What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the authentic Viennese cuisine, particularly the exceptional Wiener Schnitzel and Tafelspitz, often praising the generous portions and friendly service. While the food is consistently lauded, some guests have noted that the service can occasionally feel rushed or impersonal, and interior seating can be warm during hot weather.
"During my visit to Vienna, I stopped by Plachuttas Gasthaus zur Oper – and it was absolutely worth it! I had their traditional Viennese schnitzel and was genuinely impressed. The schnitzel was excellent – perfectly crispy, expertly prepared, and really huge. It was served on its own on a large plate, which gave it a nice touch of elegance.
The potato salad deserves special mention – very tasty, unique, and quite different from what we’re used to back home in the Czech Republic. A perfect complement to the schnitzel!
The outdoor seating was lovely. Even though it was a hot day, the restaurant had great outdoor cooling, so we could truly enjoy our meal in comfort.
I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to try authentic Austrian classics in a beautiful setting with professional service."

"The Wiener Schnitzel is really good, the side dishes are fine. I would have given it five stars but the service is not up to the standard. We had to remind the waiters for some of our orders, one of the waiters was kind of pushy and seemed annoyed. The beer is pricey and isn't something very special. Overall it is a good experience of the local cuisine."

"We had amazing dinner with even more amazing service and taste.
Place to enjoy the hearty austrian cuisine and hospitality.
The waiters are extremely polite and welcoming.
Thank you for keeping our forgotten phone, that gives you extra credit!"
