Gasthaus Sonnblick

Welcome

Fine Viennese cuisine

In the heart of Vienna's city center, we have been combining Austrian inn tradition with contemporary culinary art for over 125 years.

Our kitchen focuses on regional ingredients from selected producers, seasonal inspiration, and the attention to detail that our guests have appreciated for generations.

Family-owned since 1923

What began in 1923 as a small inn at the foot of the Sonnblick, we now run in the third generation with unchanged passion. Traditional Viennese recipes meet fresh, regional ingredients — every schnitzel hand-breaded, every sauce made from a traditional family recipe. Warmth and genuine hospitality are our top priorities.
