    I've had their spinach dumplings/Spinatknödel at least fifty times in my life. Wonderfully minimal interiors, proper Austrian cuisine, and rarely too loud. Good for families and chats with friends.

    Feel like in Austria in N1. Authentic Austrian food and products. Try a classic schnitzel or go for my favourite cheese sausage! You can't go wrong with anything in this place. Coffee is AMAZING!

    They also do amazing Austrian cakes, made to order. This one was a Mozart Torte - layers of marzipan and pistachio paste, between light and moist chocolate sponges, then covered with a chocolate glaze

    The Kaesespaetzle is awesome beyond words. Don't be lazy and order flat white/latte – look at the menu. For those who seek a strong flat white, the brauner is for you - highly recommended.

    This is an excellent Austrian restaurant. The Beef Goulash and the Sauerkraut were both fantastic. Cozy atmosphere located in a nice little back alley.

    Lovely cakes, proper apple strudel. The food is good and authentic Austrian. If you are tall be careful you don't hit your head on the lamps when you stand up. Free wifi.

    Kaesespaeztle! Do it! (It's like fancy Mac & cheese.) Although they did sprinkle it with balsamic vinegar which I would have preferred it without - but you could always ask.

    I understand they run out of dumplings (Sunday lunchtime?) and that they don't poach eggs instead of the scrambled on the menu. But what I can't condone is the rudeness of the service. We walked away.

    Looking for a stodgy meal then this is your place. pan fried veal with mushroom sauce, yum. Potatoes were still hard, sadly. Slow, slow service. Small portions left me hungry & had to order more food

    Bauernfruehstueck (egg/onion/bacon/potato) had a homemade feel, unfortunately the bacon was full of unpleasant hard bits of gristle (cost cutting?). Small piece of applecake pricey even for London.
