Our Story

The story began when Johann Figlmüller opened the first wine tavern on Wollzeile in 1905. Just around the corner from St. Stephen's Cathedral, he established a place where people have been imbibing, chatting, and eating great for the past 120 years. A glass of our home-grown wine is the perfect accompaniment to our interpretation of the Wiener Schnitzel, which has not only become the house special — but also a symbol of the city of Vienna.

Here you'll find the world-famous Figlmüller restaurant, where celebs, locals and tourists alike come to enjoy a good meal. Where they're from may set them apart. Why they come unites them. To savour the world's most-famous schnitzel and to enjoy a glass of our home-grown wine in a homely setting. And that's just what our grandfather always wanted.

Each generation has left its mark on Figlmüller. When space started running out at Wollzeile, we opened a second restaurant right around the corner on Bäckerstraße, where we're serving up schnitzel and a host of other mainstays in Viennese cuisine — including our vegan schnitzel, succulent roast beef, and home-made Kaiserschmarrn pancakes.
