Restaurant Jolly Ox - Josef-Gall-Gasse 5

Traumhafte Steaks in nettem Ambiente

Very familiar, No fast food!

Long wait time but excellent steaks.

Steaks were amazing! Staff was very kind and helpful

Fantastic steaks. The owners were extremely nice to us. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone hoping for a well made meal

Best steakhouse in Vienna! But be warned: you have to book well in advance and really take your time. Better be prepared to spend the whole evening. Slow Food at its best and nothing for Vegetarians.

Party of 2 on a Saturday evening with no reservation - the staff were kind enough to find us a table (we arrived at 6.30pm). Through our own ignorance, it was a little tricky ordering to begin with as the staff didn't speak and English and our German is very limited! The lady did get the chef to speak to us though and he was very helpful. You'll receive a salad to eat as you please as well as an appetiser of what I would describe as close to paté but slightly different. It's very nice with the fresh bread. Now be warned - between arriving and eating your main you'll be waiting at least 90 minutes. DO NOT go absolutely starving because the smell of the steaks cooking will make it worse! The steaks - WOW. Between us we had a maxi-size (360g/13oz) striploin (sirloin) cooked medium and a maxi-size ribeye cooked mid-rare. Both were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The flavour was incredible. The garlic butter you get a ton of to add yourself was incredible. The sides were perfect in size and taste. The atmosphere was brilliant too. You get to watch chef cook in an open kitchen and see how everything is prepared. The decor is delightful. The service is extremely friendly. It's all very reasonable priced either, our entire meal was 86 euros. I always had Hawksmoor down as the best steak I've eaten and never thought it would be topped. Sorry guys, but the Jolly Ox takes it and by a considerable margin. Do yourself a favour and make this a MUST on any visit to Vienna!

Best steak in town. Book way in advance to get a table and plan to spend the whole evening. Service takes a longer time but it is worth the wait. Living room like dining experience. The beef tartare is divine!
