Recommended by trusted travelers and Michelin Weibel’s Wirtshaus feels as though it may have occupied Kumpfgasse 2 for centuries, a short walk from St Stephen’s Cathedral finding the small Restaurant serving traditional Viennese fare plus seasonal inspirations.
Something of a “Gastropub” by Austrian standards, with outdoor dining offered in the garden, it is by a lone server that guests dining at lunch are guided with no rush as each and every plate is made in the kitchen as ordered.
Possibly an old home or inn, the kitchen hidden from view and a bar beneath more seating upstairs, Weibel’s comes decorated in tchotchkes and photos providing temporary distraction until the arrival of velvety Chestnut Soup unfortunately a little overwhelmed by Truffle Oil.
Fair priced from Appetizers to Entrees, €22,90 for a hulking piece of Wienerschnitzel more than justified by tender flesh and loosely-adherent Breading, don’t overlook semi-sweet cooked Cranberries as an addition nor a generous bowl of Potato and Cucumber Salad.
Open lunch and dinner with a sizeable Wine list for someplace so small, Dessert includes many of the usual suspects though none comes more recommended than torn Pancakes, or Kaiserschmarrn, kissed by Confectioner’s Sugar and ready to be topped with stewed Plums or Apple Mousse.
