Café Eiles

Perfect place to go! They serve from 8 till midnight. They habe extensive menu, so much to choose from. I enjoyed my appetizer which is the traditional viennesse souppot, perfect for the cold weather. Loved everything we ordered except for my daughters sliced dumpling which she said is weird to taste, but other than that it was an amazing experience. Staff are very attentive and really nice.

We were staying very close by and found the café both very convenient, friendly and good service. Open hours very customer friendly. We had an early dinner on two occasions. I ordered a very tasty pork schnitzel and the second time the spinach- ricotta tortellini also very good. The atmosphere is very charming and cosy.

I had wienese goulash - meat was too hard, dry, sauce ok. Dessert - Cardinal - too poor - no jam inside, no fruits, no whipped cream. Glasses for drinks very scratched, old. Service is very good. But food nothing extra, just very average.

Came here after we walked by and liked the vibe inside. We really enjoyed the atmosphere of the cafe and thought was reasonably priced. They seemed to be a little understaffed, as wait times for ordering and paying were a bit more than normal, but not egregious. I got the sausages with mustard and horseradish and my wife got the Caesar salad, but we’re solid “meh” but the atmosphere was good enough for us to overlook the meal.

Walked past and thought it looked really cute, went in quite late for a late dinner after the Christmas markets. Schnitzel was really big and delicious! Super fast service and loved the look of the place

We have been there many times, its one of the popular cafes in vienna, nice atmosphere, delicious breakfast and very cosy place to talk and drink your coffe. Recommend it.

Great vibes with very affordable pricing and authentic food. Reminiscing the old Austrian cafes. Highly recommend trying this place

Latte was like warm but apple strudel was nice and hot although vanilla sauce had a skin on it. Service was a litte slow but was a pleasant experience overall.

It's everything I wanted in a Viennese cafe -- friendly, great coffee and food, relaxed and cozy atmosphere. It felt like history, if that makes any sense. It's a gorgeous old space, like a grande dame of a cafe and I was so here for it! Prices are amazing, too. You're not paying extra for some pomp and circumstance - just solidly tasty coffee and a gorgeously simple breakfast. I had eggs and ham and it was maybe €7 and it was probably my favorite simple breakkie of my entire trip. LOVED the proprietor. Didn't catch his name, but even with a bit of a language barrier, he was so friendly and just vibed.

This is one of many café in Vienna. I wouldn't say their food is amazing, but their food is in solid quality and priced reasonably. Because it's a relatively large café and is a few blocks away from the nearby tourist areas, you can get in without waiting. While I was staying in Vienna for a week, I came here three times, once for dinner and twice for breakfast. I had Breakfast Café Eiles TWICE! It comes with an egg, ham, prosciutto, Emmental cheese, bread, juice, and melange (€12.80). If you're staying in Vienna for several days and are tired of going to a touristy restaurant, I highly recommend that you try Café Eiles. It's close to the City Hall and the Parliament (but it's in a quiet area).

Typical old fashioned slightly run down Austrian cafe. As in most cafes they carry a full meal menu in addition to the pastries. I decided for the Wurstel which were long sausages like frankfurters. Very tasty and served with a roll, mildly spicy mustard and freshly shaved horseradish. I added a side of French Fries. A delicious local lunch. Fries were not salted which let me add the right amount. As in many old fashioned cafes they had communal newspapers to read.

This cafe is both grand and cozy, which speaks to good design! We walked in and were seated without a reservation by a friendly waiter. He noticed that we struggled with the language and quickly replaced the menus with English versions. The food is hearty, filling and warm. Goulash tasted mostly of paprika. The meat was stewed until fork tender, yet tougher bits did get stuck between teeth. The desserts were satisfying. The cake was very dense and soaked in cherry liquor. A thick coating of bright pink icing made the cake look like a gift. The cheese streusel had a tart lemony taste, which was complimented by the vanilla sauce. End the meal with one of the spiked coffees. Orange liquor goes very well with coffee and cream.

The service was the best thing about this place Andrea gave us great suggestions for food and drink and was so patient with our kids. She also took the time to sit with us and give us suggestions on where to go. My daughter said the spinach and ricotta ravioli was the best she's had. We also got sausages, a chicken club and the egg noodle dish with cucumber salad. All the food was well prepared and tasted fresh. The scenery was also nice.

this was my favorite restaurant i went to in vienna. it was so cozy inside with a great selection for the menu and well priced. spaetzl and apple strudel were awesome

The food was nice, classic Austrian. They served local wines which wasn't bad. The service was good and the staff was super friendly. The couple we were with had a seven year old daughter, and the staff was very helpful with the baby.

Pet friendly ! Excellent service and good menu selection. We ordered the minced beef, home made ghoulash, French onion soup (different without the cheese). Comfortable seating area.

Old-fashioned Vienna Cafe, not far from the Rathaus, nor indeed far from the Museum Quartier if you want to break away. Old school atmosphere. The apple strudel is held in high regard; I can confirm it's not bad at all ( nor is the sachertorte). The waiter, on our visit, spoke very good English. A good spot to stop and refuel.

We thought this restaurant was so nice that we ate here three days in a row. The outside dining is delightful and you can watch the world go by. Key fact: this restaurant has seat cushions, which makes it more comfortable. I noticed that the bar across the street doesn't and also, we approached the bar across the street first and the owner was quite rude. The food is delightful. We had a chicken salad, a sausage plate and a schnitzel and they were all tasty. Really liked them. (Also had a suchar torte which honestly, was a bit dry. Probably because we ordered it in the evening and it likely had been sitting there all day.) The service was attentive and good. Our waiter was charming and gave great service. I think most people would enjoy this restaurant and I recommend it.

It's been a few weeks since my breakfast visit to this cafe and my most vivid memory is of the tiny booth. It was wedged into a corner but in a claustrophobic manner. My friend was boxed in and each time she wanted to get up, I'd also have to get up....and legit hold my stomach in to successfully exit the booth. I've never felt so hefty in my life. At first we had been seated as a semi-larger table, but the host changed his mind and moved us for spacial reasons, apparently. Aside from the restaurant being seemingly created for people with no body fat, the meal was standard. Nothing special. I had the English breakfast...which comes with coffee (or tea, but I chose coffee) and ham and eggs. I think there was also toast but I can't seem to find my photo. Service took a bit of time but we weren't in a crazy rush. We were headed to the Christmas market at City Hall, and this was in close proximity. It worked as a budget breakfast spot. It also worked as a diet inducer. JK please you really think I'd give up pie and hot dogs?

My hotel's breakfast buffet costs €18 per person...no thanks. Luckily next door, Cafe Eiles has breakfast plates €6.50-13 each, which includes coffee, or even champagne. The €8,70 "English" Breakfast is interesting, because its nothing I've seen in America, Ireland, or the UK...two fried eggs with bacon and chives cooked into it, served with toast and coffee. Pretty good regardless! (FYI: Continental Europeans tend to eat light breakfasts). Menu: http://app.cloudfaces.io/api/files/project/a310/lists/l1850/ba1756d5669e4297b668e5b680e396f1.pdf Its an old fashioned beautiful elegant Viennese style cafe inside, with a mix of locals and tourists, and the outside tables dominated by the smokers, as always in Europe. Service is friendlier than the average for Vienna. If you're staying in the area, its worth walking over to.

A Saturday tradition until Covid-19 intervened. Food is usually good and comes quickly. Nothing special, standard fare though the service is better than many cafes in Vienna. The decor is sehr traditionell and most of the wait staff speak English well if your German is lacking. Can get busy during tourist seasons, but usually has places to sit without a reservation during the daytime, even on weekends, gets busier in evenings but even then never had trouble getting a spot (only book ahead if you have a larger group, tables for 2-3 are readily available at most times). Location is convenient to theaters and Rathaus. They also adopted the smoking ban long before some other places (like the cafe next door) so it doesn't reek of smoke like some other places in the city. Recommended stop for locals and tourists alike. You can get better, but you can also do much worse. Added bonus: food and drinks are sehr preiswert.

The touts say this is number one. The renowned apple strudel is even better than touted. Start your day here with the strudel and a double espresso and your inner engine will purr.

This cafe is right down the street from where we are staying and we are so glad it is! We've been there for every meal, good prices, friendly staff, and they accept cards for payment. If you stop by, make sure to save room for the strudel!

We have been in Vienna for four days and have already been here 5 times! The food and service are amazing. Who needs a kitchen on vacation when you stay so close to Cafe Eiles?

We didnn't like this place, the staff wass very very rude. Literally forced us to tip, when really it was the worse service ever. Even the mug for tea was dirty.

Staff friendly really good food and the place is really antique and unique. It was walking distance from our hotel and really centric place. Yummy cakes as well

Wonderfully authentic Viennese cafe filled with mainly locals (refreshingly unlike many first district cafes). Conscientious service and smooth coffee with great 'Only in Vienna' ambiance makes for a very pleasant start to one's morning!

The coffee and desserts are so tasty and the wait staff friendly and polite. Nice and cozy. We kept coming back. Highly recommend!

This was my very first cafe experience in Vienna and it was wonderful! I had a ham and cheese sandwich, which the Viennese serve with a side of ketchup. I also had the Schneider Weiss, which was really good. To top it off, I had the carrot cake, which was also delicious. Very friendly staff and a warm and inviting atmosphere. My German is rusty but my server spoke excellent English when I stumbled. Five stars! Thank you!!!

Very big Viennese style cafe with old and vintage seats. We ordered the English Breakfast and the frankfurter and they were pretty good. The tea was somewhat overpriced compared to the food. Service and atmosphere were also pretty good.

Super friendly staff, great breakfast and they have gluten free bread too which is difficult to find in Vienna.

Life is Vienna is made from these quiet and cozy little coffee shops. Café Eiles is wide, open and has this old timer setting, which is probably the best feature it has to offer. You really to get the space around you, but the sitting space is way too small. The breakfast that I had was normal and the portions were regular. The service is far and in-between so be ready for some waiting time. Otherwise it's just another café house in Vienna. Good for a quick stop, but not for relaxing or chatting.

This restaurant was nice. I went with my wife while on our stay in Vienna. There was no crowd I think that being Christmas Day had something to do with it. The fries were the best I had a beer and the sausage platter.

this big viennese cafe was near our hotel during our stay in april. we wanted to try their version of the sacher torte since the original sacher torte was a big let down. their version was much better. the staff was nice and the decor was a bit rustic.

Another old Viennese coffee house, so it is naturally old like an antique shop. However the service was good and the coffee was good.

This Viennese Café is one of the nicest I've seen, I liked the traditional lay out without looking old or dusty! But I couldn't judge on their drinks myself: my friends said it was good (and the pastries tasty!), but I arrived after them and the waiter never came to our table again - so I didn't order anything. One piece of advice: if you want something, call or wave to the waiter! It was quite busy on a Saturday afternoon but it is so big there were still some tables left. Ladies, be prepared to queue if you want to go to the bathroom.

The Cafe looks quite polished both from outside and inside, it's a place to meet with a friend and talk for ages looking outside the window to the busy street. Maybe then you won't notice that the service is not exceptional and the taste of the cakes either. The cafe takes credit card though, which is not typical and might be nice to know if you are running out of cash)

The cafe looks nice. It's a typical Viennese cafe with high ceilings and a quaint setting. Unfortunately, the waiter was so rude to us that we left before ordering. All we did was walk by him towards a reserved table-and he screamed at us! we said we were just looking for a table for 4 in a very polite and friendly manner and he screamed again, saying it's not his problem! There were tables everywhere but by this time he had killed the vibe for us. Four stars for the appearance and zero stars for service.

My Aussie friend and I visited after seeing the Christmas market at the Rathaus-park. The staff are very helpful, and seemed to appreciate my failed German. The beer was lovely and very affordable. The interior seemed like it hadn't changed for years so gave it a really classic feel. Lovely little cafe.

This place would have garnered a much more favorable review if at the end of our meal our waiter had not come up and told us tip is not included in our total and asked how we were going to give him a tip and proceeded to add his own tip to the card reader to cash us out. Clearly the waiters pray on American tourists feeling awkward with the language barrier to get more money out of us. Very tacky.

we loved the classic salon style atmosphere and the food was great. we were surprised at how inexpensive and authentic it was, there is nothing like it in the states!

for an old time classic, the food was very good and the service very quick and friendly you did not feel like you were handled like at the tourist trap White Chimney Sweep mellow place, easy seating, it was just right

This place is a couple of blocks from my hotel. I passed it several times, and on my last evening in Vienna I decided to try it. It's very pretty and traditional inside, with traditional Viennese dishes. I ordered a Topfelstrudel with vanilla sauce and a cafe Vienna. The food was delicious. I saw the reviews here about bad service. My waitress was very sweet. Really she was too nice. I waited and waited for my bill as she sat at a table with some Italian tourists giving them tips on what to see. I eventually left my money on the table and left. But that was a small thing.

Huge cafe in a gorgeous traditional style. The waitress was awesome, not hovering at all (not like some cafe's in Vienna, where you've been asked three times what you want to order before you've even put your bag down...I'm looking at you sacher). Slow pace, relaxed, great pots of tea. We sat down and took a load off our feet and weren't made to feel like pesky tourists. We'll definitely be back!

The only reason I have tried Eiles is its proximity to the place I was staying at. However, the pretty good location and excellent decor do not fix the food. It was bland and greasy, although relatively inexpensive. The service was good, but if you are looking for a finer food experience, look elsewhere; Vienna has its share of truly excellent cafes.
