👍🏽 - Edit
Viennese/Austrian cuisine is based on meat and dairy, which is why I had never tried many of our local dishes. I'm still not a fan of the local cuisine, but I am very impressed by Velani and will definitely go back again. Thank you Velani for giving me the opportunity to try dishes I should have grown up with.

Traditionelle Wiener Gerichte - vegan - Edit
Wir hatten das saisonale Kürbisgulasch mit Serviettenknödel - die besten Knödel die wir bisher testen durften! Die Firttatensuppe mit frischem Suppengemüse und Kartoffelpuffer mit Kräuterdip. War alles sehr köstlich! Wir kommen beim nächsten Wien Besuch auf jeden Fall wieder.

Verdiente 5 ⭐️ für diese vegane Auswahl - Edit
Typisch österreichisches Essen veganisiert. Das Essen hat sehr authentisch geschmeckt. Leider sind wir kurz vor Schluss gekommen und es blieb nur Zeit für eine Hauptspeise. Ich würde jedoch Zeit für noch mindestens eine Nachspeise empfehlen 😉

Never disappoints - Edit
Schnitzel, Filet Mignon, Spare Ribs, breaded and fried cheese, „beef“ tartare (eggplant-based), Gulasch, caraway roast,…. Over the years I had the pleasure to enjoy probably 80% of the menu and I was NEVER disappointed. This is hearty, mostly Austrian, cuisine, veganized with love.
Read moreEspecially the filet mignon is outstanding - it’s not always on the menu, so if it is, be sure to give it a go!
For my personal taste, the clear broths could use a bit more salt, but that’s not a reason at all to deduct a star😄

Wow! - Edit
Netter Ort, sehr nette Kellner*innen und vor allem verdammt gutes Essen. Eine vegane Auswahl an klassischen Österreichischen/Deutschen Speisen wie Zwiebelrostbraten mit Knödeln etc. die keine Wünsche mehr offen lässt. Vor allem die Auswahl an pflanzlichen Nachtischen hat mich wirklich sehr überzeugt. Für mich gab es Tiramisu.

Our experience was not keeping up with the best reviews - Edit
Great concept by making Austrian traditional food plant based, however the food is lacking. Viener schnietzel was OK at best, with the side order of potato salad very delicious. Fries just plain, nothing special. The gulasch with knodels was not good at all. Gulasch was mainly just tomato sauce with some platky stakes. Knodels were oily and stale.
Read moreWas disapointed when we left, especially for the price tag (50 EUR for two main dishes, two large lemonades, espresso and a side order of fries).
Either work on your food or lower your prices.
Pros: Staff, Toilettes, Variety of offered food
Cons: Ordered food, Too much oil

Delicious but extra pay for ketchup - Edit
We had the Wiener Schnitzel, the Cordon Bleu and the Kaiserschmarren. Everything was very tasty, but the breading on the schnitzel and cordon bleu crumbled off on the first cut.
Read moreUnfortunately, you had to pay extra for a little ketchup, despite the otherwise high prices.
Pros: Tasty
Cons: Extra pay for ketchup, Expensive
velani1120
Dear chiicoree! Thank you very much for the honest feedback and the good rating. We always try to maintain a fair price-quality ratio. Many of our meat substitute products are selfmade, like the Cordon Bleu. This extra quality leads to higher prices.

Have they not heard of salt? - Edit
We went here with high expectations. The menu and the pictures looked good, and there are so many good reviews. However, as soon as we got our food, we were very disappointed. It's as if they didn't put salt in their food. If this is a conscious decision of the chef, they should put that on the menu. But like this the food was just pretty bad. We wanted to like it, but just couldn't.
Read morePros: Lots of choice, Traditional austrian, Friendly staff
Cons: Lack of salt makes the food tasteless, Very busy (best to book a table), Kind of expensive
velani1120
Thanks for the honest feedback. You're right, since the WHO only recommends 5g of salt per day, but average consumption is far above this amount, we don't add much salt to our food. However, we always bring salt and pepper to the table upon request; after all, tastes differ. Re-salting is easy, but food that is too salty has to be returned. It's a pity that you didn't give us feedback during your visit, then we would have been happy to help you. Best regards, your Velani staff

It’s as authentic as you can get! - Edit
So if you are a lover of Viennese food, then this is a 5 star place. They did an outstanding job veganizing traditional Austrian food that I would
Read morefind quite hard to do at home. And as a veg who is curious about trying authentic food, I was eager to eat here. So why the 3 stars? Well because I don’t think I would like authentic Viennese food if I ate meat either. Nothing against the cuisine, it’s just lacking a bit in spice and flavor for me. But really, it’s great to try new foods so don’t let my review discourage you! Unless you are a spicy gal like me😄
velani1120
Thanks for the honest feedback. We are sorry that our cuisine did not quite meet your taste. And it's true, we're based on traditional Austrian cuisine, which isn't really spicy. But there are also "daring" dishes on our regularly changing special menus.

One of my favorite meals in Vienna - Edit
I really loved being able to try different traditional Austrian dishes made vegan. The menu has the classics and more and it was difficult to choose! The portions are huge and everything is well prepared. We ate a huge schnitzel with traditional potato salad and goulash with spätzle (like mini gnocchi) as well as sacher torte (chocolate apricot cake) and a traditional crepe with apricot jam to name a few and enjoyed all of it. Service was lovely too.
Read moreWe were so lucky to eat here before they temporarily closed while looking for a new chef. The food is definitely worth trying. They also have an eggnog (made of avocado) that is a must try if you drink alcohol. It tastes similar to what I remember eggnog tasted like.

Good Austrian food - Edit
I enjoyed the goulash with servietteknödels and the blood pudding dish both (the corner more than the latter). And eating real Austrian food was great. So I totally recommend this place. The atmosphere is pleasant enough but had room for improvement. The server was really positive. Air conditioning would have been nice, but that's true everywhere.
