Hatte eine wirklich große Portion ausgezeichnetes Schweinsschnitzel mit Erdäpfelsalat und vorher Eintropfsuppe als Mittagsmenü um sensationelle 12,80. Ich kann die Bezeichnung "in die Jahre gekommen" nicht verstehen. Viel mehr sehe ich ein süßes Café wie damals mit liebevoll gepflegter Einrichtung! Essen gut, Service auch top.

We liked it. We were here on Dec 14th 2019 for breakfast. It was very nice. I felt we got a good flavour of Viennese life. Scrambled eggs with mushrooms were lovely. Coffee was presented in a lovely manner. Good value too.

Great traditional Austrian cafe, I loved the calm, down to earth and slightly old-fashioned ambience and would totally disagree with the person who criticised the atmosphere but maybe they were hoping for something more trendy, for us as visitors to Austria it was a true gem and the food was delicious in a classically Austrian way and the prices reasonable. We had Wiener Schnitzel but the pork version I think, with homemade potato salad and it was spot on. Would definitely visit again next time we are in Vienna.
