Café Frischhut
Schmalznudel Café Frischhut
A historic pastry shop next to the Viktualienmarkt, famous for its freshly fried lard pastries at budget-friendly prices.
Located right next to the Viktualienmarkt, the Frischhut family has run this shop since 1973, selling almost exclusively one thing: Schmalznudel, a lard-fried pastry dusted with powdered sugar. Striezel is available year-round, and Krapfen is served during the Carnival season. The interior is simple with few tables, and the service is famously direct. Long queues often stretch out the door during peak hours, making it unsuitable for a full meal. Takeout is available. Arriving in the morning is recommended; weekdays around 9:30 are usually more relaxed. Some sources state they only accept cash, so it is best to have cash ready.
