Delicious - Edit
We were really blown away by the (in our opinion) amazingly authentic Wienerschnitzel. Our sides included potatos and salad and we had Kaiserschmarrn as dessert, absolutely delicious. The location is a bit further away from the city center but it's fairly close to Schloss Schönbrunn, a couple of metro stations ahead of it I believe.

Excellent food - Edit
We stopped by for dessert only and were lucky we got a table - at 2.30pm! Love to see a vegan restaurant be this busy. They were super nice and we had classic Sachertorte and nougat dumplings - delicious.
Read moreEdit: Went again another night for dinner - we had the "Zwiebelrostbraten" and "Gulasch", which were both fantastic!!

Austrian Vegan Food - Edit
I’ve never had Austrian food before because it’s very meat centric. This place has all the classics but veganized! I had the dumplings stuffed with “greave” or something like that it was awesome. We hade the black pudding appetizer and it was 10/10. I wish we had ordered more potato salad as a side. Be sure to check this place out. Close to the Renaissance Hotel.

typical Austrian food but vegan! - Edit
Absolutely love this place! Super tasty food, great service, good atmosphere. From "Frittatensuppe" (vegetable broth with pancake strips) to Wiener Schnitzel, they offer all the classics. It's really nice to be able to enjoy these meals again after becoming a vegan. Brings back a lot of good memories!

Great - Edit
This restaurant offers traditional Austrian food in a vegan version and I’m absolutely in love with it. It has a nice and modern design (not like a traditional Austrian restaurant!) with relatively many seats. You should book a table in advance though, it might be crowded. This works really simple, just visit their website.
Read moreThe food they serve looks really awesome, but they have rather small portions that are relatively expensive. It tastes good, especially the desserts, but it doesn’t taste amazing.
If I’d only rate the food itself, the restaurant would probably get 3 or 4 stars, but sine the staff was absolutely amazing and I like the idea of this restaurant, I obviously had to give it a 5/5.
So you should definitely visit this place if you want to go to an all vegan restaurant with beautiful food, but if you’re searching for awesome taste or if you’re really hungry and don’t want to waste a fortune for rather small amounts of food, maybe you should search another place to eat.
Pros: All vegan, Really friendly staff , Dishes look amazing
Cons: Rather small portions , Expensive , Not the tastiest dishes

Thank you very much for the extensive review. We always try to offer a reasonable price-performance ratio and many products are handmade, like our famous Schnitzel.

Traditionelles Essen aber alles Vegan! - Edit
Wir waren ein Wochenende in Wien und wollten gerne traditionelles Wiener/ österreichisches Essen probieren. Als Veganer ist das aber recht schwer… aber hier haben wir traditionelles Essen komplett Vegan bekommen. Wir hatten den Saftgulasch, das Pfeffersteak und die Sachertorte mit Schlagoberst. Alles ein Genuss! Wenn wir mal wieder in Wien sind kommen wir definitiv wieder!

Deftige Traditionsküche - Edit
Sympathischer Inhaber, schneller und aufmerksamer Service und leckeres deftiges Essen, regelmäßig wechselnde Saisonkarte.
Read moreVorspeisen waren gut - hatten jeweils eine Brühe mit Einlage. Die Grießnockerl und Brühe waren sehr würzig. Die Frittaten waren gut, leider die Brühe etwas lasch und nicht richtig heiß.
Das Schnitzel war Weltklasse. Diese werden auch selbst hergestellt, nicht zugekauft und wurde super ausgebacken. Erdäpfelsalat war auch top.
Die Grammelknödel mit Sauerkraut waren auch sehr schmackhaft - nächste mal gern einen Knödel mehr und dafür weniger Sauerkraut.
velani1120
Vielen Dank für das ausführliche Review! Wir freuen uns, dass unsere Speisen geschmeckt haben. Auf unser hausgemachtes Schnitzel sind wir besonders stolz. Gerne beim nächsten Mal gleich im Lokal anmerken, wenn die Suppe nicht heiß genug ist, dann können wir das Problem sofort beheben.

I was excited, but then rather disappointed. Lovely staff, though - Edit
I was so excited to have a choice of so many typical Austrian dishes. It’s a nice atmosphere, the staff are lovely and it’s a cut above the usual fast food cafes. However, the main problem is the faux meat. The seitan (I assume that’s what it is) has the bitter back taste that I’ve had to work to lose from my homemade steaks etc. the texture is also too spongy, as though the dough hasn’t been sufficiently kneaded. This was the case in the (very salty) gulasch, and in the caraway roast. The schnitzel looks the part, but doesn’t really deliver on taste and juiciness. I soooo wanted to love it, as I liked the people a lot and admire what they’re aiming for. It’s quite easy these days to find great texture and taste in faux meat (Veggieez, for example, has really nailed it). I do hope they continue what they’re doing and maybe a bit of constructive criticism won’t be taken amiss.

Pros: Lots of Austrian specialities to choose from, Lovely staff, Good wine list
Cons: Faux meat is disappointing, Flavours not as expected
velani1120
Dear Tastetesters, sorry, that we were not able to match your faux meat taste. We offer different products like seitan, soy and combined products. However, especially seitan is a natural product that is not always available in the same quality.

always a delight - Edit
I must say that we can highly recommend this restaurant. Not only do the have the nicest and most courteous waiters but the food is just always (we have been there twice now) very good. I fell in love with the baked cheese. We also had the seasonal pumpkin special and nougat dumplings. I am getting hungry again just thinking about them. Highly recommended.

War ok - Edit
Waren ehrlich gesagt etwas enttäuscht. Schnitzel hat garnicht nach Schnitzel geschmeckt, das spätzle war mit Vollkorn oder Dinkelmehl denk ich und demnach auch nicht so lecker und der Kümmelbraten hat geschmeckt und ausgesehen wie Schwarzbrot.. Gulasch war dafür sehr lecker mit Knödel!
Read moreAußerdem lange Wartezeit beim Essen ä, aber es waren alle Tisch voll und wir waren zu 6.
Reservierung online top.

Cons: Teuer
