People rave about Plachutta as having the best traditional Viennese cuisine. The chef is famous and I don't have a clue why. It doesn't hold a candle to Figlmüller.
Oh the tapfelspitz at Figlmuller is pure heaven when you get a piece of beef, pile a little potato on it and then smear it with the horseradish and applesauce - it's the perfect bite! But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me wipe the drool off :-)
Firstly there is the old, rustic and charming Figlmuller in the little alleyway near Stephansdom and that's the one to go to. The modern version around corner serves the same high caliber food, but the atmosphere is not so gumutlich (cozy). We got friendly, outstanding service and I forgot to mention, the potato salad here will haunt your taste buds for days to come.
No reservations are needed and lunch time is a fun time to go when it's loud and brimming with the locals. The dinner crowd consists of mainly tourists.
They don't serve colas, or tees, or cafes, just beer and wine. And their claim to fame is that they have the largest schnitzel in the world and which woman doesn't LOVE a LARGE schnitzel :-) Size does matter.
Guten appetite!
Smiles,
Ruchika
