Figlmüller Bäckerstraße
Vienna, Austria
The read// why locals go
Figlmüller's Bäckerstraße address serves the Wiener Schnitzel that made the name — plate-sized, pounded thin, golden to the edges. Wiener Schnitzel is a protected term in Austria: veal, breaded, fried in the way that produces that loose, blistered crust. Figlmüller built its reputation on a version large enough to overhang the plate, and this second address, a short walk from the original, does the same in the middle of the old town. Mains sit around €22. It is a landmark and a local occasion restaurant at once, which is a harder balance to hold than it looks.
