Meat dishes are still the core of Viennese cuisine. Although vegetarian and vegan restaurants are on the rise, large parts of the population still prefer meat. Sadly, the industrialization of meat processing has led to the extinction of the many local butchers in town. Back in the day, every neighborhood had its own and today only a handful survive.
The ambitious Praterwirt tries to revive the tradition on Praterstraße with its compelling concept of butchery with the finest produce of local farmers and an updated version of a brewery restaurant. If you are reducing meat in your diet and want to only have high-quality meat on rare weekend occasions: This is the place to go! The variety of Viennese main courses (from Goulash and Sausages to Schnitzel) is complimented with some tender steak variations. And save some room for delicious desserts as well. Appealing to the locals and to visitors on the way to the leisure grounds of Prater, it is a culinary stop for many occasions: after-work beer, family reunion, or just an indulgence in good old Austrian Gemütlichkeit.
