Gasthaus Elsner

Very cozy and nice place. The staff was also great. Both the pork and chicken schnitzels were very tasty. (only cash)

Amazing experience! Great service, friendly and welcoming! The food is authentic and sooo tasty! A must if you stop in Vienna!

This is a typical Austrian diner, mostly visited by locals. The service was fast, but a bit superficial. Food was good, simple, but the dishes seemed a bit dirty. Tried the schnitzel and the cordon bleau, which both were fair. Something I disliked was the ‘only cash’ payment system which was not specified anywhere but in the menu, which lead me to interrupt my stay to go to the ATM. Overall it was a curious experience, but I won’t repeat it.

Loved the pork schitzel!! It was so tender! The price is very reasonable. We ordered 2 schnitzels, 1 Hungarian goulash, 2 coffees, and 1 soda, and our bill was less than €56. The salad with the scnitzel was the best I had!! Place has a nice informal feel.

Have just come from eating here. What a Gem! Traditional through and through. The Wiener Schnitzel was delicious , as was the beer. The house wine is fantastic (Austrian) …it would be classed as ‘fine wine’ in the UK. Overall, what a lovely evening. Traditional, local, great value for money and quality. Thank you!

The service is really gentle and friendly. The food is amazing delicious and the dark beer is awesome. Highly recommend to visit this fabulous restaurant. Only one thing to remind is that it can only receive cash.

Arrived here and the barkeep was very hospitable. Identified we were English speakers and showed us a table. Hands down the best 👌🏻 schitnzel I have had in my entire life. When I return to Vienna this will be a must visit.

first time trying schnitzel and I’m glad I came here! It was very good, I thought it would’ve been bland and dry but it was juicy, fresh and the mixed salad that it comes with is nice! very different from anything I’ve had but great experience. Customer service is good too, I think his name was Robin sweet man. Good portions and reasonable prices! CASH ONLY !!!

Absolutely amazing. This was my favorite meal in Vienna, and I would make it a priority to come back again. Service was great, crowd was all locals. Cash only! Smaller menu makes it easy to order a phenomenal meal. We ordered cappuccinos, a small goulash (appetizer menu), Weiner schnitzel, and the homemade pan fried sausage. 10/10

Great local eatery. Looked like only locals so definitely not a tourist trap. Schnitzel and goulash were very good. Our server adrianna was fantastic!
