If you’re in the heart of Vienna looking for a really good sandwich and don’t feel like going to one of the well-known sandwich chains, you can’t miss “Full Metal Bistro – Sandwiches & so” at Hollandstraße 1A. With its tongue-in-cheek motto, “Leave the gun. Take the sandwich,” the shop combines cinematic pop culture with genuine craftsmanship. Despite the rock-inspired name, the team makes one charming promise: metal music is actually never played here—unless a guest requests it or it’s featured in a movie soundtrack. Here, it’s all about that perfect bite.
Fresh bread and creative movie classics
The heart of the bistro is the house-baked sandwich bread, prepared fresh daily. Combined with high-quality ingredients, this results in creations that stick in your memory not only for their taste but also for their names. The menu reads like a journey through cinema history: Meat lovers can choose the “Meat Joe Black” with homemade pastrami and caramelized jalapeños or the “Apocalypse Cow” with juicy pulled beef.
There’s plenty of variety, too, as the team regularly creates new specials. For example, the weekly “Fried Club” combines chicken schnitzel, ajvar, and homemade kimchi into an explosion of flavor.
Uncompromising quality for every taste
The bistro makes it a priority that no one goes home hungry. That’s why every serving is prepared fresh and with a generous helping of love. In addition to the hearty meat options, vegetarians and vegans will also find plenty to enjoy. The “Goodfalafellas” impresses with falafel, hummus, and vegan aioli, while the “Triple Eggs” stands out with truffle mayo.
Anyone who works nearby also benefits from a neighborhood discount: show your employee ID and get ten percent off. Whether for your lunch break, a quick snack on Saturday, or catering for your next event—Full Metal Bistro simply fills you up and makes you happy.
