Gasthaus “Am Spittelberg”

This small restaurant is located on a quiet street in the Museumquartier — there is the upscale Kissmaul across the street as well as a vegetarian place next to it.
Seating is both inside the restaurant and outside — the outdoor seating comfortable and well-​spaced with an ingenious umbrella system should the weather turn patchy.
The menu is traditional Austrian and the preparation is excellent — Over the span of two visits we had the schnitzel (a table stakes entrée in Vienna), as well as the Tafelspitz, the Goulash, and the seasonal Pumpkin soup. I give it four of five simply due to wishing a bit more creativity with the menu, but that almost seems unfair. This is a great Viennese place.
All were excellently prepared and tasty — the portions were just right, balancing the quality ingredients with the presentation.
Our server was courteous and efficient and the maître d’ pleasant and helpful.
For Americans dining in this part of the world, it’s important to recognize that certain things we ascribe to poor service are culturally normal in Vienna — in general, seat yourself at most casual places; you may stand there for some time until a server comes out. Second, revel in the fact that the restaurant will not try and rush you along — you’ll need to ask for your check ‘die rechnung bitte’. We loved the easy pace and the chance to enjoy our meal.
I recommend Gasthaus am Spittlelberg with reservation — it’s excellent.

Typical austrian food is served in this nice restaurant. In summer you can envoy a wide terrasse, whereas inside there is a strange tree up to the celling (genuine or fake one?). We had the Wiener Schnitzel which was just perfectly cooked (you can ask for a pork or a veal one). Prices are ok, and service is really kind. As a conclusion, a place where we would come back.

Delicious traditional Austrian food.
Very attentive service and outstanding overall dining experience.

We chose this restaurant based on reviews. The food was very traditional. I had a delicious onion and bacon dumpling dish. My husband had a beef dish that he thought was okay.

I don’t need a lot of words to describe this Lokal!
They have simply the best traditional Austrian dishes, such as Rostbraten and Wiener Schnitzel! Their side salads are so yummie, I just can’t believe it.
In Neuberg (the area where Spittelberg is located), you can have nice lunches and dinners for less money (In the Altstadt, everything is rather expensive).
Bravo for the friendly staff and good value meals, I will definately be back when visiting Vienna!
