Pull up at Zum scharfen René, the central Vienna sausage stand locals and visitors rate as a must. Grab a currywurst or a Käsekrainer and eat it standing, in true Würstelstand style.

📖

Full description

Zum scharfen René is a classic Würstelstand in the city centre that reviewers regularly rank among the best in Vienna. The currywurst and Käsekrainer draw the most praise, along with spicy Burenwurst, and the jovial service is mentioned almost as often as the food.

It is a quick, standing-room stop: around twenty minutes is plenty, and the budget-friendly prices make it an easy fit between sights or before a concert at the nearby Konzerthaus. It operates in daytime hours and closes on Saturdays, so timing matters more than booking, which is not possible.

Reviews

Found this place on a YouTube video and was thrilled. Had some delicious spicy burenwurst before going to a show at the Wiener Konzerthaus. I think this place would just as easily be a convenient stop to those headed to the Musikverein or anybody walking in the Karlsplatz area as well.
