West Village Austrian Restaurant With Crisp Schnitzel and Duck
Dining on crisp schnitzel and Grüner Veltliner at a West Village Austrian restaurant led by Chef Kurt Gutenbrunner.
🍷 Schnitzel and Austrian Wines
Wallsé is a West Village Austrian restaurant where Chef Kurt Gutenbrunner keeps the classics refined, starting with the crisp schnitzel that anchors the menu. Perfectly cooked duck, a rotating set of appetizers, and traditional desserts round out the meal.
The wine list stays loyal to Austria, with Grüner Veltliner and other Austrian varietals poured alongside the food. The minimalist corner room at 344 W 11th Street feels cozy without fuss, and the staff have held a long-standing consistency in food and service that regulars clearly appreciate, judging by a 4.4 rating across 523 reviews.
Dinner runs Monday through Saturday from 5 PM to 10 PM, and Saturday brunch fills the room from 11 AM to 3 PM for a daytime pass at the same address. Expect upscale prices, and take the insider tip that comes with the plate, ask for extra lingonberry.
