Everybody knows the Prater and its Riesenrad, but fewer people know the extraordinary restaurant Schweitzerhaus. It is famous for its enormous assortment of draft beer and its delicious "Stelze". Moreover, its not only worth a visit because of the dishes, but also because of the unique atmosphere of the restaurant's garden, which surrounds the visitors.
Indeed, an oasis in the big metropole.
In the Prater, near to the oldest "Hochschaubahn".

The Schweitzerhaus is also memorable for having perhaps the rudest waiting staff I have ever experienced (which is saying something in Vienna), although this is actually part of its charm.
Is this your business?
A Stelze, in case it isn't clear, is a roast knuckle of pork with lots of lovely crackling. It's served and charged by weight, and unless you're really a serious eater, a knuckle is best shared between two. Comes with Krenn, an eyewatering grated horseradish.
