The story
Meixners Gastwirtschaft in Vienna has served authentic Viennese cooking since 1981. Janette and Alexander Civic assumed control in late 2022 to preserve that foundation. Executive chef Daniel Hetzmannseder now steers the brigade alongside sous chef Daniel Diekmann, securing a 12.5 rating from Gault&Millau.
Traditional Austrian kitchen staples anchor the daily menu with Grammelknödel, beef roast, and tripe soup. Roasted goose and Osttiroler Schlipfkrapfen rotate with the seasons. Handmade crepes accompany century old dessert recipes while regional natural wines pour alongside aged spirits.
Guests step into a straightforward dining room built for extended conversations. A partitioned section named the Stüberl holds twenty five guests for quiet gatherings. Hosts prepare custom tasting menus for parties of ten or more. Veteran servers navigate the floor to maintain steady service throughout busy shifts.

History
Popular Austrian classics have been served at the gasthaus in Buchengasse since 1981. In 2022, Janette and Alexander Civic took over the establishment – and thus also the life's work of the Meixners. Dishes such as tripe, roast beef, Grammelknödel, Malakoff cake made grandmother-style, and crepes were kept on the menu, while increased influences from the Alpine-Adriatic region have taken root. Seasonal offerings feature roast goose and mushroom dishes. “Meixners und Freunde” specials such as the “Italian Summer Solstice” are available with a tasting menu.
