We were warned to arrive early - by 2.30pm on Saturday afternoon, the queue stretched across the cobbled street... so we made another plan. On Sunday we arrived earlier and only had to queue through the double doors to the footpath.
We had chosen to visit the original
Figlmueller restaurant, just behind St Stephen's - for an amazing gastro experience. This has been the original dining room for over 100 years. The waiters wore their tuxedos with pride and exuded calm control. The specialty was clear - a thin pork schnitzel, which at an average 34cm diameter exceeded most dinner plates. We opted for the very traditional Wiener Schnitzel von der Kalbsrücken - a total treat, neatly presented in two segments. We complemented this with a bottle of local Grüner Veltliner, which was cleanly crisp. wow - an excellent last meal in Vienna!
