Welcome
Welcome to the Wiener—the place where hospitality and cuisine have been at home in the capital for over 40 years!
Hermanngasse 27a in the 7th district is not just a restaurant, but a place full of tradition and passion for gastronomy. Here, every visit is not just a culinary experience, but a journey through the rich history and unique atmosphere that gives guests unforgettable moments.
Hannes, host and legendary figurehead of the Wiener, is an absolute master of his trade. He has been delighting his guests with unrivalled charm and tireless dedication for decades. Hannes and his team always manage to inspire and enchant their guests as they did on the first day. Because the Wiener is not just about excellent food and drink. It’s about personalised service and the little details that make all the difference.
Stop by and let us spoil you. Whether you’re looking for a cosy evening for two, a business dinner or a celebration with friends—you’ve come to the right place at the Wiener. “Auf Wiedersehen”—in most restaurants it’s just the usual farewell greeting, but for our guests it’s a promise.
The history
The Wiener has been reinventing itself again and again for over 40 years—and yet it always remains what it was from day one: Vienna’s most legendary pub.
Unfortunately, it is not known what the first guest ordered at the Wiener. Only one thing is almost certain: it must have tasted excellent! What once began as an insider tip in Hermanngasse 27a quickly developed into an absolute magnet for guests thanks to its excellent cuisine and unmistakable ambience—and remains so to this day.
The fact that Hermanngasse in the 7th district is home to a culinary jewel with a special flair quickly spread throughout the local art scene. And so the Viennese restaurant became a second living room for countless Austropop stars. Wolfgang Ambros enjoyed the Schinkenfleckerl and Wiener Schnitzel just as much in 1980 as Christina Stürmer did 30 years later. Then as now, you don’t just go to the Wiener to eat—you spend a cosy evening with friends here.
The owner Hannes—a legend of the local catering scene—is responsible for the restaurant’s decades-long success. His passion for good food and dedication to his profession can be felt in every detail of his restaurant and make the Wiener a place where wonderful memories are created. Together with his excellent service team and the kitchen team of head chef Andreas Wallnöfer, who has also been providing culinary highlights with his skill and creativity for more than four decades, Hannes guarantees his guests a gastronomic experience that is unrivalled not only in the Austrian capital.
It is therefore not surprising that many restaurants have already tried to copy the Viennese chef’s recipe for success. But anyone who has ever been to Hermanngasse 27a knows that there is only one original—and that won’t change for a very long time…

In Memoriam Pierre
Shortly before Christmas 2021, we had to bid farewell to our friend Pierre. The legendary “Wiener” boss passed away much too early after a severe illness at the age of just 56. Together with Hannes, he ran the “Wiener” for almost 25 years with tireless dedication and passion.
Pierre was not only an outstanding restaurateur, but above all a modest and wonderful person. His unassuming manner behind and in front of the bar created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the “Wiener” the unique place it is, earning the loyalty of our guests for decades. His creativity and dedication shaped the “Wiener” and turned it into a culinary gem of the city.
Pierre’s life and work was characterised by deep respect and love for his guests and employees. He leaves behind a void that no one can fill. Our thoughts and condolences go out especially to his beloved partner Elke and his family.
Servus, dear friend, we miss you – and thank you for everything!
