Wirtshaus Keintzel
A traditional Austrian tavern in the old Town Hall, known for oversized Wiener schnitzel and a courtyard terrace popular with locals.
Keintzel is in the old Town Hall (Rathausgasse 6–8) beside the main square. It is a popular traditional Wirtshaus in Linz's old town and ranks high on Tripadvisor's Linz list. Its signature is a Wiener schnitzel as large as the plate. Other dishes include cheese spätzle, apple strudel, and seasonal grilled trout with asparagus and hollandaise. The interior combines tavern and restaurant in a relaxed atmosphere, and in summer there is a spacious courtyard terrace. Note that hot dishes are served only during fixed lunch and dinner windows. Dinner on weekends should be booked in advance. Closed on Sundays. It is a one-minute walk from the main square.
