Where to eat in Vienna: iconic venues and prices

Vienna's must-visit restaurants and cafes if you want to experience the local gastronomy.

If you're planning to visit the best restaurants in Vienna, you should book a table at Bastei Beisl or Augustinerkeller, located in the Old Town. Be sure to try the Viennese goulash and schnitzel here.

You might be interested in restaurants in Vienna such as Steirereck, Lindenkeller, Figlmüller, Plachutta (where people come to try the crowning dish of tafelspitz), as well as Zum Schwarzen Kameel, Der Kuckuck and Österreicher im MAK - all famous for their Austrian national dishes. A cozy atmosphere and hospitality are guaranteed.

Central Cafe in Vienna

For those who miss the Slavic menu, we recommend Feuervogele, Rasputin or Wladimir. Besides them, there are also places offering Chinese (China-Restaurant Sichuan), Italian (Margareta), Indian (Indian Restaurant Demi Tass), American (Frank's American Bar & Restaurant), Brazilian (Churrascaria) and other cuisines.

Average prices in Vienna restaurants for a main course - from 15 EUR. As you can see from the reviews, visiting inexpensive restaurants in Vienna, for lunch for 1 person will have to lay out 25-30 EUR. In the establishments of higher class a decent lunch (without wine) will cost 50-60 EUR. Please note that you can get discounts at a number of local restaurants with the Wien-Karte tourist card (aka Vienna Card).

There are a huge number of cafes (coffee houses) in the city. The best cafes in Vienna are Sacher, Demel Cafe, Sperl, Hawelka and Café Imperial in the hotel of the same name. Admittedly, the prices are steep: you'll have to pay at least 15 EUR for a piece of cake and a cup of coffee.

But apart from the legendary establishments, there are more democratic cafes in Vienna, where prices for Vienna-style meat are 5-6 EUR and a pastry costs 2-3 EUR. If you have to save money on food, opt for Vienna's sausage shops and Nordsee restaurants.
