My friend and I had an expectation on this Austrian restaurant which is a rarity in Hong Kong. Nestled in a dark and lurid street of Tsim Sha Tsui, Weinstube looks like a den for alcoholics and pork knuckle fans. A very small restaurant hidden from the bustling street and perched on the first floor of an old building, Weinstube's entrance is obscure as it is and at best looks in every dimension like that of an upstairs barber shop.

Nestled in a dark and lurid street of Tsim Sha Tsui, Weinstube looks like a den for alcoholics and pork knuckle fans. A very small restaurant hidden from the bustling street and perched on the first floor of an old building, Weinstube's entrance is obscure as it is and at best looks in every dimension like that of an upstairs barber shop. The interior decor is teemed with, well, a sort of HK-style western design. But that's not relevant when the waiters were friendly and a man (boss?) earnestly led us to the table.
Now on food. The legendary Schweinhaxen is overly salty and surprisingly, of a small, non-German proportion. The mixed salad somehow redeemed Weinstube's name though. The chicken schnitzel was perfect and stimulated every of my taste buds and nerves.
For a small restaurant Weinstube has done a good job of bringing a homely feeling to customers. Save the disappointing dish of pork knuckle, this restaurant is a comfy one even though it cannot bring you memories of Wien.
The restaurant plays no waltz music but disco music. It may more aptly be called a fusion restaurant or a tavern.
