Mutzenbacher
Viennese classics with a Friedrichshain wink: schnitzel, also in a celeriac version, among disco-ball boar heads and checkered tablecloths.
Mutzenbacher is a Austrian restaurant in Friedrichshain, priced 20–30 €. Open Mon-Fri 17:00-23:00, Sat-Sun 12:00-23:00.
Mutzenbacher serves Austrian specialities in a deliberately rustic, tongue-in-cheek room on a Friedrichshain side street.
The name alone is Viennese self-irony, and the setting holds: disco-ball boar heads and alpine kitsch, red-and-white checkered tablecloths. Lots of wood, plus the smell of schnitzel from the kitchen. A mock-Alm room you only build if you know Vienna. The menu runs from Leberkäs-roll snacks to the full Wiener canon. Signature is the Wiener Schnitzel — genre twist: same breading on thick celeriac slices for the vegetarian side. Potato or cucumber salad, then Kaiserschmarrn. Vienna with a crooked smile on a Friedrichshain corner.
