Ribs Of Vienna - Innere Stadt

Sooo delicious!!! Massive portion, but I managed to eat all lol: the waiter was super friendly and makes me able to sit without reservation. They came here alone, but they treated me very well! I tried the most popular. Interesting was that the restaurant was filled with East Asians, cz his very famous place from Korean community hahahaha dont hesitate to come here!

I thought I was talking to a tourist trap when I saw some Asians (like a tour) eating there, but the food proved I was wrong. The rib is just incredibly delicious! Please book before you come, I saw quite a lot of people waiting outside when I finished my meal at 3.

I met up with some friends for dinner here during my whirlwind 36 hours in Vienna. It was conveniently located between where they live and where we were staying, offers authentic Austrian food, and was not terribly expensive. On top of that, we had reservations for the outdoor terrace. And that offered a spectacular view to add to our dining experience. Brandauer is on the top floor of the Gerngross shopping center. I am not sure if it is 100% accessible to all, but they have indoor space too. If you eat on the rooftop, be aware the restrooms are a bit of a hike down a floor and across the building. The view is worth it. Our server was just fine, not overbearing and able to split the bill at the end of the meal. For my main meal, I got one of the specials of the day: the fish filet with spinach risotto. It was really good, and a lot more food than I expected. The beer was cold and tasty. The whole evening was really wonderful, primarily thanks to the company. But the food and ambiance is also great!

Brandauer at Gerngross on the Mariahilferstraße is a popular lunch spot. Especially popular is its buffet priced at around 10 Euro. Unfortunately this is not a winner with me. First of all, I should say here that buffets are not my favorite way to eat. I find all the getting up and down disruptive to conversation .... and I usually eat much more than I want to of food that is usually only middle of the road in quality. I also don't know how long the food has been sitting out or been under the heat lamp. For the most part I avoid food buffets except the obligatory hotel breakfast buffets when I am travelling. This Brandauer buffet was heavy on the meats and carbs with only an acceptable salad contingent. Nothing impressed me....that is except two items. I thought the Tomatencreme Suppe was very flavorful and the Erdäpfelsalat (potato salad prepared Austrian style was def delicious. (Sorry though there was no Austrian pumpkin seed oil to add to it. And then I think my biggest down rating on this lunchtime buffet was the fact that there was no Nachspeise (dessert . C'mon! This is Austria one or two Nachspeisen should totally be available. There is one nice aspect to this buffet or to Brandauer's at Gerngross in general. It's situated on the top level of the department store with a nice outdoor eating area. The front portion of the outdoor dining has a wonderful view over the Mariahilferkirche (Haydn Church and south Vienna! Next time I'll probably just have a drink and enjoy the view!

Great Spareribs Schnitzel!!! Very good service value for money. Highly recommended.
