Bistro Vienna - Hamburg

Charming and cosy restaurant in a nice neighborhood. Service was excellent. The food was superb. I definitely recommend it.

My son picked this restaurant for his birthday celebration but on the first try we missed out on a seat and had to return a few days later. You can't book so you need to be there by 6:30pm or you face a long wait at the bar for a seat. The food is excellent so the squashy nature of the seating can be forgiven. The cuisine is Modern European and is of high quality. Service is good and friendly. People go there for quality food and sit and stay all evening.

This is a true gem of a restaurant. Tiny locale with lots of atmosphere in a quiet neighborhood in student area of Hamburg. We had to wait to be seated together with others. Meanwhile enjoyed a terrific Riesling. Finally sitting down we had to wait a long time for food, but it was worth while and there is plenty going on in the restaurant. Not quiet or dead!! The food was just perfect. Terrific dorade starter. Wonderful Wienerschnitzel and beef main and rhubarb crumble desert. This place is a secret worth looking up and enjoying!

I went here with some German friends who live in Hamburg. This is a tiny restaurant but obviously so popular that people (including us) were happy to wait (a considerable time) at the bar for a table to come free. The food was fantastic, the service was incredibly cheerful despite the crush of people, the bill ridiculously inexpensive for the quality of cooking and wine. I will be back next time I'm in Hamburg. Top tip - to get a table quickly arrive before 7.15!

The restaurant was crowded and cheerful; we got a small table between other couples. We had Wildkraftbrühe mit Blutwursttascherln and Wiener Schnitzel mit Agurken- und Kartoffelsalat, and a bottle of Austrian wine. Genuine Austrian fare. Not the most exotic dishes on the menu, and not much waiter attention either. When I asked for a glass of red wine, I got a glass of red wine - the tired waiter didn't bother to ask what kind or how much (he had been very informative when the next table asked for a glass).It turned out that they did not accept my VISA card. When they invited my German-born girlfriend to try her VISA card at the counter, they were slightly patronizing. We will not be back.
