    I usually don't eat breakfast, and it also doesn't help that I think almost all breakfast cafes are overpriced. Not the case with Budapest Bistro. It's a charming, cozy cafe near downtown Vienna with friendly service, low prices, and an abundance of food with each order. We were fortunate that this was one of the few cafes open during the holiday season. My family loved the scrambled eggs with paprika. The horseradish with the frankfurters was my dad's favorite. The small basket of bread was hearty and filling. Everything added up to less than €7, which is amazing. There was about a half/half mix of both locals and tourists in the cafe, and the overall ambiance was calm and relaxed.

    We had a wonderful healthy breakfast in this cute bistro and service was friendly. They serve delicious Viennese melange kaffee. I had two cups! Their Donau breakfast had sliced ham tucked into both sunny side up eggs with tiny salad lightly drenched in chocolate. I enjoyed the Paleolitt breakfast with scrambled eggs, salad and fresh fruit. Their breads were tasty served with orange marmalade and fresh butter.

    We loved this cosy place so much! The staff was incredibly friendly, observing them interact with customers was a great pleasure. If you come with a dog, your pet gets a treat and a rug to lay down on (and not the asphalt if you are sitting outside). I had the Vegan breakfast and my husband had a Donau (Danube) Breakfast. I hope I remembered the name correct. The food was delicious!!!

    The Budapest Bistro is a nice, small, and elegant Café with charm of the old times of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire. The Café closes early (18:00 / 6 pm) but offers its breakfast for a good price and serves it all day long until it closes in the evening. The coffee is excellent and the pastries as well and you enjoy it surrounded by a vintage atmosphere. The owner is a nice Hungarian who likes to talk with his guests when they are not busy using the Cafe's free WiFi. The staff is friendly. The Café is owned and run by a Hungarian who is very nice and interested in that you have a great stay at his place. With Love! Dr. Dr. Immanuel Fruhmann

    Very nice interior furnishing. The tables are from old sewing machines. The bakery items are great! The owner might be from Hungary and puts a lot of effort into decorating the food!

    Such a nice cafe so close to home. The interior is really so nice.

    In love. This little place, snuggled into the 5th district, is a cozy spot in which you're greeted by friendly staff (perhaps even the owner, which is more than likely) when you walk in. You can order brunch when it opens at 08:00 until usually about 16:00 (depends on the day, sometimes they close at 18:00). Or you can even grab a melange or cafe latte or any beverage of choice and sit by the street and watch the people passing by with their bread or flower purchases from nearby shops. It's also a great spot to get stuff done (I'm a photographer and this is an ideal spot to sit and edit my clients photos, they have outlets!) Definitely one of the gems of the 5th distract that warrants a visit.

    Awful. This place has really gone downhill. My most recent order was barely enough food to fill a bird and I paid $26. Will not be back.

    This review is specifically for the Kaiserschmarrn, which was unbelievable!…read more When you arrive at Demel, there are two areas - one is a window for quick takeout and the other is to be seated. We waited in the takeout line for about 15 minutes and ate the best Kaiserschmarrn ever! Something I didn't even know existed until visiting Vienna. Highly recommend checking out this spot!

    I visited Demel Vienna on August 19 during breakfast. I have always loved Demel from my previous…read morevisits, and I know it is a world-renowned and historic establishment, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I ordered my usual Kaiserschmarrn and a drink. I had noticed that the table next to me had a drink that looked good, so when the waitress took my order, I specifically told her that I wanted the same drink the table next to me was having. When my order arrived, it was brought by a different waitress. The drink looked completely different from what I had pointed to, so I asked her what it was. She told me it was a double espresso. I explained that I had not ordered a double espresso and again pointed to the drink at the table next to me, which was clearly a hot chocolate. The waitress then called over the waitress who had originally taken my order. Instead of simply acknowledging that there had been a misunderstanding, she insisted, "That's what you ordered." When I explained again that it wasn't, she told me, "It's the same thing." A **double espresso and a hot chocolate are obviously not the same thing.** What bothered me even more than the incorrect order was the way both waitresses spoke to me. Their attitudes and tone were extremely rude, dismissive, and demeaning--as though I was stupid for pointing out the obvious mistake. The interaction became uncomfortable enough that people sitting at other tables were looking over at us. To make matters worse, my Kaiserschmarrn was **cold**. It tasted as though it had already been sitting out for some time before it was brought to my table. I understand that mistakes happen. Had they simply apologized for the misunderstanding and corrected the drink, I would not have had an issue. Instead, I was argued with and spoken down to over something that could have been resolved in seconds. This was genuinely one of the worst customer-service experiences I have ever had at a restaurant, and certainly not what I expected from an establishment with Demel's reputation. After several previous visits that I enjoyed, it is extremely disappointing to say that I will not return and will no longer recommend Demel to my friends.

Loved the decor, made me feel like we were transported back in time. Our waiter came, dressed in his formal clothing despite the heat outside, and took our order. For me, an espresso, for my wife, a chocolate cake and water. My coffee was delivered on a neat little tray with a glass of water to go along with it. The waiter then pretty much left us alone as we took our time eating and drinking. Pricewise, the cafe seemed similar to other coffee shops we had visited during our trip. So why not more stars? Largely because the food being offered isn't vegan friendly. Maybe that is due to tradition, fine I understand that if that's the case, but I've heard that there are other traditional cafes in Vienna that do have vegan options. Just give me one. That's all I'm asking.
