If there’s one place to have Wiener Schnitzel in Vienna, it’s at Figlmüller’s!

Located on the tiny road of Wollzeile behind the Stephansplatz, the Figlmüller restaurant is famous for its gigantic wiener schnitzels that are so big, they crest over top of the already sizable plates. Breaded and fried according to an age-old recipe, they have been making and serving Wiener Schnitzel at Figlmüller’s for over 100 years.

The family-owned restaurant, now run by the fourth generation brothers Hans and Thomas,  has been serving the famous deep fried breaded dish since the turn of the 20th century. In fact, the restaurant is so popular & overrun during the popular dinner hours, they’ve opened a second location just around the corner to accommodate the demand.

When you go, be sure to make a reservation far in advance or prepare for a very long wait as both locations are generally packed with tourists. Its worth the effort though as the food certainly lives up to its reputation.

Although they offer a small selection of other Viennese mains, be sure to to order the house speciality - Wiener Schnitzel with the potato-field salad - and you won’t be disappointed!

Again – reservations are a must or prepare to wait in long queues.
