Plachutta´s Neuer Markt

Plachutta’s Neuer Markt is the latest addition to Vienna’s most revered culinary dynasty. Opened in 2024, this branch brings the Plachutta philosophy into a more refined and centrally positioned setting, just steps from the city’s most iconic landmarks. While the original restaurant on Wollzeile is famed for its Tafelspitz, this newer location has become especially known for something even more iconic: the Wiener Schnitzel.

Here, the national dish of Austria is treated with the same meticulous care the family brand is known for. If you’re seeking the definitive Schnitzel experience in Vienna, this is one of the capital’s top contenders.

Of course, Tafelspitz still plays a role on the menu, and you’ll find it presented in the restaurant’s signature copper pots, just as it is at Wollzeile. But at Plachutta Neuer Markt, the focus leans subtly toward the Schnitzel – perhaps fitting, given its broader global recognition and visual appeal.

The Plachutta name was established by Ewald Plachutta, a chef, author, and culinary ambassador known for reviving and refining Viennese classics. His cookbooks are still considered essential reading for anyone interested in Austrian cuisine. Under his guidance and now continued by the next generation, the Plachutta restaurants have maintained their reputation for excellent food, and for preserving Vienna’s gastronomic heritage with integrity.

What sets Plachutta´s Neuer Markt apart is the location – on a historic square that was revitalized in recent years – offers proximity to the State Opera, Albertina, and Kärntner Straße. Despite being new, it feels immediately established – thanks to the strength of the Plachutta brand and the care taken in every detail.

Plachutta´s Neuer Markt is not a reinvention, but a thoughtful continuation. A modern chapter in a long and very Viennese story.
