Frequently Asked Questions

The Figlmüller tradition is continued by Thomas and Hans Figlmüller, who represent the fourth generation. With passion and dedication, they ensure that the historic Viennese original retains its unique character, allowing guests from all over the world to enjoy an unforgettable culinary experience.

In Vienna’s city center, just a stone’s throw from St. Stephen’s Cathedral, you will find two Figlmüller locations. In addition to the legendary original in Wollzeile, which has been delighting guests since 1905, the restaurant in Bäckerstraße also offers its unique Viennese hospitality.

The original Figlmüller, the cradle of our schnitzel tradition, is located at Wollzeile 5. It is the place where the restaurant’s story began in 1905 and where you can still feel the authentic atmosphere of a traditional Viennese wine tavern that has been welcoming guests for over a century.

We at Figlmüller are world-renowned for one specialty: the legendary Wiener Schnitzel. It is the heart of our cuisine and a culinary landmark of Vienna. We serve it with our famous Figlmüller potatoe salad, the perfect accompaniment to our crispy classic.

The prices for our famous Wiener Schnitzel are subject to seasonal fluctuations and are adjusted from time to time. You can always find the most up-to-date prices on the official menu. his ensures that you receive the best ingredients at a fair price: Wollzeile Menu (https://www.figlmueller.at/en/wollzeile/menu/) and Bäckerstraße Menu (https://www.figlmueller.at/en/baeckerstrasse/menu/).

Absolutely. While our classic schnitzel is made from pork and served paper-thin and crispy, we also offer our guests the traditional Wiener Schnitzel made from veal. It is an equally delicious dish that represents the culinary diversity of Viennese cuisine and delights many connoisseurs.

The original Figlmüller Schnitzel is traditionally prepared from juicy pork, pounded paper-thin and pan-fried until golden brown. To accommodate all preferences, we also offer an excellent Wiener Schnitzel made from the finest veal, which is an equally irresistible choice.

Our recipe for success is based on decades of experience and a love for detail. The meat is pounded paper-thin, coated in a breadcrumb mixture, and pan-fried in hot oil until golden brown. The result is an incomparably crispy and light schnitzel that is almost as big as the plate. Here’s the recipe: https://www.figlmueller.at/en/recipes/the-figlmueller-schnitzel/

Our schnitzel is traditionally served with our signature salad, a combination that many consider to be the perfect pairing. However, our menu also features other traditional Viennese side dishes (e.g., parsley potatoes or buttered rice) that can be harmoniously served with our schnitzel.

Our kitchen team pays the utmost attention to the quality of our food preparation. The classic preparation of our schnitzel, whether it’s the original from pork or the veal version, is done in a pan. We use the same high-quality vegetable oil for our specialties.

We source our meat exclusively from selected, long-standing partners in Austria who share our high quality standards. Close cooperation with regional suppliers and butchers not only guarantees the best quality, but also short transport routes and support for local agriculture.

The heart of our kitchen is our crispy, traditionally breaded schnitzel. The classic preparation with breadcrumbs contains gluten. Due to the small size of our kitchen, we cannot offer a separate gluten-free fryer. However, our team will be happy to advise you on other gluten-free options on our menu.

Although our legendary schnitzel is the star of the menu, the diversity of Viennese cuisine is close to our hearts. We also serve traditional, meatless classics such as the famous Figlmüller salad with its special dressing, or other seasonal specialties that will delight vegetarians.

At Figlmüller, we value tradition, which is why cash payment is always welcome. However, we also accept major credit and debit cards.

You can conveniently pay with American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Diners Club, and JCB.

Our unforgettable schnitzel experience is inextricably linked to the atmosphere of our restaurant, the service, and the freshly prepared dish. The schnitzel loses its perfect crispiness when it is packed for take-away. Therefore, we do not offer food for take-away to guarantee the highest quality.

The demand for a seat with us is often very high. We recommend making an early reservation to avoid waiting times and to be guaranteed a table. However, you are also welcome to try your luck spontaneously. You never know, a table might have just become free.

Of course, we are happy to welcome groups and special occasions so that you can experience our Viennese hospitality together.

The unique atmosphere of our restaurant unfolds in our traditional dining rooms, which have been lovingly maintained over the decades. Our restaurants, both the original in Wollzeile and the one in Bäckerstraße, do not have an outdoor dining area or “Schanigarten”. We invite you to enjoy the true Figlmüller experience indoors with us.

Yes, of course, your loyal companions are also welcome! Well-behaved dogs that are on a leash and feel comfortable are welcome to accompany you for your culinary experience. Out of consideration for our other guests, we ask that you always keep them close to you.

The joy of giving is important to us. That’s why our Figlmüller gift cards (https://shop.figlmueller.at/en/cards/figlmueller-gift-card-voucher ) are valid not only for one but for both of our Viennese locations. This gives you the flexibility to decide whether you would like to visit the original in Wollzeile or the charming location in Bäckerstraße. There is also the option to buy a Figlmüller Group giftcard (https://shop.figlmueller.at/en/cards/figlmueller-group-voucher-gift-card) which is redeemable in all our restaurants.

As a restaurant housed in a historic building, the structural conditions can be challenging. Our restaurant in Bäckerstraße has wheelchair access and is equipped with a disabled-friendly restroom. The entrance in Wollzeile has steps and is therefore not wheelchair accessible.

Unfortunately, our restaurant on Wollzeile does not have storage space for strollers or high chairs. For families with small children, we recommend our restaurant on Bäckerstraße, where we have more space.

The Figlmüller restaurants are located in the historic city center of Vienna, which is mostly a pedestrian zone. We do not have our own parking facilities. We therefore recommend using the nearby public parking garages or traveling by public transport.
