Mayer am Pfarrplatz is a quietly iconic Heuriger in Grinzing, set in what is said to have been Beethoven’s former residence—an address that lends the evening a gentle, cultural gravitas. Come for crisp house wines and classic Viennese dishes served in vine-draped courtyards and wood-panelled rooms, where tradition feels lived-in rather than staged. It’s the sort of place locals return to when they want Vienna at its most unforced.
We love coming here usually the last evening during our stay for the ball. We always enjoy the local musicians . This is our first time back since Covid, seems that the cuisine is elevated. The duck breast was wonderful as a starter. Also great Kabeljau (fried cod) The legendary cream Schmitt was airy and a great way to finish. We love coming here and enjoyed a local wine from the varietal Gemischtersatz - so…
Mayer is an institution on Vienna. It is one of the most well-known wineries in Vienna. Interestingly Vienna has a few wineries within it city area. These are mainly small wineries that ultimately produce wie for consumption at their restaurant. In this case Mayer produces quite good white wine. The place is awesome and they do deliver a menu for big crowds so you can serve yourself.
Food was great, service was poor. I had the wild boar with Pinot gravy, fried potato noodles and red cabbage…with a bottle of the Pinot noir. The food was delicious.
