 | Vienna typical Austrian specialities Reviews | Tips 11 - 20 of 40 |  |
Around noon, I passed at the Hoher Markt. I noticed that there was a stand which was selling the typical sausages (Bratwurst).
So, the I did like may locals do, I did buy a bratwurts with bread and mustard.
As I am a real meatlover, it was tasty, quick and cheap.
Yes right, maybe this is not the most healthy food, but so what . . . .

The name of this restaurant tends to get stuck somewhere between your tongue and your throat but the food and drinks it serves slide down effortlessly. It serves lots of specifically Austrian main courses but is most widely known for its pancakes, deserts and milkshakes. The pancakes are savoury and sweet and you can order either half or full portions which is a real plus. It's situated about halfway between Stephansdom and Schwedenplatz which makes it easily accessible from anywhere in the city centre. As we were a large VT party we sat outside and were allowed to occupy our tables without any bother for about five hours. Service was exceptionally friendly and the ambience on the street terrace was really pleasant.
Open from 10.00 a.m. to midnight
I had a savoury cheese and bacon pancake with salad for my main course which was tasty but not exceptional in any way. My desert, on the other hand, (which I ordered a full portion of), was exceptional in most ways possible to food. This 'Viennese Platter' consisted of three pancakes with three different fillings served with chocolate sauce, custard and cream. You can see it in the photograph and rather than lapse into purple prose I will settle for saying it tastes even better than it looks.

If you are looking for a place that serves typical Austrian dishes but not being touristic at all, then "Zum Huth" is probably a good choice. The restaurant is located in the centre, more or less close to the Ronacher theatre, the Stadtpark and the Ringstraße. The interieur design reminds a bit of the 70ties. I had salmon (Alpenlachs) with spinach leaves and celery puree, which was rather good. Prices range between 10 and 20 EUR for a main course.

A nice concept similar to the Middle East tradition of Meze or Spanish tapas.
The menu comprises lots of small dishes from different cuisines. The idea is to keep ordering different dishes until you've had enough. Desserts are served the same way.
It's good to eat this way and sample lots of different flavours. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 1, Salvatorgasse 6/corner of Marc-Aurel-StraßePhone: 533 3037 |
If you really want to try Viennese specialities like Beef-Goulash, Schnitzel, Kaiserschmarrn, Palatschinken, Naturschnitzel, and so on come to this small restaurant, but be aware that it will be packed during lunch-time as a lot of locals come to eat here!
They also have a daily dish for a reasonable price and also Pasta and of course SOUPS!!!! Wonderful SOUPS!!! The best!!! Of course the traditional Viennese Soup Pot with beef and chicken meat, noodels, peas and carrots in a huge pot!!! Amazing!!!!
Also the Kaspressknoedel-Soup is fantastic, t is a bread dumpling with cheese, yummy and also served in a big pot! And of course a daily soup and Goulash soup....so if you are a soup lover and a lover of real austrian dishes without kitchy touristy atmosphere come to this place, you wont regret!!!

The food was AMAZING and we ate there twice in the short time we were on holiday. I would highly recommend making a reservation. The crowd is local, service fantastic and food was heavenly. If you are not familar with the local language the waiter has a card that translates most of the dishes into English.

The restaurant is really big and when I was there it was full so it's better to reserve a table before.
They also have their own brewery and offer many different kinds of beer.
It serves austrian cuisine.... very good and quite cheap. Wiener Schnizel or Spinach Gnocchi are well worth trying. You should try the Apfel Strudel too.... and don't forget about the beer!!!

For schnitzel Figlmüller in 1st district is the obvious choice,
Schnitzelwirt in Neubaugasse (7th district) is recommended by lots of locals,
for a "younger" atmosphere, check out one of the many Centimeter restaurants (for example in Spittelberg 7th district, behind Museumsquartier).
My best tip is for the "homemade" feeling and ambiente is
Restaurant Hummer, corner Florianigasse/Lange Gasse in 8th district. Reasonably priced and the food is made with pride and love.

At Zum Bettelstudent (means literally "At the Begging Student's"!) you get great local food including tasty schnitzel, and you get value for your money. Not only do they have excellent three-course lunch menu deals ("Mittagsmenu" or "Tagesmenu" from 11:00 to 14:30) for EUR 6.90, the location is also superb, Johannesgasse 12 in 1st district just a short walk from Stephansplatz and Stadtpark and all other must-sees.
Haven't been disappointed with anything yet!
