When the scent of red cabbage, baked apple, and crispy goose wafts through Vienna in the autumn, it's clear: Martini time is approaching. Between early October and the end of November, many Viennese taverns and restaurants serve the popular Martinigans – classic, creative, or even vegan. We have looked around and present the top 10 places for goose dining in Vienna in 2025.

Stuwer

New Viennese Tavern: Stuwerstraße 47, 1020 Vienna or Stuwer at Schottentor: Rockhgasse 1, 1010 Vienna
Since early October, Stuwer has been serving oven-fresh goose with quince red cabbage, potato dumplings, and apple compote until the end of the year. The modern tavern cuisine meets tradition here – a classic for gourmets who like it refined. Reservation is highly recommended. For those who prefer convenience, there is a takeaway version for home. Price for 2 people € 69 / for 4 people € 129 / from 6 people € 29.5 per person.

Gmoakeller

Am Heumarkt 25, 1030 Vienna
In the venerable Gmoakeller, classic Martinigansl is served between October 10 and November 22 with chestnut red cabbage, two types of dumplings, and baked apple with cranberries for 34.80 euros per portion. Typically Viennese, rustic, authentic – that's how tradition tastes.

Meissl & Schadn

Schubertring 10-12, 1010 Vienna
The traditional house on the Ringstraße has been offering a finest goose menu to melt away since October 13. Included are goose sasak, preserved goose soup with breadcrumb dumplings, and classic goose in orange-thyme sauce. To finish, there is a chestnut slice. Daily from 12 to 11:30 PM. Reservation is strongly advised.

Nigls Gastwirtschaft

Rankgasse 36, 1160 Vienna
Nigls in Vienna-Ottakring is also all about goose time: soup, goose liver, and even unusual goose dumplings are on the menu. But of course, there is also oven-fresh Martinigansl, traditionally served with dumplings, red cabbage, and fruity cranberry-peach. Price: 34.90. Down-to-earth, cozy, simply good. Note: For Martinigansl, the restaurant requests a reservation two days in advance.

Napoleon

Laimgrubengasse 22, 1060 Vienna
Things get creative here: For tradition lovers, there's a classic Ansfeld free-range goose – or a vegan "Goose without Goose," made by "Pflanzerei." Even the biggest veggie skeptic will take a bite - promised! A special treat: You can reorder as much red cabbage, gravy, and dumplings as your heart desires. The whole menu is available for €44.90.

Huth Gastwirtschaft

Schellinggasse 5, 1010 Vienna
Huth Gastwirtschaft also invites you to enjoy a goose menu in the heart of Vienna. Classic cuisine, modern ambiance – and always full, so make sure to reserve in advance!

Sperling im Augarten

Obere Augartenstraße 1, 1020 Vienna

Thell

Vegans are not left out here thanks to Thell's "VeGansls." The traditional menu costs €55, the veggie version €49.

La Terra Rossa

From October 30 to November 9, La Terra Rossa offers the Martini goose with a Mediterranean twist. Either as a menu (€49 per person) or "solo" (€36.90), as promised on the website. Pre-ordering is strongly recommended. Homemade side dishes, beautiful setting – a short but rewarding season.

Oktogon am Himmel
