I don’t usually like to queue for a restaurant, but the queue was short when we walked pass. This turned out to be one of the best culinary experience of my trip. And the schnitzel was the best one I have had in this trip. I liked how crispy it is.
The venue was absolutely gorgeous and the live piano playing added that extra magic to the experience.
I would love to come back here.
Café Central in Vienna is an absolute must-visit! We showed up without a reservation and luckily snagged a table for eight. Brunch was fantastic—eggs and bacon, bagels, and other dishes we tried were all spot on. The large cappuccinos, though a bit pricey at €9.20 (come on folks - that’s a bit too much margin!), were delicious, and the desserts were simply to die for! The café's interior is stunning, exuding classic Viennese elegance, and the pastry display at the front is irresistible. The waiter was absolutely charming and really completed the experience as well! It’s not the cheapest spot in town, but the experience is worth every cent. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return! When we walked out, there was quite a queue so reservations are definitely recommended!
There was a line in front, and it took about 15 to 20 minutes to be seated. The atmosphere is incredible with live piano music. The staff are very professional and polite. The pumpkin soup and goulash were very, very tasty (especially the pumpkin soup). The apple strudel was amazing with vanilla sauce (I liked the sauce more than the strudel). The hot drinks are very good. I think it is a must to visit this place in Vienna. And the Strudel is better than other deserts.
It's one of the classic legacy cafe / coffee house in central Vienna where many famous people been there over its history. Food is good. Delicious cakes and pastries.
Service is a bit slow due to high demand. There is usually long wait time. Indoor is nicely decorated. No waiting for outside tables, seat yourselves if available.
They accept touchless payment.
This was a great experience, but definitely the long line having to wait outside isn't great, especially when it starts to rain. The food was very tasty. Some portions are big others not so much. The schnitzel is definitely recommended. The suckling pork was delicious, just the portion was small.
The atmosphere is okay, but the place is just too busy and a bit loud.
The service wasn't the best. The staff are extremely busy and don't have time to treat you well. Additionally, with the poor service they expect to get tips and if you refuse or give the minimum, they become a bit rude. The coffee was a bit over priced for my liking.
