Zum alten Fassl

This is our first experience in an Austrian traditional food restaurant Zum Alten Fassl was amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by very genuine man (waiter) with great English language. Even we do not have any reservation they allowed us to dine and mention that the outdoor garden is reserved, so the only option is to dine inside which is comfortable and we are totally fine with. The food we ordered was fantastic, showcasing authentic local flavors that made our experience even more special. Each dish was a delightful representation of Austrian taste and culinary heritage, and we are very happy with our choice of food. What truly stood out, however, was the outstanding service provided by the staff. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, enhancing our overall dining experience. Me and my family is very international family, as we are mixed of Maldivian, Chinese and Latvian, and this trip me and my wife travel to Vienna to visit our daughter. We chose this lovely restaurant because it was suggested by our daughter. The best part of our experience was the staff speak fluent English, and it was easy, even we have German speaking with in us. If you're looking for traditional Austrian cuisine I highly recommend Zum Alten Fassl. and i will comeback to explore more options when I return to Vienna.

Great pub with a great atmosphere.. since we first visited it, we don't go anywhere else when we are in Vienna. We even leave Vienna on a later train to have dinner here (unfortunately the opening hours are only from 5 pm). The food is always perfect, selection also for vegetarians, nice staff.

Great food, but lacking in atmosphere We came to Fassl really looking forward to trying a traditional schnitzel — and the food definitely didn’t disappoint! Everything was well-prepared and delicious. However, the overall atmosphere was a bit underwhelming. The service felt rushed and not very genuine, which made us feel more like we were being processed than welcomed. It’s a shame, because the quality of the food deserves a warmer, more authentic experience.

If you’re smart, you will dine here while you’re in Vienna. If you are lucky, your waiter will be Max. So nice, I came back twice. Excellent food, excellent service. Trust the recommendations of your waiter. Be by sure to make a reservation so you can dine in the garden.

Always a great atmosphere at Zum Alten Fassl. Busy but in a good way - feels alive and warm, not stressful. The place has this classic Viennese vibe that’s hard to find. The menu is full of traditional dishes and everything we tried was honestly delicious. You can feel they care about quality. It’s the kind of place where you enjoy both the food and the feeling of just being there.
