Cafe Central

On Sunday we chose the legendary Cafe Central at Herrengasse for breakfast. This typical Viennese coffee house opened back in 1876 and was a meeting point for the intellectual elite of the city. It was closed for a number of years between 1943 to 1975 and is today still one of the most popular cafe restaurants in the city. They don't take reservations at weekends so we expected a line. But it moved fast and we were seated quickly. A beautiful oldy worldly Viennese "Kaffeehaus" with a delicious looking cake selection, high ceilings, and marble decoration. The service was fast and very friendly and helpful. You can eat there any time of day, we had breakfast but the lunch and dinner menu also sounded really promising. Food and coffee were delicious and we ended our meal with a typical yummy "Sacher Torte". Although it is a very busy place and lots of tourists come to visit I can wholeheartedly recommend you try it when in Vienna!
