Huge portions, tasty traditional food! - Edit
We had a starter from the specials menu which was all asparagus based, had deep fried asparagus with a lovely garlic aoili. Tried the schnitzel with potato salad and the onion bake with roast potato. All delicious, good price and friendly staff. We did reserve a table but there were still a few tables free by 6/7pm on a weeknight

Great Viennese food made vegan - Edit
We loved everything we had: the schnitzel is huge, as the Viennese ones traditionally are, and seemed homemade. The onion roast was delicious, and the filet mignon successfully mimics a steak and serves it well

Wow - Edit
Great service, delicious food, and great drinks! Has a great selection of traditional Austrian dishes that are made vegan. I had to get the filet mignon which was incredible, veggies were fresh, red wine glaze was delicious, and the “steak” unbelievable.
Read morePros: Great food and drinks, Nice service
Cons: Pricey (but worth it), Outside of the city center, but right by metro

Best vegan restaurant in Vienna - Edit
If you‘re visiting Vienna and can only go to one Restaurant, is has to be Velani. We‘ve been here almost every weekend for the past month, tasted nearly every item on the menu and were not disappointed even once. We also brought some omni-friends who were amazed as well. This is THE place to go in Vienna.

Traditional Austrian food - but vegan! - Edit
Great food and nice place! I would very much recommend this place if you like me want to try Austrian food but are vegan! We took the goulash and the onion roast - both of them very tasty! The price is also reasonable and the dishes are well served

A cozy restaurant with a friendly team and a selection of seasonally changing dishes. We had the Viennese juice goulash and nougat dumplings and Sacher torte for dessert. It tasted excellent and can definitely be recommended.

Authentically Austrian - but make it vegan - Edit
Velani has successfully brought a variety of Austrian Food into the vegan spectrum. And tastewise, there's nothing to complain about. Tastes just like I remember the "originals". The portion sizes aren't too big or too small, they're just right.
Read moreHowever, 1 star deducted as it's quite pricey. So be aware of that when you make a reservation (really recommend doing that beforehand).
velani1120
Thank you for your good review! We are glad you enjoyed our food and its taste so much. It's also good to read that you were happy with the portion sizes.
Read moreUnfortunately, for economic reasons we cannot offer our meals at a lower price, as many of our costs rise sharply every year (e.g. personnel costs, energy, ...). Anyway, we hope to welcome you again one day in Velani.

Veganized Viennese classics - Edit
Really appreciated the opportunity to try some Viennese staples, but veganized! I do wish there had been a bit more "meat" to the schnitzel (which was largely just very well cooked breading) but it was still tasty and my husband really enjoyed his Kummelbräten with potato dumplings and sauerkraut. I didn't particularly love the sauce with that dish, but I think that is more of a personal taste issue as it seemed to follow the traditional recipe.
Read moreThe cheese dumpling soup as an appetizer and the potato salad side to my schnitzel were definitely highlights for me, and I was happy to get a chance to try the Sacher torte for dessert! Very friendly staff and big portions.

Good vegan food - Edit
We were excited to finally have traditional Austrian dishes again but in vegan, however our experience was a bit of a mixed bag.... The Cordon Bleu lacked strong flavor and felt somewhat underwhelming, which was disappointing. I honestly expected more for 23€/portion! On the other hand, the Zwiebelrostbraten was a real highlight! The salad was great as well! Overall, it was a decent experience 👍🏼

Wonderful! - Edit
Lots of traditional Austrian dishes on the menu and it was hard to choose, but I was really happy with what I got: the cheese dumpling soup was so good I wish I could eat it every day, and the schnitzel was HUGE, served with yummy potato salad and cranberry sauce.
Read moreFor dessert I had the sachertorte which was a tad dry, but otherwise good.
Service was very friendly and attentive.
The location is a bit off-center, but don't let that stop you - it's very close to a U station so it only takes about 15-20 minutes to get there from the city center.

Big portions, great flavors - Edit
We had lunch here after visiting the Schönbrunn palace. I think we were lucky to have a table with no previous reservation as the restaurant was pretty full and with high table rotation. The staff is very nice.
Read moreTo warm up a bit we ordered a carrot and ginger soup, which was delicious with flavorful toppings. Main courses were the biggest schnitzel I have ever seen, with potato salad, and Viennese juicy goulash with spätzle, a plate we hadn't tried yet.
We saw they have sachertorte and didn't resist. It was very very good.
I recommend this place for sure.

Thank you very much for your kind review and positive feedback! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn. In our restaurant, schnitzel is traditionally served with potato salad – a classic pairing that’s very popular in Austria. We understand that the presentation might seem unusual to some, but we focus on authentic, down-to-earth cuisine. We’re also glad to hear our team made a good impression! We look forward to welcoming you back soon – maybe this time with a photo before the first bite! 😄
