Located in the heart of Vienna, this café has a definite advantage over the other coffeehouses in the winter: despite the cold, you can still sit “outside” on the heated glass veranda, which looks out to the Burgtheater and the neo-classical Rathaus (town hall), seat of the city’s government. The café specializes in seasonal and Austrian deserts, and the excellent brews will remind you why Vienna is so well known for its coffee. The waiting staff has retained many typical aspects of Vienna’s coffee culture, so beware the Wiener Schmäh, it just might put a big smile on your face.
One word - classy! In the best of its meaning. On a recent visit, several politicians and journalists were spotted chatting away and sipping their melange in the glass atrium. On another visit, I noticed Mayor Haupl himself quietly giving an interview to a local newspaper reporter. It has to be said that the Viennese beau-monde just loves this café. But hey, it's a truly Viennese experience for many visitors as well. The daily lunch menu is a good deal for just 10.99 euros. Although some would agree that almost 5 euros for a small pot of black tea seems to be a little steep. :-)
