SquareMeal Review of Fischer's

Bronze Award

Oh, Vienna: The Wolseley Hospitality Group's grand café has one misty-eyed for the city of cafés and giant schnitzels without ever leaving Marylebone. It’s not so much the food, though that’s a cold-weather dream: neat rye sourdough brötchen lined with beetroot and herring, followed by braised beef tafelspitz or pan-fried duck liver with grapes and redcurrants piled onto crisp rösti. It’s more the cumulative effect of the smart staff, low lights, leather accents, copious taxidermy and gorgeous views. This is a comfortable, well-padded kind of seduction, complete with cake plates brought to the table for you to choose from (go for the classic Sachertorte), and silver coupes filled with nutty ice cream. Mid-European wines are a feature, but so is coffee and a biscuit. We love it, although one disappointed punter thinks that Fischer’s needs to “up its game”, with the Ivy Café now grabbing headlines (and customers) on Marylebone High Street.

About

A charming cafe-restaurant in Marylebone, Fischer’s offers a warm, nostalgic escape into the elegance of early 20th-century Vienna. Serving a selection of classic Austrian dishes with a touch of European grandeur, Fischer’s is perfect for almost any occasion. Whether it's a leisurely Viennese breakfast with Black Forest ham and caraway-infused gouda or a romantic dinner over traditional wild boar goulash.

At the helm is The Wolseley Hospitality Group, known for its ability to create timeless dining experiences with restaurants across London, including The Delaunay and Brasserie Zedel. Part of the recipe is the interior decor. Fisher’s echoes the opulence of the age of grand cafes. Featuring intricate marquetry, vintage oil paintings, and mirror-tiled walls, the atmosphere is both luxurious and familiar.

The Fischer’s menu begins with chicken liver, beetroot and herring, and tomato and onion toppings served on sourdough bread. Each dish is crafted with care, offering a sophisticated presentation that reflects the restaurant's attention to detail. Guests can enjoy a variety of dishes, from classic Wiener Schnitzel to the more adventurous Käsespätzle and sweet mustard herring. Desserts are a highlight, with various indulgent options like a classic cinnamon and apple strudel served with either whipped cream or ice cream and Fischer’s signature ‘Salzburger’ trifle.

The drinks menu complements the culinary offerings with an extensive selection of wines from Austria, Germany, and beyond, alongside cocktails inspired by Vienna's rich history. The Wilhelm II, for example, combines vodka, a clear pear brandy, St Germain and orange bitters. Whether you’re starting the day with Viennese pastries, or whiling away the hours exploring the wine list over dinner, Fischer’s stands out as one of the few restaurants that can be sophisticated, accessible, and full of flavour all at once.

High hopes …

I have been to Fischer's for drinks, bar snacks, lunch  and coffee many times. I was looking forward to supper but in hindsight should have stuck with the aforementioned.

Our greeting was warm, friendly and thoroughly professional. 

The food however was lacking. From the bread which was dry to the butter which lacked flavour.

The presentation of the mushroom stroganoff was poor. little  better than a ready meal with three fried onion rings for garnish and some random pickles strewn on top. It was overly salted and had we not been limited on time, I would have sent this back, without hesitation. 

My friend had the chicken schnitzel and mash, again lack lustre  presentation but rather more enjoyable than my choice.

Dessert was the Black Forest gateau which to be fair was nice but the cheesecake was leaden.

Poor presentation of our G & T's. The tonic was already added (individual bottles would have been usual to add as and when, to suit individual taste). We weren't t asked if we'd like ice it was also already added.

This resulted in a highball glass with a very watered G & T.

A real shame as the environment is lovely though the waiting staff lacked warmth and personality.

A thoroughly average dining experience.

Perfect for a cosy winter lunch or dinner when the nights start to draw in. Good portions, great flavours, relaxed atmosphere. The food was good, but service during our visit was somewhat lax. We were between lunch and dinner service so the restaurant was not remotely busy, but we had to wait for the waiting staff to catch our attention as they chatted to each other. The waiter did not say a single word to us when he brought each plate to our table. The maitre'd asked if we would like to see the dessert menu, and then forgot to bring it over. Nothing major, but definitely not the polish I expected. I would still go back when I want Austrian comfort food.

Pleasant and acceptable Austrian special

Very pleasant atmosphere, seating arrangements in this 'quiet' area off the main Euston Road. We vwere pleasantly surprised by the portion size of the inevitable Winer Schnitzel (very tasty and come with a good appetite!). the Austrian 'borsch (beetroot) soup was tasty and well presented. the 'two different bratwuirst' (fopr one combined price) didnt fully meet expectations but was filling enough! Service was acceptable, a good selection of wines and other drinks (buit with the a slightly unacceptable London premium!) made, overall, for a very comfortybale dinner arrangement.
