Heuriger Kierlinger — Restaurant in Vienna

My wife and I visited Heuriger Kierlinger on March 7 by accident, you could say. We took tram D to its terminus to see what there might be in Nussdorf, and alighting from the tram, we were a bit peckish.

My wife is a wizard in finding bars and eateries, so she intuitively took us through the unassuming gate close to the tram terminus, along the rather abandoned-looking yard, and finally to the tavern itself, which seemed to have some life in it, at least the lights were on.

Entering the establishment, the host suggested we come deeper inside as it is warmer there, and bliss followed.

I ordered the Grammelknödel, a traditional Austrian delicacy. It is cubes of pork belly fried crispy and enclosed in a potato-mash ball, served with Sauerkraut. I have seldom tasted anything better.

My wife wanted to try the traditional Wiener Schnitzel that came with local potato salad. I got to taste it, and the experience was nothing short of my own.

Being a Heuriger (wine tavern), the place does not serve beer. We both had a glass of their house red, a wonderfully subtle and soft wine that did not interfere with the taste of the food, but complemented it.

Now I understand if some of you may suspect that this is a paid review as I'm so over the moon, but rest assured, I just am over the moon. :)

So, if you find yourself at the terminus of tram D in Nussdorf, you know...

If you are looking for warm and friendly service, don’t go there.

I asked about their gluten-free options, as the menu suggested, but was sent inside to choose from the cold appetizers. When I tried to ask the lady behind the buffet what they had, she was extremely rude and simply told me “nothing.”

I then asked for some cheese. She agreed but refused to say what types they had—just pointed at the fridge, where it was impossible to identify anything. In the end, I chose three types at random. Meanwhile, she complained to her colleague about me eating gluten-free, not realizing that I understood German. When I said ‘cheese is fine for me’, she suddenly stopped talking.

If my family hadn’t already ordered, I would have left.

The only plus: their wine was delicious.

we informed the main waiter about the incident. He was so kind and apologized on behalf of his colleagues. He brought some...

Came here after a December walk through the vineyards and immediately knew we had made a great choice. The interior is cosy and welcoming - the perfect place to warm up after walking through the snow. The serving staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home, even as the only tourists in the whole place. Most importantly, the food and particularly the drink was great for what we paid. A large meal and two glasses of wine set me back around 12€. The selection of wine, all produced in the vineyards behind the heuriger, is fantastic. Just make sure to check the calendar on their website to check the days they are open if you're planning...
