Zum alten Fassl

The best restaurant where I have eaten during my 4-days trip in Vienna! The dear was super soft, the food was great (I was sad not to have enough space to try their desserts). The waiter was extremely kind and he also spoke English, which we particularly appreciated! 🥰 Super recommended! ✨

This was the best meal I’ve had while in Vienna! The atmosphere was lovely, very good for a date night setting. The food was phenomenal, we tried the tafelspitz, roasted boar and fall strudel. They were all amazing and we would definitely come back again!

Very old and traditional vibe inside, no A/C so it is so hot inside. Even though it was a late dinner time, this restaurant was already packed. We were able to sit even though we didn't make a reservation, but the staff informed us that we have to wait for one hour to be served. We got a little bit annoyed because it literally took more than 1 hour after ordering menu, but after we had one bite of each main menu, we said "wow" ! So good! We didn't like the salad (2-3/5), the main menu were so good! Highly recommend!! Staff were nice too! My husband ordered wine, and he didn't like it.

Great place to enjoy wiener Schnitzel. The portion is moderately sized so it will be ideal for 1 person (22€ per schnitzel). The Interior is very unique with old wooden furniture and old vibe to it. We visited however when it was super hot outside so we enjoyed a meal in the garden, which was very lovely.

Lovely place, busy restaurant on a quiet street. Food is amazing with large portions, perfectly paired with beer🍺 The schnitzel was huge, super delicious and moist👍🏻 Probably the best schnitzel I have ever tried. Beer was fresh and fruity, very good. Staff were all very friendly, sharing the trivia on Falco🎤 Garden was very busy in hot summer, but still nice to sit indoor :)

Atmosphere- it’s intimate / cozy but we were there in August and it was brutally hot and uncomfortable, no AC Service - very absent minded, inattentive, forgetful. Brought the wrong size beer once and then never even got the second one we ordered. Food- incredible!!! One of the best meals we had on the trip. I would say it’s worth the other things to be able to try the food.

Outstanding! First time at an authentic Austrian restaurant and I adored it. The sheep cheese as an appetizer was marvelous. I had the Fassl Pfandl (hopefully I’m spelling that right) and it was amazing too! Highly recommend to anyone for their first time visiting the city looking for a taste of local cuisine!

The restaurant has poor circulation so it is a bit stuffy, especially if you sit near the kitchen. However, it was the best meal of the whole trip. We had beet root salad, chicken strips, and beef (see pictures). Service was friendly albeit a bit slow. Still, highly recommend that you make reservation beforehand so you can secure a table. I would go back to this place.

10/10 recommend. Absolutely incredible food for really decent prices! This was my first time eating Viennese schnitzel and wow. Mind blown. Impeccable service. Super cozy! Also just seemed super authentic.

Very good food, ambiance and service in an authentic local restaurant. I reccomend it. AJLii

We had the most lovely dinner at Zum Allen Fassl. This warm bistro is tucked in a neighborhood and was the perfect spot for us to dine with Vienna locals. Our waiter made great menu suggestions when we asked, and there were plenty of staff supporting a really well run dinner service. We dined mid-week, and thankfully we made reservations and if seems like we got the last table because the restaurant was completely full. The food was hearty and delicious, especially their signature tar tar starter. Wow! Strongly recommended.

PURCHASED: Original Viennese veal schnitzel with potato and lamb's lettuce Price: €18.50 PROS: - Excellent service: Europeans like a true dining experience (i.e., conversations at length and food to come out in the right order). I wanted to try this restaurant before having to attend an online meeting and therefore had to rush dinner. When the server got the word, all of our food was immediately brought out. I was even able to pay very quickly so that we could finish our meal and leave immediately to catch my meeting. I very much appreciated this. - Far from tourists: The food was original and high-quality (per my Viennese friend) AND it was far from any street that would spawn tourists like me. - Classic interior: The interior was very 18th century-like which helps with the Viennese ambience. (To the owners of this restaurant: you are doing an excellent job!) CONS: - None IMPRESSION: I came for dinner with my Viennese friend. Far from the city center, this schnitzel-serving restaurant is an unassumingly authentic Viennese spot. Food 10/10, service 10/10 and perfect for any tourist who doesn't wish to be a tourist. Tschüss!

When I first return to Vienna, I always have a couple of Viennese meals to celebrate being back in The Imperial City. One of the best places for me to go is a local Beisl (think Viennese bistro) just a few minutes walk from where I live. That Beisl is 'Zum Alten Fassl" and it is simply one of the finest and most popular Beisls in all of Vienna. Not only is it successful because of its tasty Viennese cuisine (Wienerküche) but also because it is so friendly to residents and regulars as well as being engaging to visitors and people outside the neighborhood. Every restaurant in Vienna offers up various pumpkin dishes in October and Zum Alten Fassl is no exception. I recently enjoyed a delicious Kürbis-Erdäpfel Strudel (pumpkin & potato strudel) in a cream dill sauce. And for dessert I ordered a favorite Topfenknödel (soft cheese dumpling) in a fruit sauce. A Schwechater Zwickl beer was the perfect accompaniment. That my friends is indeed a tasty meal in my still-going-strong friendly local Beisl "Zum Alten Fassl!"

CASH ONLY. Outstanding Viennese food. My bnb host recommended it as a place locals would go for Austrian food. I showed up solo on a cold November Monday night, and believe it or not they were fully booked. But they offered me a table if I could be finished within an hour, which I could. I ordered a dish called "Fasslpfandl," a chicken breast stuffed with ham and cheese and served atop dumplingy-noodley things in a creamy sauce with some veggies. OMG it was divine. Also enjoyed a 1/4 liter of the house wine. The service was efficient; neither friendly nor brusque. The space feels like old Austria without being kitsch. Overall excellent, and I will return.

This hotel was recommended by our hotel concierge as having traditional Austrian fare for a good price. The decor was not fancy, but it was comfortable and warmly inviting. I opted for the Vienna specialty of Tafelspitz, a boiled-beef dish in broth. I was pleasantly surprised at how great it tasted, considering that boiling meat doesn't seem like a sure-fire path to a successful meal. Service was attentive and exceptionally friendly. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're within a few blocks.

I had dinner recently at Zum Alten Fassl. I was searching for a restaurant that served game meats, and Zum Alten Fassl had several game dishes on the menu. The host and server were very friendly. I started with a very tasty pumpkin soup, followed by bacon-wrapped venison medallions, served with potato croquettes and brussels sprouts with other vegetables. The vegetables were pretty good (I usually hate brussels sprouts, but I liked theirs). The small portions of venison, though, seemed overcooked -- very tough and too dry, as was the bacon (very salty, dry, not very smokey). Given my limited experience with Austrian food, I can't say whether the venison was cooked perfectly according to tradition and I don't like that style of cooking or, alternatively, the cook just overcooked the meat. The other diners in the restaurant, which was moderately busy, seemed to be enjoying their meals. I'd return to try more dishes if I were spending an extended period in Vienna. But I wouldn't go back if I were just visiting for a short trip.

I guess your mileage may vary with this place. It seems that people who mostly eat home style cooking really love it. One can also see that based on the average kind of customer (above 40, frequently overweight). And maybe it really is high quality for that type of cuisine. I can't really tell because for me, it's all a bit bland. Fried this, fried that. No lighter options. Vegetarian things are heavy on e.g. fatty cheese. Or e.g. fried rucola. Really? Fried salad? To me, it's alright for what it is. Meat is certainly tender and even though everything is pretty hearty, at least stuff is not swimming in fat and it's not overly salty either.

Best dining experience in Vienna! The food was amazing. Everything I had was cooked and prepared perfectly. the dished were presented beautifully. I had deer carpaccio for appetizer and deer roast for main course. Even how the vegetables were cooked made them taste amazing. The whole staff was very friendly and attentive. The environment was very cozy and homey. The walls are covered with old posters. All the rooms were candlelit which created a warm ambiance. From beginning to end it was a breathtaking experience.

I have eaten here twice so far! New to the neighborhood, I was looking for a quaint out of the way place to eat, and I found it here! Both times we have had good service and amazing Austrian cuisine. The decor is very rustic and homey. Falco actually lived in this building and probally ate here, so if your looking for a great spot out of the way... make a reservation!

Did not like the atmosphere nor the service. The food was average.The waitress did not have the patience to explain the menu. The inside of the restaurant was extremely dimly lit - not in a romantic way, but a dingy place sort of a way! Not recommended.

Delicious way to start our visit to Vienna. Cosy atmosphere, great local cuisine, lovely service. We had our baby with us and they arranged some milk for him. Wish we had a chance to go back.
