A great restaurant in central Vienna but just off the tourist trail. It's full of locals, has friendly staff and great, moderately priced food. The wiener schnitzel (a choice of veal or pork) is excellent, the steaks succulent and the Austrian wine delicious and great value. With an emphasis on meat and local delicacies such as deep fried calf's brain, it's maybe not ideal for vegetarians or the faint-hearted. Get there before 9.30ish to beat the opera crowd and in fine weather you can eat outside.
