Wiener whisper quietly about this tucked-away Spittelberg
Beisl
, an enchanting
summer choice for its cobbled, lantern-lit courtyard swathed in ivy and vines. The sea-
sonally inspired food hits the mark too, whether you opt for pasta like fettuccine with
wild garlic or light mains like salad with smoked trout fillet. Sunday brunch (€10.90) is
popular, as is the weekly cocktail special (€4.10).

This much-loved
Beisl
is a favourite of the Wieden crowd. Its menu is heavily
loaded with Viennese classics, such as
Schinkenfleckerl
,
Schweinsbraten
(roast pork) and
four types of schnitzel
,
and is enhanced with seasonal cuisine throughout the year. You
could do worse than finish the hefty meal off with a stomach-settling plum schnapps. The
tree-shaded garden is wonderful in summer.

There's a real neighbourly feel
to this
Beisl
, where a red-walled, wood-floored interior and tiny courtyard garden create a
pleasantly low-key backdrop for fine dining. The menu changes regularly and
Mediterranean-Austrian specialities reveal an attentive eye for quality, detail and present-
ation - be it goat's cheese soufflé with dates or wild duck with rose hip-red cabbage and
mandarin polenta.
