Ausgezeichnetes österreichisches Essen und nette Bedienung. Wir hatten das Gulasch und die Vegansl. Leider waren wir zu voll um einen Kaiserschmarren zu geniessen. Wir müssen einfach nochmals hingehen 😊.

Variedad vegana - Edit
Me gustó muchísimo el sabor del Schnitzel pero la presentación era un poco pobre. Lo acompañaban con una ensalada de patata a parte. Lamentablemente no tengo fotos porque estaba hambrienta 😄

Pros: Schnitzel , Postres, Personal
Cons: Un poco caro
velani1120
Thank you very much for your kind review and positive feedback! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn. In our restaurant, schnitzel is traditionally served with potato salad – a classic pairing that’s very popular in Austria. We understand that the presentation might seem unusual to some, but we focus on authentic, down-to-earth cuisine. We’re also glad to hear our team made a good impression! We look forward to welcoming you back soon – maybe this time with a photo before the first bite! 😄

Hausmannskost vegan - Edit
Wir wollten „typisch österreichisch“ und das haben wir im Velani bekommen. Es hat gut geschmeckt, da habe ich nichts auszusetzen.
Read moreWas ich kritisieren würde wäre höchstens die ein wenig ungemütliche Atmosphäre und die schnelle Abfertigung, aber das ist wirklich meckern auf hohem Niveau.

Wir würden uns freuen, dich bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen und dich dann noch mehr zu begeistern.

All vegan Austrian fare - Edit
Loved the chance to eat Austrian cuisine, made vegan. I took my server’s recommendation and ate until I couldn’t eat anymore, and still had food to take away with me.

I died and went to vegan heaven - Edit
When I saw there was a vegan restaurant serving traditional austrian dishes next to my hotel, I knew I had to go!
Read moreI decided to get the zwiebelrostbraten and it was probably one of the best vegan meals I've had in my life! The meat had an amazing texture, the sauce was super flavorful and sweet from the onions and loved the addition of crunchy fried onion on top 👌 Really makes me wish there were more vegan restaurants serving traditional european food out there.
It's a little pricy but so worth it. The portion is massive, I was stuffed. I'd love to return one day to try the famous schnitzel 😁

Needs to Improve - Edit
If we came across Velani in a small town, we’d be impressed. But, this place doesn’t compare to the other places in the city. The ambience is not great and it’s very hot in the summer. I get no AC (super rare in Austria), but they should at least have fans. The food had flavor and we all liked our dishes to varying degrees. The Wiener Schnitzel, though, wasn’t like the real thing at all. The breading was separating from the Seitan, which made it tough to eat. If you want a good vegan Wiener Schnitzel, go to Tisch instead. The other dishes here are better.

Nice to have vegan version of traditional food - Edit
In every country we travel to we want to try traditional food so happy to have vegan versions ar Velani.
Read moreWe got the onion roast and the caraway roast.
The texture and flavour of the onion roast was amazing, so similar to real meat.
The caraway roast was good too but not quite as realistic.
We have never tried this food so can't compare it to anything, but they were both quite salty and heavy. We were very full at the end.
They were both good though and worth trying
We also got the torte which was good but maybe not all that fresh as it was a bit firmer than we expected, but maybe this is how they're supposed to be

Average and too expensive - Edit
Overall a rather mediocre experience. The interior is not really appealing, and there is 0 air conditioning/cooling, making sitting inside an unpleasant experience.
Read moreWe had:
- small mixed salad: okay, but too expensive for the size and ingredients (basically a few potatoes and coleslaw)
- Zwiebelrostbraten: unfortunately it tasted extremely bland, like 0 seasoning was added to the "meat" , the sauce, the potatoes or the crispy onions. The meat (I guess soy) had a nice consistency but due to the lack of seasoning you could clearly taste the soy steak.
- Kümmelbraten: very good, well seasoned, also the sides and the sauce.
Waiters were nice but took a long time to check the table to pay.
Updated from previous review on 2024-08-15
Pros: Really good Kümmelbraten , Friendly Staff
Cons: 2 out of 3 meals not really good, Too expensive for what you get, Not really pleasant to sit inside

Cute, friendly, all vegan - Edit
The restaurant was really cute, and the staff were super friendly. The meal was good. I had schnitzel (only my 2nd time), and it was good, though my friend said it was perfect in her opinion. I'd never had it as meat before, so I suppose her take was better than mine.
Read moreThe potato salad was divine. Not creamy; lemony perfection.
We also split the special Greek-inspired salad which was to
Tomato, watermelon, cucumber. It was very nice for summer.
My friend had chocolate cake & enjoyed it very much. I was too full to even have one bite.
Pros: All vegan, Lots of great choices on the menu, Really wonderful staff
Cons: It was a bit of a trek from where we were staying.

Netter Service, leckeres Essen, nach Harmonie suchendes Ambiente - Edit
Uns hat der Besuch im Velani gut gefallen. Die Wienerische Traditionsküche kann hier vegan genossen werden. Stutzen ließ uns das Ambiente, was weder modern noch traditionell wirkte. Außerdem hat uns irritiert, dass das Schnitzel nicht mit Preiselbeeren gereicht wird, die kosten fast 2€ (für eine kleines Schälchen) extra, genau wie ein einfacher Beilagenwechsel pauschal extra kostet.
Read morePros: Schnitzel, Gruß aus der Küche , Knödel
Cons: Ambiente, Extrakosten für einfache Serviceleistung
velani1120
Liebe hannah.naima, danke für das nette Feedback. Bezogen auf die Kritikpunkte wollen wir kurz Stellung nehmen:
Read more- Die Preiselbeeren bieten wir als Extra an, da nicht alle Gäste diese wollen. Daher ist der Schnitzelpreis reduziert worden.
- Der Aufpreis für den Beilagentausch ist in der Karte extra ausgewiesen.
Alles Liebe aus dem Velani!

Authentische Österreichische Vegane Küche - Edit
Ich hatte den Zwiebelrostbraten und er war unfassbar lecker. Er hat nahezu identisch zu meinen Erinnerungen geschmeckt. Auf jeden Fall ein muss, wenn man in Wien ist und Vegan auf seine Kosten kommen möchte. Der Service und das Ambiente war zudem auch sehr gut. Jedoch ist eine Reservierung meist nötig.

Vegan Austrian cuisine at Velani - Edit
During our stay in Vienna we really had't had any typical Austrian food yet, so for our last evening we decided to go to Velani and try out some traditional Austrian food made vegan. They had a special section on the menu with traditional Serbian dishes, but we really wanted to try some Austrian dishes so we skipped that section of the menu. But I think it's a cool (temporarily) addition to the menu.
Read moreFor mains, we had the Zwiebelrostbraten which is a roast "meat" and onion dish with sauce and loads of onions and the vegan Goulash with spätzle (type of pasta).
The Zwiebelrostbraten was utterly delicious. The "meat" was super tender and melt-in-your-mouth, the sauce was super flavorful and there were some delicious crispy onions on top. The roasted potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and are the perfect vehicle for the sauce. I would guess that the meat was made from seitan.
The goulash was just as good as the Zwiebelrostbraten. The meat was also super tender and the sauce was delicious. Also liked the spätzle, although it's not that special and just another type of pasta. But hey, pasta is delicious and so was the spätzle. The goulash was ever so slightly spicy which I really enjoyed, but certainly not spicy enough to keep people who don't like spicy food from enjoying this dish.
For dessert we both had the sacher torte which you should supposedly have tried at least once while in Vienna. Although it wasn't bad by any means, I've had much better cakes in my lifetime. The chocolate taste was good and it had a nice fruity filling inside, but all in all it was a little dry in my opinion. Nevertheless, I would still highly recommend Velani as I thoroughly enjoyed having dinner there.
Pros: Delicious vegan Austrian food, Friendly staff
Cons: Would not necessarily recommend the sacher torte
velani1120
Thank you so much for the detailed and excellent review and your recommendation. We are glad you enjoyed our main dishes (especially the Goulash and our onion roast) - and in general the stay at our restaurant - so much!
