Welcome

to Das Bootshaus on the Old Danube!

Oars or skulls? “Ruderbrot” or “Achterl”? You can’t go wrong at Das Bootshaus. Where rowing meets gastronomy, the Old Danube inspires new ideas and a destination becomes a joyous experience. But why rowing? Rowing plays a special role in our family. After all, two of our sons are competitive rowers. Both are recipients of the U23 World Cup gold and collective bronze medals, amongst other awards and victories. Das Bootshaus on the Old Danube offers us the unique opportunity to combine two great passions: rowing and hosting.

Uncompromising quality and incomparable ambience in Vienna - that's what we stand for. Fish & Chips, Calamari Fritti and the best sundowners on the Old Danube invite you to "dock". Whether seated at a table for 2, 4 or 8 guests – the holiday feeling begins to set in, especially when you are presented with our favourite colour palette, provided by the sunset!

See you soon at Das Bootshaus on the Old Danube!

Fish & Chips Weeks
more

You are the fish to my chips!

Starting March 4, our popular Fish & Chips Weeks are back at the Bootshaus.

The perfect start to the evening: crispy pike-perch tacos. Then take your pick from three different Fish & Chips specials: from crunchy panko-crusted pike-perch with lemon aioli and cucumber-dill salad, to crispy carp in a cornflake coating with sweet potato fries and curry-mango chutney, all the way to grilled pike-perch in a miso marinade, served with super-crunch fries, spring onions, and lemon mayo.
Add a cold Sun Beam Blonde or a Wiener Gemischter Satz, great company, and cool Bootshaus vibes.
