Café Goldegg

A peaceful café and a retreat for reading the daily papers. There is a games room where you can play chess or cards.
Café Griensteidl

Founded in 1848, the Café Griensteidl became a meeting place for Vienna revolutionaries (see p41) as well as poets and artists. In summer visitors can sit outside and enjoy the view of the Hofburg opposite.
Café Hawelka

The bustling Hawelka, opened in the 1930s, offers old-world charm. The owners often took paintings from artists in exchange for food – as a result the walls are covered with works by Ernst Fuchs, among others.
Café Landtmann

Franz Landtmann opened his café in 1873. Sigmund Freud used to have his morning coffee here, as did the artistic director of the Burgtheater, Max Reinhardt. Landtmann bustles with activity day and night and the four rooms are elegantly decorated with velvet upholstery, crystal light fixtures and mirrors with inlaid wood.
Café Lux

Lux, in the Spittelberg area, offers creative cuisine and has seating in the inner courtyard.
Café Mozart

Shortly after Mozart’s death in 1791 this café was established in his name. Today it is a classic Viennese café and restaurant, offering not only snacks but also main courses.
Café Museum

The simple but very stylish interior of the popular Café Museum was originally designed by the architect Adolf Loos. The back room has tables for card games and chess (see p77).
Café Museum

This café was originally designed by the minimalist architect Adolf Loos in 1899 and reflects his anti-ornamental aesthetic. Recently it has been revamped by a modern designer.
Café Prückel

The Art Nouveau Prückel opened in 1903. The back room, the Golden Hall, is preserved in its original style.
Café Ritter

A traditional café just off the main shopping drag with the obligatory variety of coffees, cakes, snacks and newspapers. A great break from nearby shopping.
