We stopped by Lugeck for lunch and it was such a great experience. The place was bustling! Definitely a popular spot, and even though there was a short wait, it moved quickly and was well worth it once we were seated. The atmosphere has that classic Viennese charm with a modern touch, and the service was friendly and efficient from start to finish. I ordered the schnitzel burger, which was cooked to absolute perfection. The meat was crisp on the outside, tender inside, and paired perfectly with the soft bun and condiments. The potato salad on the side was balanced and flavorful… tangy, creamy, and not too heavy. It felt like a true classic with just the right amount of twist. My husband got the beef with fried onions and potatoes, and it was also excellent! Tender, hearty, and full of flavor. You could tell everything was made fresh and with care. Overall, Lugeck delivered on every front: great food, great service, and a lively atmosphere. A solid 10/10. Definitely worth the stop for a fresh, satisfying meal in Vienna. We came for dinner without a reservation and were seated fairly quickly. The starters were excellent, and the main course — the famous Wiener schnitzel — was huge and delicious. So big, in fact, that we could barely finish it. Service was efficient and polite. Prices are on the higher side (they even charged for ketchup and mayo, which was a bit odd). All in all, a great experience and a really good restaurant. Dine here if you’re looking for a beautiful spot with elegant decor, delicious food, and no wait. The perfect alternative to Figlmüller when you’re craving schnitzel without the queue. I’d happily come back again if I were nearby. We didn’t feel like waiting in the never-ending line at Figlmüller, so we ducked into Lugeck instead, and it turned out to be a great call. We were seated right away in a stunning room with tall ceilings and modern, clean design. The service was friendly and unhurried, just the kind that makes you settle in and exhale. The seasonal goose soup was fantastic: rich, flavorful, and a touch salty, as Austrian soups tend to be, but deeply satisfying. The Viennese beef consommé was also lovely, though we slightly preferred the goose. Then came the truffle pork schnitzel, the star of the show. Tender and juicy, topped with generous shavings of black truffle, and served as two pieces, perfect for sharing. This wasn’t the juiciest pork schnitzel I’ve had in Austria, but it was the most unique. One soup each and a schnitzel to share was just the right amount for lunch, comforting and hearty while still leaving room for dessert.

My wife and daughter and I had dinner 2 Oct 2025 here at a friend's recommendation and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere. Excellent wine and beer selection. My daughter's meal schnitzel was some of the best we had eaten. My perch was delicious. Make reservations if you want to go. There was still a standby line when we arrived for our 8pm reservation.

I would like to express my genuine disappointment with the planning staff. I made a reservation for three adults and specifically requested a table suitable for 3 people. However, we were seated at a table meant for 2, and it was extremely uncomfortable, we could barely eat. The table next to us was available, and we asked to move there, but we were told it was for 4 people. However, just 5 minutes later, they seated 3 people at that same table. The food was good, but unfortunately, it didn’t make up for such an unpleasant dining experience.
