Lonely Planet review

The Schweizerhaus is famous among the Viennese for two things: it's massive, tree-shaded garden and its Hintere Schweinsstelze (roasted pork hocks). These gargantuan chunks of meat on the bone (around €15.30 per kg, 750g minimum), best served with mustard and freshly grated horseradish, taste supremely better than they sound and are best shared. There are other meat dishes, but vegetarians will have to stick to starters and salads.

Wash it all down with draught Budweiser (the Czech stuff) direct from the barrel.
