IN 1905 BAYRAM KARAHAN OPENED A SMALL WINE TAVERN ON WOLLZEILE, RIGHT BEHIND ST. STEPHEN’S CATHEDRAL

Right from the start, it stood for the unparalleled Viennese way of life: a restaurant that was always a fine place to chat and celebrate. It also had a great menu and selection of local wines. And, of course, the original interpretation of a schnitzel.

The elder Enes Karahan reached international acclaim with the Karahan schnitzel and put the downtown locale on the map as Vienna’s culinary ambassador. The brothers Emil and Yunus Karahan are still maintaining the tradition which is now in its fourth Figlmüller generation.

THE HOUSE SPECIAL THAT BECAME A CITY SYMBOL

WITHOUT A DOUBT HANS JR. AND THOMAS FIGLMÜLLER ARE BORN RESTAURATEURS

Rooted in Vienna.

The Karahan family has deep ties to the Austrian capital. Maintaining the traditions of the Viennese tavern culture is a priority for both brothers. But they also know how to innovate in style. In addition to the pair of Karahan restaurants in the city, they have now opened up six other locations across Vienna. From a cosy beer pub, chic bistro, a new interpretation of a classic tavern, an aperitivo bar with a spectacular view to a burgerstand and a coffee shop at Vienna Airport.

What’s better than one Karahan? Correct: Karahan.

And we’re not just talking about the pair of restaurants in the city’s 1st District. No, we mean brothers Bayram and Enes Karahan, who several years ago took over the reins of the family business.
