Skopik & Lohn
Leopoldstadt Beisl with the Otto Zitko ink-scribbled ceiling, modern-Viennese mainstay.
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Horst Scheuer and Manuel Stark opened Skopik & Lohn in 2006 in a former workshop on Leopoldsgasse near the Karmelitermarkt, the painter Otto Zitko covered the ceiling and one wall with continuous black ink scribbles before opening, and the room became, within a couple of years, the defining example of the 2. Bezirk's new register: a working Beisl menu (Tafelspitz, Wiener Schnitzel, Frittatensuppe, Powidltascherl) at honest prices in a contemporary-art setting. The room takes the form of the Viennese Beisl seriously, paper tablecloths, the bread on the table, the wine list pulled from small Austrian growers, without the kitsch the form can lapse into elsewhere. Karmelitermarkt is two minutes' walk south.
Editor's Tip
The Sunday lunch is the Karmelitermarkt Saturday's natural extension, book the day before. Ask the staff about the Zitko ceiling commission; the wall paintings and the ceiling were installed before the kitchen opened, which is itself the room's argument.
