    Originally we had planned to try out some more restaurants in Vienna, but the food in the Griechenbeisl was good, the tables in the garden so nice, the location so conveniently close to our hotel, that we only ate there.
    Not too many vegetarian dishes can be found on the menu, but since their dessert menu is so good, no vegetarian has to stay hungry. My favourite here was the Mohnsoufflé - poppy seed soufflé, closely followed by the pancakes - Palatschinken, or maybe the apricot ice-cream dumplings? I really cannot decide, they were all so good.

    This is one of Vienna's oldest restaurant, from 1447, and the song "Oh du lieber Augustin" has first been sung there. It's a song about losing just about everything, but not moaning about it, rather accepting it and keeping good spirits.

  • The visit there is a real pleasure and culinary adventure.
    It is one of oldest restaurants of Vienna and they say that it was visited by such famous people like Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert.

    Me and my husband wanted to try the most typical Austrian dish which was Wiennerschnitzel and drink really good wine and we could do it there.
    So if you are interested in nice historical place with really good food don't hestitate to visit Griechenbeisl.

  • Griechenbeisl has a medieval structure is built on a narrow deep plot of land. The restaurant has gone by this name since the 18th century and welcomed guests like myself, Wagner, Strauss and others. A great evening outing not to be missed.

  • While in Vienna - be sure to visit this famous restaurant. It's really excellent!! The atmospere is nice and the cuisine is good enough to attract people for more than a century.

    Despite the name this is a traditional Viennese restaurant next to the remnants of the old city walls. A restaurant has been on this site since 1487 or so! The food was well-prepared and presented and not all of it was heavy. A lovely, atmospheric place! The name comes from the Greek Orthodox church nearby.

    Griechenbeisl.
    by Bjorgvin
    A very old house, first mentioned in documents from 1447, and has ever since been a restaurant or “a public house” under various names. It has many small vaulted rooms, upstairs and downstairs. The name “Griechenbeisl” is derived from the Greek merchants that settled in the 'Fleischmarkt' (Meat Market) and frequented this place. 'Griechenbeisl' has been the meeting place of many great artists, scientists and politicians - Beethoven, Schubert, Strauss, Mark Twain, Grillparzer etc. It has been proved that Mark Twain wrote his story 'The Million Dollar Note' in one of the rooms in Griechenbeisl.

    Wiener schnitzel, Apfelstrudel.

  • Reichenberger Griechenbeisl in Fleischmarkt 11. A lovely small restaurant from the 1500 with a garden outside.
    Then the Sacher cafe at the Sacher hotel, no words for describing the sacher cake....
    Moderate price. But it's the atmosphere that its nice and genuine.

    Different sorts of salads and ofcourse the schnitzler and the gulash.

    Griechenbeisl: The same food as the Griechenbeisel

  • The food is served from the same kitchen as the Griechenbeisel by charming waiters and waitresses. The atmosphere is less formal and the service is much faster.

    The steak is great and the Maibock (deer) extraordinary.

    An inn has been on this site since 1457, next to the glittering gold Greek Orthodox church, in one of the prettiest areas in the city. Now housed within the half-timbered walls is a old-fashioned kitchen that serves traditional, delicious Viennese dishes, such as thick and hearty goulash soup, Wiener schnitzel, and Apfelstrudel. In summer tables are set up in the charming small square in front of the restaurant.

    The Apple Strudel was amazing!
