[2025 Vienna Restaurant] Travel Guide for Café Central (Updated Mar)

#cafestory I just returned from a fantastic summer trip to Café Central in Vienna, and it was everything I hoped for! This historic café, which has been serving locals and tourists alike since 1876, is an absolute gem. Stepping inside feels like taking a journey back in time, with its elegant décor and classic ambiance. I enjoyed their famous Viennese coffee and a slice of their delectable Apfelstrudel, which was simply divine. The entrance is free, but expect to pay around €5-€7 for a coffee and pastry. Nearby, you can explore the stunning Stadtpark and the impressive Hofburg Palace, both just a short stroll away. The café's location is perfect for a relaxing break amid sightseeing. Highly recommend Café Central if you're visiting Vienna! #trip #Vienna #CaféCentral #travel #historiccafés #Europe

Eastern European cuisine is meat-based, some of which are served with berry dips, and beer is the main beverage. The portions are large and the dishes are relatively simple (for example, a single serving may be a large piece of fried pork chop, a large piece of pig's foot or a large piece of ribs, that’s all, without any side dishes). . Although everyone always says that Eastern European food is not delicious (even the locals I met think so XD), food is also one of the ways to get to know a place. Below are the delicious foods that I carefully selected for this trip. From an experience perspective, they are all worth a try! . #中央咖啡店 Café Central ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This century-old coffee shop has a history of nearly 150 years. The building was formerly the Vienna Stock Exchange and the headquarters of the Austro-Hungarian National Bank. It was later converted into a coffee shop. In the late 19th century, it became an important gathering place for Vienna's intellectual class. It is gorgeously decorated and newspapers are also provided in the store. The overall atmosphere is very European! Must-order items include apple pie and Kaiserschmarrn, but the coffee is a bit bitter (Öfferl's coffee is much better). It is recommended to arrive early in the morning to avoid queuing. Address: Herrengasse 14, 1010 Vienna . #德默咖啡店 Café Demel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This century-old cafe has a history of over 200 years. It is a royal shop and is said to be Princess Sisi's favorite cafe. Her favorite is Sacher-torte (#萨赫蛋糕 /#沙河蛋糕 )❤️ A chocolate cake covered with chocolate sauce. The outer layer of chocolate sauce and fresh cream can balance out the dryness of the cake. The coffee shop also offers #皇煎饼 takeaway (the queue is long and there is also a takeaway stall at the back of the store). The hot pancakes are paired with sweet and sour plum sauce, which is unexpectedly delicious! Address: Kohlmarkt 14, 1010 Vienna . Figlmüller Bäckerstraße ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: A century-old shop, famous for its super-large #friedporkchops (Eastern European fried pork chops are made by hammering the meat into a whole thin slice), served with berry jam for a refreshing and greasy feeling! #BeefSoup and #PotatoSalad were also delicious, but the portions were really large. And because Austrian cuisine is relatively simple and easy to get sick of, after two people shared it, 1/3 was left to take away. It is strongly recommended to make an appointment in advance. It feels really good to go through the long queue outside the door and enter the store directly✌🏻 Address: Bäckerstraße 6, 1010 Vienna . Salm Bräu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: Ribs, #pig's feet A famous beer brewing restaurant. The biggest feature is the super large portion of pig's feet. Although it is a portion for two people, the end result is still not enough to eat it and take it away. XD It is highly recommended to pair it with beer 🍻, which is refreshing and relieves greasiness! Address: Rennweg 8, 1030 Vienna . #Öfferl ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: A chain bakery with organic ingredients. The coffee is delicious, and the toast and bread are tasty with a natural aroma. I recommend you to come for brunch! Address: Wollzeile 31, 1010 Vienna . Fenster Cafe ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: A to-go coffee shop that I passed by by chance. The photo confidently said "Best Coffee in the World". The most interesting thing is to make coffee latte art in the chocolate ice cream cone! Sweet and bitter, it's nice to have a cup on a cold day~ . #Austria #Vienna #MMPlayAustria

Address - Cafe Vienna, is one of the most well know spot in Vienna to eat some of the local handmade Apple strudel.. they are also very well known for their coffee - it is located in the main area of Vienna(center) Ambiance/Facilities - near the cafe there are many stores and restaurants Highlights - The strudel was ok, I would have to say that we had better one elsewhere for a cheaper price, but the inside it is very particular and well designed. Avg. Price per Person - 8 euro for coffee, 6 for cakes, and around 15 for strudel or pancakes. Rating - since I didn’t love their food I would rate 3.5 out of 5. ☕️ #bucketlistreboot #foodie #viennacoffee

The café occupies the ground floor of the former Bank and Stockmarket Building, today called the Palais Ferstel after its architect Heinrich von Ferstel.

Key regulars included: Peter Altenberg, Theodor Herzl, Alfred Adler,Egon Friedell, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Anton Kuh, Adolf Loos, Leo Perutz, Robert Musil, Stefan Zweig, Alfred Polgar, Adolf Hitler, and Leon Trotsky. In January 1913 alone, Josip Broz Tito, Sigmund Freud, and Stalin were patrons of the establishment. Tarot games of the Tarock family were played regularly here and Tapp Tarock was especially popular between the wars.

#celebratewithtrip This place is ABSOLUTELY worth the wait. I have queued for around 30mins before being able to get a table for two. (On a Sunday Afternoon 3pm) I heard that this is actually one of the top restaurants and top cafes in Vienna and was even listed in one of the to do list in Vienna. Served with great hospitality, romantic and beautiful ambience and with great piano music playing in the background. I really have nothing to pick on. English Menu is available. Coffee is good. Main Dish is good. Soup is Good. Dessert is good too. Waiter came over 2-3times to ask if everything is good and alright. Had breaded chicken and traditional Vienna Soup. (unfortunately didn’t take a photo as it was too yummy and kind of eat it too quickly 😆) Dessert shown: Café Central Schnitte Karamellisierte Blätterteig, Vanillecreme Puff pastry, vanilla cream gluten, eggs, lactose Overall I would highly recommend people to try this place if they are in Vienna. The whole vibes is just right. Btw, u can make a reservation and save the time for the Queue. (it was in my list to go but I don’t have a fixed timing thus the wait) #fallingforfall #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #foodie #cafe #passionpassport #mytripvlog #bucketlistreboot #food #autria #vienna #holiday #travel #viennacafe #topcafe #restuarant #mustvisit

#celebrateit Went to eat Viennese breakfast in the old Viennese cafe of 1876. This cafe was visited by many famous people of that time so being there brings you to another century. The decor of the cafe is just beautiful and the cafe is rather popular. We were there for breakfast and there were free tables still but when we were leaving the cafe there was a long waiting line just in front of the entrance, so take this into account.

#getgoing2025 Café Central Always a long line, but definitely worth the wait! I went on a rainy evening so I didn't have to wait too long to get in. The food is very good, especially the Gulaschsuppe! It is a traditional soup that originated in Hungary, but is also common in Vienna. It was a very satisfying dish with plenty of beef and vegetables.🥄 The showcase was full of delicious looking cakes. I definitely want to try them next time.😋 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Café Central 📍Address: Herrengasse 14, 1010 Wien, Austria 💞Reasons to Recommend: Amazing view, food ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #Austria #Vienna #cafe

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Another beautiful bakery in Vienna that is perfect for a cup of tea and afternoon snacks while walking around Vienna's old town. Although there are quite a few seats inside, if you visit in the afternoon, there will be a lot of customers, but the wait is not too long. The management system is quite efficient. Many of the cakes on display in front of the shop look delicious. The cakes I tried: Truffeltorte and Zitronen-Tarte. The taste is as expected: Truffeltorte is chocolate, milk mixed with hazelnuts, and a little sweet. In conclusion, this is a bakery that is worth stopping by to relax in the afternoon and take a break while walking around. #ViennaTravel #ChristmasCafe #vienna #christmasvibes

The world's top ten most beautiful cafes: Vienna Central Cafe! The Central Caf opened in 1876. From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, it was a meeting place for many artists, literary, political and scientific people, such as musicians Beethoven, Schubert, John Stewart. The father and son of Rouse, the painter Klimt, Schiller, even Hitler, Lenin, Trotsky are all favored here. directly opposite the hall of the cafe is the portrait of Joseph I and his wife, Princess Austin, and the gothic high ceiling, streamlined arch wall, marble pillars, sitting in such an environment. Listening to the live classical piano performance on the side, I finally know why celebrities like to come here. The elegant and comfortable environment is the source of inspiration and new ideas! The clerk here is always busy and unobtrusive, but the service is unambiguous, including the recommendation of the dishes, the speed of serving and the final packaged service, all leaving a "reliable" impression! Finally, I ordered the name of the cafe, and we are very satisfied with the taste of each snack! Kaiserschmarrn Emperor shards (with prunes) Sacha Chocolate chocolate Wiener Melange coffee Looking through the window at the intersection, looking back at the cafe, soft and warm Under the light, people who enjoy this good time...

Central Caf Caf Central Opened in 1876 "I am not at home in a cafe, not in a cafe, just on the way to the cafe." I didn't expect this classic popular in coffee culture. Slogan, actually from Vienna, I thought it came from Italy or Paris. The Vienna poet Peter Altenburg, who used to write in the central cafe for a long time, even changed the address of the address to the address of the cafe. This sentence is his true portrayal. The coffee shop mentioned in it refers to the central cafe. . As a poet, Peter Altenburg may not have handed down a masterpiece, but today, when you step into the central cafe, you will see a real-life bald-headed uncle statue sitting at a coffee table beside the entrance cake cabinet. This is the exclusive seat reserved for the Central Cafe in honor of him. You can also see his story on the menu. Musicians, writers, and politicians who have been lingering in the Central Cafe, which are truly world-famous. Lenin, Stalin, Zweig, Freud, Little Johann Strauss, etc. I came here for lunch before 11:30, and I had a moment when no one was waiting. Shortly after entering the house, there was a long queue outside the door. Ordered a cup of Austria's most common coffee, Melange, 4.7 euros, similar to cappuccino, with fluffy milk foam on top. Two main dishes, two cups of coffee, about 50 euros.

The Central Cafe in Vienna is a place full of legends. There is a classic quote: "I am not at home, just in the cafe; I am not in the cafe, just on the way to the cafe." Step into the central cafe door and first see the sculpture of an uncle, who is the famous Austrian poet Peter Ettenberg. In the past, Aitonberg liked to create here. His life, apart from poetry, is this coffee shop. The architecture of the Central Caf is very characteristic and full of neo-Gothic elements. Now, here, quietly drinking a cup of coffee and tasting desserts, you can still feel the charm of this style cafe. BTW, in the last century, it was also a place where Viennaian writers, musicians and artists gathered. Responsible Travel Tips 1 Central Cafe is located in the city centre and is the gateway to Vienna's Punta Cafe. It is strongly recommended that you go in the morning or at noon, and you will be overcrowded in the afternoon; 2 Austria is a country that collects tips, generally 10% tip is better. If you are really dissatisfied with the service, you can give 5% as appropriate; 3, after the seat, the waiter will first go to the menu, and then come over to consult whether it is ready. Desserts will also be given to you, and the waiters will know what to do, unless they are too busy. The next issue will introduce you to the Central Cafe which is worth a try, don't miss it!

The Central Caf in Vienna is one of the most famous cafes in the world. In addition to the history of the big coffee gathered here, the building inside is very artistic, and the authentic authentic food is also one of the reasons that attract many people to come to check the card. To count the star products of this cafe, I think it must be this apple pie and Viennese coffee. Hot and spicy freshly baked apple pie, accompanied by a layer of frozen ice-cream ice cream, has a kind of irritating feeling of ice and fire. Viennese coffee has a thicker milk foam and a softer taste than usual. Responsible travel Tips 1 Central Cafe is often full of tea time, and it is recommended that you choose to go early to avoid the flow of people; 2 coffee, dessert products are good, point Its not worth it; its not worth it; 3 Austria is a country that collects tippings, and it usually gives 10% as a tip.

It is said that the Austrians "are not in the cafe, just on the way to the cafe." This time in Vienna, I learned the locals and went to the central caf, which is regarded as one of the "World's Top Ten Most Beautiful Cafes." At the first table of the entrance, you can see the sculpture of the famous Austrian writer poet Peter Altenburg. He spent the rest of his life in this caf, which is regarded as the most loyal guest. In addition to him, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and even Freud were the guests here. Order one of the most classic Wiener melange in the store, and a super-music Mozart cake, and a gentleman and a lovely clerk to spend the afternoon...
