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

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

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 !!

So what......I've got a degree in Applied Irish Science and my good lady has a masters in 'I told you so's 'and the Kebabs are still better.And you can have a beer.And you can watch a Bollywood movie...

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!!

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
PS Kebabs make you short sighted
