Closed Cafe Engländer
Postgasse (1. Bezirk) 2
1010 Vienna

Reviewed 01. Jun 2007

Cafe Engländer is a safe bet.

Even though their menu is limited (only two set meals per day, one vegetarian and one with the real stuff and some a la carte dishes like Weisswurst and Gulasch), the set meals are always (I repeat: always) extremely tasty and remind you of upper-upper class meals, however coming at a low price (EUR 6.90 to 7.90 for soup and main dish, EUR 7.50 to 8.50 plus dessert).

The staff is always good for a laugh and very friendly; however, they might be biased towards my crowd as we regularly go there and are clearly identified as lawyers coming from big law firms.

Cafe Engländer is always crowded at lunchtime. If you plan to go with a crowd of 4 or more, be sure to place a reservation 2 hours ahead.

Whilst the food is delivered quickly in most cases, sometimes they will forget your order. Sometimes, they will make you wait for ages before you get the bill.

Even despite these downsides, Cafe Engländer should not be left out in any case.

Edit: I just realised that Cafe Engländer has a special menu for the evening which is much more packed than the lunch menu. The prices in the evening, however, range from OK to pricey indeed. I haven't been there in the evening yet.

Closed Huth
Schellinggasse 5
1010 Vienna

Reviewed 03. Jun 2007

Huth is an upper market restaurant offering Austrian/Vienna plain fare ("Hausmannskost") at a very high level.

Prices are well above average in all aspects since you have to add a cover charge of EUR 2,20 in any case; however, you get three kinds of bread and decent spreads in exchange.

Every dish is decent at Huth, my favourites definitely being the "geröstete Kalbsleber mit Erdäpfelpürree" and the "Faschierte Laberl mit Erdäpfelpürree und kleinem Salat" as well as the "Erdäpfel-Vogersalat mit Speckkrusterl und Kernöl" as starter.

Expect to pay EUR 18,00 to 22,00 per person, including drinks and tip, if you aim low. If you go for the whole 9 yards (starter, entree, main course, dessert and wine), EUR 40,00 per person are easily spent at Huth.

The staff is genuine Vienna-style, meaning: the staff is the boss, and you are not.

If you want to try/taste original Vienna cuisine at a very high level and want to experience genuine Viennese "hospitality", go to Huth. Now!

Outside seating available; the Italian offset of the Huth (i.e. "da moritz") is right across the street; however, "da moritz" was disappointing to me on three out of four occasions (see separate review), so you might want to stick to Huth.
