Flatschers Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Vienna

Where do I even begin with Flatschers Restaurant and Bar? The experience was like a bad improv show – uncomfortable, confusing, and I left wondering why I even bothered.

Upon arrival, the empty half of the restaurant felt like a ghost town, yet the head waiter insisted we play a riveting game of "Wait-for-No-Reason." I drowned my impatience in the free prosecco, a consolation prize for enduring their time-warping tactics.

Attempting to decode the head waiter's logic became my evening's entertainment. Apparently, others had more VIP reservations than our "oh-so-average" booking. And the classic gem – blaming the booking software for their lackluster organizational skills. Bravo, Flatschers, for turning excuses into an art form.

Finally seated, I dared to dream of a redemption arc through their renowned steaks. Alas, ordering a medium steak proved more challenging than solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. No apologies, just a plate-snatching grunt. Bravo again.

Round two saw a less raw steak, but the damage was done – my partner had finished her meal, leaving me with a belated birthday celebration. Thanks, Flatschers, for turning a special occasion into a lesson in patience and low expectations.

In a city boasting culinary gems like Porterhouse, District, and El Gaucho, Flatschers pales in comparison. Save your taste buds and special occasions for places that understand service is more than just...

My third time being there, the third time they messed up my reservation - this time my reservation of 12 (!) for my birthday.

After our arrival they asked us to wait at a bar table - no upfront information despite the fact they've had my phone number / E-Mail address available and some of us arrived already 20 minutes prior to everyone else.

After already waiting for 30 minutes, we proactively had to ask for drinks - no one actually took care of us. They then brought us a bottle of wine, sparkling water and some Aperol we then had to mix ourselves on the table (at least it was for free).

In total we had to wait (most of us standing) for more than an hour (!) until we finally got a table organized - but only for 8 people in the first place and finally for 10 so we had to squeeze together. Additionally, the manager who was responsible for the mess also dropped some inadequate comments throughout the evening.

The food (mainly steaks) and our waiter (unfortunately I do not know his name) after that was great though - that's the only reason for 2 stars, otherwise I would've loved to give the worst possible rating.

As the host for the night, it was embarrassing being treated like that - especially as this place is by far not the cheapest in town and one would expect...

Hold onto your buns folks, because I've got a burger review that'll have you salivating faster than you can say "medium rare"!

Let me tell you about this hidden gem of a steak restaurant that's serving up some of the best burgers I've ever sunk my teeth into. First off, the service is so good, you'll think you're dining with royalty. The staff is super friendly and attentive, and they know their way around a grill like nobody's business.

Now, onto the main event: the burgers. Oh my goodness, where do I even start? The patties are thick and juicy, and cooked to absolute perfection. I'm talking about that magical sweet spot where the meat is just the right amount of pink in the middle, and the juices are practically exploding with flavor. And the toppings? Don't even get me started. The cheese is melted to perfection, the lettuce is crisp and fresh, and the bacon is crispy and salty.

And let's not forget about the sides. The fries are crispy and golden brown, and the onion rings are so good, they should be illegal.

Overall, I give this steak restaurant and their burgers two big, juicy thumbs up. If you're a burger lover like me, you need to get yourself over there pronto. Your taste buds...
