Owner Horst Scheuer, a world-famous-in-Vienna waiter who knows every creative and freak in town, opened this great restaurant after returning from Berlin and New York. Its strange name is a tribute to two restauranteurs from the times when Horst was found on the other side of the bar.

An imposing marquee, artist Otto Zitko’s work on the walls and a fine blend of Viennese, Mediterranean and French cuisine are some of the reasons why Skopik & Lohn is one of the most popular restaurants of the Karmeliter Quarter. The main attractions, however, are the very interesting people who come to here to eat and meet.
