The best bars and cafés Austria

We love Café Anny's large terrace. It's ideally located right in the center of town, a stone's throw from the bus stop to the slopes. Solid wood furnishings, well maintained. Very good coffee. The adjacent pizzeria offers very good pizzas, not too salty. Pasta dishes too, as well as salads, toasts and antipasti. In short, you can go there for lunch or dinner with friends or family without a care in the world, and there's something for everyone. Good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

In the heart of Innsbruck, the Treibhaus shines like a cultural jewel, with a packed calendar of events of all kinds. Jazz evenings, poetry nights and art exhibitions. It's the perfect stopover for those looking to color their Tyrolean escapade with artistic nuances. And for your taste buds? The Treibhaus enchants with its inventive vegan cuisine, concocting inexpensive gourmet pizzas for under 11 euros, made from eco-responsible ingredients. An address not to be missed, to enjoy and be inspired.

A modern, trendy bar serving fine wine and delicious cocktails. Wine Lounge also offers a refined menu for lunch and dinner, with dishes typical of the region as well as fusion food and international recipes. Well-presented, tasty plates. Summer terrace to soak up the sunshine. It may be advisable to reserve a table. Occasional events. Impressive wine list. We recommend it for the ambiance, the class and the flavors of the wines and dishes.

Charming café located in the main square, not far from all the tourist attractions. It also offers a lunch menu. Most products are homemade. Several types of tart. Their specialties: praline and chocolates. You'll find pretty, well-stuffed boxes to offer to your loved ones, or to savor one by one in front of a good film on Arte... A welcoming café where you'll want to stay a while. A word to the wise: children are sure to be delighted by your choice of activity!

One of the strongholds of the Third-Wave coffee culture, i.e. modern and trendy, far from the traditional culture of the hushed Viennese coffee. According to the principle of the genre, this address combines a roastery, a store dedicated to coffee and its tasting, and a café in the sense of a space to drink coffee. You can sit in a room with vintage-inspired furniture to taste original coffees and great vintages served according to the rules of the art.

One of Vienna's modern cafés, as opposed to the traditional Viennese version, Caffè Couture has been a great success, offering a wide range of coffee-related services in the city center. Located in a historic passageway, Caffè Couture is first and foremost a coffee roaster with the highest standards, both in the selection of its plantations and in the processing of its beans. You'll find everything you need for coffee, from percolators to cups. It's also the place to enjoy a fine vintage coffee with a viennoiserie.

It is reached by a pretty passage. This establishment is located in a paved courtyard of the XVIIIth century, all in length, lined with old-fashioned stores with their frontages uniformly painted in green bottle. One will appreciate the contrast of atmosphere between the peaceful terrace, where one comes to have a drink in summer, and the soberly "destroyed" room, where a hot drink will warm you up in winter. Nice menu of coffees, beers and pastries. You can also enjoy a homemade soup. Calm and relaxed atmosphere. Regular jam sessions.

It's the 23rd arrondissement's 360° café. Located on the 8th floor of the emblematic Danube Tower, built in 1964, the Turm Café rotates on itself at 170 m from the ground. Sit back and watch the whole capital go by while you sip your coffee and enjoy a pastry. And it's a real spectacle that unfolds before your eyes that you can't get enough of. This floor also houses a restaurant where you can eat every day at noon or in the evening. At night, with the lights of the city, the show is even more magical!

This is Ikea's greenest store. Inaugurated in autumn 2021 at Gare de l'Ouest, the elegantly planted, glazed cubes are open to the public on the roof terrace. Here, you can picnic in a warm, panoramic space, or enjoy a coffee and a sandwich at the rooftop kiosk. On the floor below, there's a restaurant and even the new Jo&Joe hotel. And, of course, you can shop at Ikea. And deer!

The house has been in existence since 1974. A true Kaffeehaus, the Dommayer is as remarkable for the quality of its service with an impeccable ballet of costumes and redingotes, as it is for its magnificent and delicious pastries. Very popular with the bourgeoisie, it also has an astonishing intergenerational mix, even if the majority of regulars are older people. The furniture and interior decoration are in harmony with the rest, and the whole thing breathes a bygone past, but one that everyone here seems nostalgic for. Pleasant terrace.

In a quiet alleyway between the Donaukanal and Stephansplatz, this cosy, classy lounge bar offers an impressive A to Z cocktail menu, from Aviation Cocktail to Zombi Cocktail to Long Island Ice Tea, all at reasonable prices. The atmosphere is calm and the clientele is made up of regulars. It's an ideal place to spend a quiet evening re-envisioning the world. There's a tiny terrace in summer, where seating is packed, but to compensate, cocktails can be taken away until 1am.

One of those small Viennese cafés typical of the outlying districts, more intimate and less touristy than those in the city centre, known here as Vorstadt-Cafés. The Goldegg Café has been in existence since 1910 and is distinguished by its magnificent Art Nouveau bistro style. In addition to the refined wood panelling and the green lounge area, the billiard tables are also an attraction. The billiard tables are also attractive, although the games are played in a restrained manner. The chef's focus is on traditional, fresh and affordable bistro cuisine.

A cultural institution and a cosy bar in the 7th district. A large hall and a smaller one attracting a mixed population, mostly students. A relaxed atmosphere, slightly intellectual and bobo, with a very good choice of small dishes and drinks. Lounge atmosphere. In the basement, a club with good concerts or DJs. Suitable for coffee, dinner, having a good time, partying... The Wirr also has an address at the Brunnenmarkt, the only café with a market stall on Yppenplatz, with a very pleasant terrace.

This cultural café occupies a pleasant place, in front of the Saint Joseph church. It is a cosmopolitan and offbeat place. On the program: reading evenings and vernissages that engage and present heterogeneous artists, even folkloric ones. You will discover Romanian painting or Irish folk music. A deliciously bohemian address that offers a witty menu. Large choice of beers, wines by the glass, coffees, teas, lemonades. And for the small hollows, soups, salads, spaghettis, pierogis, garnished toasts...

A café-restaurant on Ringstrasse opposite the MAK, Museum of Applied Arts, whose interior was redecorated by Oswald Haerdtl in the 1950s, but which has been in existence since 1904. This establishment is a real hit, and not just with coffee-lovers, and although it's spacious, it's hard to find a seat on one of its plush banquettes, especially on Sunday afternoons. A pianist plays in the evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. If you can't find a seat, head across the street to the cosy Salonplafond im MAK.

The bakery has been in existence since 1860 and has numerous locations in Vienna. It was the first building to be constructed in the centre of the new Helmut Zilk Park, the green lung of the innovative Viennese districts that are springing up behind the Haupbahnhof. People come here for a coffee, a pastry or a sandwich at any time. At weekends, the park is one of the most popular green spaces for Viennese people, especially for families, who can enjoy a playground and a fitness trail made of wood.

An excellent opportunity to enjoy an exceptional environment for a break between two exhibition rooms. On the second floor of the museum, with your entrance ticket, you can make a charming stopover under the baroque rotunda of this historic and sumptuous building on a comfortable bench, for a coffee, a pastry, a snack, or even a real meal in privilege. Courteous service, services and prices identical to those charged "outside".

This refined restaurant, a fusion of China and Japan, enriches the landscape of the Naschmarkt, both culinary and visual, day and night. It is one of the latest trendy addresses, located on a street bordering the market. You will settle in a vast, high-ceilinged room with a chic design decoration and a pleasant atmosphere. You come here to have a drink or a quick coffee, breakfast or a snack at any time of the day. The restaurant is rather expensive, but since it is also a bar, a simple coffee can be enjoyed.

It's a bit of a bohemian café. It's not really to drink coffee that you go to Vienna's^1st district. The Art Deco-style Café Engländer sees a permanent parade of artists, creatives and advertisers rather than tourists. It's an authentic place to discover and a trendy address where you can appreciate the traditional Viennese café decor and elegant service. Here, you can enjoy a coffee topped with cream and a pastry, as well as a good breakfast in the morning while reading the press. Another address in Praterstern.

The bar is housed in Salzburg's oldest hotel, built in 1399 on the banks of the Salzach River in the center of the city. Purchased in 2001 by businessman Haythem Al Wazzan, it was completely renovated and modernized by architects Michael Strobl and Christian Prasser in 2016, before opening as a superb 4-star hotel in 2017, which has since come under the management of the Amadeus hotel group. The hotel's rooftop bar offers panoramic views and stylish decor. Champagne! The first floor is also home to an organic gourmet restaurant.

A real English pub, in the city centre. Atmosphere guaranteed, especially in winter. Those who like a quiet, intimate atmosphere with classical music will prefer not to go there, because here it's the opposite: noise, loud music and drinks flowing freely. Live music concerts from time to time. Note that this pub has existed since 1976, opened by the famous Rik Gunnell (one of the managers of the famous Flamingo Club in London, which hosted Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday...).

With its '80s and '90s ambience, it's party time every day. One of the resort's trendiest bars, where you can drink cocktails and listen to music all night long. Wooden decor and colorful neon lights. Live and lounge music. If you don't like the sight of dancers in states of undress on a bar, this is the place for you. Video clips and images are sometimes projected onto a large screen. A place to go if you like noise and loud music. Light après-ski clubbing atmosphere.
