Meh

They only have one vegan option, a vegan schnitzel with a side salad, which is smaller than the non vegan dish (and a side dish of potato salad but that barely counts) and it’s not good. It’s dry and doesn’t have that much flavor honestly. To me 20€ for something like that is way to expensive, plus, they don’t have plant milk if you want to order a coffee. Safe to say I’m kinda disappointed

Okay, aber auch nicht mehr.

Ich finde es schön, dass es immer mehr vegane Optionen auch in solchen Restaurants gibt. Allerdings hat das Schnitzel nach nichts geschmeckt. Salat und Fries waren wiederum sehr gut. Aber für 20€ würde ich dieses Schnitzel nicht wieder essen. Leider enttäuschend, vielleicht wird ja daran noch gearbeitet.

Be sure to book

This is a good option for omni groups wanting to try a traditional Austrian schnitzel place. It’s super popular so be sure to book! The service and the surroundings are really good (we were a group of 15) and everyone enjoyed their food. I’m sure there are better vegan places in Vienna but this is a good for a not fully vegan group. Like most things in Vienna, it’s pricy, we spent £60 a head on a schnitzel, a side and 1-2 drinks each. The menu has vegan labelled options and lots of the sides are vegan. We enjoyed the mixed salad and potato salad with a vegan schnitzel.

Just good, not great.

I was very excited to have a vegan schnitzel option but it was just good, not great - two plain, uniform “cutlets.” It was disappointing because several other tables had ordered the pork schnitzel and it was a huge portion overflowing the plate. It old never happen but I would rather have had a cauliflower steak schnitzel. The parsley potatoes were delicious and the side salad good too. Just underwhelmed but vegan schnitzel option. Was in line about 20 minutes before opening- without a reservation, and got right in.

Not good at all!

You have to wait outside 25 mins and the veggie option was not good. 20€ for a dry and small Schnitzler...

It's okay

Not really vegan friendly. It is a meat house. Haha. They have some.options, but not my vegan taste.

Cons: Pricy

Good, but overpriced and overhyped

The schnitzel itself is good sized but, if you eat much, you will still be hungry. Having a vegan option with a non vegan chain like this one is important. It’s made of pea protein, a bit dry. Worth the experience, that’s all

Nice option for having a Vegan Schnitzel

Schnitzel was very good. The breading was fantastic. Got it with parsley potatoes and lingonberry jam. It definitely is overpriced, but an interesting experience nonetheless.
You should make a reservation beforehand.

Pros: Ambience & Atmosphere

Cons: Expensive , Non-vegan restaurant, Reservating is a must

Fancy restaurant, average vegan schnitzel

Waited half an hour before we could be seated. The restaurant looked quite fancy, as the prices confirmed as well. The vegan schnitzel was alright, definitely not the best one I’ve ever had but it was tasty enough.

Pros: Fancy restaurant

Cons: Waiting, Expensive

Vegan schnitzel

I was pleased to be able to have vegan schnitzel during our trip. It was nice enough and came with a simple side salad; some interesting wines to try too. We reserved a good few weeks in advance and upon arriving there was a long queue waiting to get in so definitely recommend reserving! Nothing to write home about but a nice spot if you’re wanting to have a traditional Austrian dish with non-vegan friends.

No vegan schnitzel on the menu - but good option

We came here for the vegan schnitzel but it wasn’t on the menu. However, they had a very nice cauliflower curry that I enjoyed a lot! Nice genuine flavor - think it would beat any vegan schnitzel
Good place to come to as my Omni travel companion had lots of options to pick from as well

Pros: Couple good vegan options , Outdoor seating , Friendly staff

Cons: No vegan schnitzel , Probably need to book a table

vegan schnitzel

I really did not want to leave the city without having tried a vegan version of the Schnitzel. This place was great. They mostly serve meat dishes, but have a vegan version of the schnitzel, which comes in two escalopes (contrary to the traditional one which comes as one big portion).

The Schnitzel came with a side green salad.

Food was great!l and staff is familiar with the term ‘vegan’.

We were only two, so it was easy to get a table without reservation. If going there as a big group, I’d recommend booking in advance!

Pros: Vegan schnitzel, friendly staff

Cons: expensive

Phenomenal vegan schnitzel

Fancy restaurant that claims to have invented the Wiener Shnitzel. The food was stunning, one of the best meals I've had. I recommend to try the traditional Austrian apricot beverage as well!

Pros: High end restaurant, Top quality food

Cons: Expensive , Unfriendly staff

Nice vegan schnitzel!

In case you are in town and either you want to try schnitzel or you need to accompany your friends! The potato’s with pumpkin oil were super nice as well. Friendly staff

Leckere Salate, das Schnitzel war ganz gut

Das vegane Schnitzel hat geschmeckt wie erwartet (größtenteils nach Panade), dafür gibt es hierzu ein Blattsalat dazu. Ich habe zudem den Kartoffelsalat gewählt der wirklich sehr sehr lecker war! 😊
Ich habe mir hierbei sagen lassen, das dieser auch rein vegan ist jedoch nicht so trennscharf behandelt wird wie das vegane Gericht.
Alles in allem war es sehr lecker! 🙃

Pros: Authentisches Restaurant (besteht seit 1905)

Standard

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, was ich von Figlmüllers Schnitzel erwartet hatte. Ich bekam gepresstes Erbsenprotein das in Panade paniert wurde und es schmeckte nach Panade. Genauso wie es bei einem Schnitzel aus Fleisch der Fall ist.

Daher kann ich nichts schlechtes über Figlmüllers Schnitzel sagen. Es schmeckt wie es schmecken soll.

Mein Fall ist es trotzdem nicht.

Vegan schnitzel tasted out of a packet

Didn't taste awful but definitely not worth it. Just tasted like typical vegan chicken/pig substitute. Came with some lettuce in a bowl. I also had the potato salad as a side which was great and seemingly vegan although I forgot to check if it contained honey.

Worst vegan Schnitzel I’ve ever had

To be fair, Figlmüller is probably the last place for vegans to begin with. Usually I avoid going to typical “meat-serving” places like these if I am not accompanied by “omnivores”. In this case however, I was excited to hear there was a vegan alternative offered, as I came here as a small child (when I still ate meat) and was looking forward to reliving the experience. Also, I think it is a good sign to show places like these that vegan alternatives are accepted and are high in demand.
When the Schnitzel came, it was very disappointing. Much smaller than the “real” Schnitzels and absolutely NO taste. Maybe the kitchen forgot to add spice, but for 16€ just for the Schnitzel and a small salad, no sauces, it just wasn’t enough. I’m always happy to see restaurants offering vegan options, but in this case it would be better not to offer anything rather than this. Seriously, it’s the worst vegan alternative I have ever had. I prefer my 2€ Schnitzels from Aldi. Even omnivores should be able to tell that it does not taste good.

Anyways, when we complained the waiter was very friendly. The kitchen wasn’t very open to our critique, but he removed one of the Schnitzels from the bill, so the damage wasn’t quite as bad.

Okay

I had the planted vegan Schnitzel, my friends had a „normal“ Schnitzel. It tasted good, but some salt and spice was missing and very expensive (16€) for what you got. You get some green salad with it (which I changed for fries), but cranberries, ketchup etc. you have to order additionally for 1-3€ each. I would definitely recommend reservation if you go there, because the place was very crowded even though it was a Tuesday night. It was okay, also nice that this traditional Schnitzel Restaurant had a vegan option, but for this price I wouldn’t eat there again.

Yummy but expensive

The planted Schnitzel was super yummy but small compares to the "original". The Erdäpfelsalat was amazing. The service is excellent. You should definitely make a reservation if you plan to eat there in the evening.

Great Vegan Schnitzel!

I am from Vienna and I already brought two visiting friends here to try the vegan schnitzel! It’s probably the best I‘ve ever had. You also have to try their fries, I think they are amazing😄
Figlmüller is an old, traditional restaurant and the everybody is doing their best to make your visit as pleasant as possible. Our waiter was super attentive and friendly and asked us several times if everything was alright. Sadly, their schnitzel seems to be the only vegan thing on the menu.

Pros: great service, the vegan schnitzel ;), good location in the heart of Vienna

Cons: only one vegan option , a bit pricy
