Mo-Fr 10am-7pm, Sa 10am-5pm
A business run by women where you are allowed to watch the female cooks while they are working. At the front there is a store where you can buy cookery books, at the back there is a chamber where cooking courses are being given. You dine while standing at the bar, there are no tables. The cooking courses teach you about the international kitchen (about  € 100) and there is a course that teaches you how to make a champagne menu (€ 135). But you can also just come in and have dinner. ‘Our motto is to enjoy’ the two owners say. €€

Hunting for Wienerschnitzel
Wienerschnitzel, but also beef courses (Tafelspitz, Hüferscherzel, etc., with a total of 24 varieties) reflect the traditional Viennese kitchen. Joseph Roth sang the praise of the ‘domestic kitchen’ in his novel Radetzkymars. But the Viennese kitchen slowly has to compete with new kitchen styles, even though it is a common fact that almost half of the tourists come to Vienna for the schnitzel & co. Nowadays, in a time of gastronomical uniformity, the traditional specialties are very wanted but hard to find. But some of the Beisl (the term comes from the Jiddish and means ‘small house’) hold to the tradition, in the kitchen as well as the interior (oaken parquet, tables with a whitegreen table cloth, brown wainscoting).

Though everywhere, the kitchen with the good meat courses reaches a higher level than before. We don’t eat the Blunzengröstel (slices of blood sausage) as uncooked as Joseph Roth and Franz Joseph used to eat them. Whoever visits those kind of places, can eat dinner there like the old Viennese. It is definitely an excitatory experience. €–€€€
