Buffet Trzesniewski Dorotheergasse

What a fun and novel way to try out local sandwiches, each one is a two biter for me. It’s that small. We tried pickles with eggs, tuna with eggs, bacon with eggs and few other ones I don’t remember. You go up the counter and as soon as they can tell you are a tourist they hand us a photo menu and we pointed to what we wanted, then wait in line to pay. We ended up standing outside table to eat. Fun!!

Quality ingredients used for their sandwiches, albeit a little expensive. Space inside is also a little tight, but they do have space overhead for you to place your bags and hang your coats/jackets. Great place for a snack!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A Quirky, Delicious Surprise in the Heart of Vienna Buffet Trześniewski on Dorotheergasse turned out to be one of the best surprises of my recent Vienna trip. I was traveling with a group of German friends, hopping between cafés and soaking in the city’s charm, when we made this unplanned stop — and I’m so glad we did. ⸻ Food & Drinks: This spot is all about small bites — open-faced sandwiches with a variety of unique spreads, toppings, and textures. I was encouraged to try a few, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and totally different from the next. It’s the kind of food that’s fun to sample, easy to share, and keeps you coming back for just one more. Then there are the tiny beers — yes, the famously small “Pfiff” glasses of beer. Not only are they refreshing, but they add a fun and quirky twist to the whole experience. We ended up ordering a few rounds just because they’re so entertaining. ⸻ Atmosphere: The location on Dorotheergasse is perfect for people-watching and taking a break from sightseeing. The street seating adds a relaxed charm, and the vibe inside is old-school Viennese casual — no frills, just good food and a fun time. Even though the visit was spontaneous, it ended up being one of the highlights of the day. ⸻ Final Thoughts: Buffet Trześniewski is one of those classic Vienna gems that you might walk past if you’re not paying attention — but don’t. Whether you’re with friends, solo, or just need a break between museums and monuments, this place is a must-try. Grab a plate of mini sandwiches, a tiny beer, and enjoy the quirky charm. Easily one of the best stops I made all day.

Trzesniewski is a must-try Vienna institution. They serve a wide variety of finger sandwiches, from meat and fish to vegetarian options. Great for a quick bite or light lunch. There are a few tables available. Fast service. Friendly staff.

This spot is a gem—packed with locals and a perfect way to dive into authentic Austrian food culture. My partner and I stopped by for a light lunch while exploring, and it delivered. We tried: (in order of preference) Black Truffle, Egg, and Ham – Rich and savory, with the truffle adding a nice twist. Onion-Pickled Herring – Tangy and bold, a standout for fish lovers. Smoked Salmon with Cream Cheese and Horseradish – Creamy and zesty, a classic done well. Beef with Horseradish and Pickles – Hearty and flavorful, with a good crunch from the pickles. Tip: The bread is cold and untoasted—firm but pairs great with the interesting, flavorful toppings. It’s a unique, light lunch option while strolling around! This place feels like a local favorite and a solid pick for tourists. The unique flavors made it an overall great experience—I’d stop by again.
