Restaurant Lugeck – Figlmüller dynasty in Vienna

VaniVanity_Restaurant Lugeck

Finally a new chapter in the traditionell cuisine in Vienna. 

The restaurant Lugeck is located in the 1st district of Vienna. With this restaurant, the Figlmüller brothers are opening a new chapter in the long history of Viennese taverns. The “Figlmüller dynasty” – as I like to call them – now owns 8 different restaurants in Vienna. Lugeck is the modern interpretation of classic Austrian cuisine in a light and modern way. Coziness and good food are the focus here.

The overall appearance of the restaurant is different this time than at the other Figlmüllers locations. Although it is in a beautiful historic building that has its own story and could tell it, the focus here is on something completely different. Lightness and comfort. And you stand right in front of the Lugeck restaurant and the first thing you see is probably the largest entrance portal in Vienna. And as soon as you walk through it, you see a surprise. Because everything is very bright and friendly. Completely untypical for traditional restaurants in Vienna. Bright colors in turquoise and beige. And a successful interplay of different materials.

Not only is the building huge, but so is the menu at the restaurant Lugeck. There is an incredibly large selection of dishes, whether classic or newly interpreted. There is something for everybody. There is the traditional menu and a special menu, which varies again and again. There you can find unusual ideas or seasonal dishes. Definitely worth a try.

No matter which restaurant I go to in Vienna, I just love trying their beef tartare. Because it shows at first glance, before you have even tried it, what kind of quality is on offer in the restaurant. And as you can see in our case, it paid off every time. I ordered the classic beef tartare with toast and butter.

For the main course, I chose a schnitzel, which is typical for a tavern. The Lugeck restaurant is the “daughter restaurant” of the original restaurant Figlmüller, which is considered the inventor of the schnitzel in Austria. And the Wiener Schnitzel is made from veal and is eaten with a potato salad. As another classic, we also ordered the Viennese fried chicken with potato and cream cucumber salad. And as a new interpretation for us, we simply had to try the glazed veal liver with potato puree and boskop apple (the best kind of apple). DELICIOUS!

What would a visit to the pub be without a beer? It may be that many people don’t like this drink, but for me it’s just part of it. And apparently not just for me because the Lugeck restaurant offers its own brewed beer. Balanced and tasty. Incredibly delicious. Of course, the Lugeck Restaurant also offers other drinks. There is something for everyone and no one has to be thirsty.

The Lugeck restaurant is really a nice change from the old restaurants in Vienna. It embodies traditional Viennese cuisine with today’s modernity. Just perfect. The food was delicious, the service was friendly (yes there are friendly waiters in Vienna), and the entire ambience made it something special. So for anyone who wants to take a new look at Viennese cuisine, the Lugeck restaurant is ideal
