The 33 best spots for kaiserschmarrn in Vienna

We had some schnitzels for dinner. They were fine. Side salad had the most flavour to be honest. Luckily there was some salt and pepper on the table. Portions were quite big and had some desert as well. Nothing special. When asked for the bill we got only told the price, quite unprofessional not to give you the bill to check what you are paying for, then the waitress asked for a tip, like in most places. Bit sad to be honest. Your performance should be the part where you get the tip, which was not great.

We absolutely loved the pancakes/crepe and the goulash. Very tasty and well served. Waiters were very friendly and service was fast. They have a beautiful restaurant inside, very cozy and a cute little patio. Pet friendly S2

We went to have lunch there, based on the Google review. It was a cold day so staying on the terrace was not an option. The food was good and was served fast, but when we wanted to cancel the desert, it was not possible and they charged us for it. The girl greeting us at the entrance, dressed in Austrian attire was the only one that seemed local. The guys serving at the tables were unfriendly and seemed east European.

Food: Food was amazing, large portions with very rich sauces, especially the beef goulash, one of the best beef sauce I had in a while, the beef broth is also worth trying, it’s like Vietnamese beef broth but with pancakes strips, the pancakes are also worth trying. However the potatoes from the fried chicken plate was cold. Service: the waitress was very nice and friendly, makes the dining experience much better. Atmosphere: we sat inside the restaurant as there was no space outside at the time, the interior was nice but the lights were too dim, there also was internet inside but they provide free wifi so that solves the problem, although it’s quite slow. TL,DR: amazing food, nice staffs, great atmosphere.

Recommend by the local tour guide. We arrived at 8:45pm with empty stomach. The restaurant was 60% full and gradually became fully occupied. Luckily the food was served not slow, around 15 minutes. We ordered spring dish with asparagus and Kaiserschmarr. Both tasted good!

I don’t have enough amazing things to say about this restaurant. It was an easy walking distance from Stephansplatz and located on a quieter street. The food was SO good. They serve traditional Austrian food for, in my opinion, a very reasonable price. I am not a big fruit person, but if you are, they have a very unique Austrian dessert that is advertised as the only place you can get it! It’s HUGE and looked and smelled divine when a table next to me ordered it. They also make a mean Melange. The service was great. If you want to sit outside, definitely make a reservation ahead of time!

We got here right after arriving in Vienna and it was a great start into the trip! The food was very good and service was very friendly as well! For my personal taste the Kaiserschmarrn was a little too dense. But overall a really great evening!

Café Central is one of Vienna’s most iconic coffee houses, located inside the grand Palais Ferstel on Herrengasse. Stepping inside feels like entering another era—ornate columns, vaulted ceilings, and marble interiors capture the charm of 19th-century Vienna. This café wasn’t just about coffee; it was once the meeting place for some of Europe’s greatest minds. Regulars included Sigmund Freud, Leon Trotsky, Stefan Zweig, and even Adolf Loos. You can almost feel that intellectual energy still lingering in the air. It is open from Monday–Saturday from 08:00 – 21:00 and Sunday/public holidays from 10:00 – 21:00. The nearest metro station is the U-Bahn “Herrengasse” (U3) and it’s a short walk from major sights in the first district. Reservations are accepted online for up to 6 people (via their website). Larger groups need to call in. Walk-ins are possible but during busy times expect a wait. Service is professional but can be slow, especially during peak hours. Some standout dishes: the famous Apfelstrudel, Kaiser-Schmarrn, Backhendl mit Erdäpfel-Gurkensalat and classic Viennese coffee like a Wiener Melange. Prices are a bit steep compared to local cafés. Still, the experience is absolutely worth it for the atmosphere and history.

Beautiful, beautiful cafe! But do yourself a favor and set a reservation. The line out the door, waiting for tables, was wild—with a reservation, we walked right on by! We had the einspänner, melange, apple strudel, and the warm chocolate cake. The cake was a must get! My apple strudel came out a bit cold. Wasn’t my favorite. I did see someone get the kaiserschmarrn and if I could do it over, I would 1000% get that!! Our server was lovely and attentive. It was a bit expensive, definitely cheaper cafe’s all over Vienna. But… this is obviously for tourists. So you should know what you are walking into!

Beautiful interior, very cozy place to sit down and relax over a nice cup of coffee and dessert. The Espresso served with whipped cream was excellent and very smooth. The apple strudel was one of the best I've eaten thus far. A thin crispy layer of pastry with plenty of apples, a bit of sourness combined with the sweetness of the cream, just melts in your mouth. The service was also excellent - staff very friendly and cheerful. I arrived at roughly 10AM, and only waited for roughly five minutes before being seated, but the queue might be longer closer to noon. Definitely worth the wait if not in a rush.

I visited because it's said to be one of Vienna's top three Sachertorte. There was a long line in front of the store, but I got it to go and went right away. The staff greeted me with warm smiles and kindness, which made me feel very welcome. I had it with coffee, and while it was a bit too sweet for my taste, it was perfect for a day like today when I'm tired and need a sugar boost.

Worth the wait! Totally calm, we tried two dishes and coffee and hot chocolate. I think Vienna is really special for the culture and the kind of environment. Even walking around the area is special. Great service. We followed their recommendation. Also there was live music.

Iconic venue in Central Vienna. Beautiful building inside and out. A short wait to get in (about 10 mins), but worth it. We ordered coffee, the amazing strudel with vanilla sauce and a slice of cream Schnitten. The waiter was really funny, professional and helpful. The atmosphere is fantastic, and has the 1800s feel to it. All the staff wear period clothing. Lovely experience. We visited around 11am on Thursday. The place looks amazing at night too.

Cafe Central is truly a Vienna staple, and it’s easy to see why. We went for breakfast and were immediately impressed, not just by the food, but by the atmosphere itself. The interior is absolutely stunning, with its grand architecture and old-world charm that makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time. The food was fresh and beautifully presented. The croissant was especially memorable. Perfectly flaky, buttery, and soft inside, easily one of the best I’ve had. Our server was attentive and friendly, taking the time to help us navigate the menu and make great recommendations. Get there early if you want to grab a walk-in seat. Otherwise, make a reservation or plan to wait. Everytime we walked by the place, there was a line. Overall, a wonderful experience from start to finish. Definitely recommend stopping by, especially if you’re in the mood for a relaxed breakfast or just want to indulge in some of the best pastries in Vienna.

Café Landtmann is a beautiful spot in the heart of Vienna, known for its elegant, traditional Austrian interior. The atmosphere feels timeless and charming, making it a perfect place to relax and soak in Viennese café culture. Their coffee and cakes are exceptional — especially the classic tortes — which explains why both locals and tourists love coming here. It’s not just a café, it’s a piece of Vienna’s history.

A true Viennese classic! Café Landtmann is a real Viennese institution – and now I understand why! We tried the sausage selection, the breaded veal, and finally the Kaiserschmarrn – everything was absolutely delicious, both in flavor and presentation. The veal was perfectly tender, and the Kaiserschmarrn came freshly made with a lovely homemade jam. The service was excellent – polite, attentive, and genuinely friendly. A wonderful experience that truly captures the spirit of Vienna. We’ll definitely come back!

Café Landtmann in Vienna is a historic and iconic Viennese coffee house that opened in 1873. The Landtmann is a cultural landmark. The Café Landtmann is known as Vienna’s “living room,” where visitors feel both at home and part of a timeless cafe tradition. The café combines charming old-world elegance with a refined modern outlook, including an outdoor terrace and a winter garden. I even had to check my jacket before entering. It has long been a favorite intellectual stop of luminaries such as Sigmund Freud and Gustav Mahler, and remains a popular meeting place for locals and travelers alike. I ordered a double espresso and a Viennese apple strudel with vanilla cream sauce. However, there are many delicious options. Café Landtmann is a Viennese experience to not miss!

Good one for Breakfast with a lovely outdoor seating set-up as well. We sat inside though due to the cold weather in early November. Tried Melange coffee which is the authentic vienesse coffee and omlette which was good. Croissant wasn't the best I had in Vienna though. Lot of tourist places to explore nearby after breakfast.

Great atmosphere, but the drinks arrived mostly cold and the apfelstrudel specially the cream do not feel fresh or perfectly made to be at the same level of the café. - The biggest offender: please do not ask for tips in Europe, it is an insult to the culture, and to the customer. Specially since we, as students, were treated differently and ignored for further orders when declined tipping. This change in behaviour is unprofessional, please consider these points because I want to come back to this lovely place again for my anniversary.

The Food was really good and fast. But after the first 5min we were completely ignored. We were about to ask for another beer, a desert and more softdrinks. We were a table of 4 and put in a "private" ( more like hidden) room, keept waving for a few minutes but we all gave up and decide to just get up to find a waiter, pay for what we ate and find somewhere else.

The restaurant was pretty full when I walked in but it was just me so they walked me to my table right away. The servers were efficient and polite. The food came out quite quickly after I ordered it. I had the pumpkin risotto with chicken and that was delicious. I was certainly not going to skip dessert, so I ordered the apple strudel with custard, which was heavenly. The crust is very thin and flaky. The apples were perfectly cooked and the custard was so creamy and light. I bought a Bundt cake to take home and asked for a box which was a little complicated to get because they were technically out of them. But the gentleman who was helping me managed to get me a box which I very much appreciate because otherwise the Bundt cake would’ve turned into a pancake on my 24 hour flight back home. So to that gentleman, thanks again!

Huge line to seat in the cafe so I just got the Kaiserschmarrn for take away. It was super delicious and one of the best sweets I’ve had in Vienna. It’s a bit expensive but I think it worth it to try it when you are in Vienna. The store is also very beautiful itself and you can buy souvenirs. 💯 Great experience

The place looks really nice with a charming, antique atmosphere. We were lucky to arrive about 30 minutes before opening, as a queue started forming very quickly! Through the window, you can even watch the chef preparing Austrian pancakes, which adds a lovely authentic touch. The service was simple and fast, which we really appreciated. We ordered the Sacher and Kaiserschmarrn. The Sacher was excellent — when it arrived, I expected it to be dry or the chocolate too hard, but it was quite the opposite: moist cake and soft, rich chocolate. The Kaiserschmarrn were also very tasty, with hot and delicious plum jam on the side. To drink, we had a cappuccino, which had a nice, rich coffee flavor and perfectly frothy milk. Overall, it was a great experience — delicious food, cozy ambiance, and quick service. I would definitely recommend this place! ☕🍰

Stopped for a slice of their Sacher torte on my birthday last week while on my first-ever visit to Vienna. The place is gorgeous! You can smell the buttery vanilla Kaiserschmarrn right as you walk in and it just makes you all the more excited. The servers were really sweet. I asked for a little candle on my cake. They immediately congratulated me and along came my slice of Sacher torte with a lit candle on top. They knew I was going to take photos so they offered to come back and light the candle again if I needed them to. The Sacher was, of course, delicious! Coffee was good. My friend ordered the Kaiserschmarrn and it was lovely! We had a very good experience! Made my birthday feel special and I appreciate that very much 😊

Pricey but an experience. A short wait as seats with multiple floors. Anna cake was good but tasted like normal chocolate cake. Hot chocolate was indulgent and chocolatey. The pancakes were fluffy although not very hot or warm and didn’t have enough plum sauce to go with it Waitress was friendly and smiley. Toilets available.

I visited because it was said to be one of Vienna's three best Sachertorte. I got it to go and had it with coffee. It was delicious, just the right amount of sweetness for me, especially when I was tired and needed a sugar boost.

Good sacher cake, schmarrn and coffee, but the price is simply too inflated, which is usual for downtown Vienna. Even in the pastry shop downstairs, the prices are ridiculous. The plus side: everything inside has a sweet buttery smell and the place is built in a really nice baroque style. Unless you have to wait in the long line upfront first, the experience and the ambient can be quite charming. 4/5

The kaiserschmarrn are absolutely delicious, not overly sweet, fluffy, and served hot. Paired with the spiced plums and a coffee it’s a classic must-do Viennese experience. The service was also quick and the waitress was very attentive. I’ll be back here next time I’m in Vienna!

Really good selection of cakes and bakery products. The old lady in the staff (who perhaps is the owner), who also works here, is really sweet and patient. Absolutely loved her hospitality! Definitely recommended cafe for a pleasant breakfast and/or brunch. Not 5 star, only because the products might feel a bit overpriced - but again the taste and hospitality compensates for it.

Great place. Superb service. They offer packets of butter and jam on the side, so you can get a loaf of bread with butter and jam along with the delicious Viennese coffee. Very reasonable prices

Ordered a sacher torte and a Kirsch cheesecake. Also ordered three flat white coffees. The sacher torte was delicious and moist. Cheesecake is not New York style but a lighter ricotta cheese kind. Coffee was delicious. After two days in Vienna, we have realized that not all sacher tortes are created equal. This one was especially good. Highly recommend this cafe. Outdoor seating area was nice as well.

Not a fancy touristic place but really nice and quiet. We Took a Sacher cake and some other cakes together with a cappuccino. Cappuccino had a great foam, I’m not a Sacher expert but I had the feeling that is was exactly how it is supposed to be. The staff was great and so kind with us despite the language. Recommend 100% we were really happy about it. Also other pastries looked gret

Today I had my breakfast here. I've ordered avocado toast and matcha latte. Food was very good 👍🏻 and tasty. But matcha tasted just like warm milk😁 not bad though. I liked the service and will definitely come back for another beautiful breakfast ☺️!

Food is so freaking good 😍😍🫠 and the owner is very sweet. We absolutely loved it ❤️❤️🙏

Excellent little bakery very close to the Vienna aquarium: Haus des Meeres. The business model is great! You can order anything from the counter, which includes cakes, pastries, Danish, krapfen, etc and eat it in site with a lovely cup of coffee in real china. That solves breakfast or provides a snack to keep sightseeing. The shop is staffed with only one person, who will serve you, very politely. It's good form to return the tray with your cup, and plate to the lady, to help her out. Again: she's the only one there to serve the busy Bakery counter, but will also give you coffee to stay or to go. I so wish this were normal in North America!

This café is for you if you enjoy a condescending and inattentive service, albeit in a nice historical setting. There is often a long queue outside, however when we were sat upstairs, the floor was half-empty. Perhaps this is to create a sense of exclusivity or the service is simply lacking efficiency (as highlighted in other reviews). We came here for a meal and the cake. The server made it his mission to make this experience as awkward as possible. To start, he came across as quite rude and condescending. He proceeded to knock over one of our glasses, without apologising or cleaning up the contents on the table. The attention to detail was poor, as he forgot to bring the spoons for the soup, and the butter for the breads (we never got the butter). This is despite multiple reminders. Apart from that, the main attraction - Sachertorte - was nothing more than an average chocolate cake. We have had it plenty of times before in Salzburg and simply wanted to try it in the original location. Overall, I am aware that this review won’t stop tourists from visiting the café, but it would be a shame if their experience is tarnished by the same level of service we received. Hopefully they are able to make some much needed improvements to match the more pleasant experience we received in Sacher Salzburg Café, which would be fitting of this historical establishment.

Well I enjoyed it. I just went for the experience and a very nice afternoon hot chocolate and the famous Sacher Torte, which was everything I expected. There was a bit of a queue on a cold afternoon but hey, it's in all the guidebooks so it's going to be busy. Service was pleasant, quick and polite. To those who have given poor reviews I would say get over yourselves! The place is famous and will serve what has done it well for many years, so enjoy it for what it is.

A too much hyped Café but reality doesn't meet the expectations at all. Everything was mediocre at best. They were polite but a bit cold. Υou will wait outside to be called even early in the morning when there is no-one else waiting. You will sit wherever they tell you even when every table is empty. Coffee and famous Sachertorte are very average and they are definitely not worth the money. On the good side the interior is really classy. I would not recommend it.

Beautiful and classic atmosphere, with that traditional Viennese charm. The Sacher Torte is truly delicious and worth its reputation. However, my experience was affected by the attitude of one of the waiters. He slightly raised his voice and acted with a certain arrogance, as if placing himself above the guests, even while remaining outwardly calm. This small detail disturbed my peace during the visit and ended up ruining what could have been an excellent experience. In short: great dessert, pleasant setting, but the arrogance of the staff, especially this particular waiter, made the visit less enjoyable than expected.

Cons: 1 - There was a large option of coffee, but the selection of pastries was limited. 2 - We did not find the service attentive or friendly. We don‘t need to chat or make small talk, but a smile is way better than some staring, I am a client here, I m not asking for some favor. 3 - It took them a long time to clean the tables even though there was a long line outside. Pro: the cake was good

Very expensive place for mediocre food and rude staff. Spent around 90 euro for a small portion lunch and a chocolate cake that isn’t anything special (had way better cake anywhere else) and some coffee. When the waitress thought our tip wasn’t high enough she sighed and instantly turned grumpy and almost mad. Unbelievable. Best to avoid. The restaurant itself looks very nice and fancy but that doesn’t outweigh it.

I visited with my baby. There was a space for the stroller, and they even had the same Stokke high chair we use at home, so my baby seemed really comfortable. He actually fell asleep in the chair. The café had such a lovely vibe, and the apple strudel was much better than the ones I’ve tried elsewhere. What really made the visit special, though, was the server with curly blonde hair. She had the warmest smile, and her positive energy just brightened the café. I left a little extra tip and got a small gift in return. which was such a lovely surprise. She truly matched the café! beautiful, sweet, and kind.

Food was good but quite ordinary and overpriced. Service was too slow and rather arrogant. I was alone at a table for two. I chose the seat that was more comfortable for me, but the waiter insisted I sit where the cutlery was already set. Seriously? Just move the cutlery! I waited ages to place my order and then had to ask three times for the bill, while they kept trying to push coffee or dessert. Also, unless you specifically ask for tap water (which is excellent in Austria), they will bring bottled water and charge you for it. The craziest part was that bread was brought to my table without asking, and then almost €5 was added to the bill for it. To make it worse, they serve food on chipped plates while pretending to be a high-level restaurant. And then they write in capital letters on the bill that TIP IS NOT INCLUDED! While other restaurants usually suggest tips starting at 5%, here they pushed for at least 8%. Needless to say, they got nothing from me, but this negative review.

Tafelspitz has delicate flavor. Really amazing technique for delivering a delightful meal accompanied by spinach sauce and white sauce A delicious broth with rich and flavorful crispy potatoes. In general This dish offers delicate flavors that are a true delight for the palate. I felt the service I received was not respectful and seemed discriminatory. Absolutely recommended

Authentic Viennese Excellence at Plachutta Wollzeile! Plachutta Wollzeile is a must-visit for classic Austrian cuisine - for locals and tourists. The Original Wiener Schnitzel is flawless—crispy, tender, and full of flavor. The Tafelspitz, served in a copper pot, is a true highlight: succulent beef, rich broth, and perfectly paired sides make it an unforgettable dish. Dessert was equally impressive—elegant, balanced, and the perfect finish to a superb meal. Service was warm and professional throughout. If you're in Vienna, this is the place to experience tradition done right.

I wish we would've tried this place sooner. Yes the prices are a bit high but common for the area. The restaurant is beautiful and our server Oleg was amazing! The Veal Goulash was to die for! If weather permits sit outside and enjoy the views. ♥️

Super austrian food by all means! Their famous soup and the viennese steak were really delicious and worthy trying! We sat outside as we had no reservation but still everything was OK! Highly recommended if you’re in Vienna and want to taste the local food!

If you’re after authentic Austrian food, look no further as this restaurant is the place to visit! I visited this restaurant with a friend shortly after lunchtime without a reservation. Upon entering it’s evident how popular it is with people constantly surrounding the entrance and bar waiting for a seat. We got ours within 5-10 minutes. The menu boasts a nice variety with boiled beef the star of the show, with various cuts available for your choosing. The staff are also very knowledgeable and provided their opinion to guide us. Throughout the meal we were well looked after and regularly checked on. I’d definitely recommend this establishment to everyone, but suggest you book first!

I had the Tafelspitz there and it was absolutely delicious! The meat was soft, the broth was full of flavor, and the potatoes and spinach were really tasty too. Definitely one of the best I’ve had, so I’m quite surprised by some of the reviews - for me it was a great experience! 😍

Visited as many guide books suggested to enjoy among other best coffee shops in the Vienna historical center. picked up buchteln, a set of rolls filled with hot cherry gem, which did not disappoint. nor disappointed excellent coffee seemed with a small jar of milk and a glass of water. The servers though, mostly middle age+ men dressed in classic servant suits of the past looked very relevant to the venue. What did not feel too relevant was their attitude toward the guests, at least those who did not speak German (I noticed a substantial difference in the way they served in German at the table next to me). Perhaps it came from the times when the server was confident they were more important than the customer, I was not sure. but it did not impress an experienced traveler like myself: we are just in very different times, I.e. the younger generation of those work in Vienna food industry know a lot better how to serve.

It's not often these days that you see people sitting in a cafe and reading a newspaper. Rarer still, is someone reading a newspaper on a reading stand in a cafe. But such is the atmosphere in Hawelka that this seems natural. The worn out - but stable - wooden chairs, the old school furniture, the dimly lit interiors, all bear testimony to the vintage credentials of Cafe Hawelka. I'll say the food is not out of the world (for instance we've had better apple strudels in much less celebrated shops elsewhere), but certainly serviceable. A visit to this place is recommended.

Café Hawelka lets you feel the atmosphere of old Vienna. I tried Wiener Melange for the first time, and it was absolutely delightful! The Sacher Torte was moist and tasty, and the service was impressively fast despite the crowds. It was a bit hot and cramped, but still — it’s definitely a must-visit spot!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A True Viennese Classic with Timeless Charm Café Hawelka is one of those legendary Vienna coffeehouses that feels like stepping back in time — and in all the best ways. We visited as a group of about 10 people during a guided tour around the city, and it turned out to be one of the most pleasant and memorable stops of the day. ⸻ Atmosphere: The café exudes old-world charm, with cozy, dim lighting, vintage furniture, and a lived-in warmth that makes you feel like you’re part of Vienna’s long-standing coffeehouse tradition. You can almost imagine the writers, artists, and thinkers who once gathered here. It’s the kind of place where time slows down — and that’s the point. ⸻ Food & Coffee: The coffee was excellent — rich, smooth, and exactly what you’d hope for in a historic Viennese café. The desserts were equally great, especially the traditional pastries that go perfectly with a warm cup. Everything was served in a laid-back, no-rush manner that felt genuinely authentic. ⸻ Experience: This isn’t just a café — it’s a slice of Viennese history, and our group truly appreciated the ambiance. Even with 10 people, we were able to sit comfortably and enjoy the experience. It’s not flashy or touristy — it’s classic, understated, and full of character. ⸻ Final Thoughts: If you want a break from the polished modern cafés and are looking to connect with the real heart of Vienna, Café Hawelka is a must. Great coffee, delicious pastries, and a timeless setting that’s worth savoring. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the soul of the city.

I think the place is a bit overrated. The waiters in tuxedos and the cozy atmosphere are nice touches, but the Sachertorte was honestly one of the worst desserts I’ve ever had. Since it’s the only version I’ve tried, I’m not sure if it was just this place's take that was disappointing or if the dessert itself is simply not my thing. Either way, it felt like a dry, slightly stale chocolate cake made with low-quality chocolate. All things aside, the coffee was enjoyable, though. I’d stick with the espresso-based drinks rather than the Einspänner.

The cafe looks so beautiful with its vintage charm and warm coffees that feel like a hug. With watercolour paintings adorning the walls, poems, people having conversation with a newspaper in hand, everything makes it a memorable experience. It has a history of welcoming and inspiring artists and one can see why.

Such a nice place. The vibes are so chill, cozy and coming from another time. The deserts were tasty but not anything special.

A very charming place hidden in the gardens of Schoenbrunn. The food is very tasty and there is a nice play area and a sand pit for kids. Try traditional dessert Kaiserschmarren - it was Kaiser's favorite.

If you are from out of town, this might be the Schönbrunn’s best kept culinary secret but it is well worth seeking out. It is tucked away in the corner of the park and not really signposted until you are almost on top of it so make sure you have the location on hand when you are in the park. It’s operated by one of Vienna’s finest coffee house operators but it is a charming and casual outdoor venue rather than a coffee house. The garden is full of whimsical colours and trees and lights. It’s just a beautiful location for a pit stop and the menu is similarly wonderful with top quality picnic/ brunch & breakfast dishes served through the day. The emphasis is on great quality fresh ingredients. If you want to eat and hang out where the locals eat, this is definitely the right choice. It’s rare to hear any foreign languages here. Please note that the Jausenstation is usually open late March to late October but check their website for the latest because it’s weather dependent. Please also note they do not open late in the evening. Closing time is usually around 8:00pm.

This is a magical place hidden in the garden. The waiter told us he came from Germany to Vienna to learn about how food culture should be and this restaurant really lets us experience great & healthy food with a view. They have a good choice of music and the food is of high quality. The grilled sausages included in the English breakfast are crispy and juicy. The pan fried tofu gives you a hint of Indian herbs which goes very well with the rockets. The banana coconut milkshake is refreshing enough and there is also a playground for kids.

Amazing place and atmosphere, seems to be in alice in wonderland having tea with the hatter and the rabbit. Coffee prices are higher than my standards (espresso 3.9€ and cappuccino 4.9€), lemonade is really good and I highly recommend going, even for a quick coffee.

In a beautiful corner of Schönbrunn gardens is Landtmann’s Jausen. The food was really mediocre and while the servers were friendly we only got half of our food and after apologising and advising us it would take 3 minutes to fix we waited 15 minutes for everything to be rectified. Then it appeared our server either finished for the day or went on an extended break.

had an awesome dinner here. Amazing place, ambience and service. Recommend this place for anyone after their trip to the palace. Had lemon chicken rice and it was great. Recommend it

This is a great place to take a break and get something to eat! It's very peaceful here! The service is nice and friendly. Located to the left and right of the restaurant is also a sandbox for the children and a place too relax for the adults!

A perfect place! Great food and nice atmosphere. Everything was extremely tasty! Can’t recommend it more!

This spot smelled like culinary heaven the second I walked in. And the food? Somehow tasted even better than it smelled—like, how?! Drinks were on point. 💯 The whole vibe was super relaxed and cozy, the kind of place you could lose track of time in. Service was sweet and friendly too. 🫶 Only reason it’s not a full 5? They’re cash-only—so bring bills or be ready to hunt for an ATM. 😅 Still totally worth it. Would 100% go back.

Went there during munch time, but they had outside tables available. Had the Fluffy Salmon (lacked flavor and too dry). Tried the Das Backhendl- fried chicken and that was worth it! Really nice side salad and nice cucumber yogurt sauce

Gluten free bread available but they do charge €2.70 for the privilege which is a little steep. Food is good quality. A bit overpriced and cash only.

We enjoyed a lovely brunch with great food and service. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food, everything is fresh and delicious. Options for vegans, vegetarians and everyone else. 10/10 we will come back! We were there for dinner and came back for breakfast and both times did not disappoint🤌🏼🤍

Fancy brunch place. The range in offer is original, and also adds seasonal variants to the menu. The portions are not massive but are big enough, and taking into account the type of ingredients, I believe the quantity served is well chosen. Quality wise, it seems clear that non less than above average raw material is used in the kitchen. Flavours where fun without fat or saltyness abuse. Food apart, my visit has been specially pleasant thanks to the service. With the place full in prime time, I was carefully attended, and offered an spot inside as soon it was available (truly appreciated in a chilling 3°C noon). My dish come in less than 10 minutes and it was lovely prepared. Attended this time by a young Norwegian guy specifically, but I want to believe that this is the standard service in the place. Hand down, among the very best in the city. This experience definitely pushes me to come back soon.

Charming coffee spot with good service and a cozy atmosphere. The selection of pastries and desserts was inviting, and the cappuccino melange was smooth and flavorful. It’s a lovely place to stop by and recharge during the day. The wooden interior, complemented by elegant chandeliers, gives it a warm and slightly vintage feel. Definitely worth a visit.

To me it seems a little bit overrated but don’t get me wrong it has great decoration and the food is okay. The wait could be frustrating. I didn’t have to because my friend was there before I arrive but I saw so many people waiting and I think it could take 30 minutes for them to seat.

Nice atmosphere. One of the oldest cafe. Served with nice cutlery. We had breakfast there. Order large breakfast, small breakfast and a egg benedict. Price is on the high side. Good served warm 🫰.

Café Schwarzenberg is a beautiful and historic café with a classic Viennese atmosphere. The coffee and pastries were excellent, and the staff were polite and professional despite being quite busy. During my visit, I did notice a couple of disgruntled customers who had a complaint and were ultimately given their meal for free. As I was leaving, one of them even joked loudly that she’d “try complaining every time” to get free meals, which was a bit surprising. That said, my own experience was very pleasant. The service was attentive, and the quality of food and drink was wonderful. I’d still recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy an authentic Viennese experience.

The food at this café was delicious. We tried several dishes and particularly enjoyed the Wiener Schnitzel and the spinach and cheese strudel. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided excellent customer service. Café Schwarzenberg is the oldest café on Vienna's Ringstrasse. There is a piano in the corner, and they offer free live music.

Badly received! I was with my big kids and a dog yesterday 39th August 2025 between 9:30 and 10 AM, for a breakfast. I asked politely to the server: is the dog allowed ? he gave me a dirty reply “ dog is allowed but not you!’ I could have turned by back and left but I didn’t react , I said so funny way to greet a client. Above all they needed tips . I gave them but not high tips anyway. For sure I will never step in there. Arrogant people. Then only guy smiling was an Indian guy i suppose with a steel bangle. The others no smile , how can they recruit people so arrogant. I can recruit better ones for them!!! It is a shame. 🥵 attitude has to change we are in the 22st century!!!

We had cakes only, they were all delicious, the staff is not very friendly but automatically asks for tip. A place between tradition and tourist attraction. Prices are very high.

a historical cafe in Vienna where Gustav Klimt used to hang out at. the food was good, some better than others. i strongly recommend apple strudel in warm sauce! it was the most amazing dish we had here. the location is central and the atmosphere was good and pleasant

Very nice restaurant and cozy. The egg benedicts were good, however the scrambled eggs were too oily. If your a big fan of coffee and looking for a cafe americano this will not make you fill your stomach you have to order at least another one. Apple struddle was 10/10.

The cappuccino is really good, with creamy milk foam that's rich and slightly sweet. Also, The Kaiserschmarren is sweet but not excessively so, fluffy, and perfectly matched with honey sauce—and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Though slightly pricey, it’s well worth a visit.

Cafe Museum is a very good choice during our Vienna trip. It is located at a very central area, where we can easily combine with our touring agenda (National Opera, Karlskirche). The place itself seems very gorgeous and exclusively fancy, yet the staffs and waitresses/ waiters are friendly and nice. The atmosphere is calm and quite quiet for such a popular venue. We had a Viennese Melange Coffee and a Cappuccino, both were good. Kaiserschmarrn was totally unmatched with the thick yet light and fluffy pancakes, which are also soft and moist inside while slightly crispy outside. It was served with berries and apple jams. I can only highly recommend it, though the prices are totally on the higher end. Spending a slow morning there was perfect to observe the local tradition of cafe house.

On the pricier side, this lovely café has plenty of outdoor seating when the weather is nice, and a great menu. The food is fantastic, and the service is prompt and welcoming. If budget isn’t an issue, it’s definitely worth trying local specialties like goulash or schnitzel.

If you are not a vegetarian, then this place is ok. But If you want some vegetables, they’ll make you pay around 20 Euros for some peppers and call it a main course… A complete disappointment! The difference between the two dishes of the pictures was minimal, and yet… I would recommend this place only for cakes and hot drinks.

For us Sacher, Strudel and Vienna melange coffee were one of the main point in this trip. This place is ideal to sit and try the Vienna sweets. Strudel with ice cream and vanilla cream is super tasty. Sacher cake is a bit dry, but also nice. Coffee melange in the small cup, tasty and nice. Friendly staff and comfortable view to the city.

Went for a lunch Pumpking soup was amazing and had unique tastes. Schnitzel was somewhat rough, and not so tender as I had tried in other places. We also ordered applestrudel, but as abaker i could say it wasn't the best: There was too much crumble inside, the slice with the sauce was heated in the microwave because a skin was formed, and there wasn't a balance of sweetness.

It’s a charming cafe in a historical building. Staff is funny and uncomplicated. We were going for a breakfast, but unfortunately it was nothing special. The bread tasted old, like it’s from yesterday. Drinks were okay…

We were staying very close by and found the café both very convenient, friendly and good service. Open hours very customer friendly. We had an early dinner on two occasions. I ordered a very tasty pork schnitzel and the second time the spinach- ricotta tortellini also very good. The atmosphere is very charming and cosy.

Came here after we walked by and liked the vibe inside. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of the cafe and thought was reasonably priced. They seemed to be a little understaffed, as wait times for ordering and paying were a bit more than normal, but not egregious. I got the sausages with mustard and horseradish and my wife got the Caesar salad, but we’re solid “meh” but the atmosphere was good enough for us to overlook the meal.

Café with good food but mediocre service This café is a sweet spot to have breakfast or a coffee and a cake. I would have given it 4 stars but I took a star off because the service is not very available. You have to keep looking for someone to flag to help you. The food was pretty good. We had their deconstructed pancakes and their breads which were very good. Their sacher torte and apple crumble were okay. Their lattes were good.

I actually went here three times in my week trip of Vienna, and I don’t usually come to a place again when im traveling. The food and atmosphere were great. Honestly the lunch dishes are average at best, but the sweets and coffees are lovely. So is the atmosphere, as this coffee is not in a heavy touristic area, you get some of the Viennese coffee culture ambience that is hard to get closer to downtown. Also, the sacher torte they serve here is amazing On the downside, the service could be better. The waiters although attentive and fast, are a but cold and uninterested. But for me is still a must.

I came to this place to have dinner with one more person. + It’s a local place and there were no tourists so the prices were naturally fair + Food tasted good and the menu offers a large variety + Friendly service +Great place to relax from the city and the service stuff doesn’t rush you to order or pay - In general I liked all the food we had but was slightly disappointed by their Apfelstrudel, I had better once in Vienna

The true Viennese atmosphere is here. For a coffee or a breakfast all day is good. Recommend this place 100%. You have to walk a bit outside the city centre but it’s worth it. Reasonable price and good food. Coffee is very good. Better to book a table, queue is often but it moves quick.

Absolutely brilliant experience. I came here from a review to enjoy "classic Vienna cafe experience". And I think I got exactly that! The place was nice, with the furniture and layout feeling very authentic. Around us were local people. Having their morning coffee and reading newspaper. The coffee, pastry and egg sausage were all great. Highly recommend the Sperl chocolate cake! We went there at around 9AM, and no wait time needed however around 30' later there was already a waiting line formed. Highly recommend this place!

Though located slightly further from city center, the price per portion was much better than some of the other cafes. Staff was also very friendly, and gave us the choice of where to sit, instead of immediately deciding for us. The weiner schnitzel was succulent and wasn't too filling, which was great, as it allowed room for a cup of coffee and dessert. The included potato salad is my personal favorite from all the restaurants I've eaten - there isn't as much acidity, and much "smoother" to eat. It's so good that I could eat just the salad as a main dish. The apple strudel was also excellent. Instead of apple chunks, the pie was layered with thin apple slices. The sourness of the apples combined with the whipped cream were a perfect match. Despite my short stay in Vienna, this is definitely my go to place the next time I return.

I really wanted to try one of the traditional cafes in Vienna, and this is the one we chose. It was really nice in the inside, probably with the same decor since when it opened, but it had a lot of charm. The Sperl Torte was really delicious and both coffees were great too. Service was very good and slow, as expected. :-) I can imagine the "slow living" they are famous for.

I’ve been cafe-hopping around Vienna, and Cafe Sperl truly stands out — the food quality here is far more delicious than many other popular spots. Tucked away in a quaint corner, it feels like a hidden gem beloved by locals. I didn’t bump into any other tourists during my visit. The staff are lovely, and the place exudes a peaceful old-world charm and timeless elegance. I wish I lived in Vienna so I could come back more often. Thank you for such a wonderful experience — and as a bonus, it’s one of the filming locations from Before Sunrise, which adds a touch of movie magic to the visit!

Best Sacher torte I ever had! The brownie was also very delicious! Service was great! Helpful, gentle but not pretentious or intrusive.

The cafe is really cute and cozy. Family friendly and great atmosphere. The coffee is really tasty. The prices are absolutely normal! They’ve got really wealthy sweets that you should taste!

A great place when staying close to city centre: quick service and tasty food made my day and day of my colleagues. The time was after 17, still not overcrowded but better to book upfront when considering to stay there for the later dinner as most of the tables were booked. Thanks to waiters!

One of the famous cafes in Vienna This place is awesome, big enough for you not to wait to get in, The food is absolutely delicious. We took the classic Viennese breakfast and bacon & eggs WOW! super tasty, really recommend! You should visit there when you gonna be in Vienna.

The apple strudel is out of this world! The layers of apple and thin crust are baked to perfection. The plum dumpling an absolute delicious and well worth the 15 minute wait. The café is large but bustling and full. Clearly well loved by the public. We learnt about the café from a friend who used to frequent the café. Very grateful for the recommendation.

Lovely coffee house, a unique mix of old school furniture and flair combined with light filled rooms with high ceilings, lovely vibe. Ample outside seating as well, inside you can also find the numerous newspapers to browse. Super nice Topfenstrudel, very Topfen forward. Coffee is available in decaf as well, and waiters are quite quick and friendly, some more than others but I felt well cared for. I also liked the cups and plates in Prückel design.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A Perfect Introduction to Vienna’s Coffeehouse Culture Café Prückel was the first stop on a coffeehouse tour my friends and I took through Vienna with a local guide — and what an introduction it was. Located right in the heart of the city, this café delivered the perfect mix of charm, history, and warm hospitality that defines the traditional Viennese coffeehouse experience. ⸻ Atmosphere: Café Prückel has a classic, old-school charm that immediately sets the tone. From the vintage décor to the elegant lighting and cozy seating, it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and take it all in. It’s easy to see why locals and travelers alike keep coming back. ⸻ Coffee & Sweets: This was my first real Viennese coffeehouse experience, and it absolutely set the bar high. The coffee was excellent, rich and smooth, served in true traditional style. We also tried a selection of pastries and sweets, which were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. ⸻ Experience: What made the visit even more enjoyable was the laid-back, unhurried vibe. Despite being a popular spot, it never felt rushed or overly touristy. It was simply a genuinely pleasant experience — a great way to ease into the day and soak in a bit of Viennese culture. ⸻ Final Thoughts: If you’re new to Vienna’s café scene, Café Prückel is a fantastic starting point. It’s elegant but approachable, traditional yet welcoming — and it set the perfect tone for the rest of our coffeehouse tour. Highly recommended for first-timers and coffee lovers alike.

Great Viennese cafe with long history and magnificent architectural design. Originally opened in 1903, it was redesigned in 50th by famous architect Oswald Haerdtl. Most of his work has been preserved and restored recently. You can still sit on his original chairs and sofas and, please, do not miss all the light fixtures. It's truly one of a kind and brings the whole aesthetic of the place together. It's quite busy cafe, so I would suggest making a reservation. You might need to wait a little for a waiter, as they all are busy attending many other hungry customers. The food was good, as expected. We opted for a schnitzel, and it didn't disappoint. Don't forget to check out on the latest news at the newspaper rack - old Viennese tradition. Those newspaper holders with hooks are beyond cute.

Had a coffee and a strudel. They almost fit the price tag expectations.. not really - espresso was ok, strudel had many fiberous apple shells in them - had way better strudel for half price before. I waited good 10 mins to pay after I asked the staff for it. Lady who waited my table got nervous whether the payment went through and even when I wanted to show her phone notification the money left my account she only spiralled down her nervous mood. I was in a hurry by then, apologised to have to leave before she can ‘do her thing’ checking if payment arrived. But I loved the interior..

Very mediocre schnitzel, didn’t taste very authentic. huge portion but overpriced for the taste. Wish they had smaller portions for less price. Waitress was kind of rude for actively asking for 10% tip. Save your money and go somewhere else

Perfect! Just perfect ❤️🇦🇹 Great spot for an Austrian lunch in Vienna.. Great atmosphere, food and very friendly staff... We had Wienerschnitzels, Zwiebelrostbrat and another great dish. Plenty of beers 🍻 Highly recommend 👏

So nice! Very warm and inviting, and the best Austrian food that I had for the entire weekend that I was here. I would definitely recommend the beef goulash and chicken schnitzel.

It is a shame. I have read a blog from some years ago, and this place was recommended, that is why i went there. Before going, of course i checked the google rating and the comments. There were some comments like “it is not like before”, “a tourist scam”, “the food doesn’t match the price” etc. I went anyways. It was booked until 20:00 so I have waited for 20:00. I took Tafelspitz & beer, my brother got another food (i don’t remember the name but i added the photo). The waiters were very unsympathetic from the beginning. When the food arrived, i couldn’t believe how small the portion was. They even deceived the look on the plate by putting the bigger peace of meat above, as if the one below is the same size—- it was way smaller. I payed almost 29 euros for that plate and when i left the restaurant I was still hungry. Regarding taste, it was OK. But my evaluation criteria is mainly if it worths my money and it didn’t . When it comes to service, it was sooooo slow. And again, the waiters make you feel bad with their attitude. When it was time for the payment, after waiting for a big while again, we seen the information notice regarding the tips. We didn’t want to give a tip. The waiter asked us if we want to give a tip (if we would, we would have mentioned before he puts the machine the value, i didn’t find it nice either), i said no we don’t want to, he replied in german this time “vielen dank” such passive aggressively. Very unnice. Normally waiters first ask if everything was okay, if we enjoy our time etc. This guy didn’t care and just wanted extra money for literally nothing. Or not nothing, a loss. Because i would have had much better experience with the money i spent there in any other place most likely. So, i do not understand how this place is still fully booked until 20:00 that we had to wait?! I regret going there in my a few days of vacation here & with my limited money, i feel i wasted it. The bad comments were all right. **i forgot to mention: they placed us in such bad table that the other customers were stepping on our feet constantly & whenever the waiter goes to tables around us, we had weird physical contacts to the waiter . We-ird! “Vielen dank!”

Horrible, horrible place. I have lived in Vienna for 25+ years. I normally only write positive comments. But this is the worst restaurant ever. Very limited selection of dishes. Hopelessly overpriced. Awful service: when my friend and I wanted to order only soup they claimed they didn‘t have any left (and commented they are no soup kitchen). Refused to serve us water. I recommend to avoid this place. There are much better places in the immediate vicinity.

Very cosy restaurant with friendly service abd very nice food. Soups and snitzels were the really good, same as apple strudel. Book a table 👍

I’m Austrian and I visited with my spanish friend as they wanted to go. This place is below average in terms of food (there are better places around) and extremely expensive for what you get. The interior is traditional and waiters are friendly though.

They had some nice summer specials that were just right for hot weather- different salads. The fruit drinks were good and not too sweet. The service was good but slow- it took me time to get something I needed from time to time. But they are friendly and willing to serve. The apple strudel was good. It was worth getting. I have had better but definitely it was good. The whipped cream is not real whipped cream but it tasted good. I also like that the restaurant is at street level as that was convenient with my special needs son. The walls have posters of current and past things going on in the city. It is fun to look around and see them and see what this city puts together for entertainment.

Came here for the Apple Strudel, reach about 7.30pm. Still has few tables available, no waiting is required. The Goulash soup is nice. Apple strudel filling is fabulous but the sweetness level is slightly at the over sweet (as I prefer less sweet). One thing I recommend the restaurant is to install some fan to keep the air circulated or switch on the air conditioner, as we are sweating & most other customers also fan for air. Waiter told me tips is a must for this restaurant.

It’s a good place overall: the food was tasty and the schnitzel was really good: crispy and with a thin batter. That said, it’s a bit pricier than average. They seem to target tourists by automatically adding a 10% tip, and even tap water costs €0.80. Because of those things, it doesn’t feel like a great place to me. But if you don’t mind the extra charges, the food itself is definitely tasty!

We took part in a guided tour and our guide Michael recommended this place and because he was born in Vienna and obviouslyhas lived here so we followed his advice. Great atmosphere, awesome food and such a helpful waiter who patiently survived my basic German. We ate schnitzel, kartifeln, drank a lot of water and Wiener coffee. I can recommend it as well. It was worth visiting.

I came in around noon, had a breakfast maybe one of the best Eggs Hollandaise I've had 🥰 The staff are nice, the atmosphere is cozy and rustic. The authenticity of this place is a charm! They also have posters on all the upcoming events, good catch!

Kaffee Alt Wien certainly delivers on the authentic, old-school Viennese coffee house atmosphere—the setting is the best part of the experience. We were seated immediately and the server was pleasant, though not particularly warm. I ordered the Schnitzel to try the local fare. The preparation was technically correct (the coating separated, indicating hot oil), but the dish itself was unfortunately not that good and felt quite average. Given the quality of the meal, it's not cheap here. For the price point and overall value, I won’t be coming back again. Come only if the historic, non-touristy atmosphere is your main priority.

We planned to check out the other famous restaurant then pumped into this one. It’s actually a good choice that we have the table right away with great service and very nice waiter. Recommended option when you are nearby in Vienna

This restaurant is great. I had the best lentil soup ever! I think they are baking their own bread, it was warm and delicious. The place is lovely, green, vibrant but somehow calm and perfect for dinner or drinks. Staff is very nice! Will revisit.

Urban's Lounge in Vienna offered an excellent experience overall, with notably friendly and attentive service—even without speaking any German, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, making it a great spot for a happy hour with friends. The food presentation stood out, especially the burrata trio with caramelized figs, which was outstanding in both flavor and texture. While the pizza was a bit disappointing and didn’t quite meet expectations, the dessert, a lava cake, was decent though not particularly memorable. Prices were reasonable, and the presence of a kids' menu was a nice bonus for families.

The young man at the counter, without hesitation, asked me whether he should add a service charge to my card or if I preferred to pay it in cash—this was just for collecting two takeaway pizzas. I was stunned by the boldness of the request. I politely declined, but the directness felt far too pushy for a simple takeaway. Staying opposite, I had hoped to return again, but after this experience, they won’t be seeing me again.

Delicious food, we tried a couple of hamburgers. Their kitchen opens late for lunch, which is a plus for a restaurant close to the central station. But the best part is the service, really nice people and they made sure we were comfortable as it was raining outside and it got colder. Also, it is not pricy!

I will give here a 8/10. This was an accident that I went to this restaurant. Due to it near by my hotel. The atmosphere here was quite nice, the waitress also really nice! She brought a night light to my table when outside getting darker. The meal was so big! I already ordered the smaller size of pizza but it still can share with two persons. The taste also really good, can match the price! Let’s me want to try others in the menu. But the white wine which I ordered was too tasteless. It likes a water. Overall, will come back!

Decent prices and large serving sizes, love that they have wifi and a nice cool courtyard ✨ the crispy chicken burger is a crowd favorite 🐖

Great local food, the burger I had such fresh bread. The portions were fantastic. The server explained things well and was super prompt. No language barrier.

Their "cocoa chicken" might just be the most glorious take on fried chicken you'll ever taste! Super succulent and flavourful. Their cocktails are very good too.

Great lunch special served quickly. Wonderful service in English or Deutsch. They only serve the special at lunch so check their instagram or website to make sure it's something you'll want.

DELICIOUSSSS! That’s all you need to know! We tried appetizers, food and desserts and they were all just AMAZING!! It really doesn’t happen often that all the options we have taken in a restaurant surprises us by how great they taste! I hope this magical chef stays here forever!

Small restaurant with modern chic decor and a relaxing atmosphere. We stopped by for a late lunch and were thoroughly satisfied by the simple menu, tasty dishes as well as the kind service.

Great place to have dinner and enjoy a drink with friends or couple. Food was really good and the service was excellent. I recommend.

If I could rate it 6, I would definitely do! Amazing food, warm hospitality and great service! All the required ingredients for wonderful dinner!!

Best food we had in Vienna. Contemporary and well made. The place and atmosphere is relaxed and service was super friendly and attentive.

We came at around 11 am on monday morning. We were at the bar looking in the menu to order drinks and food. The man behind the bar was arguing on the phone. When he finished the call, he said we had to leave because he was closing up. So despite the opening hours on the door, they were not open.

Best cafe in Vienna!!! High recommend the food(carefully and strictly chosen I heard) and the atmosphere is very welcoming and chill. Best services ever :) A very kind lady who runs the cafe is really passionate about each selections(interior, food) and amazingly knowledgeable about Hundertwasser. Definitely going to visit again if I come to Vienna next time. Friendly and chill ;)

I visited this cafe recently and enjoyed the atmosphere. However, my experience was marred by the manager’s behavior. After working on my laptop for about two hours, I was abruptly told that laptop use isn’t allowed, which felt unreasonable, especially since I was in a meeting. It seemed like the manager wanted to free up the table for more customers, which was disappointing. I hope they improve their approach in the future.

Best sandwiches I have ever had if I could give 10 stars I would. Amazing customer service too and not very expensive.

Very cool art cafe with the nicest staff and fancy beverages

Great place, really nice atmosphere and the service! Delicious coffee and apple strudel.

Very very charming area. You should check it out around and not navigate yourself to one cafe spot like I did. This cafe spot, oh god. It's another touristy hype. The coffee was nothing to brag about. The cake was good, but guess what, when it was brought out, my spoon was definitely not cleaned. It still retained residual from a previous eater. Yup. The place is small, so you'd be uncomfortably sitting there staring at a babbling screen, while tourists check out souvenirs near you. I'd say, just walk around.

Very friendy and fast service. Excellent vienese traditional food offers, top value for money.

Wonderful restaurant! On a business trip from the USA, we stopped here for a nice Austrian dinner. English menus were provided, and our server also spoke great English. The restaurant had a very comfortable atmosphere and was clearly not a tourist trap. The food and beer were outstanding. This will definitely be on my list when I return to Vienna!

What a great place. We were visiting Vienna and discovered this gem. Wonderful schnitzel cooked exquisitely. Great menu, English also supplied. Economically priced, beer and wine at realistic prices. Everyone should know about this place! Great service with authentic atmosphere. Well done to all who help to operate this business.

Bring cash!! I’ll start with that as it catches a few people out. However, BRING CASH, NO CARDS TAKEN!! Aside from that, it’s probably the best Viennese experience you can have. The waiters and owners are warm and welcoming. The beer is Czech and delicious, the food is filling and cooked fresh. The courtyard is great in the summer as there is plenty of shade and it’s as peaceful as the customers.

Real Viennese kitchen. In summer there are tables on the inner garden and live music. Good prices with abundant portions. Great place to go with groups!

Great schnitzel. Very nice service. Little bit far away from the main centre but worth to step in. Prices quite low as for Vienna.

A good place to gather before or after a football game at Happel-Stadium. Food and drinks are ok - traditional Viennese restaurant.

Super-friendly and helpful staff. I visited the place two times during my stay in Vienna and it was filled with a welcoming atmosphere. I'm allergic to tomatoes and when there was no sandwich available without them, the lady made a sandwich specially for me, which was extremely kind - i've never met with such approach in other places. One conclusion - the place is worth visiting! 🥰

Highly recommend this place! I absolutely loved the donut and the eclair. The coffee is delicious too! Great variety and quick service. We would definitely visit again.

On our way to the Belvedere, we found this cute bakery and the huge selection directly caught us. The lady was extremely nice and even though there was a long queue, we were served very fast.

Two very kind and sweet ladies work there and the pastry was so delicious every time. So much variety to choose from and for good price. Everything was fresh and tasty.

Went today for a breakfast - got burned coffee that cost almost 6 euros (flat white with oatmilk) and Eggs Benedict where they messed up the sauce and it tastes sour. Money terribly spent but at least the photo is good I guess

Extremely delicious and fresh, even in the afternoon! We ate a donut with coconut (enormous, lots of cream inside, lots of coconut flakes on top, great price for such portion). The other thing we ate was a puff pastry with cinnamon and nuts - OH MY GOD. Super puffy and crunchy. The lady inside patiently waited as we were trying to decide what to order. 10/10 service and food

Lovely local bakery selling an array of breads, sandwiches, pastries and sweet treats. We visited a couple of times during our visit and the pastries and doughnuts were great. They also serve hot drinks for takeout. The staff were friendly and accommodating of our lack of German! A great stop-off for a treat to kickstart the day.

Went for the food, stayed for the vibe! The schnitzel is of course the most famous thing to eat here but I personally loved the goulash and the beef roast too. Loved the old world charm, and the staff was super kind. You have to book in advance because they fill up soon! They have one vegetarian option.

Our favourite meal in Vienna! Friendly service and great food. Recommend the beef steak with onions ! Charming restaurant with plenty of indoor and outdoor seats. Board games also available

During my recent visit to Vienna, I dined at this restaurant and had one of the best schnitzels I’ve ever tasted.The staff greeted us and made us feel genuinely welcomed. They even try to make a surprise birthday gesture for my husband!

The ultimate authentic Austrian restaurant. It's worth booking in advance because when we went all the tables were taken. During dinner, several people were turned away who had not booked a table. Prices are high even by Viennese standards, I guess it's the quality, taste and familiarity. When I was there, I thought that this place was opened some time ago and hasn't been touched since...it's like that.

Had a wonderful and memorable time here. The staff were so friendly, especially the waiter, who gave us great recommendations. The food was prepared nicely, portions were plentiful, and the beer was great. We were seated outside and got to enjoy the beautiful weather and atmosphere. We loved it.

We had a great experience. The Wiener Schnitzel was absolutely delicious and came in a generous portion. The potato salad on the side was fresh and tasty as well. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. We were a couple and a 2 year old child, the staff gave us papers and pencils for her to draw and pass the time while waiting.

You if come to Vienna and you stay close to Schonbrunn it is MANDATORY to eat here ! Genuine Wiener schnitlz with brat kartoffel , palacinke and bier ! TOP TOP. Wonderful inside . It is like when have been opened in 1805 ! very nice atmosphere and very kind staff. Come and you'll be very happy. And not expensive

A cozy cafe with interiors ideal for a nice breakfast. The options are decent and the breakfast we ordered was good too. The beetroot hummus was quite tasty. And yeah the peanut butter brownie was recommended. Was nice; a bit too sweet but that’s subjective.

This was easily the worst dining experience I’ve ever had. I waited 40 minutes for a single French toast, when the place wasn’t even remotely busy at around 1230pm. The staff were friendly and nice, but sadly it’s hard to make up for the late food. You’d at least think that after waiting that long it’ll taste good, but it was mediocre at best. Chai latte was too sweet and not a single taste of masala either. The chocolate cake was decent though.

What a great cafe in Vienna! The service & atmosphere was excellent! My husband got The Das Alm which was wonderful. Scrambled eggs, smoked ham, goat cheese & baby spinach on toast. I got the Das Englische which was baked beans, mini sausages, bacon, grilled tomatoes, fried egg & toast. Very good! We would recommend this cafe if you want a nice place to have brunch. .

I was looking for a breakfast place in Vienna, and this was an amazing spot to stop! Very busy when I went, but I was able to find a table and be served quickly and kindly. I am celiac, so the gluten free bread was a great addition and the eggs were delicious! The flat white was also one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend coming here!

Lovely brunch place! The atmosphere is super relaxed and welcoming .. a really cool spot to hang out and spend some time. The brunch options are delicious and very filling

I was absolutely happy to have followed the suggestion from my friend, who was really curious to visit this nice place, and she was right, I had a wonderful breakfast there. Recommended.

Just awesome. Been a long time since I had such a delicious breakfast. Great coffee and drinks, too. Very friendly and attentive staff.

It was the finest places for lunch. Staying in Vienna for few weeks, this place couldn’t have been better. The food was homely, healthy and delicious as well. Must go place.

I thoroughly recommend Karma Food for anyone attending Messa Wien for a conference. This small local eatery provided excellent vegetarian and vegan food. If you can, sit outside in the courtyard for a lovely relaxing lunch. There are also a few seats inside and the option to take away.

Anna has been an amazing host at this place, and the food was so filling and lovely. Give Anna a raise! Highly recommend this place for vegetarian food in Austria

Simply amazing. Been there twice. Had the breakfast taco's and Indian breakfast and both were super. Highly recommended! Ps: Bring the old chutney back that came with the Indian breakfast !! The current tomato one really makes the dish a lot less good. Still amazing though. But the old chutney really gave that extra edge ! My GF also enjoyed the old grilled cheese sandwich much more than the current one !

Nice cozy atmosphere.Great customer service as well.

Indian breakfast was a flavour adventure! Included a chai tea also which was amazing. Granola and coffee were also top notch. Definitely worth a try!

Brilliantly good breakfast! We had the Tofu Scramble and Shashuka. Both were equally yummy. Also recommend the orange-ginger-rosemary tea. Super

My husband and I didn’t have a reservation, but found a table at around 4pm on a Friday. We sat down in the basement area, which had amazing atmosphere! We ordered goulash soup, typical Viennese sausage with horseradish and mustard, Wiener schnitzel, steak with onions and kaiserschmarrn for dessert. The goulash soup had a lot of vegetables and meat inside and wasn’t spiced and salted as much, which for me made it easier to enjoy. The sausage was interesting, as it was more finely grinded than I know. Big plus for fresh horseradish! The schnitzel was a bit thicker than I thought it’d be, but was very good, especially with lemon and the side I ordered - potato salad. The steak was amazing - so juicy! The onions were deep fried and pretty salty. The dish came with baked potatoes. The dessert - kaiserschmarrn, was huge but delicious. They were eggy chopped up pancakes, that also had a crisp from caramelised sugar. It came with warm plums and cherries. I also enjoyed a nice glass of non alcoholic beer ❤️

Wonderful little place that has a main menu and daily specials.... Great service and you can sit outside as well at a very reasonable price.....

What a lovely spot to try the local cuisine, the schnitzel was great and the sweet as well. But tbh the sweet was a bit too much for one person so if you are there and want to try Kaiserschmarren try to have someone with you or you will feel a bit heavy for the rest of the day. And the waitress was really nice I don’t know her name but she for sure makes you feel like you are one of the regulars.

They managed to seat our group of 7 with only a 30 minute prior reservation! This place was a lot less crowded and touristy than the other restaurants nearby, and the atmosphere was nice. In addition, the service was friendly and the food was delicious. There are a lot of options for schnitzel (big portions of it, too!), and the salad that it comes with has the traditional potato salad and cucumber salad too, which was a tasty bonus. We found the prices to be pretty good for what it was and the surrounding areas, but of course, still not crazy cheap or anything. Try the Hollerblütensaft! Sehr gut und lecker!!

Fantastic restaurant with very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Better than the long queue at cafe central. Please bring cash. Chrissie was the best.

Great food, best local food we've tasted in vienna !! 😇

Excellent food, fast service, and very pleasant staff! And great price! Loved it!

Schweizerhaus is a must-visit restaurant in Vienna, especially if you’re at Prater. The atmosphere is lively and traditional, with a huge beer garden that’s perfect for enjoying sunny days. The highlight is definitely the Stelze (crispy roasted pork knuckle) – it’s perfectly cooked, juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. The portions are large, so it’s great for sharing. Their freshly poured beer is also excellent and pairs perfectly with the food. Service is fast and efficient despite the crowds, and the whole place has a very authentic Viennese charm. If you want to experience local food and atmosphere, Schweizerhaus is the place to go!

We walked in without a reservation. When we asked a staff member, we were told to ask another staff member, and this happened twice. I think it’s better to make a reservation in advance. There were only a few staff working and they seemed very busy, so it took some time to place additional orders. However, the wait for food and drinks was not long, and everything was very delicious! We really enjoyed our meal there.

Its really good but dont make our mistake and dont order pork knuckle for 1 person its way too much food, the staff dont care for reserved tables and tell us sit where isn’t reserved so its a 10-20 mins searching for a table without reservation sign

We were happy to have a try tasty pork Nuckel and a variety kinds of beer in a traditional Vienna style here. The pork Nuckel is visually pleasing and delicious, especially for Asian people. I think the atmosphere here is great. The location is good too! You can visit the prater amusement park next door after your meal, after digestion of course. All in all this place deserves recommendations for all kinds of travelers.

Everything was perfect. Schweizerhaus special was really big and can easily be for 2-3 persons. We didn't had the reservation but the guy's who work there find as a table, it was crowded a lot. Food was perfect all recommendations if you are visiting Vienna. There is also Prater nearby and paid parking.

The food was good and it looked exactly like the pictures. But the service was not that great, mostly because the server was overwhelmed by the amount of people, maybe the kitchen as well. We wanted to order more but we got ignored because the server was in a rush. There were a group of young local boys that waited for about 40 minutes to get a pint. Same for a family of 3, 40 mina just to get the order.

This is a large beer garden in Prater. It has a huge outdoor dining area so even without a reservation you have a good chance at finding an open table to just sit down at and a waiter will come around to you. The service was a bit strange, they were kinda pushy for you to order what they wanted you to order rather than what you asked for and because I’m spineless I relented but with a bit of regret. They also overcharged us but disappeared before I could challenge the receipt and never came back. The food is good though, not great but good. Because their service is just about as sour as their beer I would not recommend this place.

This place is overrated. The oversized fried pork didn’t impress me, and the side dish (potatoes salad) was too sour—something to balance the flavors would have improved it. The prices are quite high, especially given that the restaurant is named "The Beggar Students." But then again, this is Austria—things tend to be expensive, so either bring a card or plenty of cash.

Quite good and tasty food. The schnitzel was delicious and large, served with a potato salad — unusual one, but good! We also tried the seasonal autumn menu — the pumpkin cream soup was really nice. The restaurant staff were friendly. A good place to eat, I recommend it!

Excellent food and beer, a true austrian food experience. Great stube/pub atmosphere inside. Outdoor seating available. Reasonably priced and not busy when we were there at around 7pm. Highly recommended.

The food was delicious! Seating outside was nice on a sunny day.

Went to try the Austrian snitzel. It's ok, maybe it's not to my tasting. I think it's quite flat tasting . Loved the ottrekringer beer though and their soups.

Great place. I ordered local Austrian cuisine and was pleased. For this money I ate deliciously and was very pleased. The service was excellent, the waiter was quite peculiar, in a good way. Reasonable prices for an establishment located in the very center of Vienna.

Very good food and atmosphere. I Recommend it when visiting Vienna. Friendly staff.

You’ll get One of the best local food which is too tasty. Got recommended by the hostel I was staying and it dint disappoint. The service was great, amazing people, they actually tried to help me figure out the best food (as I don’t eat beef) Highly recommended

What a bee-utiful little cafe. Came here for a breakfast and the vibes are immaculate. Do note that it is an Austrian tradition to spend a long time enjoying coffee/food while having long conversations. The service staff are helpful and hilarious, tho not all speak English (there is an English menu). The food also was so very lovely, and I enjoyed sitting outside while sipping my coffee. Will be back soon!

We visited this restaurant with great excitement to try traditional Austrian food. At first, everything seemed promising – we ordered a soup to start, which we all really enjoyed. Then our main courses arrived (the schnitzels), and unfortunately that’s when the experience changed. In my dish, I found a feather (or something similar). I discreetly and politely informed the staff and asked if they could change the plate. After quite a long wait, they brought me back the exact same plate, saying that the kitchen had simply removed it. I explained again that this was unacceptable and that I needed a new dish. Only after more waiting and a rather unpleasant attitude from the staff, the manager finally replaced it. To make things worse, the prices were very high for what we got. For example, we ordered a salad that was literally just a few lettuce leaves placed in a row on a plate (I have a photo), and they charged €10.50 for it. Even tap water was charged extra. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, both in terms of service and value for money. Honestly, I am surprised how so many people keep visiting this place

Great place to have your first original Vienn schnitzel, for the fare price! A complimented with a great variety of wine , you’ll have a great dinner! Recommend to visit! Staff is amazing, very grateful that they were helpful with suggestions! Totally will come back when I visit the city! PS: the schnitzel was very delicious , this is why the plate in the pic is empty!

Hands down, the best Melange in town. This place is one of the best REAL coffee houses in Vienna, The breakfast menu is just amazing. I adore this place and the location of it. The cute silent streets of Vienna with lots of details...don't miss if you're in Wien💫

Absolutely love this place. First time we came here we had coffee & cake at 10am. Delicious cake, classic setty, lots of local regulars and charming waiters. Second time, night cap at 10.30pm on a Sunday, fantastic neighborhood bar serving spritz late. Great atmosphere.

Wonderful restaurant.The staff were incredibly kind and when we asked, they even brought us blankets, which made our evening so cozy. The food was absolutely delicious, probably the best we had in Vienna. I highly recommend trying the goulash, both as a soup and as a main dish, and the beer was excellent too. A place worth visiting!

Food was excellent- 5 stars for authentic Austrian cuisine with local ingredients. The staff is very sweet and you can tell they love the food they make. We had really good pork schnitzel, chocolate and beer goulash, pumpkin vegetable, and fried fritter with apricot for dessert. Wine selection of local wine was good. Atmosphere is more old school so doesn’t feel as upscale dining. While the service was very sweet and kind, it was slow. We had to wait 15 min between a starter and an entrees even though all the order was placed at the beginning and the dessert we ordered didn’t say it would take 17-20 min like another one but after waiting 15-20 min we were told that one too. Likely would not have ordered if if we knew that. And then we waited another 15 min to pay the bill. If service time was better, our rating would be a 4.5. Better than most places you find near city center that are up-charged and touristy.

A family favorite. Absolutely excellent food made with locally sourced ingredients and a creative take on Austrian traditional cuisine. The decor is really neat, with all sorts of special touches and fun, contemporary art. If you reserve a lane in advance, you can bowl in the funky two-lane bowling alley downstairs before your meal. The person who served us spoke English, Italian, and French (in addition to German) and really made us feel at home. On top of everything else, the people who run this restaurant absolutely love what they do, and this care shows in every detail.

Delicious local food and great atmosphere (especially in the outside patio). The owner was really kind and dedicated. We had schnitzel, gulash and traditional pancakes and everything was amazing. Really recommended!

Local Neighborhood A Hidden Gem in Vienna's Local Neighborhood This small, local restaurant is truly a pearl tucked away in a quiet residential area near the Best Western hotel in Vienna. From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic, and the personal touch of the staff made the entire evening feel special- not just the dinner, but the whole experience. The food was absolutely delicious- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was fantastic: attentive, friendly, and genuinely hospitable. It’s rare to find a place where you feel so personally cared for as a guest. We visited as a family with two teenagers and two adults, and we all enjoyed it immensely. Everyone found something to love, and we came back there next evening. Highly recommended if you are looking for great food, warm service, and a true local experience in Vienna. If you are looking for the local drink experience- ask the team to Surprise you with a portion of locally made Schnaps. Thank you!

This restaurant is just perfect! The food, the atmosphere and the people working here are incredibly nice and friendly. The waiter was a great host who was eager to give us an amazing experience. If you want to taste Austrian cuisine, this is the perfect choice!

Very cool and modern atmosphere, the team is quite young, full of energy and smile. The best Kaiserschmarren I ever had in Vienna until now. I’d come back for sure. Other dieses were also full of taste, I’d try something different next time.

We had a great experience throughout, would recommend to anyone who want a good experience with tasty Austrian food. The service was exceptional, as they created an extra spot for us, with our hungry son onboard. The food was great with probably the best chicken soup ever served to our son, and the waiter was a great host who was eager to give us a good experience and explaining the details of their Austrian cuisine. Give them a try, if you want to try authentic Austrian food served with a passion.

I got the Nutella and vanilla kaiserschmarrn and it was delicious, instantly became one of my favorite desserts. The staff were extremely friendly and spoke to me about my time in Vienna whilst I waited. It’s a little bit pricey at €8.50, but the portion sizes are big and it tasted so good I didn’t care.

Great Kaiserschmarrn with lots of topping options and just the right level of sweetness - not too much, perfectly balanced. Portions are decent, and everything tastes fresh and delicious. Definitely worth trying!

Great spot in front of the Opera house. Delicious Kaiserchmarrn, not too sweet at all. I love sweets, but I know when it’s too sweet, and this was not the case at all!

Nice kaiserschmarren but not the best in Vienna. Coffee was average but overall a nice experience :) The girl serving was very friendly

Wow these are sooo good! Kind of like a bubble waffle but better! Warm, moist not too bready. Perfect amount of good stuff on top!

First time trying scrambled sweet pancakes, it is a bit too sweet for my liking but otherwise great texture, soft and slightly chewy! I love that it comes with ice cream, I had coconut option and the coconut bits and almond flakes were great addition. Straight forward to order, options on the screen and owner is very nice. Card payment is okay, you pay when you order at the till, so good for solo travellers.

the staff is super friendly, i remember having a very good conversation with the owner of the place he was super friendly. their kaiserschmarn is very good, i remember getting it with ice cream raspberries and nutella (not very authentic) but it goes very well with it. one note, i think they should open up a bit more, the smell of the butter is very strong.

Gorgeous vegan and gluten-free cafe. The woman serving was so friendly and the cakes incredible. Highly recommend the banana torte. Yum!

Very cozy vegan place with delicious desserts and nice worker )) I really enjoyed it 💚

Small vegan cafe with baked goods and coffees. I got the affogato and it was delicious with vegan ice cream. Not the most comfortable inside as they only have 4 tables and hard wooden chairs, and no public bathrooms, but the staff is kind and will let you use the staff bathrooms ahah would return again for good vegan coffee and treats

Lovely small Cafe and bakery dedicated to gluten-free and vegan pastries. We visited at lunch time for a cake but this day they had and some sour option on the menu - Salad with Falafel, humus and rice that we decided to try, was really delicious! We also had two of their sweets -Peanut-butter-banana cake and a Coconut muffin - both tasted great, moist and not overly sweet! For stuff that is vegan and gluten free their bakes are excellent because it's very difficult to replace milk, butter and eggs with ingredients that don't make the dough gritty and dry especially when you also bake with Gluten-free flour! My admiration to the owners that have found the right recipes for their pastries. We saw they have also written a book with gluten-free and vegan recipes, so look forward to seeing it translated in English :) Very kind and helpful staff, we'll definitely visit again, thank you for the delicious food!

Great vegan cafe! The place is very small and cozy, they have a short menu but everything seems vegan, organic, handmade and delicious. Plus they have a really kind multilingual waitress that made our time there easier.

I loved the raspberry coconut cake 😋 And the power ball. Was made of nuts, dates and sesame. It’s a small cozy cafe with nice staff. Service is good. Have different kinds of milk for coffee. So I would really go back again next time.

I ordered a gluten-free vegan carrot cake from Rafaela for my birthday. It was so delicious (and, as many omnivores claimed, didn't taste like a gluten-free vegan cake) that we came for a visit. It's such a lovely & cosy place with a wide selection of gluten free and vegan cakes, cookies and muffins. Excellent coffee! It gets busy very fast.

They have a huge selection and the store is clean and pretty! I ordered an Apfelstrudel for 3,60€. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with it. The Apfelstrudel was completely cold. I think most people prefer their dessert to be warm and fresh.. but eating it felt like eating frozen desert from the supermarket :( I think it’s unfortunately very overpriced for what you get.

The service is terrible, very rude, the cafe is very light, too much water, very bad

Great pastries and nice coffee to grab and go. They make some nice cold drinks aswell.

A great place for a quick snack when you want to have something "on the go. Fresh sandwiches, good coffee and very friendly people. There are a couple of dessert options - from chocolate croissants through cheesecake and up to local Austrian offerings. This Anker branch opens quite early so you will be able to grab something before work!

Good deal for a hot drink and dessert. Sufficient space to sit. Special opening hours around Christmas and New Year. Perfect place to take a rest.

QUICK BITE Paired with the neon lights and underground vibe, this is a great place to get your morning snack.

I used to wait for my friends here quite often, when it's cold. The produce is not always fresh and the interior needs an overhaul.
