Vienna Restaurant Serves €395 Wagyu Schnitzel With Gold and Caviar

The dish targets high‑spending tourists, prompting reminders that the legally defined Wiener Schnitzel must be veal.

Overview

  • Die Spelunke’s two‑person portion features Wagyu, 23‑karat leaf gold, 125 grams of Royal Caviar Imperial Auslese and an in‑house lemon parfum.
  • Chef Alexander Knelle says the goal was an exceptionally good reinterpretation that preserves the dish’s identity rather than a price stunt.
  • PR representatives say the item is intended to attract affluent international visitors, especially from the Emirates, and claim no pricier Wiener‑style schnitzel exists worldwide.
  • Reactions on Instagram and in coverage range from curiosity and praise to criticism of decadence and doubts about the flavor pairing.
  • BILD reports two preorders for the weekend, and the restaurant continues to offer a conventional schnitzel at about €29.
