Café Landtmann

Vienna

LoginSave

Freud, Mahler and Marlene Dietrich all had a soft spot for this coffee house, which opened in 1873. Today it attracts politicians and theatre-goers with its elegant interior and close proximity to the Burgtheater, Rathaus and Parliament. The list of traditional coffee specialities is formidable, although at €5 to €9 per cup you might need a celebrity income to linger over drinks.

The dessert menu features Sacher Torte (chocolate cake) and Apfelstrudel (apple strudel). There’s free live piano music from 8pm to 11pm Sunday to Tuesday.
