Located in the heart of the second district, Skopik & Lohn is New York bistro meets Viennese Gasthaus. Opening its doors in 2006, it has become a favourite for its seasonal and high quality food, friendly, knowledgeable and intuitive staff, its old world charm, and also for its Wiener Schnitzel.
The tables are covered in starched white tablecloths, cutlery is shined and the waiters wear white dinner coats. Stark black painted lines zig zag and swirl across the restaurant, making you feel like you’re in an art installation. It is a fabulous contrast to the traditional tables and chairs.
The Schnitzel at Skopik und Lohn has become the restaurant’s staple dish. At one point they even considered banishing the traditional dish from their menu, but there was such an outcry that the Schnitzel remained – a bit like the adult child you love but won’t move out.
Plus: make sure to call ahead for a reservation, the restaurant is popular and is often fully booked.
