Reviews
We were happy to have a try tasty pork Nuckel and a variety kinds of beer in a traditional Vienna style here. The pork Nuckel is visually pleasing and delicious, especially for Asian people. I think the atmosphere here is great. The location is good too! You can visit the prater amusement park next door after your meal, after digestion of course. All in all this place deserves recommendations for all kinds of travelers.
Everything was perfect. Schweizerhaus special was really big and can easily be for 2-3 persons. We didn't had the reservation but the guy's who work there find as a table, it was crowded a lot. Food was perfect all recommendations if you are visiting Vienna. There is also Prater nearby and paid parking.
Its really good but dont make our mistake and dont order pork knuckle for 1 person its way too much food, the staff dont care for reserved tables and tell us sit where isn’t reserved so its a 10-20 mins searching for a table without reservation sign
Schweizerhaus is a must-visit restaurant in Vienna, especially if you’re at Prater. The atmosphere is lively and traditional, with a huge beer garden that’s perfect for enjoying sunny days. The highlight is definitely the Stelze (crispy roasted pork knuckle) – it’s perfectly cooked, juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. The portions are large, so it’s great for sharing. Their freshly poured beer is also excellent and pairs perfectly with the food. Service is fast and efficient despite the crowds, and the whole place has a very authentic Viennese charm. If you want to experience local food and atmosphere, Schweizerhaus is the place to go!
I wasn’t sure what to expect from a traditional beer garden, but this felt exactly right. No extras, no ceremony. You find an open table without a reserved sign and settle in. A server shows up shortly to take your order, and from there it’s all about soaking up the atmosphere. We came for the famous pork knuckle and it was incredible. Crispy skin, tender inside. Honestly one of the best things we ate in Vienna. We also had the mixed salad, sausages with sauerkraut, horseradish, fries, and potatoes. Everything hit the spot. The salad was light and fresh, and the sausage had great flavor. We finished with coffee and a plum ice cream dessert that was surprisingly good. The whole meal was relaxed, easy, and really satisfying. Definitely one of our favorite food experiences on this trip.
