Alte Welt

We asked the waiter for potato salad with the schnitzel. They didn’t have it, but offered us a mixed salad instead. The schnitzel came with potatoes anyway, plus the extra salad they sold us. They won’t tell you this, but let me: schnitzel already comes with potatoes and salad. The staff also seemed incredibly tired and unhappy. I hope they find a new job soon.

I had a wonderful evening in this delightful and simple little restaurant! Though they were expecting a party of 30 and understaffed by their own admission, it was not at all apparent as I was seated and served promptly with one of the most delicious meals I've had this trip - and if I could have licked the plate I would have (but the other patrons may have been disturbed by this and the remnants that would have remained in my beard, I'm afraid). The wine-infused braised beef shoulder was as tender and flavourful as I've ever had, balanced perfectly with the thinly sliced potato and soft vegetables. I could have happily had another plate, but had instead a delicious, freshly baked dessert. I'll definitely be coming back and would gladly recommend a visit! 7/5 stars!

The food was unremarkable — rather bland, and the soup was overly salty. The portion size was fine. The service was average, though it was pleasantly surprising to hear Czech spoken. The restaurant is located in a basement, which can sometimes create a nice atmosphere, but that wasn’t the case here. Sitting in the courtyard is the better option. Paying almost €10 for a 0.5 l Almdudler was quite a disappointment.

The outdoor atmosphere was great, but the interior was quite disappointing - the air inside was unpleasant. The service was okay, but the food didn’t meet expectations. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for traditional Austrian cuisine.

Well the experience was quite underwhelming. The garden looked lovely but that is probably only positive. Seating inside was in a basement without windows, basically oldschool eastern block style pub. Food was sadly extremely bland and kinda without right textures. Service was alright, but nothing special. For the price of this meal, you can easily go to another restaurant around, which would most likely give you an experience you enjoy. This was not one of them.

We just dined at Alte Welt paying with a tour operator coupon for a three course menu. One of the saddest eating out experience ever. We had as appetizer a plain salad and as main course a mountain of white rice with some boiled chicken breast in a sort of cream and thyme sauce. All sitting in a separate corner from the other customers (eating normal food) with unused chairs, broomsticks and empty beer barrels. Personally I would had paid an extra to be treated as anyone else. The customer was polite and dessert not of our taste, but at least a proper dessert.

Beautiful authentic restaurant. If you want to immerse yourself in a truly full Austrian experience this restaurant is highly recommended. All the dishes are excellent and delicious. Perhaps it can get a bit too loud at times, but I would say that’s part of the experience!

What a find! All four of us enjoyed our very different local meals and beers! Just off the square. Would definitely recommend!
