Alt Wiener Gaststätte Beim Czaak

Absolutely amazing!! They have great Gluten Free food! I had the Weiner Schnitzel gluten free which was my first time finding that. All of the food was delicious. If you are in Vienna and gluten free this is an absolute must! I cannot recommend this place enough. Not only were the staff super nice and inviting but they were also very knowledgeable about allergens. 10/10 would recommend!

Right by my hotel, a nice smaller place with a good atmosphere and kind servers. Some a large amount of options, but a majority of the Wiener schnitzels can be made GF so it was nice to be able to try an Austrian dish. Plus the potato’s on the side were very good as was the ice cream type dessert I got. Highly suggest using the lemon on the schnitzel as it enhanced the flavor so much!

Our friends, long term Vienna residents, booked us into this fantastic place. Almost 100 years of rustic service and the third generation of the family to dish up their signature Weiner Schnitzel. Definitely a cosy atmosphere and reassuringly busy. The star on the menu was the Claasic Weiner Schnitzel. Delicious Veal in breadcrumbs... served very quickly to our table of 5 adults and 4 children. We also ordered tasty goulash and vegetarian dumplings Topped up with a fine Austrian white wine and ice cream dessert. It was a great meal, finished with the chef wishing us well.

We had a very good time at this place. The food and quality was good, also the service. The prices are average in Vienna, the location quaint and cosy.

Delicious food and a nice atmosphere. The menu would be better if it had more vegetarian alternatives.

I really wanted to try an original Vienna Veal Schnitzel before we left Vienna. After a short web search I found this restaurant which had this and other Viennese dishes on the menu. It was also very close to where we were staying. After making an online booking the day before we dropped in for dinner in the afternoon on 4/1/2023. This was a restaurant that was established in 1926. Entering the building we did feel as if we were transported back in time to the 1920’s. We had original Weiner schnitzel, braised lamb knuckle with rosemary sauce and braised vegetables with potatoes, clear soup with beef strudel and a green salad. Every bite was out of this world. The food arrived soon and all of my family members enjoyed all the dishes very much. We did book ahead and I think that would be advisable. It was pet friendly as well. Definitely worth a visit to anyone wanting to savour classical Austrian food.

This is as traditional as it gets. Expect a rustic yet cosy interior where all the Vienna classic dishes are served - Fritatten-Soup, Dumplings and Schnitzel. Nice local beer specialties and a small but fine wine menu make this gem a must go. The soups are simple but ultra tasty. The Schnitzel and Potato salad were some of the best I have tried so far! Fun fact is that you can here from the kitchen that they are pounding the schnitzel to ensure it is thin and crisp!!! Quick and straightforward service! Do not miss this.

Absolutely wonderful. Had the classic Wiener Schnitzel, a house beer, and another of the barkeep's choosing. Total damage was 30 Euros - 20 for the Schnitzel (two very large pieces) and boiled potatoes with parsley sprinkled on top, served with a lemon wedge, then ~5 each for the beers (0.5L). Beer was pretty good, but the schnitzel and potatoes were fantastic. It has been a long, long time since I tasted anything as good as the schnitzel. Whereas I refuse to order steak in the U.S. because I can't bring myself to pay $15 for one, I would pay 20€ for that schnitzel again and again and I would keep asking for seconds. It's that good. Service was a little dry initially - but I got a smile out of my waiter eventually, and he definitely appreciated the tip. I walked in just moments after 6:00 PM on a Saturday, and there was a table of 5 and a table of 1 occupied. My request for a table of 1 experienced no resistance; however, shortly after, a few parties of 4 came in without reservations, and it was clear that the waiter wasn't initially sure if they could accommodate them. Though there were plenty of tables to seat 4, reservations seem to be a really big deal here. So, don't do what I did and go "eh, I don't need to reserve a table for one." Reserve your table, no matter the size. At the very least, the staff will appreciate it for sure.

I had a very nice classic schnitzel here. The staff was friendly, the parsley potatoes were delightful. Not much more to day--this is a very gemutlich spot with nice food. I'd happily return!

It was early Autumn when I ate here last and there's a lot of great outdoor seating here. Definitely have the fried chicken here, it's delicious.

Get the house schnitzel - which is stuffed with prosciutto, cheese, mushrooms, and onions. All the schnitzel dishes come with salad, so its a nice balanced meal. The schnitzel was good, pounded thin, not too salty. I was able to order mine without onions. Service is good. No rush. Casual and slower paced, so you can enjoy your meal and conversation. Front half of the restaurant is the smoking section, but the smoke still lingers backwards.

Excellent. Enjoyed a nice dinner and beers/wines here with my wife. Not fancy or over-done, just friendly and comfortable place and people. Menu has English and staff was very fluent.

Our family group consisting of my wife, our adult daughter, her husband, their two children ages eight and five, and me recently had dinner at Beim Czaak and we were all happy with our meals. The restaurant itself consists of a single long room with tables placed close together. The capacity is not large and It was pretty crowded so I would suggest a reservation. The food is Viennese and is more home style cooking than haute cuisine. They graciously took our outer coats when we came in and were very welcoming. We started with beers and aperitifs. I had an Austrian dry sparkling rose' and my wife had an Aperol Spritzer. The other two adults had draft beers which looked good. I started with the potato soup which was excellent. My wife, son in law, the children and I ordered the Weiner Schnitzel. They were happy to split one order for the children and to substitute a salad instead of potatoes for my wife. Our daughter ordered a combination plate consisting of half an order of schnitzel and half an order of goulash. I have spent a lot of time in Hungary over the years and maybe that has prejudiced me but I generally don't care much for non Hungarian goulash. Service was excellent and they are child friendly. I would highly recommend.

This place was awesome food was good. Staff was great and spoke good English. Outside seating area is flustered between two buildings which seemed to shield it from the noise of the city. Very pleasant even though there were many other people eating outside.

Yummy spinach dumplings and white wine!

It was at Beim Czaak that I had my first official Austrian meal; in fact, it was at Czaak that I was introduced to the schnitzel. I arrived for a late dinner, and was able to get a table immediately -- there were several people at the bar in the front chatting with the bartender, and a few diners at some of the tables were finishing up. I had an good meal of salad, schnitzel that if I recall correctly had ham, cheese, and mushrooms, and a warm cake with whipped cream. The server was very friendly. Total price was under €26. The cigarette smoke was kind of heavy, but I guess that's Vienna for you, especially in a beisl.

Visiting Vienna from San Francisco, where we are used to great meals. And this restaurant didn't disappoint! Fourth generation business; the owner Michael is personable and rightfully proud of the restaurant his great-grandfather started in 1926. We were looking for authentic Viennese dishes, and found them! We are here for a few days and we definitely will be going back.

Comfy laid back restaurant with very friendly staff and gluten free options! Got the hausschnitzel, made gluten free, and a glass of wine. Best gluten free schnitzel I had in Vienna. The staff were all fluent in English and the restaurant was empty at 6, although there were many tables with reserved signs on them presumably for later.

Really good local restaurant. Well worth a visit. The House schnitzel is outstanding as are the potatoes that come with. Best fried potatoes I have had for a long long time. Enjoyable relaxed atmosphere, lots of locals. We managed to get a table quickly the first time but booked ahead on our second visit, which was fortunate as it was packed. If you are in Vienna search out this restaurant.
