Fischer's in City of London, Westminster

Rock solid, wonderful Austrian food and surroundings. It was my first visit, but it won't be my last as there is a great menu and wine list to be adventured.

love the pretentiousness of the hostess, the restaurant was half empty, took a look at me and told me they were full.

In the recent couple of months i have visited both for brunch and dinner. The fiood is invariably very tasty, well prepared and served competently. The service is truly exceptional. The Vienna atmoshere works very well as the setting is unique. The only slighly negative is teh price and taste of the espresso.

Stopped by for breakfast on a friend’s recommendation and absolutely loved their eggs Benedict! The service was spot on. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in London.

Best schnitzel I’ve ever had. Great beer and great sosig

Minus one star due to prices. Food was very good, ambience was excellent and the service also very good (special thanks to Aris, our waiter, for his politeness, professionalism and friendly attitude). Definitely recommended but difficult to become a frequent option for a meal out due to prices.

A wonderful discovery thanks to my daughter, this Austrian type restaurant/ brasserie is full of flavours and images that takes you back in time. Great welcome by GM on a busy Saturday night, table ready in a wink, waiter remember the order without writing it down, and he gave us very good suggestions. Food is traditional with specialties, wine list is appealing. I recommend the sausages (make a mix said the waiter) with sauerkraut, taste the Austrian white or red wine you won’t be disappointed. Apple strudel is mandatory as a desert. Take a tour to the rest rooms, it’s like a tour in the Orient Express train. Enjoy

I’d heard about this place for a while, but it actually exceeded my expectation. Lovely food, great staff, perfect location. Had the chicken schnitzel which was amazing and some herring selection to start. Lovely. Will be back.

Fischers on Marylebone High Road is London’s Best Kept secret, a beautiful restaurant that made us feel like we were back in Vienna, lovely professional friendly staff, we were served by Antony who could not have done more to make us feel comfortable and nothing was too much trouble, the food was definitely Michelin star and absolutely mouth watering, the cocktails and wine were superb and to finish off we had Apple Strudel and a very smooth Viennese coffee. Thank you to you all at Fischers we will be booking again very soon 😁☕️

favourite place in the neighbourhood for brunch/dinner. Best known for schnitzel! And definitely Go for dessert!

Refined Austrian restaurant for classic Austrian dishes! Make sure you have a booking even at an odd time, because this place is always busy! From the outside, it seems like a small little place at the end of Marlybone High Street, but it's actually quite spacious inside. It gives off old timey, wooden, but still bright and light atmosphere. Food wise, we went for a classic veal schnitzel and a side of kasespatzle. Both were delicious. The schnitzel was perfectly crispy on the outside and the berry compote was perfect as a topping.

Got a takeaway coffee. Was overpriced and not good unfortunately. The staff were nice though and the cafe itself is quite cute.

Warm coffee. Poached eggs were not runny. Cold toast.

Fabulous Viennese restaurant on Marylebone serving traditional German dishes. The black forest cake and apple strudel were both excellent.

The host and hostess wouldn’t place me or my guest on the wait list while they played a white couple next to us on it. Would never recommend

Great food, great staff and service

This spot is nice for a casual night out with good consistent quality food at reasonable pricing it is essential to make a reservation

Very happy, tad expensive but good quality food.

Lovely venue, dirty plates and cup, schnitzel was great but the Käse Spätzle was some of the worst I’ve ever been served embarrassing quality for a restaurant at this price point. Great venue.

This traditional restaurant is in an achingly cool.and upmarket area of London. However £17.50 for a 125ml glass of Whispering Angel is outrageous!! I can afford it but that's a hideous mark up. Great food and service, but they add a £3.00 cover charge which I assume was for the very small basket of ordinary bread. Also added 15.5% service charge. We had a table at 6pm.when it was quiet , we left at 8pm by which time very busy and noisy.

If you’ve been to Vienna, this is more expensive, worse service and mediocre Austrian food. Nowhere near as polite as in Austria. If this was in Vienna, I’d call the food mediocre. Would not come back.

The best dining experience I've had in a long time. Wonderful service and delicious food. I had the chicken schnitzel with a wine sauce followed by the strudel. I hope to go back again for a future special occasion.

Lovely atmosphere and great variety of dishes to choose from. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Great place to try for a treat.

Excellent restaurant, a true taste of 🇦🇹🇩🇪

Lovely atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food. Can’t fault. Calm environment and attractive decor that feels modern but an old fashioned twist. Staff friendly and no pressure to leave. Spent about 3.5 hours over lunch with sensitive and timely service. Food was lovely and fresh. Will definitely be back to try more.

Beautiful place High prices Good for coffee and cake. The food was Average - we had the hot dogs & the soup - not reccomend. The strudel was fantastic

Fantastic. One of my favourites in London. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, fabulous food, and friendly staff. Surprised us with a birthday treat. It's like being in Vienna. Love it.

Fantastic Lunch today , the team were so accommodating with my elderly father, food was delicious and the restaurant decor is beautiful

Had the bacon roll. It is amazing.

Excellent food! The goulash and the scallops were delicious. The restaurant has a very distinct interior.

I have been here more than once... The wild boar goulash consisted of 5 pieces of "meat". 3 of the 5 pieces of meat were pieces of fat and fat only. Simply large pieces of fat. This is the second time now that the wild boar goulash was mostly plain forward fat with a tasty sauce and delicious pasta. That is not the level of food which was served in the past. Apologies for the negative review but this was just too awful. The service is great. The ambience is great, but the food... Nein, Nein, Nein.

The cheesecake is outstanding, and the salad is delightful. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. However, occasionally forgets the initial order and may ask for it again, so it's best to visit when they're not too busy.

We were served by a very accommodating waitress called Sanyogita. The Käsespätzle is a must have and the Wild Mushroom Stroganoff was exceptional. Plenty of options for vegetarians.

This was like sitting in a restaurant in Vienna, the decor and ambience is fabulous. The staff are so friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, had to have the schnitzel and there is an excellent choice of desserts, Strudel won, superb. The restaurant is only a ten minutes walk from Baker Street Station. If you sit under the air con it can get a bit cool.

The Best Austrian Restaurant in London by Far. Alessandra and Pier are always Wonderfull. Congratulations for All FISCHERS TEAM.

Service was very smart. We were here for a late lunch. I had a very pleasant beetroot and goat cheese salad. I also a a bit of chicken schnitzel, which was exceedingly good. For desert we shared a banana foster flambe - absolutely superb.

We asked for a table by the window. The decor tries to be old fashioned with stuffed heads of dead boars and deer on the ceiling, yellow ceramic tiles and lots of old looking paintings hung up across the room. The staff seems overwhelmed and I had to call them over to get attention. One of us had the schnitzel which was good, the other had chicken which was rather small and hard to eat (bones) but tasted fine. The potato salad was tasty. The ice cream with peaches was disappointing. Overall a decent lunch.

Used to be a regular, but the price feels like it's gone too far north. £150 for two schnitzel (the chicken one was also extremely tough), sharing two little sides, two deserts and two glasses of riesling is too much. 15% service charge is also just too much. Used to love Fischers but the price point is becoming too hard to justify.

I expected more considering it’s listed as one of London’s best Austrian restaurants. The food was distinctively average. We both had the Chicken Snitchzel which was very average. Far too crisp and tough. The decor is nice. The service was over familiar and we had to wait the best part of 10 mins for a menu. The server had a distinct approach as though they were doing us a favour. There are nicer places to eat for higher quality food and experience.

I was given a birthday Fischer's gift voucher so booked a mid week lunch table. Everything was perfect and the Himmel und Erde starter one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. Great Austrian decor and cheerful atmosphere. Spotless toilets (these things matter!) Service was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be returning!

First time at Fischers and a great experience. Fab food. I had Chopped Liver and pickles followed by Sausage selection with sauerkraut potato salad and onions. Typical Austrian food washed down with Weiss beer. Service also very good and a great looking typical restaurant. Would definitely go back. Need to book for a great night out. A little alternative maybe but still a great choice. 😁

Lovely meal with polite service. Schnitzel was an absolute delight. Kaiserschmarrn a little over-caramelised or would have been the full five stars all around. Really lovely place in which to eat.

Excellent service and great atmosphere. They're well known for their schnitzel and it doesn't disappoint, but other items felt a bit underwhelming. It was a great experience nonetheless, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to try a taste of Austria.

Austrian food the mushroom stroganoff was great. Leek and beetroot pitivier should be puff pastry as short crust makes it heavy. Wine prices are eye watering.

Beautiful restaurant with great service without a hint of attitude, even without a reservation. The food was delicious and expertly prepared. While I highly recommend the restaurant overall, I felt the £38 price point for the wiener regular with an egg was slightly excessive

Menu and food quality a cut above most, service impeccable.

New maitre d' and staff excellent. Its still Mittel Europe still increasingly expensive but less enjoyable. Just been again for lunch not as good as before standards are slipping and the service charge was 15,% ridiculous

Incredible atmosphere and food!!! Sanyogita and Pierre were absolutely lovely and delivered incredible service. Definitely coming back here again with my work colleagues.

Food ok. Unfortunately the manageress was a total inflexible rule follower. We brought some small helium balloons for a birthday and at first were told couldn't bring them in. Sadly a "computer says no" attitude prevails, and without manners. Shame as the wait staff were lovely.

I've been several times in this nice restaurant, always pleasant experience but yesterday i had keiserschmarrn, i was so happy cause i grown up in Sudtirol and i had this dessert many many times, and i was really surprised by the dessert called Keiserschmarrn they serve at Fischer, they overcooked the pieces of pancake in the butter, they were caramelized and eavily attached to the pan...with a lot of cherries compote, too much.....i'm sorry but this is not keiserschmarrn!!!

Perfect food, very friendly personnel,many thanks...

Always always a pleasure to eat here and enjoy being looked after my the nicest, kindest staff. A big thank you to ANTHONY, this guys knows all the menu and the cocktails, is always cheerful and made my American visitors feel really welcome. He is a great credit to this beloved restaurant :)

Great interior feel - although we sat outside. Old Viennese feel. Friendly staff, quite expensive for relatively small portions - but a pleasant experience overall.

Beautiful restaurant. Awesome food. Very polite service. Loved it. Will come again.

This had been recommended to us by friends who learned of my husband's love of Schnitzels! We arrived a little early for our booking and were sat at a lovely corner table with a great view of the whole restaurant. The decor is kitsch and cute, but not for those offended by hunting trophies! We we brought a basket of rye breads with whipped paprika butter. The breads were delicious but we were mindful of the next course so we're very restrained! For drinks, I had a Grapefruit Fizz mocktail and hubby had a low alcohol pear drink.... I've forgotten the name, but something to do with a monk! Mains obviously were Schnitzels, we both went for veal. I had the small and hubby the regular and we opted for one with "jus" (gravy) and one with ligonberry sauce. We both added the Holstein option (fried egg, capers and anchovies). Spatzle (noodles), carrots and pickled cucumber were our sides. The food arrived quickly and was very nicely presented. Schnitzels were thin, crispy and golden, just as they should be. Personally I found the noodles a little bland (I guess noodles generally are!!😄), but hubby assured me they were great. I enjoyed the pickled cucumber which was tangy and crunchy. The carrots were cooked with hazelnuts and made a tasty side. I found the egg / caper / anchovy extra rather distracting from the veal so shoved that over to hubby's plate who was very happy with that! The jus was so full of flavour: rich and creamy whilst the ligonberry sauce added a pleasant sharpness. No puddings as just too full, but they looked amazing... Next time! Our bill came to £131, so definitely not a cheap eat. The restaurant charges a cover charge per person and 15% service charge. Really good meal and a nice treat.

Excellent food and service. The Holstein schnitzel is truly to die for, and given the reputation of food from this part of the world, was not heavy at all. Pair the schnitzel with a cucumber salad and walk away almost guilt free 😁. The sachertorte was also extremely good as was my friends strudel.

I had heen here a few weeks ago and it was excellent so I made a booking on Opentable last night for 7:15 to take my partner to try it out. This time however, we were met by an extremely rude host, I didn't catch his name but he had short, maybe ginger hair and a light beard and a feminine voice and was in a foul mood. I greeted him respectfully and said that we had reservations for two people that I booked on opentable, gave him my name three times because for some reason he kept getting it wrong. After finally getting my name right, he says "no booking" even after showing him the email confirmation and the opentable confirmation. Not, sorry I can't find your booking let me see what I can do, just "no booking". Now I don't know what crawled into this guy yesterday but I have never in my time living in London received such a hostile welcome. If I was not with my partner I would have pulled him aside and brought the manager over to educate him on how to speak to customers. Eventually after having to ask the host if he can do anything about a table, he lets out a huge sigh as if I just asked him to move heaven and earth and offers us a table if we can be out by 8:30, to which we accept and proceed to be taken to our table. The food was subpar, the wiener schnitzel was not seasoned and not crispy as it usually is. This experience was night and day compared to just weeks ago, all due to the host treating us horrendously. Will not be returning again, I would recommend retraining this individual to speak to people properly, especially paying customers. Part 2: A manager contacted me and offered for us to return for dinner on them, I accepted and am updating my review with my second experience. The experience we had the second time around was like night and day to the negative dinner I had previously. We were greeted by cheery staff who wanted us to be thrre. Albeit the second experience is tainted by thr fact the manager told his staff to treat us like VIP's, in this case I suppose the ends justify the means. The staff were especially kind and helpful to myself and my guest. We enjoyed the starters and the schnitzel was alright, albeit completely unseasoned. The negative experience was handled very well by management who really did want to remedy the situation. 10/10 work by management in reaching out and apologizing and inviting us back to dine.

A Viennese cafe which turns customers away because they wanted dessert and coffee instead of a starter. It’s such a shame, I used to take friends here. Not anymore.

Great restaurant on maryleborne street. The atmosphere is great the. The staff is friendly and the food is great too

Excellent service, lovely atmosphere. Chicken schnitzel tasty but a bit dry, the delicious rich gravy saved it though. Great sauerkraut here.

If you want a proper Wiener schnitzel, this is the place. Lots of other things that come from Austria. Take the trip 🤗👍

Surely one of our fav places to go for food any time of the day wether for brunch, lunch or late diners. The service has not disappointed us once. As Austrian nationality, we are used to high standards when it comes to choosing an upscale place to eat. Food is Austrian inspired - versatile venue covers a wide range of the main dishes back home. Only criticism is that the original baked cheese cake is no longer available, just a very poor version of uncooked / u baked American version of cheesecake. We like ours baked and a bit burnt just like a creme brulee burnt on the cheese;)

We had a wonderful experience here. Great service and delicious food.

Over priced and the food is unhygiene. Touching the food at the same time her hair and u get ill by eating this food! If u really care ur healthy! Refused toilet for strangers

Lovely staff, great food, and interior decor was on point

Lovely meal in a traditional and cosy restaurant. We took a risk and ordered traditional dishes and were very happy

Traditional Austrian food at its best

Excellent food, servers a little unhelpful did not explain the options much and the noise level inside did not help. Pricey.

Great atmosphere and interior but the food was pretty average considering the price. Service was fine but 15% service charge is taking the Pissarro. Very cheeky. I asked to bring it back to 10% which is not what you want to do at the end of a meal.

Very amenable and friendly environment and atmosphere but don't expect quick or efficient service. My Wiener Schnitzel was excellent and everyone else liked their food, but it was slow to arrive. Water had to be requested a couple of times and the server did not figure out how to obtain dessert orders from everyone, actually forgetting to get them from two of our party of five and they automatically add a 15% service charge to the bill. My cappuccino was very good.

I had an early dinner here with a friend in early May 2024. We were both delighted with the restaurant. We had a warm welcome and shown to a nice table even though we didn’t have a reservation. The food was tasty and nicely presented with attention to detail. The interior of the restaurant has a real old Viennese feel to it. We had the salmon starter and pollock main with the apple strudel for dessert and coffees. It’s a premium experience so I would go as a treat for special occasions.

Came in on crutches with a leg injury, staff were very accommodating to show me to my seat and then take my crutches so they are not in the way during dinner. Staff were always close on hand to bring my crutches to me if I wanted them for any reason. Food was delicious, I was left speechless by the Mushroom Stroganoff. The Borsch soup I had for starters was fantastic as well. Fantastic staff, food, and atmosphere feels as though you’ve stepped back into mid-century Vienna. Two great clocks, one on the building’s exterior and another inside the dining area. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful restaurant. What a pleasant surprise. Decor is enveloping and immersive. Service polite, reserved and prompt. Food is of the highest standard and reminiscent of my trips to Austria and Germany. Thank you Fischer’s we had a fabulous evening here with friends who were equally impressed. Top marks.

This stylish little Austrian restaurant tucked away in a nice part of London is well worth a visit. The food is authentic and the portion plentiful. I’ve had both breakfast and dinner here and have really enjoyed it on both occasions. The decor feels like 19th century Viennese style with dark oak and brass pannelling. Staff are friendly and attentive and happy to help (they stored my bag and charged my phone). I recommend the muesli for breakfast with any of their coffees (I’ve tried them all and they were excellent) and the Wiener Schnitzel with Holstein for dinner. Highly remember for something a bit different in London. Recommend making a reservation in advance.

What a place to go to for a meal. Great service, wide range of foods on the menu, and a very special atmosphere. I couldn’t recommend it more.

We have been here before several times with a great experience. This time the service was awful. Forty five minutes for a drink, two and a half hours to get to a second course. The attitude of the serving staff was truly terrible and the food often lukewarm. We will not be going here again.

A remarkable survivor of old Austria in the heart of London. The splendid interior tends more to Alpine kitsch than Viennese charm. We stopped for coffee and cake but it is so popular as a lunch spot that we were given a table for 30 minutes. We were also required to leave our ‘phone number “in case we leave anything” - apparently this happens all the time but seemed a bizarre request that we’ve never had before. Given the quick turnaround target, service was still incredibly lackadaisical. The coffee and food, however, were excellent. But the bill, when it arrived, included 15% service, which seemed a bit presumptuous. Even in Vienna, service is discretionary and not included. Having sampled its delights, I doubt we will be hurrying back.

Quickly entered our "best in London" list! The atmosphere is lovely, with wood furniture and an elegant yet welcoming outlook. The waiters are all super kind and well prepared. The good is AMAZING! We had the ham as a starter, followed by the schnitzel with a tomato salad and the trout. Finally, the unmissable strudel! Loved every single dish!

Great Austrian food and atmosphere backed up by efficient friendly service. A bit of Wien in London.

If you like austrian or deutsche food, this is a great delicious restaurant

Overall okay. The service is overloaded and therefore impatient, the food is only moderately good and the price-performance ratio is simply not right.

Wonderful place- lovely interior, food and staff

Service was OK but the food was shockingly poor. Spätzle that was thin and dry, ghoulash which was cold, tasted of water with a bit of pepper in. Barely edible. My food came so quickly it had clearly been sitting around for some time in the kitchen, the meat was dry and dark at the edges. Chatting to the lovely couple next to us redeem what would have been an awful birthday meal.

I went here for lunch last week with my boyfriend and was left quite disappointed. We spent just over £100 for the two of us and definitely don’t think it was worth it. Keep in mind this restaurant is in Marylebone so of course it won’t be cheap but it should still match the quality of food and service. We were greeted by a lovely gentlemen at the desk who seated us right away even though we didn’t have a booking. The service was quick and pleasant. The food was okay but if you have spent time in Austria it’s below average. Definitely don’t recommend the Apfel strüddel for dessert. All of the plates we were given were filthy they had water marks all over them which shouldn’t be the case if you’re charging those prices. Overall I wouldn’t go here again and don’t recommend.

Surely the finest omelette in London - absolutely exquisite 👌 supported by impeccable, well-mannered & enthusiastic service - as always a pleasure 👍

A little bit of Vienna in London

Adorable Bavarian eatery - Service fantastic, welcoming and warm atmosphere with traditional Viennese decor. Chocolate and apricot cake superb, as are the breakfasts. Will be returning!

We went to Fischers after a friend recommendation.Great restaurant in Mayfair are in London, cozy decoration. Full support and awareness about allergies, very appreciated. Very good and relaxing atmosfere.

We only had a few nights in London, but made sure to save one night for a wonderful meal at Fischers. Everything was delicious and service was welcoming and professional. Some of the dishes we enjoyed and would recommend were the Salmon Brotchen, Käsespätzle with bacon, Chicken Schnitzel, Weiner Schnitzel, Würstchen-Sausages (a combo of the Strasbourg smoked pork & garlic & the Käsekrainer pork & garlic stuffed with emmental), and Bananas Foster.

Stopped fora quick bite and for some Austrian dessert- try the cherry kaiserschmarrn.

The atmosphere is fantastic. It really seems to be in Wien. I have been here before and I returned with high expectations. We were greeted by a great member of staff at the door which showed us our table with grace. Problems started with the staff at the table completely uninterested in offering a good experience. It looked like they just wanted to get rid of us. In fact, they succeded. We would have had dessert, we just decided to leave. It was unpleasant. A real shame.

Had the sausages and the schnitzel

Outstanding venue, staff, food, Brunch and Dinner

Delightful restaurant with old world Viennese atmosphere - good service, delicious Wiener Schnitzel - order small as very generous portions.

Beautiful setting. Had to try all the Authentic Austrian food. (I know this because I was told by an Austrian gentleman we sat next to).

very cosy austrian style restaurant! great food and drinks! loved the schnitzel!

We enjoyed it. Not the best food in London but it was good and I would go back

Both Wiener and Chicken schnitzel were great, but side dishes were not as tasty. Dinner shaped restaurant provides a cozy atmosphere.
