Worth a visit to try Austrian dishes - Edit
Second time there after a few years and forgot how huge the portions are so bring an appetite. Just a reminder that potatoes are normal in salad so even that is quite filling. Make a reservation to ensure seating. The dishes are flavorful and it’s fun to get to try vegan versions of popular Austrian dishes and the people who work there are very nice.

Gut - Edit
Das Schnitzel ist sehr gut. Das Dressing von unseren drei Salaten war mir und meinen Begleitpersonen zu sauer, obwohl wir sauren Salat mögen - das war uns aber zu sauer.
Read moreDie gebackenen Champignons haben geschmeckt, als kämen sie aus dem Glas und als wären sie nicht frisch - daher haben sie uns nicht so geschmeckt.
Die Lasagne war ganz gut, nur waren manche Blätterstücke von der Lasagne sehr fest/hart.

Danke dir für dein ehrliches Feedback 💚
Read moreSchön, dass dir unser Schnitzel geschmeckt hat.
Deine Anmerkungen zu Salat, Champignons und Lasagne nehmen wir uns zu Herzen – genau solche Rückmeldungen helfen uns, besser zu werden.

You can taste here austrian dishes - all is vegan. We have tried Wiener Schnitzeland and Grammelknödel Mit Sauerkraut. Portions are enormous and the waiters are very kind. Although I would add som3 salad to dishes:) I recommend ordering a salat:) definitely worth visiting when you are i Wienna

Hauptspeise hat uns nicht geschmeckt - Edit
Wir hatten den Kümmelbraten und Zwiebelrostbraten bestellt. Leider haben uns beide Speisen gar nicht geschmeckt. Die Konsistenz von einem Braten war wie ein Stück geschmackloser Kaugummi und der andere viel zu stark gesalzen. Wir waren enttäuscht und ich konnte meinen Omni Freund nicht überzeugen. Der Gruß von der Küche war sehr aufmerksam und hat uns geschmeckt. Die Bruschetta als Vorspeise war auch lecker.

Fabulous - Edit
We had a fantastic meal here. The staff were lovely, the service perfect and the food was amazing. We had the schnitzel, goulash, a side of roast potatoes (not needed but the best I’ve ever had!) plus tiramisu and Sacher torte desserts. Plus couple of beers as we’re on holiday.

Wahnsinn - Edit
Wir waren nur vier Abende in Wien, hier sind wir aber direkt zweimal hin. Der Zwiebelrostbraten war top, das Pfeffersteak von der wechselnden Tafel war noch topper! Mega zart und saftig, fast verdächtig gut…

Heartwarming experience - Edit
My Austrian friends took me here last summer to show the local food culture (pancakesoup lol). It didn't disappoint! I ordered the Wiener Schnitzel with potato salad and it was very good!
Read moreEverything else that I got to try was well made, authentic (or very close, but I can't really judge this one) and tasty. Prices and portion sizes match. I fell in love with the Austrian type of potato salad and made it when I got back home haha. Big recommendation!
Pros: Prices and food portions match, Authentic experience
velani1120
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're really happy you had such a heartwarming experience with us and got to explore some Austrian classics. And yes, we Austrians really love "pancakesoup" haha :D.
Read moreIt's great to hear that you also enjoyed the Wiener Schnitzel and even fell in love with the Austrian potato salad - the fact that you tried making it at home is the best compliment we could get.

Great Austrian flavors - Edit
We were specifically looking for a place where we could eat authentic, local food in a vegan way and this place was perfect for that. The selection is wide, we would have loved to try everything. The food is delicious, the staff is nice, the place is simple and pleasant. I can only recommend it to everyone visiting Vienna.

Wiener Schnitzel with Cranberrry Sauce is magnificent - Edit
I don't what it was that prompted me to ask for cranberry sauce as my schnitzel side, but it made it so good. Highly recommend others do the same.
Read morevelani1120
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We love when our guests try new things - cranberry sauce with schnitzel sounds is indeed a perfect twist and therefore at the heart of Austrian cuisine. Great choice, we're glad you enjoyed it so much! Hope to see you again soon at Velani.

Authentic Austrian, bit expensive - Edit
For anyone who wants to try it, it's nice authentic food. For me it's not as good as other places, like Vevi e.g., but that's because Austrian food is worse than Vietnamese food :D. A bit pricey! Schnitzel was good and Kümmelbraten
Read morePros: Kümmelbraten, Schnitzel, Free Tab water if you ask
Cons: Bit too pricey

Finally "Hausmannskost" - Edit

Sehr lecker - Edit
Wir haben noch einen Platz ohne Reservierung und Glück ergattert. Man sollte also vielleicht besser reservieren.
Read moreDer Hauptgang war 5 Sterne!
Mein Freund ist nicht vegan und hatte das Wiener Schnitzel mit Kartoffelsalat und war sehr begeistert!
Mein Zwiebelrostbraten mit Kartoffeln und einer so leckeren Soße, war ein Traum! Sehr empfehlenswert.
Die Speisekarte machte die Auswahl allerdings schwer, da sich so viele Gerichte richtig toll angehört haben. Auch die aktuelle Kürbiskarte klang sehr verlockend.
Zum Nachtisch waren wir eigentlich bereits satt aber wollten natürlich noch etwas probieren.
Die Sachertorte mit Schlag war lecker.
Etwas enttäuschend fanden wir den Kaiserschmarrn, er war mir allgemein zu fest und etwas angebrannt unten, was man leider schmeckte.
Pros: Leckeres, deftiges Essen, Leckere Limonaden, Sehr nettes Personal!
velani1120
Danke für die tolle und ausführliche Rückmeldung! Es freut uns sehr, dass euch die Hauptspeisen so begeistert haben.
Read moreSchade, dass der Kaiserschmarrn nicht ganz euren Geschmack getroffen hat - das geben wir gleich an die Küche weiter.
Und ja, reservieren lohnt sich tatsächlich oft - besonders am Wochenende. Hoffentlich sehen wir euch bald wieder, vielleicht dann für etwas von unserer Kürbis-Karte!

bestes veganes Restaurant ever! < 3 - Edit
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Nachmittag im Velani. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und das Essen war durchweg großartig! Man schmeckt, dass alles selbst gemacht ist und dass hier keine Fertigware oder Tiefkühltruhe auf den Tisch kommt. Dabei kommt die Konsistenz des veganen Fleisches und der Geschmack der Saucen super nah an das Original ran. Und die Auswahl an Nachtischen ist auch ein Traum! Wir waren einfach nur begeistert! Und unser Hund durfte auch mit rein. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

a vienna favorite - Edit
Just two stations away from Schloss Schönbrunn, this was the perfect dinner place after a long day at the castle! It was a great experience, a restaurant like this that offers typical viennese cuisine all vegan was exactly what I wished for. They have so many amazing options and it was super difficult to choose, in the future I'd definitely love to return and try out more food. We had the Kapressknödelsuppe (the cheese dumpling was SO GOOD, very big soup), Wiener Schnitzel and goulash with spätzle, as well as Palatschinken with nougat. Everything was so good. I'm not a big fan of potato salad but it was really well done, the Schnitzel was good and ginormous (we had to take half of it home) and I really liked the goulash too, especially the spätzle were really delicious. Loved the palatschinken of course. It's good to share because all their dishes are really big. The interior isn't particularly cozy or anything but the food speaks for itself, would say this is a must try for vegans in vienna.

Österreichisch Vegan - Edit
Wir waren auf unserer Wien-Reise gleich 2 mal im Velani, weil wir uns nicht entscheiden konnten. Alle Gerichte die wir probiert haben waren sehr gut. Und das, obwohl ich mich früher als Omnivor nie an solche Gerichte getraut hätte. Perfekt, um auch als Veganer*innen die österreichische Küche kennenzulernen.
