Papas am Naschmarkt — Restaurant in Vienna

AVOID IF YOU ARE HUNGRY! Total chaos. The orders are not taken as per arrival. The food is served with different timing. My mate food came without side dish. By the time the side dish arrived the meat got cold. My food still nowhere...After 1 hour and 10 minutes waiting I asked where my food is. The kitchen staff wasnt even aware of my order. So I stood up and left this bloody madhouse behind and ended up in the nearest McDonald's because we already starved waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes. Absolute shame. I paid my drinks but this place didnt even worth a penny. Wasted my time and i was not compensated. Not even an apology...SHAME ON THIS ALL. WOULD RECOMMEND EVERYOME TO AVOID THIS PLACE. IT IS FAR BELOW THE MINIMUM EXCEPTABLE...

😡읜죵촤뵬😡I went there with 3 other friends yesterday, had to wait for more than 40 mins after ordering, and the staff said “You need to wait in Austria” but all the other people near us got their foods even if they arrived there later than us. 주문하고 40분을 기다렸는데 음식을 받지 못했습니다. 주변 서양인들 저희보다 늦었는데도 음식 다 받았길래 혹시 주문에 문제가 있나 싶어 직원에게 물어보니 사람이 많아서 그렇다고 너희 주문 처리되고 있다고 말하면서 ”근데 말이야, 오스트리아에서는 음식을 주문하면 기다려야 해“ 라고 말했습니다. 현재 저는 프랑스에 거주중이라 유럽의 식당 매너에 대해 잘 알고 있는데 유럽 사람들도 음식이 지나치게 늦으면 물어보고 화내고 나가고 다 합니다. 그래서 기다리는 게 매너인 줄 알지만~ 으로 질문을 시작했고요. 저 말을 듣고 우리 주변 사람들은 우리보다 늦게 왔는데도 음식을 일찍 받았다 라는 말을 하려고 했지만 제 말을 다 끊으며 무시하고 저보고 돌아가라고 손짓하면서 계속 매너에 대한 말을 반복했습니다. 맛은 말그대로 평범 그 자체였습니다. 이만큼 하는 식당은 차고 넘칩니다. 아 근데 파파스샐러드는 개별로입니다 야채를 썰다 말아서 양파를 통으로 씹어먹어야 했어요

Since I am living in France, I knew all “general” etiquettes in restaurants in Europe and didn’t do any rude behavior. If the foods are way too late you can ask them if there’s any problem and it’s not a rude thing.

We ordered some beverages and foods. At the moment we arrived the restaurant was not that crowded. The server gave us drinks and breads right after ordering, so we just said thank you and waited.

But after 30 mins, we had not received anything. But we saw so many “white” people who came later than us already started eating. So I started worrying about if there was any problem or not. After 5 mins more, I decided to ask them. I went to the counter (since more people arrived and the server was way too busy) and asked them if there was any problem. I started with “I know I have to wait~” and kept polite tone. The guy at the counter said they were too busy, and asked me what we ordered. He pointed their kitchen and said some of our foods were over there. So I said okay and tried to go back, but he added “but in Austria you need to wait” like a “teacher” and I am sure it was just because we are Asian. Not all Asian people come to Europe as travelers, like you Turkish people live in Europe. I couldn’t enjoy foods at all. If you are asian, you might be able to “learn” the table manner in “austria” from the owner unlike other “white” people.

I only wrote what I had experienced. 2 stars are just to avoid...

Arriving from Salzburg and famished, headed to Naschmarkt for dinner after quick checkin. Place was full of diners but serendipitously found a table for 2 at Papas, a joint offering family recipe mediterranean cuisine for the last 30+ yrs. Started with baba ganoush and muhamarra-a turkish spicy walnut pomegranate dip-with pita bread. Main was Antiochtischer-plate of dips, veggies, couscous and Austrian Beef Goulash with Semmelbrod or bread pudding. Food portion was generous, tasty and filling. Service was quick and friendly. Outdoor dining setting was intimate, not crowded and less noisy. Tip-Papas is towards the end of the Naschmarkt strip and a bit away from the crowded, noisy dining stands...
