About Us

On the Corner since 1999

The Buchenbeisl has been at Karmarschgasse 50 in Favoriten since 1999 — and from the very beginning it was more than a restaurant. A 'Wirtshaus' in the best sense: a place where people know each other, where they come back, where they feel at home.

Our aspiration is simple: you should eat better with us than at home — and feel just as welcome.
