Café Aera

I had a full course (liver dumplings soup, schnitzel with salad and malakoff desert) and they were all very good. Also, nice place with friendly staff and good atmosphere. Recomended for sure.

Nice large, quieter cafe to escape from the Altstadt crowds. Enjoyed some coffee and soup. Apfelstrudel was a bit sad looking though

I am a regular customer as a frequent performer. The staff are friendly and the portions are generous in size. There's a range of events happening in the performance space in the cellar. Well worth a visit.

We tried the soup of the day and it was veryyy tasty with a great price. The toasts are really delicious. We loved carbonara pasta as well. Recommended

First restaurant I visited in Vienna. I had the best schnitzel ever. The service was great. They have an English menu. The only downside is that they don't accept debit/credit card. besides this, I really recommend this place for having lunch or breakfast.

Good place to get a proper Austrian meal. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Good selection and the possibility to combine your main with different sides. Desserts are made in house.

We stumbled across this place by accident in Vienna. It was so good. We went back twice. What a wonderful find. The food was amazing and the price was right.

Used this 'Pub/Restaurant ' as it was used by locals and not tourists and therefore honest, well priced with extremely friendly and attentive staff. The atmosphere was terrific with the option of entertainment later in the evening. On top of all this the food was amazing and the beer exceptional. I will be going back

I would give this place less the one star if possible. They closed the kitchen while we were there waiting for them to take our order after handing us a menu. To make things worse they were rude in doing so. The young Asian girl should be fired immediately.

My golden rule of trying new restaurants is how busy does the establishment look? After a long day of traveling to Salisbury, I decided to dine at Cafe Aera. It's right down the block from my hotel. I passed it a couple of nights and noticed they had pizza on the menu. I had dined on schnitzel a couple of nights and wanted to try Austria's pizza. In Vienna, you walk in a restaurant and seat yourself. The place was buzzing and packed: good sign. I sat down and decided it was a good night to start with soup. I chose the bouillon with dumplings, a healthier choice. It was hearty and the dumplings, sorry to say tasted like Matzoh Brei. However, it hit the spot. As did my Austrian beer. In Europe, beer comes in two sizes: small or 1 liter or large 2 liters or more. My pizza came and I didn't realize how big the portions were. I ordered Margherita, plain and simple. I asked for fresh basil and the server shook is head. Garlic? Crushed red pepper? I was 0 for 3. I cut my pizza with a knife, no pizza cutter. The first slice was heavenly: cheese oozing and just the right amount of sauce. There was hints of garlic on the pizza. It was delicious and after 2 slices I had reached my saturation point. I asked for, dare I say it, a doggy bag. My hopes for tasting the Apple strudel were quickly dashed. Now for the ambience: eclectic mix of people. Young and old were here tonight, enjoying their meal and laughing hearty. There are posters adorning the walls and fresh flowers on the bar. Each table had its own steel basket of cutlery and napkins. The service was nice and efficient. Total bill: 13.9 euros/$16 American

Nice little place with great atmosphere. Stopped in while walking thru the district. I ordered the Club Sandwich and was shocked when it arrived at the size. Amazing!!

4 for the venue (ambient, chilled & relaxed) 2 for the food (spaghetti was so plain & lacking in effort, for the price as well, that it should be shameful for being brought onto any table) If you want a place to chill with friends for drinks then it's not a bad place. If you want to eat, then there are many other places with better quality & price.

Highly recommend. Away from the majority of tourists and great Viennese cuisine with kind staff

Surprisingly large inside, but still a cozy feel -especially seated by a huge, old fashioned radiator on a cool wet Fall morning. The Big Breakfast is no exaggeration: three varieties of delicious bread, a fluffy croissant, four slices of cheese, six slices of good garlicky ham, and a soft boiled (maybe not quite soft) egg. Plus all the jam, honey, butter, Nutella, and a coffee. Pleasant service and the waitress was fluent in English. The way a cafe should be.

One of the most unique places in the first district. Has its own atmosphere and class. Not striving to be posh nor is trying to make itself seem so alternative. The ppl that for there would explain what I mean. Food tasted delicious and they have full bar if you aim to nibble and drink with friends. They also have an interesting lunch menu that ppl working nearby can enjoy.

an old hang out with many memories....good food menu and beer is always fresh and ready to consume....off the beaten path, so easy to find parking to within the ring and close to the bim/ringstrasse train stops....
