Zum alten Fassl

If you’re looking for an authentic Viennese experience, Zum Alten Fassl in the 5th district is a must-visit. Tucked away in a quiet street, this traditional Gasthaus serves one of the best original Wiener Schnitzels I’ve ever had, perfectly golden, crispy, and made from veal, just as it should be. The rustic interior and charming courtyard instantly transport you to a different time. It’s no surprise this place was a favorite of Falco, the legendary Austrian pop star. You can feel a bit of history in the air, especially knowing that one of Vienna’s icons used to dine here. The service is warm and relaxed, and the menu sticks to genuine Viennese classics, no frills, just quality. Prices are fair for the quality and setting. Highly recommended if you’re in Vienna and want to eat like a local ,or like Falco.

Wonderful restaurant with great service, ambience, and delicious food! The menu offered a good variety of options and everything we ordered was so tasty. If you’re looking for a good dinner spot with traditional Viennese cuisine, this is the place to go.

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.

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.
