Ottoburg Review

This family-run restaurant offers excellent food and an extraordinary location. This ancient landmark, built in 1180 as city watchtower, conveys an abundance of historical charm. It's fun just to explore the rabbit warren of paneled rustic rooms named after emperors. Several of the bay-window alcoves in the shuttered house have great views of the main square, while others overlook the river. Try the Tafelspitz, a typical Viennese specialty of boiled beef served with vegetables and horseradish, or the Pfandl, a fillet of pork and a steak served in an old-fashioned pan. On a sunny day come early to get a table outside
