Griechenbeisl is the oldest restaurant in Vienna, Austria founded in 1447. It is located on Fleischmarkt 11 near the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Restaurant derives its name from the Levante merchants, who lived in the vicinity of the building, and the intensive trade relations between Vienna and the Orient since the time of the Babenberger period. The first documentary mention of the Griechenbeisl dates back to 1447. Around 1500, the present Greek settlement was called Zum gelbe Adler . Later the building appears to be a guest house - this house name is related to a tower dating back to around 1200 from the former town fortification, possibly already incorporated into the Late Gothic building in the residential tower in the 14th century. Also today the Griechenbeisl appeared with the name Zum Goldenen Engel or Reichenberger Beisl. When Greek and Levantine merchants settled around the middle of the seventeenth century, the area they inhabited was called the Greek quarter. Thus, the guest house received its present name of Greece. But there was always the Viennese cuisine.

In the 17th century, the singer and bagpiper Marx Augustin regularly appeared here.
