Outstanding food, service, atmosphere. This restaurant sets a standard. We dined here Nov 4th, and were most impressed by the genuine staff. We don't recall our server's name, a tall blond, very accommodating, and well acquainted with wine. He recommended the cranberry sauce on veal schnitzel, and all I can say is, when you book your table, make sure you order the veal schnitzel with cranberry sauce. Yum. In addition, we tried the pepper soup, beef tartare, and venison, and all were equally fantastic. Before and after our meal, we were treated to samples from the kitchen including beet soup and truffles. It truly is the little things. You won't be rushed out; savor your meal to live piano music in a warm and charming space. Don't miss out on this experience and don't hum and haw over lower ratings. This is by and far a five star restaurant with excellent food and customer service.

This place was an absolute surprise! We just walked by and decided to try our luck finding a table for lunch — and it turned out to be the best meal we had in Vienna. The service, food, atmosphere, and incredible wine selection made it truly memorable. Absolutely recommend! 🍷✨

I had a really great experience. The food was great the service was friendly and quick. The restaurant is divided into sections and every section has booths groups can enjoy a bit of a secluded area. In one of the sections there is a piano, accompanying with your dinner. They have all Austrian wine list and help with the choice. The service starts with salty pumpkin seeds and and with sweetened pumpkin seeds- a nice touch. You also receive some small taste-size dishes with the compliments from the kitchen. It is central and with great traditional Austrian food. All in all definetely worth a visit.

We were treated so nicely here — like regulars from the moment we walked in! I truly applaud the service staff for being incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive. This was one of the best service experiences of my life. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic Viennese charm and elegance. The restaurant is spotless, with very clean toilets as well. Thank you for making a tourist feel so genuinely welcomed — an unforgettable experience at Zum weißen Rauchfangkehrer!

In the process of booking the restaurant I read a lot of conflicting reviews and was in doubt if it would be worth it or not. I can gladly say that I had a great time. The staff were lovely and really took care of me. I think what people often forget at restaurants is that you have to treat people well and be kind before you expect the red carpet… Just because you are paying does not mean you are allowed to be rude…but yet receive service full of smiles:) The food was delicious and I loved the pumpkin seed, soup, butter and bread served. The piano just hit the spot while you enjoy a great meal. There were also nice magazines layed out for me and really appreciated that as a solo traveller. I definitely recommend! Price is ok for overall Vienna std.
