Figlmüller – Restaurant Bäckerstraße

I won’t say anything new than what everyone else is saying here. Great traditional restaurant which is almost all the time packed. Depending on the time of the day you visit you may have to wait even for 45 minutes to be seated if you don’t have a reservation! We were lucky and got seated within 10minutes without a reservation. We ordered some starters and then obviously one original schnitzel and one Viennese one alone with some side dishes. I cannot express how great and tasty they were and also the portions are the traditional huge ones from many years ago when the restaurant originally opened. We ordered some nice Austrian wine as well. Price was very good. We left the restaurant very happy and very full of food! You have to try it out!

I would say it’s one of best schnitzel in my life. This is not like other restaurants which are more like a tourist trap. Food here from salad to soup to main courses present very well. I would come back again! Meanwhile, it is always a line here, recommend to make a reservation in advance.

Visiting with two young kids, I knew I had to book this restaurant online in advance. After receiving my confirmation, I had to reconfirm closer to the date, which only added to the anticipation—it must be a really popular spot if they go to such lengths to secure reservations! Luckily, they sent both an email and an SMS reminder, making it easy to confirm. I managed to get a table at 8:30 PM, which was quite late, but even then, there were long queues outside. That made me even more grateful for booking ahead. I ordered the original pork schnitzel with potato salad, paired with grape juice from their own vineyard. Everything was absolutely delicious! I’m not usually a big fan of potatoes (yes, I know 🫣), but their potato salad—mixed with chives, olive oil, and a special house dressing—was surprisingly tasty. Even the grape juice was outstanding. The service was great despite the packed and lively atmosphere. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience!

Considering it's one of the most famous restaurants in Vienna, it was quite crowded. We tried the beef schnitzel, which was delicious, along with the potato salad. However, they don’t automatically serve cranberry marmalade you have to request it separately. When it came time to pay, we had to wait almost 15 minutes, which was frustrating. Since it's a well-known spot among tourists, making a reservation is highly recommended.

The best beef Schnitzel I’ve ever had. The beef was so tender and moist, the crust was perfectly crunchy. I also ordered potato salad that was so delicious

Figlmüller is the go-to spot for Vienna’s most famous schnitzel—massive, perfectly crispy, and served with classic sides. The atmosphere is traditional yet polished, and service is efficient despite the constant crowds. Reservations are a must, or expect a wait. A tourist favorite, but still delivers on quality.

Eating at Figlmüller, which has been ranked number one for many years on Taste Atlas's best restaurants list, was an unforgettable experience for me. If you ever find yourself in Vienna, Figlmüller is a must-visit. I had an unforgettable dining experience there. The Wiener Schnitzel was amazing, but the potato salad completely blew me away! If you don't have a reservation, you may have to wait for hours. I recommend going to the restaurant about an hour before closing time so you can avoid a long wait. I highly recommend it to everyone.

This schnitzel is seriously one of the best I’ve ever had! It was so huge that it didn’t fit on a plate! And the fries are to die for… definitely worth checking out this restaurant, but make sure you make a reservation a couple of days before because otherwise the line takes about an hour. Make sure to have time to wait for the meal about an hour too, the restaurant is always packed!
