About Chili & Pfeffer Restaurant-Bar 醉川中餐厅

When I introduce Chili & Pfeffer Restaurant-Bar 醉川中餐厅, I usually start by saying it’s one of those places that instantly feels like it belongs to the neighborhood while still offering something excitingly different. Located at Schottenfeldgasse 86 in the 1070 district of Vienna, this restaurant-bar has an easygoing, welcoming energy that works whether you’re stopping by for a relaxed dinner or popping in for a quick bite after a long day. The vibe leans casual but confident, blending the comfort of a local restaurant with the buzz of a spot people genuinely enjoy returning to. What I really like is how flexible the experience feels: you can settle in for a proper dine-in meal, grab takeaway when you’re short on time, or enjoy outdoor seating when the weather cooperates and the street comes alive. The menu is designed to please different moods and schedules, offering everything from small plates meant for sharing to satisfying late-night food that hits the spot without feeling heavy. Drinks are clearly part of the personality here, with a solid lineup that includes beer, wine, cocktails, and spirits, plus coffee for those slower, conversational evenings. Alcohol flows easily but never overwhelms the food-focused feel, which keeps the place balanced and approachable. For anyone paying attention to dietary preferences, it’s refreshing to see vegan and vegetarian options treated as real choices rather than afterthoughts, making it easier to come with friends who all want something different. Even if you’re just looking for a quick bite, the atmosphere encourages you to slow down a little, enjoy what’s on the table, and soak in the relaxed restaurant-bar rhythm that Chili & Pfeffer Restaurant-Bar 醉川中餐厅 delivers so naturally.

Reviews

best Chinese food in Vienna, fresh and authentic on point with very attentive customer service.

Friendly and fast service, delicious Asian cuisine for reasonable prices. One can ask for extra fresh chilli or modify how spicy the ordered meal should be. Beer on tap is also good. Recommended, we will come again.

Very Authentic Szechuan style Chinese food in a tight but well design boutique interior. Dim Sum was authentic and they import the chilli's from China so if you are looking for real spice its here. The dishes are not watered down with Western influence which is refreshing. Highly recommended

- Samuel Tsang -

Even small side dishes such as fried short ribs are tingling with chilly pepper, which is characteristic of Zichuan cuisine, but it is a seasoning that keeps coming back to mind. I used to eat the lunch menu, but it's fortunate that there is a restaurant near my house.

Really good food! Service is fast, and the menu has a lot of options to choose from. You can also get most dishes non-spicy. Highly recommend!

Great place for authentic chinese food! Prices are fair but not cheap per se. The lunch menu offers a really great value though. There is a nice area in the inner courtyard and in the summer you have an additional area at the front of the restaurant that is quite nice now that the Schottenfeldgasse got redesigned. The service was always great when I've been there and the owner is a lovely chap. One of my favorite places to go in my lunch break as well as when dining on a sunday.

Wow! What a spot. This was one of the best Chinese meals I’ve had in Vienna. All of the dishes were so extremely tasty and the cocktails tasted just as good. The air had a spice in it and it was all so intoxicating! We didn’t have a reservation but luckily they found us a table right away on a Friday night and our server was very kind. Would recommend and will definitely be back to try more!
