Plachutta Wollzeile
The benchmark for Viennese boiled beef (Tafelspitz), served in copper pots, loved by both locals and tourists.
A local brand famous for its Tafelspitz (boiled beef), the Wollzeile branch is located on the eastern side of the Old Town. The beef is served with its broth in a copper pot, accompanied by root vegetables, bone marrow, chive sauce, apple horseradish, fried potatoes, and toasted dark bread. Diners typically drink the soup first before eating the meat. The Tafelspitz featured on the official website's menu is about 36.5 EUR, and various other beef cuts are also available. The restaurant is often fully booked; reservations are recommended for dinner and weekends, while lunch is relatively easier to get a table. It is a few minutes' walk from Stubentor Subway Station.
