    Wiener Schnitzel with potatoes
    Steve C.

    We ate here for lunch one day, and it is a bit pricey for lunch. I had the Original Wiener schnitzel (pork) with the traditional side of boiled parsley coated potatoes. The dish actually comes with two schnitzels. The breading on the schnitzel was the picture perfect golden brown color. The meat itself was a bit dry and devoid of much flavor. There was a cranberry sauce that added a nice flavor to the pork. The potatoes were perfect. My wife had the chicken schnitzel, and it had a lot more flavor and was somewhat juicy. Their desserts looked awesome, but, unfortunately, we were too full to partake in any dessert. Service was excellent, and the restaurant has a sophisticated, yet very comfortable atmosphere.

    Service is not that good This is supposed to be the oldest cafe in Vienna, this building was a medieval bathhouse

    This place provided the authenticity and flavor we were looking for. Accommodatingly warm and delicious, it's what the family was looking for. Service was good, dinner was great, coffee and pastries hit the spot. All in all we had a very pleasant time. This is not your typical tourist trap (read Cafe Mozart) it's more of a local spot.

    A nice cafe in the city centre with a bit of history and attitude. We stopped here for lunch and I had a salad of breaded chicken breast. The salad was excellent and quite filling and it tasted really good. The portions were big and everyone enjoyed their meals. Would happily come back here if I am in Vienna again.

    The monogrammed napkins

    The red velvet couches that line the sides of the cafe make for a cozy, old vibe. The booths leave you with a bit of privacy and the old linen curtains along the windows make you think you are right at Oma's House. If you are just staying for a drink or coffee, the beautiful granite table will remain unclothed. However of you do decide to feast, the waiter in his suit will come over with a monogrammed tablecloth and set the table. The menu comes on the same wooden holder that the newspapers do and tells you about the history as well. Drinks -Cappuccino: ehh. Not good. Just burnt milk atop bitter coffee. Not good at all. But I did enjoy the small Milka Chocolate that accompanied it. Entrees -Schwein im Speckhemd (tenderloin wrapped in bacon): despite screaming oink oink, the meat was tender, flavorful and juicy. But it was raw pork to the EXTREME! The beans could have been cooked more but they are nice with the sauce and the individual peas pop out from time to time. The fries are fine: crispy and hot. Overall, ok. Desserts -Zwetschkenstrudel (plum strudel): mmm like an apple strudel but with plums. The plums are both sweet and tart--the perfect ratio. The dough is nicely moist and melts in your mouth. It's lovely. FINAL VERDICT: the oldest coffee house is also one of the most expensive Kaffeehauser in the city. I enjoyed the atmosphere and time spent, but I would prefer cooked meat and better coffee. The sweets though, delicious!

    A tour guide recommended this place for Viennese chocolate cake. Apparently it's one of the oldest cafe in Vienna. If you love American chocolate cake that is moist and very sugary, then you might not like this. It's not too sweet and more bready, almost like a soft biscotti cookie. I really liked the texture and taste. The layer of chocolate on top was also super delicious, melted in your mouth and was super fresh.

    Part of Breakfast for two
    Lanore L.

    Besides being eminently historic, the cafe is quiet, with great service and huge servings. The Breakfast for two could feed four. The yogurt and fresh fruit was good, breads, marmalade, jam, Nutella, honey and cream cheese with chives sure to please. My companions enjoyed their eggs and breakfast meats and cheeses. The tea and coffee were delicious and the serving plates, cups and tiered plates were all attractive. The decorations are historic, but it was maintained with fresh paint and upholstery. The booth configuration in a natural "U", was much more roomy and comfortable that other cafes. It was nice to have coat racks right next to the table. The selection of newspapers is also good.

    Booth style seating.

    Our first meal in Vienna. It was very delicious and authentic cuisine. The waiter was very helpful…read moreand provided great service. Great environment and food.

    For my 100th review on Yelp, I thought I should pick a place completely awesome that I can go to…read moreoften because it is near where I live ... inotherwords a top-notch local hangout. With those thoughts in mind then I can only be thinking of the good old Cafe Rüdigerhof. This is one of the best chill spots in Vienna .... well actually maybe in all of Central Europe. When you think of Vienna ... and being in a cool-looking place with atmosphere .... and talking with friends ... and enjoying some tasty food and a good beer or wine ...just totally chilling - the Rüdigerhof is made to order. The Rüdigerhof has both an inviting interior and a super Schanigarten for warmer days & nights. The building it is located in is a Jugendstil landmark by the architect Oskar Marmorek. And then there's the food - a selection of tasty dishes from the classic Viennese Cookbook at very reasonable prices. I especially love to go there in the winter and get a warming Gulasch soup. There are rooms for smokers and non-smokers. The smoking room is the best because everyone stays late in this room and it has more of a buzz. It just feels more like a Viennese café. The non-smoking room is not bad - it's just smaller and not as cool. Anyway, I'm lucky that Café Rüdigerhof is so close to where I live. Everyone should have such a place in their neighborhood!

    Very good cake and very good wine! Service is great and the dining area is beautiful. Great spot.read more

    One thing my wife and daughter wanted to do in Vienna was to try the local cake, the Sachertorte…read more There are a few apparently famous venues for this (and a slew of other places too). Gerstner is a long-standing bakery with a few locations (including at the former summer palace). They had a shop relatively near our hotel, so we stopped in early during the trip. If you are facing the State Opera House, Gerstner's is on the right across the street. Note that there is also some as or more famous outlet for cakes behind the Opera House also, but they appeared to have a line when we walked by. At Gerstner's you enter at street level where they have a dessert counter with displays. You can get a slice to go here. However, if you want more of the full experience, you can go upstairs (they have an elevator as well). A wide curving staircase gets you to the rather small 2nd level (the first floor, in local parlance). There are some tables here, but it has the air of a bookstore coffee shop. We opted to continue up to the next floor. Here, there is a dark hallway where you approach the host stand. There was one couple ahead of us and they got seated quickly. I think they had a bar as well as dining, so they ask which you want. We just wanted dessert, so they walked us past the bar. This floor has high ceilings and palace-like decoration. The vibe is definitely 'special' but they don't charge extortionate rates for it, which was nice. We were shown to a small table in the main dining room. I think you could see part of the Opera House out of the open windows. Two of us got coffees and we all split a Sachertorte. We enjoyed it, but everyone agreed that it was a bit dry. Maybe the Viennese don't go for moist cakes. They do have other items on the menu and I think you can get a regular meal here (schnitzel, salads, etc.). However, we visited around 2:30 p.m. on a weekday, so we just wanted the cake. The bill was reasonable, and we all agreed that this was a worthwhile experience.
