Food was amazing! We ordered the Ribs of Vienna and the portion was huge — definitely more than enough for two Asian ladies. The meat was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The onion soup was also delicious, rich, and savoury. Everything paired perfectly with a dark beer. Service was friendly, fast, and attentive. Highly recommend! **book a table in advance before your visit It’s wonderful to be back at Ribs of Vienna after 20 years! On our first visit, my wife and I stumbled upon this gem while exploring the city. This time, we returned with our daughters—and I’m happy to say the food is just as delicious as we remembered. The spare ribs were outstanding! The fries that came with Gourmet Spare Ribs had a distinctive aroma that made them truly memorable. The Spare Ribs Diablo, with their bold spices and chili kick, elevated the flavor of the meat to another level. A special thank you to the restaurant manager, who was incredibly kind and accommodating. When we walked in without a reservation, he made a reservation for us in a hour time, so we didn’t have to wait there. We also appreciated the thoughtful advice from our young waiter, who gently warned us that ordering three rib dishes might be too much for two adults and two children. Apologies—we finished every bite! They were simply too good to resist. I’m not sure when I’ll be back in Vienna, but when I am, this will be my first stop. I wholeheartedly recommend Ribs of Vienna to anyone visiting the city. A really cozy and pleasant place with fantastic food. The ribs were absolutely amazing, we liked all the sause, but our personal favourite is definitely sous-vide. Better reserve a table (we haven't, but were lucky enough to get one) as the place is really popular.

Definitely a MUST GO restaurant in Vienna and will spread the words to all of my friends who are visiting Vienna! I have to say this is the BEST Meal in 15 Days in Europe! After 15 days of travelling through Europe, I can confidently say that this was the absolute best dinner we have had. Every aspect was perfect, but the food truly ascended to another level. Me and my sister started with the potato mushroom soup, which was delicious, creamy, and comforting. And we thought it can't get any better than this but we were wrong. The ribs!!! I am not actually a fan of ribs. But since they are a famous dish in Vienna, we decided to order them. This decision led to the most wonderful surprise of our trip! These were, without any exaggeration, the most incredible ribs I have ever had in my life. They were fall-off-the-bone tender, super juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the flavour was just sublime. It completely redefined what a rib could be. Portion is generous and worth more than its price! And even the side salad is also a great complement! Perfectly provides a refreshing balance with the ribs! Furthermore, our experience was made even more exceptional by our server, Veronika. She greeted us with the cutest smile that made us feel instantly welcome. She was incredibly patient, explaining the menu in detail. Her recommendation for the ribs was spot-on—we are so grateful she guided us toward it and suggested us to go for bigger portions or we might have to fight for the last piece! Her service was attentive, friendly, and added a wonderful personal touch to our evening. Thank you RIBS OF VIENNA for an unforgettable meal and a perfect dining experience. If you are in Vienna, you simply cannot miss this place. We will be dreaming about those ribs until we can return! LOVE IT!!!Will definitely come back for it!

I am bringing the impression that most Austrian waiter will be mean (this is not what I said but most of the video I view said so), but the waiter and waitress in this restaurant is friendly and professional, love their services. The portion of the ribs is very big and can share amongst 3 pax. Although the ribs is not the best I have, but the taste is not bad. Definitely worth the visit.
