Alt Wiener Gaststätte Beim Czaak - Postgasse 15

The best meal I had on my short trip to Vienna. Service was excellent. Wiener Schnitzel was cook perfectly.

Very cozy place, great meat and absolute superb chocolate muss. It was best dessert I had during my Vienna trip. Prices seem to be slightly higher than average, but not too much.

For dinner tonight we had planned to go to a different place. On the way out of the hotel we decided to ask the front desk about the new place we were headed to. The response was kind of a frown and "it's OK, but that's where the tourists go so it's always busy". Not exactly a ringing endorsement. She then said that Beim Czaak was a much better place that wouldn't be crammed with tourists. We laughed and said that we'd been there yesterday, so we understood the recommendation as it was very good. And we decided to go back. Tonight I ordered what my fiance had yesterday: the "Hausschuhnizel". It's a pork schnitzel stuffed with cheese, ham, mushrooms, and onions, and fried potatoes on the side. It is indescribably good. She had tonight's special, which was sous vide chicken in a paprika sauce with Viennese butter spaetzl in the side. After dinner we had a round of schnapps, a very smooth raspberry one for me, and an apricot one for her that would burn the hair out of your nostrils. For dessert: She had tonight's ice cream dumpling, which was filled with apricot and had a hazelnut crust. I went with the strawberry cremè brûlée which came with a side of whipped eggnog cream and fresh berries. Seriously cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's not fancy or particularly expensive, and the food and beer is top notch.

Fabulous menu and great vegan options too, lovely atmosphere. Had a great time with colleagues whilst working in Vienna ?

A real authentic restaurant of Vienna. You can feel several hundred years of Austria here. Great food and drink. Not the cheapest one, but it's absolutely worth it.

Absolutely wonderful. Had the classic Wiener Schnitzel, a house beer, and another of the barkeep's choosing. Total damage was 30 Euros - 20 for the Schnitzel (two very large pieces) and boiled potatoes with parsley sprinkled on top, served with a lemon wedge, then ~5 each for the beers (0.5L). Beer was pretty good, but the schnitzel and potatoes were fantastic. It has been a long, long time since I tasted anything as good as the schnitzel. Whereas I refuse to order steak in the U.S. because I can't bring myself to pay $15 for one, I would pay 20€ for that schnitzel again and again and I would keep asking for seconds. It's that good. Service was a little dry initially - but I got a smile out of my waiter eventually, and he definitely appreciated the tip. I walked in just moments after 6:00 PM on a Saturday, and there was a table of 5 and a table of 1 occupied. My request for a table of 1 experienced no resistance; however, shortly after, a few parties of 4 came in without reservations, and it was clear that the waiter wasn't initially sure if they could accommodate them. Though there were plenty of tables to seat 4, reservations seem to be a really big deal here. So, don't do what I did and go "eh, I don't need to reserve a table for one." Reserve your table, no matter the size. At the very least, the staff will appreciate it for sure.

Friendly staff and good food. We had goulash and their special sweet drink with peppermint leaf. Desserts not as special as the mains, but also nice. Overall, I recommend, especially as it was less busy than the main touristic places in Vienna.

Cozy, authentic restaurant with friendly staff and delicious cuisine! A bit pricey.
