Wiener Rathauskeller
Price: €26. Wine: €18.60
In the Teutonic world city halls have traditionally maintained basement restaurants. Even though this Rathaus was only built between 1871 and 1883 and the cellar restaurant was not added until 1899, Vienna’s city hall is no exception. It features 6 neo-Gothic rooms, still with all their original stained-glass windows with vaulted ceilings. Besides the usual Viennese dishes, the speciality here is the Rathauskellerplatte for 2, consisting of various veal, pork and lamb dishes. One portion of the cellar features a Viennese musical evening from 2000 hrs, featuring waltzes, operetta and Schrammel music. Closed on Sunday. Reservations are required.

Zwölf-Apostelkeller (Stadtheurigen) Price: €18. Wine: €2.25.
‘City Heurigen’ are generally located in the cellars of Vienna’s old monasteries and offer a taste of what the outlying wine taverns offer, for those who do not have the time to leave. In this one, parts of the ‘12 Apostles Cellar’ predate 1561, with wooden tables under lighting partially provided by streetlights set into the floor. The low prices do not detract from the quality of the traditional food, which includes goulash soup, meat dumplings and Schlachtplatte. As it is from the barrel rather than the bottle, which is common in a Heuriger, wine is sold by the quarter litre. There is music daily from 1830 hrs. Closed during July.
