The wine tavern of 1905 beside the cathedral where the breaded schnitzel, thin and the size of the plate, became a symbol of Vienna.

A wine tavern of 1905
Johann Figlmüller opened a wine tavern in 1905 on the Wollzeile, just round the corner from St Stephen's Cathedral. Today it is run by Thomas and Hans Figlmüller, the fourth generation, and the premises keep the air of a wine tavern: more an eating house than a smart restaurant. Here you eat the dish that made the house famous and that Viennese people associate with their city.
The schnitzel
Figlmüller's is made of pork, beaten until very thin, breaded and fried until golden: it comes out almost as big as the plate. It is served with its potato salad, dressed Viennese style. If you prefer the traditional Wiener Schnitzel, they also make it of veal. To drink, wine from their own winery. Prices change by season and are on the menu on their website.
Wollzeile or Bäckerstraße
The family has a second place round the corner, at Bäckerstraße 6 (open from 11:30 to 23:30, kitchen until 22:00, telephone +43 1 512 17 60), with more space, a bigger Viennese menu, vegan schnitzel and draught beer. The original, on the Wollzeile, is open every day from 11:00 to 22:30, with the kitchen until 21:30.
Getting there
Metro U1 and U3, Stephansplatz; from the cathedral square it is two minutes' walk.

Qué pedir: the house schnitzel with potato salad and a wine from their own winery.
