I visited here because they're famous for their Wiener Schnitzel. I went to make a reservation on a weekday, but all weekday reservations were full, so I made a reservation for Sunday. There were plenty of customers both when I made my reservation and when I went to eat. The phone kept ringing, so it seemed like a really popular restaurant. I ordered pumpkin soup, original Wiener Schnitzel, and chocolate mousse. I wanted to eat apple strudel, but I was a shame that they couldn't order it today. I warmed myself up with the warm pumpkin soup and ate the massive Wiener Schnitzel. It was delicious, Wiener Schnitzel tastes even better when eaten with the mini potato salad and cranberries that come with it. The chocolate mousse for dessert was so beautifully plated that I almost didn't want to eat it. It was gone in an instant. The freshly-served food was warm and delicious. The staff seemed busy, but they were friendly. I highly recommend making a reservation if you visit.

Really tasty food and great service! The staff were friendly and very considerate. They quickly noticed I was struggling with the German menu and kindly brought an English one without me having to ask. Warm hospitality and a lovely experience overall. Would love to come back.

I enjoyed this place a lot. Was the best one during the trip. Tried deer liver with apple and cranberry sauce, pancake with apricot jam. Everything was wonderful! Also saw many pictures of Falco — the waiter told me he lived upstairs and went to the restaurant quite often. I don’t know if it’s true, but was really interesting to ask and listen about him.

Great food in a very nice setting. You can try delicious typical Austrian food like spaetzle and goulash. Very recommended the pork joint

Exceptional place! The vibe is extremely cozy and down to earth, it seems like a restaurant that is frequently targeted by people living in the surrounding area. Prices are super fair and the food tastes extremely well. We had: The soup with Fritatten: Nice broth, not to deep/rich, perfect as a starter and for cold days. Deer Carpaccio: Nice, but tastes the same as the beef one. Also I didn’t get the vision with the fried rucola, but it didn’t taste bad tho. Wiener Schnitzel: Buttery flavour, tender veal & nice crunch. It came with a side of potato salad which was homemade (I assume), it was one of the best I’ve ever eaten, and I’m from Stuttgart. 10/10 Fassl Pfannl: Juicy pork-filet in a nice sauce, with a “Spätzle” like “noodle”. The “noodles” are baked with cheese. Super hearty and flavourful dish, especially when you’re really hungry. One thing tho, the service seem to not really pay attention to us. They took quite some time to clear the table and basically never asked if we need anything else. When paying, we had to go to the from although we told the waiter that we’re ready to get the bill. Overall, 100% recommendation. The food was really good, and we’ll come back.
