MONTE OFELIO BAR Schottenbastei — Restaurant in Vienna

It's an Italian bar with Italians running the place. Came in, ordered three glasses of prosecco. Bill: circa 34 euros, which is fine when the prosseco is exceptional. But this tasted really baf. It wasn't even enjoyable to drink. Two of the three of us were served prosecco from a second bottle, when poured out, it was cloudy, which prosseco should never be. The bartender tried to claim, this is fancy Sicilian prosecco, then upgraded us to a "better bottle" that tasted terrible. I'm so disappointed, because this place always looked so lively and happy when I passed by on my commute. All three of us will never return. Avoid it. They're charlatans. And find a place serving Viennese Sekt, which tastes much better and is...

Walked in and immediately thought too small, boring cafe, not for us. Could I have been more wrong!!

The two lads behind the bar were fantastic. Extremely professional, drinks were amazing and in particular my Old Fashioned was to die for. Just pure attention to detail from the setup, to the music genre and volume, to the drinks, and to the food (which we never had but saw pass us on multiple occasions).

I love seeing people who genuinely care and are passionate about what they do, and these lads know what they are doing.

Keep it up and if we pass again we’ll...

I have been here 3 times and the experience was consistent.

Good: High quality ingredient food.

Bad: Incredibly high pricing for no reason. 13 eur for a small sandwich? Very small and limited seating space. Incredibly subpar toilet facilities. Unfriendly and indifferent staff. Slow service for simple menu items.

This is a place where you stand with a glass of wine or a coffee and talk, and maybe you order 1 little snack also. Do not go here to eat...
