Honest Austrian Lunch from a Butcher Who Knows Their Craft
Radatz has been a Vienna household name since 1962, and the Schwechat branch inside the ekazent center lives up to the family's reputation for quality butcher meats turned into honest, satisfying lunches. The daily menu (Tagesmenü) rotates regularly, featuring everything from classic Wiener Schnitzel to various sausage plates, pork roasts, and seasonal Austrian dishes — all made from meat sourced from their own production. You order at the counter, and if you pre-order and pay online, you can skip the queue entirely, which is a neat trick regulars use.
The food is straightforward and generous — this isn't fine dining, and it doesn't pretend to be. What you get is properly sourced, freshly cooked Austrian comfort food at a fair price. The schnitzel is a reliable choice, and the sausage selection showcases exactly why Radatz built its name as a Fleischermeister. Sides are classic — potato salad, fries, the usual suspects — and they do the job.
The atmosphere is canteen-adjacent, located within a shopping center, so don't expect ambiance. But that's not the point. The point is getting a quality meat lunch that tastes like someone who actually knows their craft made it — because they did. It gets busy around noon with local workers, so timing your visit either early or late in the lunch window is smart.
