"Here, the Wiener schnitzel is the obvious choice – it's best to order it "mit allen Schikanen" (with all the trimmings)! At this attractive restaurant on the Ring that encircles Vienna's old town, good food is accompanied by classical music, Viennese service culture and an elegant yet pleasantly down-to-earth atmosphere. In the open kitchen (which is also visible from outside), you can see the schnitzels being pounded. Why not take part in the weekly schnitzel course. There is even a book for sale:The Wiener Schnitzel Love Book." - Michelin Inspector

"Schnitzel love" is the name of the game at this restaurant in the heart of the old town. Even from the outside you can peer into the open kitchen and see the house speciality, Wiener schnitzel, being prepared. The menu also includes Austrian classics such as Tafelspitz, Esterházy lentils or goose (when in season), as well as desserts such as Salzburger Nockerln. Tip: Leave your car in the multi-storey car park Altstadtgarage A." - Michelin Inspector

Got the Wiener Schnitzel à la Meissl & Schadn, and the 30cl beer. The wiener schnitzel was great. Puffy, crisp, well seasoned. I really liked how there were 2 given toppings with this selection, and I think I preferred the sweet one, but just barely. The savory one was great too, maybe a 60-40 split. You can't go wrong. The potato salad was quite unique. I don't think I have ever had one like that. The potatoes were nicely tender, and the chives added nice color, but I'm not sure something felt like it was lacking. They just didn't stand out as much as the schnitzel and toppings to me, but don't get me wrong 5, it was still quite nice, just certainly not the star, and I'd certainly request to change it out for a different side that they have such as the buttered potatoes. The beer was also good, but I would have taken a larger option if they had one! 30cl is just not enough! Overall, I left feeling full and satisfied. The hefty price tag makes me a bit less likely to come back so quickly, but I hope to be able to dine here again. Thank you for such good service, food, and experience!

Despite arriving late on Friday night, the warm and helpful staff at Meissl & Schadn were outstanding. After a short wait at the Roof Limon Bar, we were seated. The thin veal schnitzel was perfectly cooked and delicious. The fries and potato salad were excellent. Both the atmosphere and service quality exceeded our expectations.

This was the restaurant we chose for our 2nd anniversary dinner during our Vienna trip. Being listed in the Michelin Guide played a big role in our choice. There was a small queue at the entrance but we had reservation so we didn’t wait. The interior was well suited for a date, it was nice to see the schnitzels being prepared. The waiter could have been more friendly and we had to wait quite a while to ask for the bill. The food was great I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a really good schnitzel.

I had Wiener schnitzel Meissl style. It was delivered to my table unbelievably promptly. It was delicious and tender. It comes with two toppings. I especially enjoyed the wild cranberry sauce, which is the sweet sauce versus the savory. I had a glass of their champagne, which was cold and refreshing. the potato salad was unique and very tasty. The restaurant was quite busy moderately loud, but no problem with that at all. prices were quite reasonable. clientele appeared to be both tourist and locals. I recommend having dinner here.

Very nice authentic dinner experience! The Wiener Schnitzel is delicious! I also love the Salzburge Nockerl (Soufflé), very tenderly and scrumptious! The resto is nicely decorated and feel cosy and relaxing! Booking is recommended!

Nice place with a good atmosphere. We arrived a little early and they kindly asked us to wait a few minutes while the table was being prepared, which was appreciated. Once we ordered, we were served a basket of bread and butter. At first this seemed like a nice complimentary gesture, but we later discovered on the bill that it was charged — €4.50 per person for one pot of butter and two pieces of bread. If something is meant to be an extra charge, it should be communicated before serving it. If you offer it without saying anything, it shouldn’t come as a surprise on the bill. It felt overpriced and disappointing. We ordered two schnitzels cooked in clarified butter — they were very good. For sides, we chose boiled potatoes and potato salad. The boiled potatoes were tasty, while the potato salad was quite vinegary and a bit particular. Also, the choice of side dishes is quite limited. The restaurant gets busy in the evening, so I recommend making a booking. I would recommend this place for the quality of the food, but be aware of the extra charge for the bread and butter (€4.50 per person).

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fun Concept and Warm Atmosphere, Food Could Be Better We stopped by for lunch and really enjoyed the concept – you can watch the schnitzel being prepared through the window, which is a fun touch. The atmosphere was cosy (though a bit touristy), and our waitress was very attentive, which made the experience pleasant. Honestly, we were just glad to be out of the cold! We started with the trio of local soups, which was very tasty and a great way to begin the meal. For mains, we had the schnitzel with all the sides. Unfortunately, both the schnitzel and the potato salad were a little bland and lacked flavour, which was disappointing given the otherwise appealing presentation. Overall, the setting and service made up for some of the shortcomings, but next time we’d probably try somewhere else instead.

With service as cold as an Austrian winter, Meissl is one to avoid if you are looking for a warm welcome; I would certainly not recommend! The food was fine, I had their signature schnitzel, and there was a great buzz. However, service is as important as the food and the staff left this reviewer with a 'sauerkraut' taste in the mouth!

Sit outside in central Vienna near the Philharmonic and Opera House for some delicious schnitzel and other austrian delicacies with wonderful service! We came for lunch, got seated right away, the food was delicious and wait staff was so nice and fast. Yes its pricier than others because of the central location but that comes with the territory of being downtown.

Tried the famous Michelin guide reviewed classic Austrian dish made by Meissen & Schadn Erin which was a restaurant connected to my hotel. Sadly the service was very horrible and the wait after seating/dining was so dreadful. Felt like they didn't even want to serve us because we didn't order as many items as other bigger parties. Had to flag down multiple staff to just let me pay and leave. The food was bland and this is a total tourist trap. Wouldn't recommend this place to travelers who are wishing to try to classic Viennese schnitzel. You can honestly get it at a local bar for 1/2 the price and better quality!

Tessa S.

Yelp

The food here is amazing. The Wiener schnitzel may look huge, but you will end up eating the whole thing because it is so delicious and light. The service was quick and the ambiance was beautiful. I also recommend getting the Salzburger Nockerln for dessert. It was to die for.

Mark A.

Yelp

Excellent place for schnitzel done the correct way. Michelin guide reviewed, I was more thank pleased with everything at Meissl. The service was fast and professional. The atmosphere was inviting and great for groups or just the solo traveler. And the location was right in the middle of everything. I opted for the traditional preparation with lard vice the clarified butter. Coming with potato salad and cranberries, both of which were also excellent, means you will want to finish the entire plate - I did. The great wine selection was also reasonably priced to take advantage of great Austrian wine. Veal schnitzel in Vienna. Done.

Great schnitzel and sides. We had the traditional schnitzel with parsley potatoes and cranberry sauce.

Hands down after trying 10+ schnitzel spots - this together with restaurant Wiener is the best schnitzel spot in Austria, better than hyped places like figlmüller or plachuta. We also tried sixta and other good online Rated spots The portion, size, quality and interior nailed it. It could be more crunchy outside but taste wise this is the best and worth a try! Skip the Tafelspitz. Get the schnitzel with marmelade and cucumber salad.

Very nice meal for lunch. Started with the goulash, great taste (but small). The chicken fell off the bone, and the spatzle was seasoned very well.

Amazing wiener schnitzel but the restaurant is quite expensive and upscale so be warned it won't be easy on the wallet! The house white wine they had was also fantastic

This place is beautiful and fun! The service is great and the food is amazing. We had their traditional schnitzel and potato salad- both were delicious. Loved the decor and the ambiance. Enjoyed watching the cooks prepare the dishes behind a glass window- it's like a dinner and a show.

Very much okay. We are visiting Vienna and were drawn in by the Michelin star and Trip Advisor reviews. We had a reservation, were shown a table right away. Classical music was playing throughout our visit. Received good wine recommendations, and my son ordered the bone marrow starter which he enjoyed alongside their delicious bread. I ordered the chicken paprikash for entree and he got the trout muniere. Both were very good. But then...had to flag down server for second glass of wine since food was brought by a runner. Had to flag down server to ask for dessert menu. Dessert was the Hungarian chocolate cake (below average). Had to flag down server for check. These "flagging downs" happened after patiently waiting long periods each time, 10 minutes plus. We had dinner at the restaurant next door the night before and received both great food AND great service - and their chocolate cake looked amazing!

Didn't get to try their food which looked great. Found this establishment to be racist against "tourists" I was a guest at the Hotel Grand Ferdinand which the restaurant was connected to. I stayed at the top floor below their rooftop bar in one of their nicest rooms, hence not being some rift raft. I had plans to dine at this establishment after checking out on Aug 1, 2022 at 2:00 pm before making my departure to Budapest. The restaurant at the time only had a few guests seated but when asking for a table the waitress notified me that they're entirely booked for lunch, at 2:00pm with so many tables available. She was rude at that too and snooty. I spare no expense on dining at new places. I love trying new places and always over order just so that I can try just a bit of everything. I didn't get to splurge here at all. I did find a couple of establishments in Vienna rude to tourists, it may be in their nature which I don't blame. We don't enjoy tourist back home either. The ones that are rude, disrespectful, and just being a nuisance. I'm not like one of those tourists at all.

Claire F.

Yelp

Worst food I've had in Vienna. Rude service and the food was basically inedible. Pasta was literally dripping in butter (see photo). They were out of half the menu even though it was only 8 PM including celery schnitzel. Cannot recommend this place in good conscience.

David V.

Yelp

Absolutely awful. The food was ok, but we made a reservation for 9:30 and showed up precisely at 9:30. We were told the kitchen would be closing soon. i asked our waiter if I could still dessert, specifically a strudel. He said "absolutely, we can always make a strudel." We were immediately ready to order and did. Then we were told by the manager that it was too late for our appetizers, so we could only get our entrees because kitchen was closing. I told him we would take everything at once and he begrudgingly agreed to let us. We pre-ordered 2 desserts to be accommodating and help the kitchen out. We got one and waited 20 minutes for the other (no one was around to ask). Finally, I hunted someone down to ask where our strudel was. He told me that the kitchen was closed and it was impossible to get the strudel our server told us he could always get. Even more amazingly, nobody bothered to come tell us this, as I had to go up and hunt someone down to find out. Did they take anything off our bill as a "sorry"? Of course not! Why make reservations for 9:30 if you have no intent or ability to properly serve people who come at that time? Truly an awful place who doesn't care about their customers.

It gets the job done. Typical "slightly higher end" tourist trap energy here. It's located on a lovely street with great ambiance but the staff ultimately knows you're just here to try Wiener schnitzel for the first time and they are not going to feel the need to elevate your experience any more than that. For Americans: imagine trying the Cheesecake Factory for the first time. It's very fun, new and cool options but you know this isn't fine dining and nor does the staff have any urgency for that same reason. Ultimately, I recommend you go here in a pinch to get the schnitzel out of your system and they'll serve you fries with it. Sit outside and just enjoy this place for what it is. It is not a fancy European restaurant, rather a facade that attempts to make breaded veal into high culture. But it's honestly not bad! It just has the same energy as eating chicken tenders and fries and that is okay! Enjoy Austria!

First time here and first time to try schnitzel. Schnitzel is tasty but potato salad is not. My cousin's salad tasted spoiled so we complained it. They gave her a new bowl of salad but it ruined her appetite already. Service of the firt guy who got our order is very poor. He's arrogant and no customer service skills. He needs to go for a training.

Victor N.

We wanted schnitzel. You can see through the window how these guys make it. Looked impressive. Beef soup was simple but good. Schnitzel - this is what I remember it should be (and veal!!). Wine - try Savinion Blanc. I was very pleased. You probably better making reservation if conning after 19:00.

Wonderful food, excellent service. Open air or enclosed dining. No kidding. Visible kitchen.

The schnitzel is phenomenal and the German potato salad is incredible as well! The staff was very kind and helpful, I would recommend this place to anyone looking for the best schnitzel and service in Vienna.

Steve B.

Yelp

OK, it's a little pricey and classy, but if you, want really good wiener schnitzel, this is definitely the place to go (and let's face it, you can get reasonable schnitzel all over Vienna). You can watch them pounding the schnitzel while you wait, but all that pounding definitely makes it as tender as it gets. I liked the salad, too (despite some negative comments among the reviews here) and our waiter was excellent and very funny - so much so that my wife asked him if he had another job as a comedian (apparently not!). And a good selection of wine, too.

Paul M.

Yelp

This is of course a Wiener schnitzel place. But that is like saying California is a surf place. Meissel & Schadn belong to the ranks of Viennese haute cuisine in every respect. From the artistic and eclectic modernist decor to the white linen table service and Michelin star level deserts it is a dining experience tour de force and holds its own amongst the best of the best in a fabulous city!

The restaurant has seating inside and outside. We had the bone marrow appetizer and the famous Weiner Schnitzel. The appetizer was delicious. For the Schnitzel, you can order it cooked in lard, butter, or vegetable oil. I chose the traditional way in lard. My husband chose butter. We ended up switching. I preferred the buttery taste. We had it with the potato salad. You cannot go wrong with German potato salad. We shared the apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. They divided it for us before bringing it out. The strudel was delicious as expected. What surprised me was how good the ice cream was. It was creamy and had the perfect amount of sweet. It was the best vanilla ice cream I have ever tasted. The only thing that surprised me was our bottle of wine was not kept on the table. Our waitress continued to refill it throughout our meal. I did see the bottle empty. Our table was very small & we already had a bottle of water on the table. Plus it was a white wine. There was no room for the bottle let alone an ice bucket. If you are staying in the city center then I recommend this restaurant if you want to have delicious Weiner schnitzel. Also, you can see the cooks working in the kitchen. That is always a mark of a good restaurant. My only complaint is that the tables were very close together. But that is just the way things go sometimes.
