Naschmarkt

I ordered Veal schnitzel and beet salad. Overall the schnitzel had a gentle texture, however some small parts were a bit chewy, for this price I expected to melt in ny mouth. Beet salad was good, I like the addition of pistachios, however some greens were not fresh, I could taste it. Very friendly stuff.

Total Score: 5.75 Bathroom: 4/5 Decent stone brick bathroom Customer Service: 4.25/5 Very nice and checked up on us frequently Ambiance: 4/5 Moody lighting fancy restaurant vibes Food: 3/5 A bit too deconstructed for me. Wished it was an actual pot pie. Also the soup was like lowkey so sweet for some reason. Wow: -0.5/1 Hella overpriced Total Score = BR + CS + 2*AM + 5*FOOD + WOW

It was a weeknight when we decided to stop by this Austrian restaurant for dinner with a friend who was visiting town. We started by sharing a bowl of garlic soup, and I honestly hadn’t tasted anything like it before. It was rich and creamy, with a strong garlicky aroma and topped with fried, slightly burnt garlic. Perfectly comforting for a winter evening. They also drizzled a bit of chili oil on top, which added a lovely kick and really elevated the dish. Highly recommended. For the mains, I ordered the classic veal schnitzel, served with potato salad. The potato salad was very simple and traditional, a bit on the blander side, with cucumber and dill. However, it paired well with the schnitzel. The veal itself was excellent: crispy, well-fried, and made with good-quality meat. I did wish it had a touch more seasoning inside, but honestly, fried food rarely disappoints. My friend went with the goulash, which came with a cheesy macaroni-style side, somewhat similar to mac and cheese, though not exactly the same. The goulash was hearty and flavorful, with tender chunks of meat and a dollop of sour cream on top. Very filling and satisfying. We ended the meal with an Austrian chocolate cake served with whipped cream. It was simple, deeply chocolatey, and made with good-quality chocolate, no frills, just really well done. Overall, we loved the entire meal. The portions were generous, the service was excellent, and the staff was warm and attentive. The restaurant was lively and fully packed when we visited, which says a lot. Definitely a spot I’d highly recommend if you’re in the mood for classic Austrian comfort food.

So I was at this place a year ago and the food back then was really bad. Yes the place has improved but the inconsistencies is what kills the experience. Let's start from the top The pretzel is under baked and lacks its crunch. Also don't serve pretzels with queso . It doesn't go together. The sausage trio is nice but the sauerkraut and red cabbage are not. The sauerkraut gives you gas like there is no tomorrow, good sauerkraut doesn't. This happens when the sauerkraut isn't pickled long enough. The mussels were nice but the provencale sauce had nothing to do with provencale. Lacked herbs, garlic and spices The trout was nice and the caper lemon sauce added a nice touch to it. The gulasch lacks depth and the spaetzle was an insult to the taste buds. Spaetzle need to be pan roasted after you pull them out of the water. They need to be crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. No sauce needed, the sauce comes with the meat dish and rounds out the gulasch. Don't try the Sacher torte as it's not a Sacher torte. It's a chewy chocolate sponge cake with apricot sauce but that is not Sacher. The portions are large and the prices high. I suggest reduce the portion size and focus on the complete quality of every dish you serve up. Nice service and setting but lots of work to do
