"No English menu!!
I combed through reviews and ordered the first two things on the menu - the one with cheese is great! And that's the without buns version which I prefer, if you want bun order from the second section "hotdogs".
No bun version still comes through brown bread slice FYI.
The sausages were perfectly grilled, very happy to have tried this!"

"A rather popular street Viennese sausage stand but queue move along very briskly. I had a sausage & sauerkraut. The sausage was a little salty for me as I ate more & probably would go better with bread. The sauerkraut though is lovely. Look spicy but not."

"Don’t have an English menu.
There was a line, but it was moving quickly. Waiting time 5-10min.
You can have a snack before or after visiting the opera house, as it is very close to it."
