Figlmüller (Wollzeile)

Figlmüller Wollzeile

A famous schnitzel restaurant founded in 1905, whose signature pork schnitzel is so large it drapes over the edge of the plate, making it a must-visit classic for tourists.

Founded in 1905, the Wollzeile location is the original home of the brand, tucked away in an alley near St. Stephen's Cathedral. The signature dish is the pork schnitzel, claimed as the "original since 1905," which is pounded thin, incredibly wide, and drapes over the edge of the plate, costing about 21.9 EUR. Note that according to local regulations, the pork version cannot be called "Wiener Schnitzel," so check the menu carefully if you want veal. The potato salad is also frequently praised by diners. Expect a 30–45 minute wait during peak lunch and dinner hours; reservations or arriving right at opening at 11:00 are recommended. The average cost is about 35 EUR per person. It is a few minutes' walk from Stephansplatz Subway Station.
