"The fleet-footed staff hands you a menu, knowing full well you will order the glorious Wiener Schnitzel, which overlaps the plate with its pounded veal, breaded and sautéed to achieve the look of a lunar landscape."

Mesubim

"The most incredible Viennese schnitzel – perhaps the birth place of the Viennese breaded veal pounded thin and crumb fried in schmaltz."

Laksmi Pamuntjak

"But it is my super-thin, faultless Wiener schnitzel that really impresses—every bite is as good as the one before."

Carla Waldemar

"In my search for the perfect schnitzel, I was most pleased at Plachutta’s Gasthaus zur Oper."

Merryn Johns

"Many restaurants in Vienna do this dish well, but the best is Plachutta’s Gasthaus zur Oper."

Laura Holt

"The thin, breaded veal cutlet is served at its best in this stylish, modern restaurant, with potato salad and lamb's lettuce on the side."

Kerry Heaney

"A crisp, golden brown exterior around a thin, tender slab of veal – that’s wiener schnitzel perfection."

Richard Nahem

"The Wiener schnitzel was crisp, light, not the least bit greasy, and incredibly scrumptious. It was a most fond farewell."

Amanda Blakley

"Be sure to pay a visit to Plachuttas Gasthaus zur Oper. According to the Viennese, a proper schnitzel is prepared with veal, and this one ticks all the right boxes (thin, light and crispy) – ever so decadent!"

Rosanna Neophytou

"One of the best places we went to was Plachutta: Gasthaus zur Oper, located near to the Staatsoper serving a huge and tasty portion of this traditional delicacy."
