Traditional delicious cuisine - Edit
I had a wonderful dinner with typical dishes of Austrian cuisine. Staff were very friendly, food delicious. I was impressed by the crispiness and dimensions of the Wiener Schnitzel. I’m going to come again!

Delicious but extra pay for ketchup - Edit
We had the Wiener Schnitzel, the Cordon Bleu and the Kaiserschmarren. Everything was very tasty, but the breading on the schnitzel and cordon bleu crumbled off on the first cut.

Pros: Tasty
Cons: Extra pay for ketchup, Expensive

Dear chiicoree! Thank you very much for the honest feedback and the good rating. We always try to maintain a fair price-quality ratio. Many of our meat substitute products are selfmade, like the Cordon Bleu. This extra quality leads to higher prices.

Have they not heard of salt? - Edit
We went here with high expectations. The menu and the pictures looked good, and there are so many good reviews. However, as soon as we got our food, we were very disappointed. It's as if they didn't put salt in their food. If this is a conscious decision of the chef, they should put that on the menu. But like this the food was just pretty bad. We wanted to like it, but just couldn't.
Read morePros: Lots of choice, Traditional austrian, Friendly staff
Cons: Lack of salt makes the food tasteless, Very busy (best to book a table), Kind of expensive
velani1120
Thanks for the honest feedback. You're right, since the WHO only recommends 5g of salt per day, but average consumption is far above this amount, we don't add much salt to our food. However, we always bring salt and pepper to the table upon request; after all, tastes differ. Re-salting is easy, but food that is too salty has to be returned. It's a pity that you didn't give us feedback during your visit, then we would have been happy to help you. Best regards, your Velani staff

It’s as authentic as you can get! - Edit
So if you are a lover of Viennese food, then this is a 5 star place. They did an outstanding job veganizing traditional Austrian food that I would
Read morefind quite hard to do at home. And as a veg who is curious about trying authentic food, I was eager to eat here. So why the 3 stars? Well because I don’t think I would like authentic Viennese food if I ate meat either. Nothing against the cuisine, it’s just lacking a bit in spice and flavor for me. But really, it’s great to try new foods so don’t let my review discourage you! Unless you are a spicy gal like me😄
velani1120
Thanks for the honest feedback. We are sorry that our cuisine did not quite meet your taste. And it's true, we're based on traditional Austrian cuisine, which isn't really spicy. But there are also "daring" dishes on our regularly changing special menus.

One of my favorite meals in Vienna - Edit
I really loved being able to try different traditional Austrian dishes made vegan. The menu has the classics and more and it was difficult to choose! The portions are huge and everything is well prepared. We ate a huge schnitzel with traditional potato salad and goulash with spätzle (like mini gnocchi) as well as sacher torte (chocolate apricot cake) and a traditional crepe with apricot jam to name a few and enjoyed all of it. Service was lovely too.
Read moreWe were so lucky to eat here before they temporarily closed while looking for a new chef. The food is definitely worth trying. They also have an eggnog (made of avocado) that is a must try if you drink alcohol. It tastes similar to what I remember eggnog tasted like.

Good Austrian food - Edit
I enjoyed the goulash with servietteknödels and the blood pudding dish both (the corner more than the latter). And eating real Austrian food was great. So I totally recommend this place. The atmosphere is pleasant enough but had room for improvement. The server was really positive. Air conditioning would have been nice, but that's true everywhere.

Austrian food made vegan! - Edit
We loved our visit to Velani while traveling in Vienna. The traditional Austrian cuisine prepared vegan was flavorful and the portions were large. Our waiter was very friendly and happily assisted us in making selections from the menu as we had never eaten Austrian food. We enjoyed speaking with the owner who was very gracious and provided us with the names of other outstanding vegan restaurants to try during our stay in Vienna.

You must try their schnitzel! - Edit
You must make a reservation. There are many options on the menu. I came specifically to eat schnitzel as the city is famous for its schnitzel. It is served with potato salad on the side. It was very tasty and satisfying. It would be nice if the sauce of the potato salad was a little thicker because it had gone to the bottom of the plate. I also tried tiramisu and nougat dumplings. Desserts were not as good as main course. There was cinnamon in the tiramisu for some reason, and because it was a dominant flavor, the chocolate and coffee taste was very little, maybe another good dessert but not tiramisu, but the consistency was good. The nougat dumplings looked appetizing but the taste was not that good, the dough was thick and sticky. In general, I would recommend you to go. Their house wine is also good. PS: When you leave the restaurant, be prepared for the smell of food that will permeate you, this is the reason I gave four points, it should be better ventilated.

Great vegan Viennese food - Edit
We had the asparagus salad as a starter and Wiener schnitzel and a Kümmelbraten as mains. All were really good - wasn’t blown away but it’s still very good food and really nice to have the option to try something local.
Read moreDownside for me was that the interior isn’t massively nicely decorated which does a disservice to the food.

Delightful - Edit
This place is a bit outside the city centre which may put some people off but it's easily accessible with the metro and well worth it. I booked a few hours before via the website. The staff were welcoming and happy to speak English and explain dishes etc. The vegetable broth was nice but wasn't mad about the semolina dumplings. I had never had goulash so was happy to get to try it. There is an overwhelming amount of choice on the menu! Great place to try traditional Austrian food vegan style. Hope to go back if ever visiting the city again and try some other dishes from the menu. Service was really prompt, I couldn't get a table until 8PM which was a little late for me and thought I would be there all night but it worked out perfect because of the good service.
Read moreThe only thing I was confused/let down by was I asked for a Viennese coffee as hoped to try one but what I got was a cappuccino.
Updated from previous review on 2023-05-05
Pros: Great choices, Nice staff
velani1120
Thank you for the nice feedback! We are glad that you enjoyed the food and that you will come back one day. The Viennese coffee is called "Melange" and is very similar to a cappuchino, but there are slight differences, like the amount of milk. Kind regards Velani

Delicious - Edit
We were really blown away by the (in our opinion) amazingly authentic Wienerschnitzel. Our sides included potatos and salad and we had Kaiserschmarrn as dessert, absolutely delicious. The location is a bit further away from the city center but it's fairly close to Schloss Schönbrunn, a couple of metro stations ahead of it I believe.

Austrian Vegan Food - Edit
I’ve never had Austrian food before because it’s very meat centric. This place has all the classics but veganized! I had the dumplings stuffed with “greave” or something like that it was awesome. We hade the black pudding appetizer and it was 10/10. I wish we had ordered more potato salad as a side. Be sure to check this place out. Close to the Renaissance Hotel.

Absolutely love this place! Super tasty food, great service, good atmosphere. From "Frittatensuppe" (vegetable broth with pancake strips) to Wiener Schnitzel, they offer all the classics. It's really nice to be able to enjoy these meals again after becoming a vegan. Brings back a lot of good memories!
