Plachutta on Wollzeile is the restaurant that established Tafelspitz as a serious Viennese dining destination when Ewald Plachutta opened it in 1989. Tafelspitz is beef rump simmered in bone broth until tender, served in copper pots with roesti, chive sauce, and apple-horseradish. Emperor Franz Joseph ate it for lunch daily, and Plachutta is now where visitors go to understand why. Approximately EUR 30-35 for Tafelspitz. Book ahead. U3 to Stubentor; Wollzeile is a 5-minute walk from Stephansdom.
