Signature dishes: Tafelspitz, Beuschel
Must order: Tafelspitz with the full set of sides; the cut of the day is the recommended order.
Tip: A quieter Tafelspitz alternative to Wollzeile, especially at lunch; the 1130 postcode makes parking easier too.
Address: Auhofstrasse 1, 1130 Wien, Vienna
Labstelle on Lugeck in Vienna's first district cooks a regional, seasonal carte under a vaulted brick ceiling, a quieter alternative to the schnitzel rooms.
Signature: Modern Austrian tasting, Seasonal courses
Order: The five-course seasonal menu; the kitchen rebuilds it monthly.
Tip: The walled inner courtyard is the room's summer-evening seat; book ahead for Friday and Saturday.
Reinthaler's on Dorotheergasse off Graben is an old-school Beisl with no closing day, the kitchen running 11:00-22:30 and the parlour bright with locals.
Signature: Wiener Schnitzel, Beuschel, Tafelspitz
Order: Wiener Schnitzel with parsley potatoes and a Spritzer to drink.
Tip: Open every day with no closing day; phone reservations preferred between 09:00 and 12:00.

Signature: Wiener Schnitzel, Beuschel, Backhendl
Order: Wiener Schnitzel with the warm potato salad, Beuschel for old-Vienna offal lovers.

Reznicek on Reznicekgasse in Alsergrund is Simon Schubert and Julian Lechner's modern Wirtshaus, swapping the card each season alongside a serious wine list.
Signature: Seasonal Austrian carte, Backhendl, Schmankerlpfanne
Order: Whatever roast is on the card; the wine list is deeper than most Beisl in the district.

Order: Wiener Schnitzel for the classics-leaning card; the daily Mittagsmenue is the value play.
Tip: The sister Cafe Englaender at Praterstern 9 in the 2nd district runs the same kitchen, easier to walk in on a busy weekend night.
Stuwer on Stuwerstrasse in Leopoldstadt is a new-Vienna Beisl that mixes Backhendl and Schnitzel with grilled pulpo for the local Prater crowd.
Signature: Backhendl, Zucchini Cannelloni, Topfenknoedel
Order: The Backhendl for traditionalists; the grilled pulpo for the modern card.
