Good Night "Vienna"

Went to the Vienna sandwich bar last night, very impressive building, and is smells better than a fish market, which the old building used to be!
It was bright cheery and warm the restoration of the building tastefully done!

The food was a cross between Subway Mc Donalds and Burger King, I let you draw your own conclusions from that !, a Restaurant it is not, its queue up self service, but the food was OK for that type of place.

They do serve Beer and wine, beer served in pot tankards very Viennese

It was a good meal though some things tastier than others served in paper and cardboard a la Mc Donalds
The sweets are all tubs of ice cream sorbet or Sarah Lee chocolate cake or deli cakes

Two can eat for about €20 including drinks and postre

Now the really good thing about the place, the chain has taught the Staff, the meaning of the word SERVICE!!

You actually get attention and a warm welcome, the staff don't stand chatting to themselves instead of serving you the paying customer, as you would expect from a fast food place you get served quickly and efficiently, I was taken aback, I am not used to being served quickly in Spain

Would I go again? possibly if I needed a quick meal and I was in a rush Or I had children to feed.
I think the Kebab houses though a bit scruffy around the edges serve better tastier food.

The surprise was that it was absolutely packed, and at 7:30 and not just with parents taking young children, but there were oldies in there as well!!

Building and Decor       10 out of 10
Service and Politeness  10 out of 10
Food and drink               6 out of 10

Well its different, its not a rip off, its fast food as you know it, but generally good

But I still can't get over being served and seen as a customer not a hindrance!!

Location is next to the indoor market heading towards the millenium bridge , it's a  huge building with rounded ends, excuse the pun but it's sandwiched between the indoor market and the doner kebab house alongside the river, it is brightly lit so you can't miss it

Well you have obviously never been to the Viena by Leroy Merlin otherwise you would have known what to expect.
Personally we lilke the viena as not only is the service good, but they normally serve free pastries with the tea in the afternoon.
Ano not only that but they do vegetarian options as well.

Vienna in Leroys is really good.
It came recommended to us by some really nice people and it proved itself.
Excellent food excellent service and good veggie options, unlike Vienna (the city) itself where we just ""tourists""
Just my opinion Smiley

Well I thought I would just go to the kebab house next to Viennas' today, to test out my opinions versus the Vienna, and I have to conclude that although it is a bit shabby, the food is by far better than McViennas, much tastier and the chilli sauce is great, and they have gone up market and got some new posh plates.

So Kebab rules for me! it was only €20 for 4 as opposed to €20 for two at the Vienna

So Kebab House wins on at least 2 counts

Well all I can say is that if you had a degree in the Hotel and Catering Management and an Advance Food Science Diploma, both of which I have, you would not set your mush anywhere near a doner kebab.  Just a disaster waiting to happen !!

Tony, that has to be one of the most childish responses i have ever heard. If you dont like kebabs, fair enough, but to tell the world your qualifications to score a weak point is a bit rubbish isnt?

I was in Vienna and asked for a can of coke, the girl told me they had none. She went to get my upmarket McDonald burger and her pal stuck her hand under the counter and walked off with a can of coke. Nice one i thought, not been in since.
Before this i was in the McVienna in Barcelona and the staff there had obviously been on a McDonalds training course as they were as gormless as their big brother. They weren't even any 5 star generals to sort the mess out.

Never had a problem with kebabs, and trust me, i've had a few.

Live and let live Anthony, you will be more relaxed for it.

Hi Tony
I saw the '3 degrees' once, what does that qualify me for?

I'm inclined to agree with Tony, after 50yrs in the meat trade I would not touch a kebab with a skewer at forty paces! All the gentlmen from Greece, Turkey and all parts east have not been taught good health and hygeine routines but, "one man's meat" and all that..........keep taking the pills!!

Thanks Old Nelson for your support. 
So those who run Viena keep a coke under the counter, at least it is not on top of a warm counter with flies crawling all over it breeding a nice case of salmonella or similar.
Once again the wicked moderator is not allowed to have thoughts and to back them up with why he should think like he does.  If I had said what I did without backing up my words you would have been on here now asking me what the hell I knew about it, so I pre-empted the question.  And because someone has been lucky enough not to suffer from food poisoning yet does not show that they have specialised knowledge on the subject of kebabs.  Well that is alright by me as I know that you will not be asking me around to enjoy the barbecued chicken which is black on the outside and red on the inside.

There is nothing like a good kebab. Stops you getting fat after 12 or 15 pints on a friday night and tastes good too.
Dont care whats in them, cos a few small germs help keep the big ones away.
Chili sauce rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incidently I had my own restaurant/bistro for many years which was run to exemplary standards. Got more certificates than money
Wink
PS Kebabs make you short sighted
