Hi Chowhounders,

are there any pubs/bars/sportsbars that will show the live broadcast, even if it is really early..?
thanks for infos!
Beer

Beer

best regards!
Beer
hey,
no i dont work in marketing or anything like that :-D
i will be traveling to japan for the first time, and was just wondering what beers the locals would recommend..
i personally like beers that arent very bitter(like pilsener).. i prefer a lot of bubbles in it and i look for the refreshing factor in a beer, rather than being purerly taste oriented..
If I only had two meals in Vienna (end of March), where should I go?
also i want to mention one more restaurant:
Eckel. one of the "classics"
it is on sieveringerstrasse. i have many childhood memories of this restaurant and still go there once every two weeks. it has a long tradition and i must say it is one of the places where i NEVER had a bad meal.. if you order the same dish every time, for many years, it will always be exactly as you remember it. just perfect.
i suggest you try the "butterschnitzel mit erdäpfelpüree".. it is like a small meatloaf out of minced meat, with the most amazing mashed potatoes i have tasted anywhere.
also they were one of the first viennese places back in the day to offer fresh lobsters. they also have a nice garden for the warm days. the service is discrete and very attentive. you feel like in the 1920's.
-another note to Schweizerhaus, which i mentioned before: just so there is no misunderstanding: it is not haute cuisine or anything like that. and i have to say it has become more and more touristy in the last years(just like plachutta) but it still has great roast pork, and is very popular with the locals.. especially for saturdays and sundays, when you take your kids to the prater(luna park) and spend the day out in the green. it has a beergarden atmosphere, but i love the place for what it is.. just great crispy pork, amazing beer and an informal, relaxed atmosphere.
Asian, Indian, Latino restaurants in Vienna?
i realize this is an "older" thread, but i just discovered chowhound and registered today.
i would like to recommend a great japanese restaurant in vienna: En (in the first district, in werdertor gasse).. it is according to my japanese friends living in vienna, the most authentic japanese restaurant here.. it is quite pricy at night, but they have lunch menues wicht are fantastic for around 9-11 Euros. (consisting of soup, salad and a main dish (sushi or tenpura etc.).. very delicious food.
Beer
i just have a quick question concerning japanese beer:
most people have a favorite beer which they always order..
so which beer do you drink/recommend? and why?
saporro,kirin,asahi? are there other good ones?
thank you
Ueno
Dear Chowers,
i will be in japan next week.
we will stay in tokyo for 8 days from february 1st until 9th.
we are staying at "hotel edoya" in ueno.
obviously we will try some great places outside of ueno (we are planning on a sushi meal either at sukibayashi jiro or mizutani, we want to try Toriki for yaki tori etc.)
but i wanted to ask if you can recommend some places near Ueno or Asakusa for
-Ramen
-Tenpura
-Sushi
-Teppanyaki
?
they can be cheap or expensive, just as long as you think they are rally good and worth a visit.
if you have any other "must eats" for tokyo i would be glad for recommendations!
also one day we will head to tsukiji market in the morning, maybe you know a great place for nigiri near the market.
Thank You All!
If I only had two meals in Vienna (end of March), where should I go?
Hello
I am Viennese (born and raised)..
I have to agree with Sturmi about
"Gmoakeller"- very good foods, variety of typical viennese foods.. try the "zwiebelrost braten" veal with a yummy brown sauce covered in golden brown crispy onion shreds..accompanied by potatoes.- one of my favorites. best atmosphere of a typical wiener gasthaus.. friendly family owned restaurant.
I have to disagree about:
"steirereck"- it is rated as the top restaurant in vienna or basically of all austria. but i personally think it is way overpriced and i dont really like the style. you get many tiny courses which are absolutely great,no doubt, but it is a very "stuck up" place.. you get a "bread waiter" who offers like ten different breads and explains 5 minutes aubout each bread etc... just not a good atmosphere for my personal taste..but nonetheless very good food.
i would like to add a must-eat place:
"schweizer haus" - in the beautiful wiener prater.. i have to admit it is a super rustic place.. basically Loads of great beer (czech budvar) from the tap, and the crispiest, most delicious, "schweins stelzen"(pork thighs).. you eat those with little extras like pickled onions, horserasish and mustard.. and some bread.. the pork skin is just amazingly crispy/salty/delicious. and the beer goes down well with it.
i would recommend you visit a typical "heurigen" - these restaurants are in the beautiful old district of "grinzing" and they serve their own white wine and great rustic viennese cuisine (schnitzel, meats with kraut and knödel, schinkenfleckerl etc.)
a really good heurigen is "feuerwehr wagner" on grinzingerstrasse.
another great one is "haselbrunner" also in the19th district..(beautiful garden to enjoy your wine and food)
if you want to experience tafelspitz, you should try "plachutta", there are two "plachutta" restaurants in vienna. both are exceptionally good. but more on the expensive side.
