Wiener schnitzel and beer is one of those pairings that just works. Crisp, golden cutlet and a clean, malty lager—the beer cuts through the richness and you keep going. At a proper Brauhaus you get both done right. More on Austrian food with beer and the Vienna Brewery Guide.
What to drink with it
Viennese lager or Märzen: toasty malt, clean finish, doesn’t fight the schnitzel. Zwickl works too. Details in our Viennese lager guide.
Where to get the combo
Fischerbräu in Döbling does Wiener Schnitzel and house-brewed Helles, Dunkles, and seasonal beers. Billrothstraße 17—lunch from noon at weekends, dinner every day they’re open. Reserve at busy times or just turn up.
