Mani im Vierten

I can understand both the praise and the criticism this place gets. It's undeniably stylish—so stylish, in fact, that it has the kind of vibe that looks like it could gentrify your neighborhood. I ordered the chicken and waffles because I was missing a taste of home. I was expecting chicken legs, but instead it came with breaded chicken breast. To be fair, the chicken was juicy. The waffles were skinny, topped with a few apple slices and pickled onions—an Austrian twist, I suppose. The caramel sauce was nice enough. Overall, though, I didn't find it filling enough to justify the price. I also didn't realize it was cash only until I was already seated. The owner seemed friendly, but my waiter gave off the impression that he couldn't have cared less.

Great place for breakfast with its own terrace. While we were waiting in line, they brought us drinks on the house, which made the wait less stressful. Delicious food, fast service. The only inconvenience is that you can't pay by card, cash only.

We had a wonderful experience at this cafe! The food and coffee were absolutely delicious. The pancakes were amazing — definitely some of the best we’ve had in Vienna. The service was great as well; the staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommended ❤️❤️

I had the regular cheeseburger with bacon jam and it was honestly the best burger I’ve ever had. It was immense! Hostess was really helpful as well recommending different cocktails and speaking in English was super useful for us tourists. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Vienna for a lunch/brunch spot.

We visited Mani today with high expectations which were mostly if not completely met! For food, we ordered the Braised Beef 25€ and the Chicken Waffles with bacon and an egg 20€ with a side of halloumi cheese 8€. To start off, the braised beef was delicious with my only complaint being it was slightly salty if that may be an issue for someone but in my opinion the meat was tender, flavourful and paired beautifully with the crispy yet fluffy potatoes and balanced perfectly with the acidic pickled onions. The chicken and waffles. What more can you say, it’s chicken and waffles! Absolutely out of this world! Every taste was mouthwatering. The halloumi weren’t the best, would not get again- but the baba ganoush it came paired with absolutely saved it! Super tasty! My only real issue with this whole establishment is the coffee, as an avid coffee drinker I have to be honest and say paying 4.9€ for a burnt flat white was so disappointing. It was by far one of if not the worst coffee I’ve ever had, not even a splash of sugar could save it, it was just so burnt! The affogato however was quite nice. Overall my quick review- Try the chicken and waffles but skip a coffee.
