Muvamo Opinion

Honored with the Muvamo Award for Vienna’s finest Tafelspitz – tender boiled beef served in a rich broth with classic sides like apple horseradish and chive sauce, a true cornerstone of Viennese cuisine.

Vienna is a city of stories, and Plachutta Stammhaus Hietzing is one of its finest storytellers. Located in the Hietzing district, this restaurant doesn’t just serve food – it serves history, tradition, and a spoonful of culinary magic.

The star of the menu here is, of course, the Tafelspitz, a boiled beef – a dish that embodies Austrian tradition and Plachutta has perfected it. When your meal arrives in a bubbling copper pot, it feels like a small ceremony. The beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender and comes with a clear, savoury broth that keeps every bite light. If you’re not in the mood for Tafelspitz (though we’d say you have to try it once), the Wiener Schnitzel here is equally outstanding.

What we love most about Plachutta is its attention to tradition. Everything from the presentation to the service is steeped in Viennese culinary culture.

It’s under a five-minute walk from Schönbrunn Palace, so you can drop in right after touring the palace grounds or before catching an evening event at the Orangery. The U4 Hietzing station is just around the corner, putting the restaurant about fifteen minutes from the city center by subway.

Helpful Hints

We highly recommend to reserve a table in advance.

Ask your server for recommendations on how to enjoy the Tafelspitz if it’s your first time.
