The best bars and cafés Austria

This well-appointed café, whose origins date back to 1900, is a great place to spend evenings in a richly decorated interior or, in summer, on the small terrace. The Weimar retains the best of the Viennese café tradition, including outstanding service. Tradition is complemented by a well-structured menu offering a wide variety of Austrian and international cuisine to suit all tastes. Typical and definitely enjoyable. A piano plays operetta, swing and jazz classics on weekends from 4pm to 8pm.

In the city centre, very convenient.

A post-modern café, as it is both feng shui and cyber café!

The most pleasant bar in the area with magnificent views of the lake to enjoy a small wine from the region.

A modern and welcoming cafe-konditorei, frequented by Leibnitziens of all ages.

Specialties to the apple, in a family atmosphere.

A quiet and trendy café, located on one of the most popular squares of the students and residents of Graz.

It is accessed by a lift that goes directly into the bar. Classy! This is a trendy address and a very modern establishment, spread over two floors, which is characterized by a mainly young clientele. From the bar on the mezzanine floor, you can enjoy a superb view of Graz's main square. And from the roof terrace, which overlooks the entire city, you can see as far as the Schlossberg hill and the dome of the town hall. The atmosphere is dominated by sixties and seventies rock music.

Café located right in the middle of the Wall on the famous Insel island, designed by the great architect Vito Performances. The snail structure is a great success. We had to dare! A visit absolutely.

A friendly atmosphere in a traditional setting. Delicious pastries: schlossbergkugeln, schilcherlandtrüffel or true schilcher of Styria. An excellent address.

A charming, historic establishment. Built in the 1880s in Haussmann style, the building was once a bazaar. The café opened its doors in 1909, and has welcomed celebrities such as Marlene Dietrich, Romy Schneider and Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The room is spacious and high-ceilinged, typical of the elegant Austrian Kaffeehouse . On sunny days, you can enjoy the terrace overlooking the Left Bank and the fortress. Here, you can spend pleasant hours reading the press and daydreaming as you watch the passers-by...

A jewel for the gourmets and the nostalgic of the empire. This magnificent tea room is the most famous and the most sumptuous of the spa. As you may have guessed, this is where Emperor Franz Joseph used to sit to enjoy delicious pastries and a good cup of tea. The choice of small and large cakes and other delicacies is phenomenal and you will simply be amazed by the window display. A must in Bad Ischl on the elegant Pfarrgasse. A stopover to make at least once during your stay!

In an open alley between two walls of walls, and which leaves Maria Theresien Strasse at the level of 16. Still a loved one of the students. Very modern music and studios, with contemporary tables and chairs, spots, exciting music; The atmosphere is full of 2 h.

An amazing establishment and uncategorized, so there are things! This place lives from 11 am to 4 am and offers various activities. For example, you can start with a coffee and a few oriental pastries before you take advantage of the hammam and the tea room, continue in the restaurant (French and Moroccan influence), and drink a drink at the club where Djs just like jazz groups. On a total surface of 2 000 m ², you can't feel at home in this old brick factory with a warm decoration. Visit absolutely during his stay!

It's a typical Viennese café with a patina of the 1960s, with its regulars and its divine apfelstrudel. Susanne Widl, the eccentric owner of the place, is hardly ever seen here anymore. But even from a distance, this former model and underground artist keeps an eye on things. Nestled on a small square behind St. Peter's Church, Café Korb combines tradition and avant-gardism. The waiters are in traditional clothes but the cards are fluorescent and the terrace is colorful. Go there rather in the morning to find a place. In the basement, concerts and animations are programmed.

Panoramic bar serving excellent cocktails in a hushed atmosphere. From classic cocktails from around the world to original, contemporary creations, this is a great address for cocktail lovers of all kinds! Ideal for a chic, intimate and relaxed end to the evening. In summer, the large terrace offers an incredible view, allowing you to watch the sun set over the city's rooftops from the comfort of your own chair, while enjoying a lovely moment with friends or lovers. A lighter wallet and a lighter mind!

Opposite the Burggarten, Burgring 1 is a bistro that lends itself well to a chat with friends or a drunken evening, but also to a stopover for a coffee and a pastry and a few moments' rest before setting off again to explore the city center and its riches. The industrial decor, the sometimes rough walls and the light bulbs placed at different heights create a slightly trendy, fairy-tale atmosphere. The mismatched tables and chairs add a really nice touch to the place. We love it! The terrace adds to the charm of the address.

BarRock. A bar, rock and other music. Accordion, violin, guitar, vocals... In a vintage house with a bistro décor and a courtyard like a guinguette, you will enjoy a friendly and festive atmosphere, but not too much. It's much more tender than punk. Here is a nice and atypical bar to listen to livemusic while sipping a beer, nibbling a pizza or a hot dog, enjoying a Red Bull-vodka, a Bacardi-Cola, a Whiskey-Cola without forgetting the local sparkle.

Cigars are no longer smoked indoors as they used to be, as legislation now forbids smoking in bars. But the house still offers a fine selection of cigars. Cocktail lovers are in for a treat at the Kruger, one of the world's top 100 bars, with talented and renowned baristas of great dexterity. A long list of cocktails for aperitifs, after-dinner drinks, evening drinks... English club setting with wood panelling and club chairs. Great jazzy music. Golden youth and VIPs mingle. Reserve your table and dress appropriately.

Here's a "Kaffeehaus" emblematic of Austrian tradition in Innsbruck! Traditional and elegant, Café Katzung nonetheless boasts a modern decorative style that incorporates beautiful neo-Baroque nods. Enjoy delicious slices of cake, pies and Kaiserschmarren, homemade ice cream and premium chocolate... And breakfast is served from 8 a.m. to closing time! A central address that's perfect for a sweet break at any time of day. We wish you all the best!

The 360°, part bistro, part wine bar, part lounge, offers an elegant perspective on Innsbruck's surroundings thanks to its panoramic glazing. Perched on the ^15th floor above the town hall's shopping arcade, in its literally 360° glass tower, it's a sumptuous setting in which to sip a coffee, have a drink or spend the evening overlooking the surrounding mountains. In the list of panoramic establishments in Innsbruck, this is a special one!

Located in the heart of the Hofburg complex, the café of the same name, run by the Querfeld family, offers homemade pastries, coffee, hot chocolate, fruit juice and snacks in a relaxed yet cosy atmosphere. This is a relaxing stopover after exploring the former imperial residence. Settle down on the terrace. It's the ideal spot to watch the horse-drawn carriages go by while dreaming of centuries of yesteryear... The service is impeccable in every respect and this café is an excellent address.

Located in the heart of a pleasant courtyard, this wine bar is a friendly place. International wines to be enjoyed by taking advantage of the framework.

The Drechsler, a hundred-year-old bar that used to be known as the only one in Vienna where you could eat 23 hours a day, has become gentrified with reduced hours during the day. Nevertheless, this address with its cosy design, refined and trendy at the same time, still has the same success. The drinks menu shows originality with organic proposals and friendly home-made blends. We are particularly fond of fresh carrot-ginger fruit juice, local peach wine and excellent non-alcoholic cocktails. Varied breakfasts. Perfect break in front of the Naschmarkt.

It is the bar of the cinema of the same name. The principle is nice and is always very successful with moviegoers. It is about giving the possibility to the spectators to have a drink or/and to eat a piece before or after a cinema session. Of course, you can go there just to have a drink and take a break in the 6th district. The clientele is rather young and nerdy because Top Kino doesn't program blockbusters but rather auteur films. Underground and quiet atmosphere. Very good welcome.

Two atmospheres, two seasons. In summer, the terrace under the tall trees looks like a guinguette and attracts a large clientele. In winter, one appreciates the bourgeois comfort inside a Jugendstil building. Time seems to stand still: the vintage decoration, the Viennese service, the feeling that you can take as long a break as you like, everything contributes to making you feel really comfortable. A regular clientele, we come here to drink beers with friends in a good-natured atmosphere. Nice welcome!

Einhorn? Unicorn. Funny name for a bar, coffee shop, cafe-jazz, cafe-rock... The tone is set with a certain humor and a warm ambience, a little offbeat. It has a heterogeneous clientele. 1970s decor, a bit rock and psychedelic.

Since a dragonfly landed on the roof of Vienna's Leopold Museum, the Museumsquartier rooftop has been open to the public. Designed by Ortner & Ortner, with the help of artist Eva Schlegel for the building's glass façade, and fellow artist Brigitte Kowanz for the light rings, this is one of Vienna's most spectacular rooftops. We love its design, aerial, panoramic (and privatizable) space! The Zur Libelle kiosk offers fresh, healthy drinks and snacks. Stay tuned for its program! Access free of charge.

On the ^18th and top floor of the Sofitel, an old-fashioned Viennese bar in a modern space with a panoramic view of Vienna. Das Loft's decor is futuristic: the bar's ceiling is a multicolored fresco, and the building's architecture contrasts with imperial Vienna. An ideal spot to enjoy a cocktail with friends or lovers at dusk. It's also a gourmet restaurant. But restaurant or bar, it's best to reserve your table. Royal brunch on Sundays and sumptuous breakfasts every day. Another bar on the first floor.

The Viennese address of this brand present in several trendy capitals. We love this hotel-restaurant-rooftop by the 25hours label, close to the MQ (MuseumsQuartier). The trendy, cosy bar is located on the hotel's top floor, with a terrace overlooking Vienna's west side. The atmosphere is relaxed and the electro music cool, perfect for getting the evening off to a good start. The hotel, with its circus-themed rooms and suites, and the restaurant, 1500 Foodmakers, are also great value for money. A complete and stylish home.

This great house of linztorte secrets has a dozen addresses in Linz. This one is our favorite. On the heights of the city, it offers a panoramic and very pleasant stopover in a charming site accessible by the historic streetcar. Very reasonable rates and friendly service. Tip: the Jindrak in the city center organizes pastry classes to learn how to make linztorte. You can also stock up on linztorte in its red gingham packaging... Underneath the tearoom, a photographic exhibition gallery.

Hello Cuba! Here is a great classic of the "Bermuda Triangle": a rum and cocktail bar, whose warm and cosy atmosphere, with a background of Latin or Caribbean music, is very much appreciated. It's very small and a decor of Amazonian jungle completes the change of scenery. The Ron Con Soda would be a replica of a Cuban bar on the outskirts of Havana. It's a pity that the trip is reserved for a small number of chosen people, because the size of the room doesn't allow for as many people as in the neighbouring bars. But this one has its followers!

A cocktail bar designed by Adolf Loos, an emblematic figure of the Viennese artistic revival. The bar has retained its original decoration, making it a living museum. A set of mirrors gives the place a certain dimension. Only 27^m2 for this tiny bar whose size is inversely proportional to its success. A hushed atmosphere despite the roughness of the materials used (glass, metal). Come early if you want to sit down, the Loos is quickly full. Impeccable service, excellent coffee and a large choice of cocktails concocted by top bartenders.

The Jugendstil friezes that adorn the walls of the "Black Camel" are worth the trip alone. The establishment, which dates back to the year 1618, is designed as a wine bar. There is an excellent selection of bottles to taste on the premises or to take away. The atmosphere is a bit Latin, with a bar full of delicatessen, sandwiches, tramezzini or simple sandwiches, including a variant with the best ham in Vienna. Admittedly it's rather expensive, but the place is lively and widely appreciated by the local clientele. Also a restaurant.

The Schikaneder is an alternative hangout for Viennese youth and offers an underground setting: large, comfortable peeled armchairs sit alongside odd wooden chairs, while on one of the walls you can enjoy silent projections. Funk and electro music are in the spotlight here and the DJs are inspired. This offbeat place is next to a cinema, the Kino, whose programming consists mainly of documentaries and auteur films. The Schikaneder hosts interventions by artists. Long drinks menu and reasonable prices.

This wine bar is located in the vineyards north of Krems. It's just as much a place for elbowing as for tilting the bowl, but with distinction all the same. This heuriger has the good taste to offer a few good organic bottles, as well as a very pleasant picnic formula in the vineyards. There's also a gastronomic table with a perfect match between food and wine (of course!), the chance to visit the cellars and even to sleep in luxurious rooms. A number of privileged guests reserve the premises for their weddings.

A great atmosphere! Krah-Krah used to be one of the "Triangle's" emblematic night spots. Today, it's mellowed and gentrified, and no longer organizes concerts. Nevertheless, it remains one of the oldest establishments in the area. The interior decor, with its tablecloth-covered tables, is more reminiscent of an inn-style restaurant than a café. In fact, it's both. You can feast both ways and get the evening off to a good start. Fine wine list, draught beers and cocktails, traditional dishes. Cheerful atmosphere.

In the affluent Josefstadt district, this establishment offers a wide range of facilities: spacious and bright rooms, white tablecloths in the restaurant area, a relaxed terrace and a limited menu, which is different from the usual café cuisine. However, this is a traditional café in the Viennese sense of the word, and the Florianihof is especially worth a visit for its Jugendstil decoration. The Florianihof is not very popular with tourists and is a little out of the way from the centre, but it is a peaceful haven where you can quietly read the newspaper. Cinnamon and caramel flavoured coffees..

A traditional Viennese café with its many newspapers, serious waiters in their classic costumes, retro decoration... This establishment is located on a lovely little quiet square, where the trams pass by. Breakfasts are served here until 2pm, from the minimalist version to a real brunch for two people, including a vegetarian Greek breakfast. Long menu of soft drinks and cocktails. The varied, tempting and affordable dishes of the day are served from 11am to 3pm.

The Eiles café, once frequented by Thomas Bernhard, is a classic among the Kaffeehäusers of Vienna. Here, the vintage décor is enriched by old coffee machines or cash registers that accentuate the ancient aspect of this noble institution. The Mohr im Hemd (the "little nigger in a shirt" or chocolate mellow) and its melted chocolate sauce are divine. It's an unforgettable experience, time has stood still in this setting from another world. Drinking coffee in old-fashioned cups, you can stay there for hours...

It's the anti-deco Viennese bistro at the imperial. Here the decoration is classy but design. The Stein café, opened in 1985, immediately seduced the students with its trendy atmosphere. Its slogan? A good day starts with a good breakfast at the Stein café... Today, students meet tourists and trendy young people with a golden touch of Vienna. All day long, you can enjoy coffee and pastries there. On summer evenings, the sleek, chromium-plated terrace is taken by storm. The Stein is also a restaurant.

One of the emblematic HQs of the Viennese New Wave and a must in the genre. Since the 1980s, it has been a mythical meeting point near Mariahilferstrasse. The Café Europa offers a fine selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and excellent breakfasts served until 3pm. All in all a trendy bar with a rather wise clientele in harmony with its sober and design decoration. If the drinks menu is without surprise, the menu of the breakfasts and the dishes is on the other hand more inventive. Here, the great classic is Beef Tatar.

A very large Internet cafe from the Bignet Internet access provider.

A trendy and spacious address on two floors with large openings on the street and comfortable designer furniture. You can eat breakfast or menus on composite trays, bento or canteen style. Freiraum is a multiple and original spot, at the same time a traditional café with coffee and pastry, a bar to have an aperitif, a lounge café where you can relax, a restaurant where you can eat quickly or not, a cocktail bar. The clientele is varied in its styles and expectations. For an alcoholic evening, an intimate dinner, etc...

No, it's not the French park dedicated to volcanism! We're a long way from Saint-Ours-les-Roches and the Puy-de-Dôme. Vienna's Vulcania is one of the darlings of the "Bermuda Triangle", particularly popular with students. This Lokal stands out for being quite comfortable and spacious, for a change. It's a friendly pub where you can watch the big soccer matches and choose from a wide range of beers and wines, as the sign at the entrance indicates. Vulcania is undoubtedly one of the most pleasant and lively bars in the area.

Despite its name, this café does not play the Italian card. However, the atmosphere is warm, the genre is disparate and the place is often full. Nice atmosphere. The logo: the Fibonacci sequence... because here, as in mathematics, each element seems to be the logical sum of the other elements that make up the place. A decoration made of mirrors, blue duck, old posters of Callas or Petrucciani. A few sofas in which it is good to enjoy a coffee or a draft beer. Quite dark but pleasant all the same.

As the name suggests, the specialty here is strudel! You can enjoy it in any shape or form, at any time of day. There are around twenty variations on the menu, so there's something for everyone. Homemade jam, fresh eggs from the local farm, honey from a local beehive and an impressive choice of croissants and breads. A substantial breakfast to get the day off to a good start, with muesli, nuts and a great cappuccino. In short, we recommend this place for good eating. Online strudel store.

In the heart of the city center, Das Schindler is renowned for its exquisite cocktails from dusk till dawn. But that's just a taste of what's in store. The diverse menu promises a culinary journey between local tradition and international flavors, all prepared with regional and seasonal produce, whether for a hearty breakfast, a lively Saturday brunch, lunch or dinner with dishes such as Wiener Schnitzel or beef tartare. And you'll enjoy an unforgettable panoramic view of Maria-Theresien-Strasse.

The place to be for après-ski! At an altitude of 2,000 m, at the crossroads of the slopes, people come here for lunch or to party to music. DJ sets are organised every day from 1.30 pm to entertain the skiers. Whether in a cosy room or on the terrace, the house is always busy during the winter season. The jet-set appreciates this address and parties are held there in the evening. During the day, it's a wiser, family and sporty place. The small budgets will be able to avoid the Paznauner Taja which forces a little on the prices! But at 2 000 m of altitude, we understand.
