Based on 4,611 reviews

Zur Alten Kaisermühle is frequently praised for its charming location by the Alte Donau, featuring a scenic outdoor garden and terrace that enhances the dining experience. Reviewers consistently highlight the high quality of the food, particularly the grilled fish and barbecue offerings, complimenting the chef’s skill. The atmosphere is noted as excellent, with a relaxing ambiance by the water. Service receives mixed feedback; while many find staff friendly and attentive, some point to occasional lapses in professionalism and slower response times during busy periods. Additionally, limited vegetarian options are a common observation, though available choices are generally well-prepared. Overall, the restaurant is appreciated for its picturesque setting and flavorful cuisine, with service being an area for potential improvement to match the quality of the dining experience.

Fantastic outside garden with views of Alte Donau. This place has a proper barbecue and the grilled fish was amazing. Service was great too, thank you!

Quite nice restaurant close to Alte Donau. First impression was strange because of the ‘front door hostess’ () who thought she is the COO at least or something (but only rude and unprofessional). All the other stuff was kind. Delicious food and drinks, congrats Chef Nice terrace with view.

Really nice, everyone enjoyed their food, limited vegetarian options would be the only negative but still some options available and what I ordered was good.

Love the atmosphere of this restaurant! Service was so-so. I did have to get up to find the waiter to order dessert because he brought us the menu and then we waited probably close to 20 minutes. Otherwise the food was AMAZING!

The food was just exceptionally delicious. The weather was nice and the ambient was fantastic. Great place to have a nice meal in summer. Making a reservation was also easy and I recommend via phone call rather than an email. The lady I spoke to was friendly and speaks proper English. It's also a family friendly place as they have a mini playground for the little ones.

I was at this restaurant twice during my stay in Vienna (5 days), let's start with the wonderful service I received, the staff is well trained and provides the best level of service. I must note that the two times I was at the restaurant I did not make a reservation and got a table after 2-3 minutes, I arrived at lunchtime. The food is very tasty and I enjoyed tasting delicacies from Austrian cuisine, the food arrived very quickly and the portions were large and satisfying. I would be happy to return to the restaurant in the future and hope to see the high level I received now.

We ordered Spareribs and Wiener Schnitzel, and they were absolutely amazing—truly outstanding and incredibly delicious. The schnitzel was fresh, crispy, and authentically Austrian, while the ribs were incredibly fresh and well-marinated. The beer was good as well. For dessert, we had Crème Brûlée and Kaiserschmarrn. I had tried the crème brûlée here before, and it was much more delicious and flawless back then. This time, the sugar on top wasn’t properly caramelized and remained soft. However, the Kaiserschmarrn was good and is a traditional dessert here. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The tip was already included in the bill. The prices are relatively high compared to other Austrian restaurants, likely due to the location, service, and food quality. The space is large and comfortable, and in the summer, you can sit outside and enjoy the view of the Danube River.
