Gasthaus Quell – gemütliche Gasthäuser

The Ur-Wirtshaus (Ur is a prefix put in front of words to emphasis them). Gasthaus Quell has a long and dignified and famed history for churning out some of the best Viennese Küche around, and for good reason. The centrepiece of the increasingly hip 15th district’s hippest street, people flock from miles around for the lashing of Gulasch they’ll get at Quell. Actually, you could pick anything from the menu and expect a food-gasm. The grub is just great.

The atmosphere inside is appropriately Beisl-like. It’s interior has more wood than a Norwegian pine forest and the décor wouldn’t have looked out of place in our nan’s house. What we really like about the place is that it manages to appeal to a young crowd, but remains utterly unpretentious. It also has a spectacular Schrebergarten, positioned on the street opposite a church where there are rarely any cars.
