Goulasch Museum

Goulasch Museum

I found mention of this restaurant while surfing the Internet for information on Vienna and knew my goulash-loving sister would definitely want to visit. The restaurant serves over 20 kinds of goulash–pork, beef, turkey, horsemeat, chicken liver, and vegetarian--with prices averaging at 8€.

Located just a few blocks behind Stephansdom, the restaurant has indoor dining, which appeared rather cramped, and outdoor dining, which we opted for. Service was very slow, especially considering there weren’t many customers, and the waitress was rather brusque, but since it was our first night in Vienna, we took advantage of the time to visit. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you were in a hurry, but we were happy to people-watch and catch up on news from home while we waited for our food.

Bea ordered pork goulash, a combination of sauerkraut and shredded pork with cubed potatoes on the side. My turkey goulash had chunks of turkey and slivers of red and green pepper and was topped with a large dollop of sour cream and served with gnocchi. The food was good and portions were more than sufficient. We shared dessert–chocolate goulash, the house specialty. It was a warm biscuit topped with chocolate, nuts, whipping cream and rum–good, but definitely something that would be too rich for just one person.

Although goulash is the main focus, there were a few appetizers and other entrees on the menu, including the mixed grill. Be aware that rolls are brought to the table, but they are not included with the price of the meal; instead, there is a charge for each roll eaten.

After dinner, we walked to Stephansplatz to check out Stephansdom and the many little shops around the square. The easiest way to get here is to take the metro to the Stephansplatz stop. Schulerstrasse is a side street behind the church.
