Gastwirtschaft Wratschko - Neustiftgasse 51

Nice classic Austrian food in an old fashioned setting. Real friendly servers. If you don't like feeling like a smoked fish ask for a seat in the non-smoking section. The cow tongue starter was delicious.

This Restaurant serves Authentic Austrian Food with Old School Interior Design. Nice handwritten Menu with some vegetarian dishes also in English available and friendly helpful Staff. The Restaurant has different Rooms starting with a Bar. Reservations recommended!

Cosy. Quaint. Authentic Austrian food. Nice place. Allows smokers . thankfully waitress moved us from the smoking area once a table came free in the non smoking area. Not that cheap for the though. €15 For main course. Good size portions though. Menu limited hence 4 rating. House white wine was good. Smoked Meat dumplings were lovely but the accompanying veg was a bit undercooked. Waitress was really friendly and helpful. Recommended

One of the best eating experiences. Please, English-speakers, treat this place with love and respect. It's a pub stuck in time with great food, fine beer, smoky atmosphere, and some of the best green beans I've ever had (no kidding, try them). They don't have an English menu, but servers are kind and patient. This is Vienna at its best.

Very nice typical bar/restaurant in the center of Vienne. We had the chicken and the meatballs. Meatballs with the purée were very nice. The chicken with the crispy pasta was a bit disappointing. The waitress was very friendly and gave us great recommendations to taste the local food with nice beer. We recommend if you are looking for typical Austrian food but not if you are looking for any kind of refined cuisine and atmosphere.

Stunning old fashioned Austrian cuisine. Besides perfect still perfect!! The only thing is you may need to wait for a bit, due to they only get one chef. But do order a pint of decent local beer for yourself and maybe you can have a great conversation with the owner about indie music.

Food is realy ok, but stuff could be better and more friendly and also a little bit more focused on customers. Beer and wine was more then ok. Prices are fair. People are smoking here so You should ask about smoke free table. We were invited for first free table and we didn't noticed that couple of customers were smoking cigaretes.

TLDR - While I am not at all some professional food critic, this is THE BEST meal I have ever had in my entire life. On our trip to Vienna, my fiance and I looked up some places that would be good to try traditional Viennese cuisine. Wratschko popped up on a list and it was even mentioned that Anthony Bourdain came by here so we figured it's worth the try. So.... THE FOOD. On our first night, we ordered the minced meatballs with mashed potatoes and the chicken in a chanterelle sauce with dumpling. The chicken was cooked completely through, yet still remained juicy and tender. The sauce was a tad saltier than i may have preferred, but the whole dish was still unbelievable. The meatballs were dense and savory, and the well flavored with this dish's own unique sauce. The starchy sides came exactly as they should in texture and flavor (okay, actually the mashed potatoes were nothing like I'd ever tasted anywhere else - creamy, fluffy, but also had chunks of diced potato. Both times we got them, they tasted like this and it was incredible), and even the steamed vegetables that seemingly garnished the plate only added to the dishes' flavor profiles. These veggies kept their natural colors as overcooked ones tend to, and each night was crisp and bright, contrasting the denser flavors of the meats and starches. This meal was so good, we had to come back on our last night in Vienna. On this second visit, which I am writing as I eat, we ordered the boiled beef with pumpkin oil as a starter (similar to a Tafelspitz) the minced meatballs again (fiance wanted to repeat that) and the roasted lamb. The boiled beef was very interesting. It tasted almost like a Vietnamese beef salad, except with more European flavors. The pumpkin oil was mixed with a hint of balsamic and the herbaceous aroma of parsley pierced through just enough with each bite of beef, spiraled radicchio, and diced peppers. The roasted lamb would be #3 if I had to rank all the main dishes we've tried, but nonetheless cooked perfectly, and it's only fault is that I feel like I could've had the same dish at a different restaurant. Finally on this second visit, we ordered the pancakes with apricot jam as a dessert to share. It's more of a thick crepe than a pancake. Fluffy, with some sugary charred ends, balanced with the tartness of the jam, and dusted over with some powdered sugar. Delicious. As for environment, the restaurant has a cozy, old-timey interior with candlelit tables and wooden walls. The downside of the inside is that it's not well-ventilated and the kitchen smoke billows a bit through. You'll leave smelling like a bit of grease. They do have outdoor seating though so if you can't stand it, wait for the outside? There is one server/bartender/busgirl and one chef working this whole restaurant. This place is just out of this world. I will miss this restaurant more than the whole rest of Vienna.
