The best taverns in the 2nd district in Vienna
Old Viennese recipes meet creative new interpretations. Everything is homemade, everything is quality, and the "Stuwer-Schmarrn" crowns every menu with sweet Viennese soul. Beisl feeling with a coolness factor!
All of Austria on one plate: hearty goulash, Bauern-Gröstl or an excellent, creamy Beuschel - followed perhaps by apricot dumplings or pancakes. All in all, always a good idea.
Traunsee char, boiled beef from the Waldviertel and mushrooms from the Prater: the fact that the menu lists the origin of the produce makes Thomas Edlinger's restaurant even more appealing. And it's delicious anyway.
Don't be fooled by the inconspicuous exterior, because inside you'll find a rustic atmosphere and wonderfully down-to-earth cuisine - and not just the exemplary Wiener Schnitzel.
A paradise for meat eaters and beer drinkers. The home-cured steaks and house sausages are great, and the in-house Leberkäse is simply cult. As is the velvety Budweiser drawn from the tank.
Timeless tavern dishes from Fiakergulasch to Rindsbackerln are just one of the mainstays of the kitchen (because it also knows how to showcase seasonal dishes!) - and go perfectly with nine draught beers.
Outlet of the legendary city centre café-restaurant in the middle of Praterstern. The focus is on the tried-and-tested cuisine and drinks selection. Simple ambience and a nice green garden.
The Luftburg in the Prater is the sister restaurant of the Kolarik family's famous Schweizerhaus. And it is the largest fully certified organic restaurant in the world - with stilton and lots of beer.
Traditional inn with an equally traditional menu. New, however, are gluten-free dishes and gluten-free beer. Speaking of beer: Augustiner is one of the beers on tap here. Tip: Parisian Schnitzel "Nestroy".
A wonderfully pretty pub with an equally retro bar, where down-to-earth cuisine is presented in a modern and vegetable-heavy way, for example as pointed cabbage with harissa. Blunze with kohlrabi kimchi is also available.
A restaurant that has long enjoyed cult status in Vienna's Prater and is almost an iconic sight. The "Einsermenü" of pork knuckle and beer is a must and should be on every bucket list.
Whether ham sandwich with horseradish for those in a hurry, beetroot salad for connoisseurs or boiled beef for gourmets - this is where Austria's culinary favorites meet on one menu. Simple and simply good.
A gem of a pub and an ideal place for passionate nostalgics and friends of unadulterated pub culture. The beef goulash is legendary and the atmosphere is a mixture of old pub and museum.
The four-language menu shows that this friendly pub is popular. The down-to-earth home cooking is varied: spaetzle and cordon bleu are available in different variations.
The interior contributes to the relaxed atmosphere, but the pub also owes its popularity to its down-to-earth cuisine: beef goulash, roast pork and co. just like grandma used to make!
Newly renovated restaurant where old meets modern. Wide range of dishes from tarte flambée to Wiener schnitzel, some burger variations to spare ribs and Nutella pancakes. Good beer selection.
What was once known as Bunkerei in Augarten has been Die Schankwirtschaft for several years now. It is run by Valerie Gottschlich-Bitzinger and Josef Philipp Bitzinger. The gastronomic focus is primarily on regional produce.
A restaurant like back then: Moravian cabbage soup steams in the bowl to start, followed by a choice of classic (grammel dumplings!) or home-made ravioli - creatively filled.
Popular traditional inn with rustic furnishings. The ambition here is not necessarily to aim high, but rather to offer a solid range of dishes. Viennese home cooking and strong beer.
