Drechsler Wienzeile — Restaurant in Vienna

I decided to try this cafe with my wife for our first Viennese cafe experience. I picked it based on the reviews, but did not have the same experience that most people here seemed to have.

We were a bit late for breakfast. My wife had fruit salad and what we though would be fresh raspberry lemonade. I ordered the beef goulash and a coffee. The coffee was ok, but the food was definitely not worth it.

My wife's fruit salad only had apple, pear and a few grapes drenched in orange juice topped with a red hair (were both Asians with black hair). The entire thing tasted like orange juice. It was a shame that my intro to Austrian food was this beef goulash. I know that there are better specialized restaurants for this type of food, but based on some of the reviews I thought the food would be good. The beef was tender, but the sauce was nothing to rave about....tasted a bit like what I would expect out of a Dinty Moore can....

Lastly, I was really confused when it came time to pay where the waiter made it a point that tip was not included and was clearly expecting tip....I'm not used to waiters being so upfront about tip....particularly since I had read that the custom was to not tip or maybe round up your bill....it was not the best way to end the experience....needless to say, we wanted to get out of there and not relax to and...

Awesome brunch experience. We booked a table on bank holiday and the place was as crowded as one can expect. However, we were quickly lead to our table and promptly offered the menu.

There is an extensive range of options, many of the usual brunch offerings and some more original. We tried their dirty chai, one home made lemonade and one latte (the use locally sourced coffee from Alt Wien) for drinks. As for food we tried their pulled pork toast, avocado with salmon and the ramasauri sandwich.

Everything came within minutes and looked imponent. The portions were vast as well. Taste wise, not deception at all: the flavours keep up with the look. The only downside was the excessive saltiness of the pulled pork, which was otherwise pretty good. For me, the highlight were the scrambled eggs in the ramasauri, which tasted distinct and addicting.

We ended up with a 20€ per person ratio, which seemed right considering the quantity and quality of the food. Friendly reminder to bring cash since cards were...

We visited on the morning of December 6th and had such a wonderful experience, largely thanks to our waitress. She was incredibly friendly, helpful, and proactive, ensuring we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our visit. Her attentive service truly stood out and added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

The food was equally impressive. The pancakes were a highlight—fluffy, perfectly cooked, and surprisingly light on the stomach, making them an ideal breakfast treat. I also had the Ramasuri sandwich, substituting avocado for bacon, and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were fresh and well-balanced, creating a dish that felt both hearty and healthy.

This is a spot I would happily revisit for its combination of excellent service and delicious food. Highly recommended for a memorable...
