Cafe Imperial Wien

About

The Café Imperial Wien, founded in 1873 during the World Exhibition, occupies the former residence of Duke Philipp von Württemberg within the grand Hotel Imperial in Vienna’s heart. Its timeless elegance – from the glass‑roofed terrace to the ornate Imperial Bar – has made it the perfect backdrop for Viennese social life, hosting luminaries such as Sigmund Freud, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Gustav Mahler. Guests are treated to an extensive menu of classic Viennese specialties: from the buttery “Wiener Melange”, the decadent “Pharisäer”, to the legendary Imperial Torte. Breakfast runs daily from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM, while the café remains open until 11:00 PM, offering a full dining experience that blends historic ambiance with contemporary service. Reservations can be made at +43 170 110389 or online via the café’s booking widget, which is particularly recommended for large parties or special occasions. The venue is fully wheelchair‑accessible and welcomes families, coffee connoisseurs, and history enthusiasts alike. A typical visit lasts about one hour, allowing you to savor both the culinary delights and the regal surroundings of one of Vienna’s most celebrated cafés.
