We stopped in for an early dinner and, despite not having a reservation (oops!), we were seated and given menus. The servers were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was laid back and felt authentic.  I wish I could capture with words how amazing the food was. I had pork cutlets with spätzel and it was easily one of the most delicious meals I have ever had. My husband and I spent 3 days in Vienna and this was our favorite meal.  Make a reservation and show up with an empty stomach. You will leave happy!!

This is what I call a traditional restaurant. It’s like you go back in time and it also makes you want to book tickets for a skiing weekend.
The food was amazing and the service was really fast. I would recommend the goulash (perfectly cooked).
The staff was friendly and attentive with all our requests. He also had great tips for the order.
It s better to make a reservation.

Highly enjoyed and recommend Puestner. The environment and setting is fantastic and authentic. I reserved a table on New Year’s Eve for one, and they gave me a great table. A reservation is a must!!! I ordered the ribs, the portion was large but they were a bit dry. However the sauce they came with was great. The Apple strudel was very good, with raisins inside and vanilla ice cream on the side. I would recommend and come back here next time.

I had an amazing schnitzel at Puerstener in Vienna! It was incredibly delicious and light on the stomach, unlike some of the heavier ones I’ve had. The service was outstanding, with friendly and attentive staff, particularly the Albanian and Bosnian team members who clearly enjoy their work. Honestly, this place is better than many of the famous spots in Vienna. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-notch schnitzel experience!

We visited this restaurant as we were looking for a traditional restaurant to eat and taste authentic cuisine and we wouldn’t have made a better choice. We didn’t have a reservation but they were very polite and managed to find us a table. Are waiter was one of the most polite and with great humour waiters in Vienna and that means a lot when most waiters in vienna are unfriendly and not even smiling at you. We had Viennese soup as appetiser and what else…original schnitzel and cordon blue as main courses. Portions were really good and all the dishes really tasty. Prices are really good. We really enjoyed this place and seriously considering going back again for the time we are here.
