Feels a bit dead on weekday nights, better atmosphere at weekends.

They do takeaway and delivery.

In the evening the small bar and schanigarten fills with a selection of local characters who seem to do more beer-drinking than pizza-eating.

Pool table in the back. Free wifi.

Good music.

Nice cakes.

Can't agree on the food though, anything more complex than toast or a schnitzel seems to be a challenge for the kitchen. On our last visit the beiried was like an old boot and the fish ragout came slathered in what looked and tasted like some kind of industrial lubricant. However, as this is Vienna, this passed for a good 3 star meal.

Quite good coffee, also made to go. Popular with drunken chain-smoking pensioners who sit there the whole afternoon staring into the spirit optics. If you are a not a drunken pensioner you may find the place slightly depressing.

Inedible food, bad music, slow dopey staff and an interior that smells like a tramp's trousers. Any restaurant that serves its specialities in greasy shovels and wheelbarrows (sadly not a joke) can't be taken seriously. To make matters worse it is taking up a great sunny location on Porzellangasse.

Centimeter is what pubs will be like in hell.

main courses a bit variable. Good Arak, and shisha pipes which you can smoke outside in the summer.

Reservation needed at weekends. The best thing to do is to buy 4-5 of the little curries, dahls etc. and combine with an assortment of sides like the hoppers and thosai. For chilli-addicts, a couple of the chutneys are pretty hot and a little bowl of the sambal will add heat to anything.

Quality seems to have declined a little in the last year but still great.

A little overpriced for the location and menu, but still very good.

Also has karate and aerobics classes.

Staff are friendly and helpful. I don't see this sort of smiling, professional customer service catching on in Austria but you have to admire the Fresco for trying it.

The food is generally good and is made with fresh ingredients, but as someone says below they have no hot salsas ("scharf" is just a scattering of watery jalapeno slices) and the meat is not very spicy. If you like your burritos to cause fiery colon damage then these might be a bit disappointing. If you ask for rice then most of the burrito ends up stuffed with it so avoid that.

The beer is pricey - 3.80 for a wee bottle of Corona is just cheeky. Better to buy a couple of burritos as a takeaway, and take them to Freud Park with a 6-pack of cold ones from the Spar down the road.

Nice street garden in summer, no smoking area through the back. Best Wiener Küche in Porzellangasse.

Two pool tables, table football. Good music, DJs. Open from 8pm until 4am. Gets pretty messy.

They will serve your curry UK-spicy if you ask, though you might have to assure them you are not Austrian ;). The lamb dishes are particularly good.

It can be hard to get a table and the quality declines a bit when they are busy, but still one of the best curries to be had in Vienna.

Good value food and drinks.

The garden outside is an escape from crowds on Mariahilfer Str. in the summer

Good value, especially the cheap lunch menu. Home delivery, usually within 40 minutes.

The Nan bread is the best I have tasted in Austria

Pricey.

The interior is pleasant enough but the food was awful. Leathery satay chicken, day-old overcooked sushi rice, sulphurous mottled omelette, and (worst of all) old, tasteless fish in the sushi and sashimi. The red tuna was obviously leftovers from a day or two before and was gritty and falling apart. Nauseating and dangerous for the health. I left most of my meal untouched. The only good part of the meal was the Gyoza.

Even worse than Akakiko, and that is saying something.

Small garden overlooking the busy square in summer is great for people-watching.

If you can get over the feeling that you are somehow eating your meal trapped inside a lavender-scented grandmother, the food is actually pretty good.

Popular with Chinese locals and tourists, which is a good sign. Service can be a bit slow, but everything seems fresh so it is worth waiting. Some dishes can be glutinous and a bit heavy on the oil. Excellent by Austrian standards, reservations recommended.

As with all Szechuan, the food can be deceptively spicy, especially the morning after. The expression "arse like a bullet wound" springs to mind. Not the best place to go the night before a big meeting.

Some nice Italian wines by the glass.

sandwiches likes this could be Britain's greatest export to Austria.

Totally overpriced (almost 5 euros each) but I don't know anywhere else doing sandwiches like this in Vienna. A lot better than a dried-up cheese semmel from Anker.

Good range of draught beers, including Stiegl and Trumer, along with a decent wine list. Friendly service and a very relaxed atmosphere. Nice garden set off the road.

Does not open until 16:00 during the week.

I know most Austrians have iron stomachs and will eat anything when drunk, but this place is ridiculously bad. Even the rancid-looking Gersthof kebab shop under the S-Bahn line serves better food than this.

The Loch Ness is now called the "Sun City" and serves both Pizza and Curry. The curries are OK (though they don't sell many so most of them are reheated out of the fridge) but the Egyptian pizza was definitely better than the Indian variation. The beer has also changed to some off-brand Slovak pish, served at room temperature.

Despite the changes, the pizzeria formerly known as the Loch Ness is still frequented by the tradition-bound members of the Vienna Pipes and Drums, a group of unmusical alcoholics so desperate to associate themselves with anything even vaguely Scottish that they have been coming here every week for almost a decade to complain about the food.

A huge choice of scaly & tentacled creatures sit on ice, which you pick from and have cooked to your preference. Expensive. Big garden in summer.

Quite a young crowd.

The big covered schanigarten is always tempting on a hot night when you walk past and smell meat on the grill. Resist the temptation to sit down as the food here is really quite bad.

Regardless of what you eat you will be able to strip wallpaper with your garlic breath for days afterwards.

The cooked dishes are not so nice - the udon noodles are served swimming in grease. Free delivery in 17-19th districts.

Home-made pasta includes delicious Strozzapreti "priest chokers". Service can be a bit slow when they are busy.

Breakfasts are good, lunch and dinner are pretty rubbish (overpriced, small portions, not actually very good). Eat lunch in the Wickerl across the road and then come here for a drink afterwards.

Despite the suspiciously large variety of cuisines on offer (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai and Indian) the food is pretty good. The sushi is average, but the cooked dishes and the dumplings are great.

The main hall at night is fully of noisy students who can't hold their booze. Non-smoking bit around the other side is a bit nicer.

Has a microbrewery with rather soapy beer, nothing special but no worse than Fischerbräu. Not sure what the Scottish connection is supposed to be as they only serve a handful of Whiskies (the Diageo "classic malts") and have no traditional Scottish beer, music or fighting.

Tholl is a tiny, spotlessly clean restaurant run by a friendly and enthusiastic Austrian. Only about 6 tables so booking advised, although it does not seem that well-known. For once in Austria the spicy stuff is really spicy - these are marked in the menu with 3 chillies for the safety of the Warmduschers. Recommend the spicy beef curry made with really tender bits of boiled beef, and the chicken satay starters.

Separate non-smoking area. Good service and a great value daily menu. Slightly stuffy Gersthof clientele, you can hear the arthritis creaking from 50m down the street.

If you like Eros Ramazzotti and nothing else then this is the place for you as his CDs are on constant bloody rotation.

The Lahmacun is delicious and the kebs are the best I've tasted in Vienna. The bread is cooked fresh to order from pre-made dough. Has a few tables to sit-in.

The "Blunzencremeschnitte" is highly recommended.

The menu combines the usual Viennese favourites with some offal specialities. Everything is good - especially the cabbage soup, Tafelspitz and Salonbeuschel.
