The most famous Viennese coffee house - Central

Paraphrasing the proud aphorism of Coco Chanel, we can confidently say: “There are many cafes and confectioneries, the Central coffee house is one.” The most famous and unusual cafe in Vienna is famous for the fact that since its opening back in 1876 it has become a favorite meeting place for artists and writers, artists and politicians. At different times, Sigmund Freud, Adolf Hitler, Peter Altenberg, Stefan Zweig, Alfred Polgar, Leon Trotsky and other historical figures drank coffee here.

This is a paradise for lovers of delicious food: numerous cafes and restaurants is an integral part of the city. We honestly tried everything and offer you must-sees - the best establishments Vienna!

1. Cafe Sacher

This is where you can try original cake Sacher is one of the most famous desserts in the world. The cake was first made by Franz Sacher in 1832, a 16-year-old apprentice of the chief confectioner. The confectioner fell ill and Franz had to make his own dessert for the Austrian Foreign Minister. Chocolate lovers will appreciate this dessert.

The cafe is very easy to find: it is located just behind the Vienna Opera, in the Sacher Hotel. It is better to come early in the morning when there are not so many tourists yet.

Tip: As a souvenir, buy an original Sacher cake at the airport before your flight, packed in a beautiful wooden box. Believe me, family will be more than happy with such a gift than a magnet.

2. Restaurant "Plachutta"

This is one of the best restaurants in Vienna, so it's worth booking a table in advance. The restaurant specializes in beef, sourced exclusively from Viennese farmers.
Here, it is best to try a certain dish: Tafelspitz(Tafelschpitz) - the tender top of a beef rump, boiled with soup greens. Served with broth, applesauce with horseradish, bread and a side dish of your choice. It is better to order for two, it is impossible to eat alone. Believe me, it's very tasty!

3. Restaurant-bar "Das Loft"

This is a bar restaurant With panoramic view. Located on the 18th floor of the luxurious Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom. From the windows of the restaurant and lounge bar "Das LOFT" offers a breathtaking view of the city. Here you can eat deliciously, but also admire the amazing panorama of Vienna.

Walking along the Unter Dunaistrasse in the evening, the restaurant is hard to miss: its ceiling is decorated with colorful luminous frescoes that create the effect of a moving space. The restaurant is quite expensive and offers gourmet cuisine. I advise you to book a table at the bar and enjoy the view of the evening city while drinking a cocktail.

4. Cafe Havelka

Any guide book will recommend this cafe to you, and for good reason. It was opened in 1939 by Leopold Havelka and his wife Josefina. Until 2011, the founder personally met his regular customers. Leopold died at the age of 100, now his son Günther runs the coffee shop.

In the 1950s, the coffee house was a meeting place for Viennese bohemians. The coffee shop is small, dark, but very cozy. Here you should definitely try coffee "melange" and branded Einspenner with the addition of powdered sugar (black coffee with whipped cream, "Viennese coffee").

In this article, I have collected my recommendations for restaurants in Vienna, dividing all establishments for your convenience into classic, trendy, places with a relaxed atmosphere and those located in the vicinity of the city's most popular market, the Naschmarkt.
