Old Vienna Restaurant

What an amazing restaurant! Werner and his team are fantastic, he is bursting with personality and seriously knows how to cook! A great seasonal menu, lots to choose from but the menu isn't overwhelmingly huge, which is great. Everything was seasoned perfectly, no extra salt or pepper needed! The place is small and a little dated, but it feels like a special place and is homely. Next time I'm Torquay, I'll certainly be back!

I can't fault this place at all. Old Vienna has been on this road for the last 40+ years and it shows why. The food is perfect, the service is perfect, and the owner is a fantastic guy with such good energy. Werner clearly cares about his business, perfecting his menu and being so attentive to his customers, even coming out of the kitchen to ask how the evening is going. Will definitely be returning on my next visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic place to eat , brilliant staff, fabulous food and a great atmosphere to be in ! We will be returning very soon. Thank you

A very highly rated place and for good reason judging by our visit. We were fortunate to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary here. If it hadn't had fell on a midweek day then I feel we wouldn't have got in. It's an unpretentious dining room and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The menu is a bit limited and any fussy eater like me may want to phone ahead to check what's on offer. We had fillet steaks and they were excellent, together with a nice selection of vegetables. Note these are included in the price and they can do a bit of "mix and match" across the menu. The desserts were simply sublime. Despite its popularity and reputation we thought the prices are very competitive even compared to lesser establishments. It's a small bar but we were happy. The service from our friendly and attentive waitress was exemplary.

As everyone says, fantastic food, warmest greeting and treatment from staff who'd obviously love being there. Book well in advance! This is the kind of establishment where they do one sitting per table per night. 22 covers, so 22 meals served per night. Many dishes are Austrian, then Austrian chef is also the owner and wonderfully charismatic. The food is not shy in flavours. Even the snapse at the end is home made. We'll be returning.

A brilliant restaurant with fantastic menu. We had the Scallops, Lobster Ravioli for starters, Duck breast, Beef Fillet for mains, apricot dumpling and pancake filled cherries for desserts. The staff were very friendly and the owner made time to talk to every table. A great fine dining experience.

The lobster, salmon and scallop ravioli starter was delicious, as was the sticky date toffee pudding, but I was extremely disappointed with the scallops as a main dish; It was literally double the size of the starter, which didn’t feel like a proper meal at all. The scallops tasted over-cooked and the sauce was overpowering!! The service was great but it didn’t make up for the over-priced food. I don’t mind paying more for something high quality, but the food is definitely not that. A bit of a let down. ☹️

Managed to get in on a busy Friday night. Food was amazing. Locally picked Cèpes, gently breadcrumbed and served with a subtle garlic sauce. Side of Salmon with a hint of smoke, with veg. Veal schnitzel. Tender and soft. Plus house pudding! Great staff. Wonderful service. Delicious food. Great ambiance! Thank you!!
