Alt Wiener Gaststätte Beim Czaak

It's a nice local food place. I really liked that they have a set where you can try few things at once like schnitzel, sausage, goulash etc on one plate. Beer was ok too

Great restaurant in Innerstadt district. Typical atmosphere and delicious food. Absolutely recommended!

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!

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.

After a tasty lunch (without desserts) in another restaurant, we went to Czaak for "special" pancakes, with chocolate, wslnut and pistachio filling. The pancakes were provably made the previous day (or that morning), these was hardly any filling. I have a sweet tooth, hardly do I leace a dessert uneaten, but this obe was so unpleasing, I left it. The atmosphere was depressing, the service just O.K. The mulled wibe was quite good. Do not olan to return.

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.

I had dinner at Beim Czaak with a friend when we were in Vienna for a few days earlier this month. Open since 1926, Beim Czaak is a Viennese classic, and we ate some classic Austrian dishes: Chilidebreziner sausage with mustard and horseradish; Tafelspitz (beef served in rich, clear broth with root vegetables, and accompanied apple horseradish sauce and potatoes - it's considered Austria's national dish, the favorite of Emperor Franz Joseph I); and Bohemian pancakes with plum jam, sour cream and poppy seed sugar. The food was good overall, as was the wine. However, the service - at least by American standards - was pretty bad, not very friendly or helpful (almost had to resort to begging to get the dessert menu and then our check). The interior of the restaurant is all historic charm, but we sat outside, where there was great people watching. We still enjoyed ourselves, and I did enjoy the food. But Beim Czaak just wasn't a very friendly place, which hampered our experience a little bit. But I can see why it's been around for so many years - I wish I knew how to make that apple horseradish sauce.

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.

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.

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!

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.
