Queuing is almost inevitable at Figlmuller during lunch and dinner due to the no reservations policy. And so we waited in line with everybody else; Americans, Japanese, Chinese, English, Australian but no Austrians...
Service was fast and efficient once we got seated and looking at the size of the schnitzel from neighboring tables it was huge! The so-called "Figlmuller" schnitzel was twice the size of the plate it was served. We ordered that and also the chicken Schnitzel to share.
After trying the Figlmuller Schnitzel I can honestly say it is a tourist rip-off. Yes they definitely have the biggest schnitzel in Vienna and if not the world... but it was very dry and definitely not crispy.
The Chicken Schnitzel's size was a lot smaller and fared a lot better both in flavor and texture. It was moist and the batter was actually quite crispy.
We weren't the only ones that were unhappy with our meal as other tables too had trouble chowing down the huge but rather ordinary Figlmuller Schnitzel. And for 14.50 Euros this was definitely a rip off. No wonder there wasn't any locals eating here.
