Café Bar Aperitivo

Amazing food and service that complements the elegant atmosphere. It’s a hidden gem amongst a very busy square and is definitely worth going to. There may be some wait time closer to the end of the day, but don’t let that deter you from going! You do have to demonstrate a bit of patience towards the service time, especially when the space is packed, so take your time to explore the amazing location.

This café has a wonderful atmosphere. It perfectly captures the luxurious ambiance of the Vienna Opera at its finest. Unlike many other cafés in the city center, it is much less crowded. The interior is both elegant and subtle. The coffee was quite good, and the strudel with vanilla sauce was excellent. I highly recommend visiting, even if just for a cup of coffee, to fully enjoy the ambiance.

Amazing experience!! Such an impressive interior, great to have a cup of coffee and a dessert. I saw also a lot of people having breakfast/brunch and it looked delicious. The prices are reasonable for the experience. They also have a shop in the first floor, great if you want to bring a souvenir to your loved ones! 🌸

Pros: it is the premises of the Vienna Opera), good location, nice interior. Cons, there were too many apples in the apple strudel (I think x2), the latte was barely warm. Prices are a bit too high.

Beautiful, spacious, and full of charm, this cafe in Opera feels like a magical place. The decor is stunning, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxing. While the lady who took our order had a bit of attitude, the overall experience was great. The food and coffee were delicious, making it well worth a visit!

5 star place in Vienna. We have waited a bit for sit on the 2nd floor. İmpressive Atmosphere, kindly and helpfully stuff,amazing foods and desert.Thank you very much.

I ordered a hot chocolate with whipped cream. The menu clearly says it is 6.8, they charged 9.5 and pushed for a tip. No whipped cream. It was a packet of hot chocolate mixed in with hot water at the coffee machine, but for overcharging so ridiculously they could at least put the stated whipped cream on top.
