The best bars and cafés Vienna

The newcomer is picked up at the entrance when a table becomes available. During a meal or a coffee, one has the impression of being a Viennese aristocrat from the beginning of the 20th century, when one sits on the red benches and under the richly decorated ceiling. It is the hotel café founded by Franz Sacher, who created his famous chocolate and apricot jam cake, the Sachertorte, in 1832 for Prince Metternich. Of course, this is where you can enjoy the best. It's expensive, but it's an unmissable stopover!

The old Motto has undergone a complete facelift. Here, international VIPs, Viennese youth and well-informed tourists mingle. This lounge bar and trendy fusion restaurant combines a bar, a room with a chic industrial design, and the Jungle, a garden area in fine weather. Attractive cocktail menu. You're right in the middle of the lively Vienne with a certain standing. To complete the exceptional ambience, a DJ behind the bar often delivers a groovy electro-beat sound without overdoing the decibels.

The house has been in existence since 1873. Its location makes the Landtmann a café of exception rather than tradition. Attended by ministers who hold press conferences, writers and businessmen. With its large, pleasant terrace, it was once one of the most prominent literary salons. If you want breakfast, you'll have to come early to avoid being deprived of croissants, as theintelligentsia rises at dawn. The fresh, simple yet finely prepared dishes are a perfect match for the refined decor.

This is one of Vienna's great cafés run by the Querfeld family, behind the opera house, opposite the tourist office and in the same building as the legendary Hotel Sacher. This opulent, high-ceilinged tearoom, with its large, pleasant terrace, offers stylish service and reasonable prices. Here, you can enjoy a meal, an arranged coffee, a tea to choose from a long list, a sachertorte, a strudel with whipped cream, a white wine with soda and elderberry syrup, all very local. Ideal for a restorative break after visiting the museums.

In 1880, the Sperl family bought the Café Ronacher. The Café Ronacher is a café for artists par excellence, and its regulars have included architects, painters, musicians (Franz Lehár), actors and... soldiers. A wide selection of newspapers, home-made pastries, including the Sperltorte speciality, traditional dishes(Tafelspitz) and sandwiches, and a service worthy of a real Viennese café. Coffee is available in all its forms. The café is a protected monument and has a charming, finely carved stucco ceiling and retro furniture.

One of the most popular Viennese delicacies, which is available in Vienna at several addresses. Diglas pastries are among the best in the city and are one of the main assets of this traditional brand, even if it is a little more recent than its sisters in the city. Nevertheless, the quality of the service, very friendly, and the good-natured atmosphere make it one of our favourites. The Mehlspeisen's rates are in line with the reputation of the place. Good traditional cuisine. Young clientele and cosy decoration.

More than 20 subsidiaries spread across the city, for the delight of pastry lovers. The Aida coffee is in fact predatory prices all competition and pies are worth twice as expensive as elsewhere. It's also insurance that you can find from one subsidiary to another, including the Mädel (girls), always dressed in their small pink uniform and white apron. That's why the place has become the meeting place for all mammoths.

One of Vienna's famous Kaffehäuser , just opposite Schwarzenberg Square. Opened in the 19th century, it was the first café on the Ring. Relatively discreet, it is a pleasant tea room with a terrace, a high ceiling room with chandeliers, huge bay windows, bistro tables and benches in the style of the beginning of the last century. Soups and salads, French fries and homemade pastries are served at all times. We love the carrot velouté! The Mehlspeisen are delicious and the tea menu is phenomenal. Cultural programming.

This establishment owes a lot to its patron founder, Leopold Hawelka, who now leaves, given his age, an officer his very effective team. On the other hand, if a very old man greets you at the entrance, be sure that it is him. His wife is on the grill and the cakes have this flavor that only the house "Mehlspeise" can have, the famous Touche touch in addition. A Viennese myth that can still be touched and tasted in a pleasant wooden decor, enhanced by engravings and sketches of artists who have passed through here.

A café known for its homemade cupcakes. The atmosphere is relaxed and many come to read. To accompany your sweet snack, banana bread or cheesecake, you have a choice of coffees and hot or iced chocolates. There's also a choice of breakfasts in seven versions, including two French ones, café-croissant or croque-monsieur, or the hearty one with avocado, grilled bacon and feta cheese. And all day long, in addition to pastries, you can order savory snacks. A perfect place to take refuge on a grey day.

"L'Orgue du vin" marks the edge of a district dominated by establishments sought after by wine lovers. The public is connoisseur and wiser than in the "Triangle". In this wine cellar, one takes the time to taste the wine. This Lokal where one stands owes its name to the barrel organ, a few centuries old, installed above the counter. The vaulted room is very convivial, as is the very mixed audience. The low prices are an additional pretext to discover Austrian wines. Long wine and peanut menu at will!

This is THE traditional Viennese café where the waiters even wear the binocle! A little ignored by tourists, the Bräunerhof is famous for the Bräunerhoftrios concerts that take place there on Saturday, Sunday afternoons and public holidays (starting around 3pm). However, these concerts do not take place in the summer, which reinforces the fact that it is not a tourist attraction. The atmosphere is intimate, the yellow walls slightly faded, the mosaic decoration and the waiters in three-piece suits have something profoundly Viennese and a reassuring immutability.

It is one of the oldest Heuriger among the authentic areas of Vienna. Bacchus has been famous since the Middle Ages. Alain Delon, Helmut Kohl and the Dalai Lama have passed on to the sound of the same music. The house is known for the quality of its cuisine.

With a view of Schönbrunn Palace, the café opened in 1995 in a renovated building welcomes you in the pure tradition of the Viennese Kaffeehaus. It's a place where Emperor Franz I had his lunch. The choice of Mehlspeise is wide, from the Apfelstrudel to the Kugelhupf to the cardinal's pie. In summer, the terraces are full. Among the successes of the house is the breakfast buffet "Sissi" with champagne glass and smoked salmon canapé, traditional bread rolls, butter and jam, in an imperial style porcelain service.

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!

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!
