Tastes like childhood - Edit
It was my first time eating vegan traditional Austrian meals and I really enjoyed it, it tasted childhood. I didn’t have to order much to get full, which is good, since the meals are a bit more expensive. Definitely recommending it!

Delicious Austrian classics - Edit
I had to try Schnitzel in Vienna and it was wonderful, as was the potato salad that comes as a side dish. The staff said I should try it with cranberry jam which is the typical way of eating it, and I loved it.

Vegan Austrian food - Edit
Nice place in a relatively quiet area, offering vegan versions of classic Austrian dishes. Pretty expensive but generous portions and mostly good flavors.
Read moreThe famous schnitzel seemed intimidating, so I went for a soup and a goulash main dish.
The goulash was awesome. Hearty broth very rich in paprika, well seasoned and a bit sweet. Beef pieces that really felt like beef. Some cute Spatzle on the side. Great dish.
The liver dumpling soup is not recommended. The soup is really clear and lacks flavor. There is a single ball in it with unidentified ingredients that was tasty, but that's it. Water, a single peculiar ball and veggies.
5/5 for the goulash, 3/5 for the soup. Friendly staff and spacious setting, but could definitely use an ac or a fan since it was hotter inside than outside.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback.
Read moreWe're very happy to hear that you enjoyed our vegan Austrian cuisine, especially the goulash. It means a lot to us that you appreciated the rich flavours and our plant-based take on this classic dish.
We're sorry to hear that the liver dumpling soup wasn't to your taste. We'll also definitely take your feedback about the temperature inside into consideration as we continue improving.
We hope to welcome you back soon - perhaps to try a few more of our Austrian classics! 😊🌱

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 💚

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.

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
