Gasthaus Pöschl

Gasthaus Pöschl sits on Weihburggasse in the 1. Bezirk and runs the classical Viennese Wirtshaus format at the central postcode without lapsing into the tourist-trap register that destroys most central addresses. The kitchen does the canon — Tafelspitz with apple horseradish, Wiener Schnitzel from veal, Tafelspitz with marrowbone, Powidltascherl for dessert — at honest portion sizes and honest prices. The room is small, white-tablecloth, family-run, the wine list focused on small Austrian growers. Regulars use Pöschl for the classical Viennese lunch that does not require the formality of Plachutta or the Sacher dining room — the everyday version of the same kitchen.
