Looking for a restaurant in Vienna with a name similar to "An die 2 Linsen" that served huge Schnitzel
In 2012 during an Euro-trip I spent some days in Vienna. During that trip I got a recommendation for a restaurant from a local citizen. I really liked the restaurant and memorized it's name for future usage.
Fast forward to December 2019, I have a couple of friends in Vienna and I suggested this same restaurant to them, but to my disappointment I can't find anything about it! Probably my memory is playing me a trick, but I have a few things about this restaurant that I know for sure:
It's name is something that sounds like "An die 2 Linsen", or Lieser, or something that sounds alike
It served huge-sized Schnitzel. I said HUGE.
It was open in February 2012, probably longer.
It was within walking distance from Vienna's historic center (St Peter's church), even though a little longer than usual. I'd say half an hour walking.
Does anyone know the name of this specific restaurant and if it's still open as of December 2019?

Since there is no shortage of Wiener Schnitzel tourist traps this insider Schnitzel guide may help. I have also been recently at restaurant 'Zum Friedensrichter' in Leopoldstadt - not huge Schnitzel but VERY good ones!
