About Wirtshaus im Batzenhäusl
On Theaterplatz in the middle of Baden, opposite the Stadttheater, stands the Batzenhäusl. For decades the building remained unchanged; together with the owner, Stadtimmobilien Baden, the restaurant was completely redesigned and today goes by the name Wirtshaus im Batzenhäusl.
What is served
Austrian inn cooking, with a manageable menu:
- Viennese classics – original Wiener Schnitzel of veal, fried in clarified butter in the pan (24.90), or of chicken (18.00); also onion roast beef, boned fried chicken and Old Viennese Salonbeuschel of veal (lights ragout) with bread dumpling
- From its own pot – the "Batzenhäusl" beef goulash with bread dumpling and cranberries (18.00), creamy Schinkenfleckerl (ham pasta, 13.50), red deer ragout with croquettes and cranberry pear (18.00), pikeperch fillet on pumpkin risotto (22.90)
- Without meat – a separate section of the menu: Old Viennese Krautfleckerl (cabbage pasta), lentils with home-made bread dumpling and Eiernockerl (egg dumplings) for 13.50 each, plus home-made pumpkin patties (17.00)
- Sweet dishes – Kaiserschmarren and poppy seed noodles with apple purée and Zwetschkenröster (stewed plums), Sachertorte in a glass, B’soffener Kapuziner
Lunch menu
From Tuesday to Saturday there is a separate menu plan: a changing main course with soup of the day, for 11.50 euros on weekdays and 15.00 on Saturdays. The plan is fixed the week before and is listed here.
To drink
The wines by the glass come from Schwertführer 47 from Sooß – Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Chardonnay, Zweigelt, a Cuvée Rot, Rössler, Merlot and a rosé, all by the eighth of a litre. On tap there is the Batzenhäusl's own house beer, plus a changing "second tap" for the curious, and Guinness.
Good to know
It is closed on Mondays. The kitchen takes orders until half an hour before closing; tables can be reserved by phone or e-mail.
