    Amazing schnitzel schnapps and cordon blue and beer and you will need to waste some time in line nearby the entrance, but you will forget as soon as will see schnitzel- it bigger than plate!)🍽🍻

    Great place to have traditional Austrian food. Great and huge schnitzel (€15). Also recommend ordering the potato salad as a side (€5), it's very tasteful. The place is small but cosy.

    Both pork and veal schnitzels are great! Don't miss their typical potato salad, but forget about their soft drinks! Good service, it was a pleasure to return there the second time. ❤️

    If you like to try the traditional Austrian schnitzel this is the right place. Combine it with potato salad which makes them both tasteful. Crowded but worth the wait.

    The “schnitzel” is wonderful! Don’t forget to combine it with the recommended potato salad and ask for butter! The butter makes things perfect. Cf Julia Child - you can never have too much butter!

    It is simply amazing. Yes we waited for a short while but it is worth for anything. The veal schnitzel and the potato salad (especially) are exceptional. Make sure you make a reservation or go early.

    The "Figlmüller" was advised as one of the best Schnitzel restaurant in Vienna on many forums, so we decided to check it and we liked it! On the right pork Schnitzel and left one is Wiener Schnitzel🤤

    Get your hands on that Spinatknödl! If Heaven on earth exists, that would be it! Massive lines during dinner time though, so get yourself a Viennese they always get in faster than tourists

    A special house where you do not need a reservation. Tested Wiener schnitzel of veal (just keep in mind no chicken after pandemi), and potato-field salad with pumpkin seed oil with a 🍺 lager beer.

    The 15 minute wait of "no booking" was worth it. By the speed of service seems like they pop these flat comforting babies out of the micro, but trust me-they don't. Loved it.

    touristy but still hictoric, traditional austrian and delicious! they serve lunch & dinner - reserve your table online and avoid the queue:) loved “wiener-schnitzel” and adored “kalbsgulasch”.

    Is a must try! Classic pork schnitzel & grüner wine are perfect, oldfashion & beautiful decoration, by the way you can also order half portion because it's really big

    Couldn’t believe there was a line at 3pm on a weekday, but it moved quickly. The schnitzel is worth the hype, but could easily feed 3-4 people if you get sides. Potato salad was the best I’ve ever had

    Cordon Bleu Schnitzel and Veal Schnitzel were absolutely delicious, such that I would have them each time I visit Vienna. Potato Salad had such a quite unique taste but I did not actually like it.

    My best Vienna memories always include this restaurant. Schnitzel is terrific but the styrian potato salad is even more terrific. A must eat for all Vienna visitors.

    A traditional place to find the famous Wiener Schnitzel. The place is well known for the Pork Schnitzel that is bigger than the dish. Arrive with time because the place is always full.

    You probably have to wait in line to get a table if you don't have a reservation, but it definitely worth the 10-20 mins. Try their schnitzel with potato salad and grape juice. They are all perfect!

    Best schnitzel, i had ever eat. It was very good, and big, with the potato salad it is amazing. Highly recommended, if you are in Vienna, and you like schnitzel.

    Famous place in the centre of old Wien.. Established in 1905 and always overcrowded... Worth visiting just even at least to try their schnitzel, original for more than 100 years.. Enjoy ;)) 👍

    Been here 5+ times
    Lots of things, but the center stage of course goes to Wiener Schnitzel + potato salad + apple juice combo. You'll wait for some time to get a table but the taste will make the wait worthwhile.

    If you go Wien you should visit and eat special snitzel. Also potato salad was so delicious and you can drink grape juice. But before go there you must make a reservation from their web side.

    Best schinitzel i've tried in Austria. Nice staff. It closes around 11. So if you go for dinner around 9, you should reserve. We went there at 10 pm, and we found lots of places to sit.

    A Vienna institution. Schnitzel is very very good. But you fight the tourists and the crowd to get a table. A reservation is a must and highly recommended.

    The potato salad is my favorite -- with pumpkin seed oil and greens it's nothing like the mayonnaise covered schlock they serve in the States. Great place !

    If you go there "just" for a schnitzel, don´t expect any fancy servis. But I still love the restaurant. Schnitzels are amazing, u´ll never go wrong..I recommend booking a table, it can get crazy busy!

    Figlmüller Schnitzel is huge and fantastic! Salad is unusually sour, but fits schnitzel perfectly. Cozy, authentic place with big history. Strongly recommend.

    Chicken snitzel and potato salad were excellent. This location offers a higher chance of getting seats than other one. We still had to wait 15 mins @ 3 pm! Grape juice spritzer was refreshing as well

    Best schnitzel in town but you have to be really lucky to find a table. Don't go during lunch or dinner time, it is always full. The other dishes are also amazing so give them a try.

    The schnitzel can be so beautiful at best. Do not forget to order a potato salad next to it, it has been splendid with sweet sauce. The schnitzel portion is huge, very satisfying.

    I had the spinach dumplings in brown butter & a small salad. Not many options for a vegetarian, but honestly these were so delicious!!! I would recommend the salad especially!

    The schnitzel is phenomenal: perfectly moist and goes great with a (large) beer. If one location is crowded, just go around the corner to the other; they're identical.

    Best Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna. Not as crowded as the one on Wollzeile. On workdays, they also have 2 and 3-course daily menues, which are great value for the money
