quality.

We had the signature Tafelspitz with hash browns and chopped spinach on the side. The beef was very tender and delicious, but the broth was way too salty to my own taste. While the ambience and the service of the restaurant are nice, the price only reflects on the whole experience rather than the food itself imho.

Food is overpriced & poor service. Ordered the Wiener schnitzel which taste normal & tafelspitz was too salty. Service was poor because a few waiters that passed by have ignored us as we raised our hands to order something.

Made a reservation and still had to wait for an hour or so to get seated, unfortunately. Got a free drink as compensation, but they expected a tip.. The food was very good, but a little bit salty.

The beef soup was just amazing - love the flavor and how soft the meat is; also love how they thought you the traditional way to enjoy the dish! Waiters are also very friendly and helpful. Very educational while the meal is absolutely yummy.

I’m glad to try the food here during our stays in Austria. The portion wasn’t big and suitable for visitors to taste the Austria traditional food. Another great thing was that it opened late so we could set it as our last destination after the long sightseeing day.

The service was terrible we went to eat and it took them more 2 hours and 30 minutes just to bring our main dishes they brought us soup at first witch was very good the main dishes needed more flavor the schnitzel was really good tho I can’t say anything bad about it the salmon was terrible it had no flavor no seasoning you could barely taste the fish the only thing that I tasted was the tomato sauce on the salmon the staff were so unatentive they really didn’t care when we ordered drinks o got a mock tail it took them over 40 minutes to bring it and three reminders I asked for a glass and they forgot the staff either need a raise or an attitude switch very bad service and they didn’t do anything we basically became staff they didn’t Evan try to clean up the servers asked us to give them things but not like once or twice he stood there expecting us to do it !! TERRIBLE SERVICE !!

Managed to make a reservation at 6PM. The place was nice. We ordered the combination boiled beef and wiener schnitzel. The soup was salty, but the meat was tender. They served the wrong order at the beginning but they helped us to changed with a new pot. The schnitzel was big. The apple horseradish sauce and the bread were the highlight. Overall a nice experience.

Wonderful dinner at Plachutta! Have already recommended it to friends and look forward to another visit. The Schulterscherzl was delicious!!! The beef so tender and the sauces made it even better; and the broth and bone marrow were incredibly flavorful. Highly recommend!

A Viennese institution Famous for its boiled beef Choose your cut of meat and they will serve it to you in a pot on the table Other selections also available Service was good (but not great - busy, and could have been a little friendlier) We made a reservation and then had to wait beyond that time also. You will enjoy your time - worth a visit

I really like the Viennese cuisine experience, they very present very well, it’s easy for first time visitors like me. The place and service were both nice and I liked the Tafelspitz very much. Spread marrow onto a slice of toasted black bread and season with salt and pepper, really tasty!!!

A must-visit if in Vienna. Amazing traditional Restaurant with a great ambience in the centre of old Vienna, super vibrant covered terrace and great attention by staff Even if I did ask the Wiener Schnitzel and not the World famous Tafelspitz, I enjoyed an amazing dinner, finished with a delicious dessert, the Kaiserschmarrn with Red fruit sauce.... Absolutely stunning! Try it!

Delicious traditional food with very friendly service. Probably need to make a reservation for dinner, it was quite busy. The beef soup felt like it fed my soul and the schnitzel was the best we had by far. The sides were also excellent

Great Viennese cuisine. Their outdoor patio was packed and their atmosphere was very classy. We were just looking for a casual spot for dinner, so this was a little too high-end for the moment, but the food and experience was amazing. I do recommend this restaurant for a fancy dinner out!

First thing I want to highlight is that the service here is impeccable. From the moment I entered, the service was warm and friendly. The bread served was warm and toasty, and goes perfect with the butter. I ordered the signature boiled beef soup, along with the side of vegetables. To me, the soup itself was decent, but didn’t taste particularly special. It tasted just like a salty broth, and felt like some herbs or flavouring would have added more to it. The beef and bone marrow was good, and I particularly enjoyed spreading the bone marrow with the bread. It went well with the sauce. The roasted potato side was really good and crispy, so so order it. Overall, I would suggest to come and try the soup. It is worth a visit.

Very delicious food. We took the Schnitzel and the Gans, which were both very good. You definitely need a reservation and be aware if the additional 4 Euro some some for the cutlery be layed down? Didn't get the concept regarding this part as we also of course tipped the service, which was very nice.

Recommend to make reservation. We were lucky and got a table around 6pm. Don't risk it, particularly if you are short on time. This is a must in Vienna. Ambiance is a mix of local families and tourists, but this is not the typical touristy place. Service was fast, not too friendly but expedient. Place is crowded, and they gave us a table w/o reservation so will give them a pass on that. On to food. You will be tempted to go for Schnitzel and I will not judge. It is really good: tender, crispy, buttery. Go with potato salad or cucumber salad so you have something fresh in your palate to balance the Schnitzel. Now, locals share Tafelspitz and you should too. Do a bit of research and pick the meat that best suits you. Procedure : start with the soup, they will bring a big bowl to share and individual bowls for each person. They should serve you the first scoops. I had 'pancakes' (thin slices of thin bread) as a bed for the soup. Delicious! Then, go for the bone marrow. Yes, just do it please. I have eaten it since i was a kid. They do a good job here. Take the bone marrow out of the bowl and spread it on your bread. It is a perfect companion to the soup. The meat was a bit underwhelming, i tried the mint sauce and made it more interesting, with more texture. We had to skip dessert, as this was plenty! Excellent dinner for a cold winter night. It will get you satisfied, nurtured and ready for a nice walk in one of the Economist's most livable cities in the world. Go on enjoy

We are visiting Vienna from Australia as tourists. My old Austrian university buddy recommended this restaurant and the famous Tafelspitz is this restaurant’s premier dish. My friend made a reservation by phone on our behalf. We decided to ring an hour before reservation to ensure booking was still valid. Unfortunately even though my nephew spoke in German to phone operator, apparently our booking did not exist. So I sent a message to my Austrian buddy, told him the situation & he called in German to confirm. Apparently they did not understand my nephews German which is understandable as it’s his “third” language. Due to the initial bad interaction with losing our booking, we were worried that it might be a terrible experience (also due to other bad reviews)… BUT……. Wow!!!!!!!! 🤩👌 - service: fast, professional, friendly, impeccable - atmosphere: fantastic - food: exquisite highly recommend (from a picky eater) Best dessert: kaiserschmarrn. To die for yum 🤤 Can’t fault this place. So happy we didn’t just end up eating Japanese near our hotel!!

Very successful restaurant 👌 A reservation in advance is required or, at least, is recommended. You will have 2 hours for your time, but it's enough. The austrian cuisine and the beef are worth to be tried especially there.

Easily the best meal we had in Vienna. We had the tafelspitz and the goulash - both phenomenal. The restaurant appears very formal, but we weren’t the only diners in casual clothing. Good idea to book in advance if possible!

Strongly recommend the Tafelspitz with spinach, potatoes Rosti and pancakes. The meat is extremely tender and pairs well with the provided sauces. The restaurant is elegant, cozy and the service is great.

Had lunch at the famous Plachutta last week. My wife had the legendary Tafelspitz and I had Wiener Schnitzel. My WS was fantastic 👍 although the cold potato slices in vinegar I hardly touched. They never asked if I’d Like Bratkartoffeln with my Schnitzel . I personally think the Tafelspitz is totally overrated and over priced. €38 for two pieces of slow cooked beef in a broth. Spinach from the freezer! Please ? 😳 the Kaiserschmarrn was ok. but what really is a scandal. Was the charge of €4.80 per person for the Couvert. €9.60 for what ?? 🤔 3 pieces of mini bread rolls and the decking of the table !! Scandalous !! Pity. Great atmosphere though and super friendly staff. I suppose you have to go to say you’ve eaten there. In 2014 my wife and I ate in the No1 restaurant in the world at the time. El Celler de Can Rocca, in Girona. I think I know what I’m talking about when it comes to eating out in nice restaurants.

Food is amazing. Meat tastes really good. But it is crowded and the tables are so close to eachother. Waiters have to serve all the time, you feel they are annoyed and tired. They want to be fast and sometimes with all the work they can't be very well organized. That obviously caught our attention. Also the noise of all the customers... so I rated the atmosphere and service a bit lower. It is worth the food though. I will go again.

Very nice restaurant and good food. 4/5 because of the price you pay (47,30 2pers for the signature menu + 9,60for potatoes + 9€for the sauces) you get a very expensive soup with very little meat and vegetables in it for 2 person… desserts were good but we felt that they were overpriced as well but the worst thing was the bottle of water for 8,70€.. water more expensive than my beer and the cocktail that my girlfriend took.. that’s just hilarious. We felt that 111€ was too much for this, we are used to high prices because we live in Paris. Good place but be prepared that they charge everything separately and its quite expensive, but the food quality is very good.

very solid austrian place. signature dish Tafelspitz (beef slow cooked ok broth). expect it to be busy. but the very professional crew is acting efficiently and kind.

Oh, this was so good! 😌 Where to start? The first thing you should know is that this is a very popular restaurant. When we arrived there were queues coming out of the building and note it was very cold, so you know people really wanted the food here. We had a reservation so after skipping the queue an being seated it was just a matter of deciding what to eat. I went for the schnitzel of course and my partner had a dumpling with potatoes. I wanted to know what all the fuss was about but now I understand what I've been missing out on. If you like tasty meat dishes this schnitzel is so delicious 😋. The other dishes were nice too. As for dessert we opted for the Kaiserschmarrn... Oh my! It was amazing! Light sweet and well balanced 👌😃 The staff were very friendly despite it being incredibly busy and the atmosphere was warm, modern and welcoming. It was a nice way to round off our day in Vienna. You must go!

First of all reserve your spot otherwise you will end up in a lone for more than an hour. Their potato salad is the best in the city. They add a sauce to it which tastes incredible. The place is well known for their schnitzel so don't forget that. Their service is perfect. Everything is thought of, well placed in order and ontime. Their food price is very reasonable in comparison to the service that you get.

We were not able to make a reservation because it was all booked for about a month ahead… we waited outside about an hour to get in… the food was amazing! We had their signature schnitzel and draft beer and fresh mixed salad and potato salad… everything was really good! If you have enough time to make a reservation ahead highly recommend this place!

Figlmüller Bäckerstraße is an absolute gem in Vienna's culinary scene. The star of the show? Undoubtedly, their enormous schnitzel. From the first bite, it's evident why this dish is legendary. The perfectly crispy exterior gives way to tender, flavorful meat inside. Accompanied by traditional sides, like potato salad, it's a symphony of taste and texture. Just to make it even more perfect a glass of any white wine is highly recommended. For starters a soup was all we needed. A five-star experience through and. The ambiance adds to the experience, with its cozy yet elegant setting. Impeccable service ensures every visit is memorable. through, Figlmüller Bäckerstraße is a must-visit for any food enthusiast.

Very nice restaurant and location. It was all typical dishes and they are all super good and great quality! I’d definitely recommend the veal Schnitzel. The potato salad is SO good!!! Really like the Austrian style for it. We also tried the typical soup with the bread dumpling which was very nice on a cold evening. Elemental pan-fried was good too, if you like that cheese, the taste is def not intense or surprising but still good. The rose wine was AMAZING, if you like wine, get it, it’s quite fruity and fresh! And don’t forget about the typical desert and to leave tips. Overall, it was great and exactly what I expect and wanted when I first book it but it won’t be spectacular food either. Also, book a table, very easy and you avoid the long queue outside! Nice service.

The best veal Schnitzel I have ever had. The restaurant is very good and the atmosphere is very nice inside the restaurant. True, you have to wait a little bit to get a table but at the end you will get a table and it’s worth waiting for. The staff was very friendly and we had a great dinner there with the veal schnitzel and the vegetarian dish and the potato salad. Very delicious. It is a little bit expensive but it’s worth it.

We ordered the classic schnitzel and the goulash dish. Both were delicious and definitely enough for 2 hungry guys. The restaurant is very nice and the atmosphere is great. Although the experience was great overall- our waiter gave us the worst experience, it felt like he’s doing us a favor talking to us and bringing the check - definitely not a pleasant experience. Would definitely recommend - I’m assuming not all of the stuff in the restaurant are like this.

We reserved a spot two weeks before, and we were lucky because there was a big line. The restaurant itself is like a maze, a lot of different rooms. The people around were young groups and families, a really friendly atmosphere. We ordered a beef schnitzel with tomato salad and potato salad. The schnitzel really is amazing, they give you knifes that aren't sharp at all since you just don't need it. The dish cuts easily, with great taste. I also cannot ignore the salads - both have amazing taste, really great! Overall experience was really good, with fair prices. Recommended for all!

Nice, traditional restaurant for a genuine Wiener schnitzel. Not much than that though. A big, efficient tourist spot. Spot, not a trap. Most likely you’ll need to join a fairly long q to get inside. Quite fair value for money especially taking location under consideration.

So yummy! We ordered the Wiener schnitzel and the vegetable lentils with brioche dumplings. The Wiener schnitzel was thin and savoury and tasted very delicious with lemon, but what really stole the show was the vegetable lentils. Wow it was savoury, warm, comforting and so delicious. It was delicious! An unassuming dish but in my opinion a must order. The restaurant is very crowded so I highly Recommend making a reservation!

Veal and pork schnitzel at one of the original schnitzel restaurants in Vienna. Pork was so large, it was overflow from the plate. Rye sourdough was good, and came in a paper sac, but four small slices was not enough for the suggested caramelized onion butter. Dressing for both the potato salad, served with micro greens, and frisée were a little on the sweeter side, though delicious. Overall a great restaurant in the heart of the old city.

Despite the fact that this is a very crowded, touristic restaurant we enjoyed the schnitzel twice. The food was really good. The only thing we didn't like was that our waiter on the First night already gave himself a 10% tip. The waiter on our second night wasn't so pushy and asked the correct amount.

Most famous restaurant in the world. It was a long queue on Saturday, luckily they have a table for 2 so waited maybe 30 mins. The schnitzel is so good and big. Boiled beef is also full of flavour and surprised me. The browned potato is so nice and i almost love the boiled beef more than schnitzel.

Incredible Wiener schnitzel! Best I have ever had! I ordered the veal schnitzel. It was deliciously crispy outside and perfectly cooked inside. Also, my server was wonderful and attentive. Interior is super cozy. Perfect for a wonderful dinner. Pro tip, please make reservation in advance.

I tried the original Wiener schnitzel with fries but also I grabbed a bite from the potato salad as well, I really love how soft the schnitzel was however I can't tell the same thing for it's taste. You can find the same quality stuff at other places as well. I congratulate them due to their well pr but all the hype didn't meet with my expectations.

Huge schnitzel, that’s what you expect… it was otherwise a bit on the simple side. For sure good, if you are a meat lover. Nothing for you, when you are more on a balanced diet with vegetables. The potato salad was delicious! The vegetarian schnitzel option is a 3/5.

waiting for entry is a leisurely hour. there were four of us. We ordered schnitzels, potato and tomato salad and soups. soup - nothing special, very average, not worth the price. amazing schnitzel - perfectly patted and fried. there are no downsides. the potato salad was outstanding, the tomato salad was very good. Unfortunately, the service leaves much to be desired. after us, 5 people came in and were served by another waiter, they got their food 25 minutes before us(?!). They had already finished eating and we were still waiting. the waiter who served us was averagely polite, which cannot be said about the rest of the staff we observed. prices high. I don't know if we will come back.

We have been continuously visiting this restaurant since 14 years ago. The Wiener Schnitzel’s food quality has been changed. Probably there has many customers and they don’t hit the meat too flat to make it more thin and crispy . The potatoes salad is a must order dish which they are best potatoes salad in the whole vienna . The Bärlauch Creme soup is the seasonal soup starting from March till Mid April . The soup tastes good but a bit salty which the saltiness suits the local people‘s taste buds. We placed two photos of Wiener schnitzel (2014 and 2024 ) which shows the size and crispness have changed.

Wonderful waiters, incredible schnitzels, unforgettable potato salad and surprisingly good recommendation of plum pancake desserts which the whole table enjoyed. Very busy so book ahead. Service is good but not swift.

ordered one veal and one chicken. both were excellent but found the veal to be the juicier and softer of the two. expect big portions- chicken schnitzel is larger than the plate and the veal comes as two pieces. would also recommend the potato salad and tomato salad as they were both refreshing sides to the meal.

It is possible to make a reservation via the restaurant’s website and I was able to skip the queue - not so nice to be waiting outside when it is raining as there is no shelter. I was assigned a table and the order was taken very quickly. The portion is too big, if they would offer a half portion, I would give it one more star. This is probably the 2nd best schnitzel I’ve ever had, the batter tastes like egg yolk, the cutlet is thin and tender. The best thing is the potato salad, sweet, tangy, with some onions.

I recently dined at Figlmüller Bäckerstraße, and it was an experience that exceeded my expectations. The highlight of my visit was definitely the schnitzel. I tried both the cheese and turkey ham schnitzel and the classic beef schnitzel. The cheese and turkey ham schnitzel was a delightful surprise, offering a delicious twist on the traditional dish. It was juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The beef schnitzel was equally impressive, especially when enhanced with a squeeze of lemon. The tanginess of the lemon brought out the rich flavors of the meat, creating a perfect balance. I was expecting butter on top of the schnitzels, but it turned out there was none. However, this did not detract from the taste, which was still exceptional. One thing to note is that we had to wait almost an hour to be seated. While initially a bit frustrating, the wait turned out to be absolutely worth it. The ambience of the restaurant, combined with the quality of the food, made for a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend Figlmüller Bäckerstraße to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious schnitzel in Vienna.

The check-in experience was the worse part. We have a reservation but showed up early. The guy checking us in made one too many facial expressions and said one too many times "sir you're more than an hour early"... Trust me I know. I told him I could wait. He didn't seem to care. They were accommodating walk-ins at the time. We had a 6:30 pm reservation but walked in a little past 5. Fortunately one of the waiters in the back told us to follow him and sat us. Food took a long time to come out though. We didn't get our food until well past our original reservation of 6:30 pm. I've been here many years ago and everything was as I had remembered it. Delicious.

If you don't want to wait in line, I recommend you make a reservation in advance. There are two places close to each other. We ordered beef schnitzel and potato salad, it tasted very good, but potato salad is our favorite, we ordered it again. The design and environment of the restaurant is also very pleasant. Prices may seem high, but I ignore this in traditional restaurants.

The schnitzel wasn’t the best one in Vienna, I had better one. The Fries was good. Without reservation you should stand in a line for at least 30 minutes. The prices were a lot, in my mind you can find better options in Vienna;)

Definitely one of the best dining experiences of my life. Service was highly attentive and not overbearing. The char with bees wax is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Would go back just for that. Thank you Steirereck 🙏 *edit - post from July 2019

Having such high expectations based of the long standing accolades and awards for this establishment I am disappointed and frustrated to have to write such a negative review. I have been to many Michelin restaurants and I have never left so underwhelmed. This would be my least favorite Michelin restaurant and chef’s menu, to date. 1) The total dining experience was over 4 hours. While I am in no rush, I found no desire to stay as long as we were there. Had there been dishes or an experience that peaked my interest I’d be happy to stay this long. We did not have the first course till after an hour and fifteen. The courses were spaced anywhere from 20-40 minutes apart after last bite of previous course. We were utterly bored. 1A) While service wasn’t bad, the attentiveness was not there. At Michelin caliber restaurants I expect the table to be immaculate and cleaned after each meal, this never occurred. This is picky, but it’s what to be expected at this level of restaurant. 2) The food was flat, nothing stood out to me and while it had many ingredients that I was excited to try together I did not find any complexity to the dishes. There have been Michelin restaurants where I remember specific dishes, there was unfortunately not one tonight. I found the plating and presentation of the food repetitive, it was the same presentation for each dish, the server would spoon out of a measuring cup for each dish (this is picky, but part of these dining experiences is the art of presentation and it felt lazy) 3) The wine pairings, while not bad, were very similar. I expect exciting different elements to compliment the dishes, did not feel it was adequate. I am sorry to have to write this review and I am hopeful that this was an off night or week (although a restaurant of this caliber and rating should not have this).

They definitely have earned their two Michelin Stars. The most beautiful building right in the park. We had an amazing Anniversary dinner that we will never forget.

When returning to a much loved fine dining restaurant after several years, there’s always that nagging concern that it won’t be quite as wonderful as you remembered. On this occasion my worries were unfounded as this was perhaps even greater an experience than I had hoped for. I’d forgotten to mention in advance my wife’s new and quite extensive list of food intolerances and the staff dealt with this without batting an eyelid. The 5-course lunch menu was amazing, we were visited by the famous Steirereck trolleys (bread and cheese), which produce a Pavlovian response from my salivary glands and the wine pairing was excellent too. This restaurant has been top 25 in the world for several years now and it thoroughly deserves that recognition.

One-in-a-lifetime, amazing experience! Food presentation was thoughtful and beautiful, artistic--filled with vibrant color and texture. Flavors were presented in ways that brought out the freshness and best in each ingredient. Each course came with a card explaining the dish and some background information and introduced ingredients I loved learning about. The restaurant was cleverly designed so that each table felt private. The service was flawless. Each phase of dining and the various preferences of our party's four diners were seamless. The wait staff was observant and predictive but also pleasantly conversational. They flowed easily from English to German-speaking as they interacted with each member of our international party. They were always present when something needed to be done but never looming. One member of our party briefly excused himself just before a course arrived. The waitstaff very subtly slid a warmer under his dish and then removed it upon his return. One member of our party preferred not to order alcohol. Over the course of the dinner, the wait staff observed this (without it ever being directly discussed) and brought a unique alcohol-free dessert. From the bread trolley to the cheese trolley to the end-of-dinner Schnapps cart, I will cherish this Viennese dining experience forever.

2 star restaurant on the Michelin guide. We went for lunch and it was fantastic. The service was very good and I loved that the bread was fresh on a moving cart and so were the drinks and cheese. A classy getaway if you’re looking for a rather pricey dinner or lunch out. However, the price is matched by its elegance, service, food and atmosphere.

Had one of the best dining experiences of my life at Steirereck today that I felt compelled to leave a review. I did the 4 course lunch tasting. From the moment I sat down, the hospitality was palpable. Every dish I ordered was superb and the perfect amount of food for me to enjoy every single course until dessert. The Roebuck (main course) was a highlight, with the Young Celeriac (starter) a close second.

The second time was quite a wonderful experience! My husband reunited with "bread cart Andy" and the kitchen turned out marvel after marvel of creative, stunning, masterpieces of flavor and flair.

No ideal why the photo 2 and 3 can be called such as iconic or signature dish. 6 course menu for lunch is 205 euro and I ordered one white truffle pasta and two glass champagne. The total is 319+24 euro

We had a good time at the restaurant. The food was really good as expected. You must try the sausage bread! The members of staff were highly trained and clinically efficient. The only time our female server smiled was when we were getting into the taxi they had ordered for us. I really liked that you got little table cards with every meal describing what you are eating. That was really appreciated!

Beautiful experience, pleasant ambience. Dishes were distinctive, and refined but carried an unpretentious presentation and familiar palate. Thoroughly entertaining bread and cheese cart with an overwhelming selection. April 2022

I had high expectations for this 2 star Michelin restaurant but it was disappointing. The outside and location inside the park probably contributed to the extra star. It is nice inside but the table we had was awkward with and view of the serving carts and had a hanging bulb since the overhead light was broken. Shocked to see the service done with rolling carts. The wine server was rushing from table to table placing down bottles,quickly rambling the type of wine and taste pairings then running off. He would come back and pick up the bottles two minutes later. Service was not close to two star quality. The 6 courses were good but nothing impressive or unique. This is a one star restaurant in a two star location.

I came to Austria to experience the 13th restaurant in the world. I booked eight people for lunch. When I arrived, I was told that I couldn’t order a lunch set, so the whole lunch didn’t end until 3:30 pm. The overall creativity of dishes and sauces is satisfactory.

Mediocre at best. I was really looking forward to this meal, since I had heard great things of this beautiful 2-star establishment, however the evening was everything but a Michelin starred experience. Plenty of mistakes troughout the evning, from start to finish. No one to take our coats, waiters unfriendly and cold, explanation of dishes were told without passion or interest, food was good, but nothing that really knocked me out of my socks (something that you COULD expect when paying €200+ in a 2-star), and a surcharge of 150 euros on the bill (which they corrected but only because we noticed); overall the whole experience lacked a lot of finesse. Its a pitty because the restaurant is so beautiful and leaves a lot to wish for. On a positive note, the wine pairing was very interesting and worked very well with the dishes.

I would like to share some of our experience rather than trying to describe to food in detail. Three things come to mind: 1. Steirereck is only going upwards. It has wonderful ambience, excellent food, perfect staff - in fact, from the moment you enter, you feel spoilt and the feeling is luxurious. It feels much more like three stars than two. 2. The food is exceptional without being pretentious. The wine pairing is on point. 3.Behold the bread trolley!! Michelin acknowledges the bread trolly and it is one of the highlights of the evening. The gentleman serving the bread is entertaining and knowledgeable while the trolley is loaded with different kinds of bread. Easy to indulge here as the bread is delicious, the choice is wide and he keeps coming around!!! It is a real treat. However, the cheese trolley is not be outdone. It is of similar high standard and is stocked with different cheeses from side tot side and top to bottom - and is again followed shortly by the bread trolley just wanting to make sure that you are fine. In my view Steirereck is well worth making a special trip for. It was one of our highlights of the year. Grab a table if you can. It is highly recommendable.

This is the best 2 stars restaurant I have tried so far. Services was wonderful, but food was completely exceptional. Bread was great too. We loved the blood bread so much even if it was our first try. Nothing to complain here. Only complements.

The 7-Course menu was a wonderful experience. The cheese, bread, and wine sommeliers were outstanding and exceptionally knowledgeable about their fields. It is truly one of the best dinners I have ever had the honor of experiencing.

A noteworthy experience. The waiters were timely and cuisine was excellent. I have pleasant memories to return to Texas with! Will be my first stop upon my return

The food is amazing and the service is also great! The seafood's freshness was expected, but what was surprising was the delicate preparation of the vegetables, which fully brought out their sweetness. Tried venison for the first time, and it was delicious.

An exceptional and sophisticated gastronomic experience that maintains its top quality! After my first visit to the restaurant in 2018, I was curious to see how I would experience the same restaurant after more than 5 years. The result was still outstanding! The focus on local ingredients, excellent and detailed introduction and both written and oral explanation of each dish (which makes this restaurant special), unobtrusive and excessively courteous service. A lavish selection of over 40 locally produced types of bread along with an even larger selection of cheeses from across Europe make this gastronomic rhapsody even more effective! A big bravo for the tasting experience!

Without a doubt it’s a good restaurant but not a five star one. We picked 5 course selection. The bread trolley was a delicacy in itself. The restaurant is quite reasonable in terms of the artistry, variety of ingredients, presentation and service. However the food was not what I expected with a 2 star rating from Michelin.

We had the 6 course menu. The food was okay and thought through in terms of ingredients mostly, but nothing amazed me. I would expect a 2-Michelin star place that I pay EUR300 pp to make me thinking “incredible, how did they do this?”. This place was decent but nothing very exciting in my view. The service was slow. We were 6 in total, and we hadn’t even got the amuse bouche 1 hour and 10 minutes after we all sat down. The breaks between courses were also a bit long. Cheese and bread trolleys were very nice but again it takes time until they come to serve your table. In terms of ambience, it was a bit stiff but the decoration and lighting was nice. Overall my expectations were high because of how this restaurant has been placed and given the money we paid but the food and service could have been for sure more impressive. Perhaps getting a la carte may be a better choice.

Perfect service Perfect food Perfect atmosphere Good value for money Everything was perfect from the moment we entered untill the moment we left. The food was prepared to perfection. The bread cart was and exquisite idea with selection of many different breads. The service was perfect the table comfortable and the atmosphere calm and elegant. 2 star Michelin totlay deserved the dinner was an amazing experience

We came without reservation; a fast moving line which was our luck! This is located next to the butterfly house. The ambience was inviting, like a greenhouse, so sunny and warm on a cold winter day. The menu is different from other cafes here, so we wanted to try their best dishes. We ordered the lamb sausage 4/5: good but not so special. Love the sides with it. Mushroom truffle risotto 2/5: the expectation was high and the dish was a bit of disappointment. The rice had a bite (undercooked) and the flavors were almost bland. Dry aged burger 5/5: one of the best burgers we tried ever, the meat was cooked medium to perfection, melt in your mouth like butter. So juicy and flavorful; Totally recommend it. For drinks house wine and wine spritzer 5/5: the wine taste was really delicate and enjoyable. Overall, i would like to visit again to try other dishes and enjoy the place more. I would recommend the burger and wines as well.

I had a wonderful dining experience at a charming restaurant in a picturesque setting. We opted for the daily special, and the flavors were absolutely delightful. I highly recommend trying the dishes we ordered – they were simply mouthwatering! I’m eagerly anticipating my return to explore more delectable options on the menu.

Lovely ambience, and they reserve the best spots for reservations. Great spot to people watch as they’re are always people in the park. I recommend going later in the afternoon when the sun in behind the buildings as they remove the umbrellas and you get to truly enjoy it. Their truffle butter is incredible and the dishes are well portioned. I had the veal ravioli and it was gorgeous and delicious.

Great place, can get very busy at times so depending on the time of the day, you can expect a queue to form out front. Food is great! It's located inside an old greenhouse.

Very unique location Great spot for drinks / brunch vibes. We went for lunch and we weren’t blown away with the menu selection. Very extensive drink and desert selection

Beautiful location, with high palms and trees, much light enjoyable thanks to the wonderful structure of the building. For the outdoor tables you don't need a reservation, you can sit down where is free and enjoy the stunning relaxing view of the park of the Hofburg. Of course, not a cheap location, but it's totally understandable.

Loved it! I was there on a sunny Saturday. We made a reservation ahead because we knew the place would be packed. Breakfast was great. I had a hot chocolate and a salmon breakfast. The salmon breakfast was absolutely amazing, very very highly recommend. And of course, the place looked stunning!

It's a hidden gem. This location was not easy to discover, but it was well worth the effort. The environment is similar to that of a greenhouse, and in addition, they have really comfortable sitting available outside. Both the food and the service were of the highest quality.

We had two good visits to Palmenhaus during our recent stay in Vienna. Breakfast within the glashaus was charming and very good. Our midweek visit for afternoon drinks on the terrace was also rewarding. Such a charming venue in the back of Burggarten.

Absolutely fantastic dining experience, made even better by Adip our lovely waiter. He gave us great recommendations for the food, wine and desserts. He was super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is excellent, the setting is magical. Highly recommend.

One of my favorite spots in Vienna. Food is super fresh and always loaded with veggies. We had the artichoke soup, eggplant parmigiana, and the duck breast. All of them were absolutely delicious, although I would go noch down with the cumin in the eggplant. Atmosphere is always nice given that the place has so much light and plants in it. Service super attentive and polite.

This is the best place I have ever visited, the food was amazing, especially the sacher and chicken soup. The coffee here is excellent, I highly recommend visiting. I was especially impressed by the kindness and helpfulness of the staff.

Very nice place to sit, have a drink and do some reading or computer admin, as you have plugs to use for electricity. Food is very expensive though. Too expensive in my opinion. Did i tell how nice the place is though? Sitting in a giant greenhouse with palm trees and tropical plants... Nice. 🌴 Toilet is not wheelchair accessible though.

Loved this place ! Amazing view outside and great food. The coffee was just fine but the Apple Tart was gorgeous and extremely tasty. The prices are not the cheapest in Vienna but it was worth it. Inside is as gorgeous as outside ! Pictures attached

A charming cafe situated within the Palm House, providing a unique experience. The food was tasty but not exceptional, and the coffee was decent. In my opinion, it's worth a visit for the unique atmosphere, but the food doesn't particularly stand out.

Not speaking the language I was a little nervous about my first meal in Vienna. Upon arrival I was asked what language I wanted to converse in and they promptly got me the right server for the job. The atmosphere was fantastic, busy but didn't feel overcrowded. I had breakfast with dessert (of course) and a latte. Definitely recommend!

Prominently located in Burghof, this historic restaurant is heavily visited and one should either make a reservation well in advance or be prepared to wait in a queue which could get quite chaotic. The food is amazing and the staff do their best, but the crowdedness of the interior was a little off-putting to us.

Came once back in 2017 during the summer and had to come back because the setting is just so cool! It's still as great as I remember. Very rare that you go somewhere that looks touristy but also has great food. Staff are very friendly and there's plenty of seating so you don't have to wait long for a seat. Hot chocolate here is better than cafe mozart.

Definitely WAY WAY overpriced, food was OK but I definitely could have gotten better schnitzel for a third of the price anywhere else. It kind of tasted like the made it a while ago and it wasn’t like fresh out of the fryer or anything, and the breading was separating from the meat. Potatoes were bland, according to my friend but tasted fine to me but nothing special. The cranberry sauce was fantastic though, not too sweet. The cake was delicious too, not too sweet at all. And it’s a nice ambience & service was friendly. There was about a 20-30 min line when I arrived as it’s super popular with tourists. I definitely wouldn’t come here again because I think I can get better value at any other local restaurant but if you have the money to spend & time to kill then why not. Expect to spend a minimum of $50 per person…

Greenhouse vibe with a butterfly house next to it. The place itself worths to pay a visit! Specially if you can sit next to the glass to get the butterflies view. We had a look to the menu and found it a little bit overpriced but of course, you’re paying for the place. Still, be aware that we didn’t order food but just a strudel and a coffee. I highly recommend it for the strudel: it looked and tasted way better than others we tried. The coffee was highly overpriced tho. Same price for the strudel and the coffee…

Really beautiful place for breakfast! Staff is really nice and the atmosphere inside is amazing, especially when your table is located by the window. Remember to make a reservation because at around 10am there is a loong queue outside! One drawback- “Vegen” breakfast contains actually just a few chopped vegetables, in my opinion a little bit overpriced, but my “Large” breakfast was lovely. I would recommend☺️☺️

Big and busy but well organized Beer garden with traditional specialties Austrian dishes such as delicious crispy roasted pork knuckle with sauerkraut and pancakes for dessert. Grilled chicken was not their specialties so it wasn’t good enough comparing to pork knuckle. Another highlight is beer with wide range of craft beers. I drank dark beer and it was cold and tasty. Btw they have private areas for big groups

Our first time and will be back, service was excellent. Food delicious and you can order by kilograms. Bier was in draft 500ml, atmosphere amazing and good weather. Well done

Traditional and tasty food, very fast service. I recommend the "Hintere schweinsstelze" which is more than 1 kg of pork shank, freshly grilled and crispy on the outside. Also get a glass of tap beer and enjoy!

Our second time here after 4 years. The pork shank was huge, it's definitely for two persons... Not to mention it was delicious, the meat was cooked to perfection, very tender. The beer 🍻 was great, as you would expect from an Austrian beer garden. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, food and beers came quick, despite these place being packed. We had a great dinner here, will be back when in Vienna again.

This is an institution. A big beer garden that has kept the same menu and quality for years. Cold tap beer. Typical food, liked the crispy pork shank. Fast service. Located in the prayer park. Seating outside in the garden. They can partially cover it.

I visited Vienna's famous ferris wheel on my first night visiting and found this restaurant walking around Prater after. Our server was friendly and recommended a local beer from Vienna (pictured). It was amazing. I ordered pork on a skewer, which came with bacon. Wow! Very tender and delicious. My friend ordered the traditional weiner schnitzel and it was superb (I tried it). The place is very large but has a good ambiance. They also brought me a menu in English when I asked for it. Great place!

Beer, beer and more beer...did I mention beer and...food. Fantastic food. Schnitzel and Grilled giant pork knuckle or Hintere Schweinsstelze frisch vom Grill. Topping it off with Chocolate cake with whipped cream and Powidltascherln. Amazing. Highly recommend...

The only place you'll get fresher tasting beer is the brewery itself. Since beer is constantly served and the taps are never turned off, the beer is very satisfying. Most plates during busy hours are already made, ready to go as it's delivered about 5 minutes after ordering, but is really good and not overly salty like you'll find in a lot places.

The food here is really good and served quickly. Ordering takes a while, and you need to order your drinks with one person and your food with someone else. Strange, but it is the way it is. The atmosphere is very loud and festive, which is probably because the restaurant is in a theme park. I would definitely recommend a visit though as the whole experience is generally very good.

a sizable, traditional Austrian restaurant in the Prater, at a great location. The restaurant's specialty, pork knuckle, is wonderful. It's worth sharing between two or three people, in my opinion, as it's too much for one person. The beer they have on tap there is most likely the best I've drank in Vienna thus far. I can only suggest this eatery!

A bit over priced but that's to be expected I think in the middle of prater. Traditional Austrian food which is very nice, we had fried cheese with potato rosti. Rosti was so garlic it made the eyes water. Schnitzel was apparently really good served with potato salad. It was very busy but service was reasonably fast.

The place of the giant beer head. This is a great biergarten is the middle of what seems like a amusement park. Was a bit confusing walking through the park looking for the place but place was good. Schnitzel was on point. Beer was a bit weak so slightly disappointed. Cash only which is why I'm docking another star

Went for my birthday dinner. Not disappointed at all. Definitely recommend that you visit (my second). Huge portion of food. Fast and friendly service. My pork was tender and tasty... shown half devoured before I remembered to take a pic.

HUGE infamous pork knuckle of 1kg. Crispy and a lot of meat!!! I recommend sharing one with 2-3 people. Very touristy but worth it. Drinks and food are ordered by different waiters. Difficult to get ahold of them, but once you order, everything arrives very quickly.

Great location in the park! the atmosphere was very good. there were more than a hundred people at the same time, but you didn't have to wait for the drink or the food! the food was very delicious! I recommend to everyone!

I recently dined at Schweizerhaus Restaurant while visiting Vienna. It’s a charming Austrian restaurant and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The portion sizes they serve is good for two or three people. You certainly won't leave this place hungry. The pork knuckle was so tender and juicy. It's such a substantial dish that I would highly recommend sharing it between two or three people; it's honestly more than one person can handle, but it's definitely worth indulging in with friends or family. The beer really complemented the hearty Austrian cuisine. Schweizerhaus Restaurant is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking authentic Austrian food in Vienna. I give it 5 stars.

Food looked good, but unfortunately we were never served. Waiters decided they were going to ignore us for no reason whatsoever, even though not all the tables were full. I definitely did not feel welcome nor will we return here.

Too busy for its own good. The food was average, but not anything spectacular. There are better places in Prater to get similar fare with better service and better atmosphere. We had a reservation made 3 months in advance and were seated in the furthest back corner of an upstairs room when there was space in the garden.

Best Pork Knuckles in Vienna! The portion size is huge, we shared it amongst 4 people. This is also the perfect place for beer lovers. If you are looking for authentic austrian food, look no further than Schweizerhaus! As this place is often full of people, it’s best to make an online reservation in advanced. It is also right at the Prater park which could be done as a combined activity for the day.

I give 3 stars to the atmosphere. Although it was a nice green environment, the place were over crowd and there were cigarette smoke everywhere. If you can’t stand of smokes, you should not go to this restaurant. However, the food and service were good enough, so I could keep sitting there for a while.

Very nice place in the most lively part of the Prater. Being very crowded, it can take a while to get your orders. The menu is wide and with a good range of very typical courses, even if the taste is nothing special

This place is known for its super crispy and moist schweinshaxe. The portion is huge, and the beer is excellent. Lots of outdoor seating makes this a nice and relaxing place to sit back and enjoy the food.
