Adorned with the striking artwork of Gustav Klimt's famous works amongst its dark wood interiors, this cosy cafe makes for a good retreat for a quiet cuppa on a balmy afternoon. Anton - the boss never fails to greet you with a word or two
which makes you feel like a close friend every visit.
For breakfast,I always zoom in for the scrambled eggs for starters. At $4 a portion served with tossed greens laced with balsamic vinegar on the side & 2 pieces of toasted rustic bread with dainty butter swirls on the side. This is typical comfort food when swished down with a lovely mug of hot chocolate $4 served with a huge marshmallow on a vintage silver platter. The kartoffel salad $6.90 also makes for a refreshing snack with the mix of apply,potato,onions and raisins drizzled with a tart vinegar.
You must try the desserts here ! They are simply too good to be missed. Just doggy bag it back home if you are too full after the main course. It's most popular chocolate confection - the sacher torte, might be too rich for some. Alternatively, try the linzertorte ( a lattice-like crust atop a thin layer of raspberry jam on almond flavoured base) or its good ol' apple pie in thin pastry filled with yummy chunks of apples,raisins and cinnamon. Before you know it, you will be planning your next visit here for a juicy gossip session with your closest pals.
Open from 9am to 10pm daily. You can request for breakfast menu dishes even after lunch, just remember to ask nicely :) and take care not to offend the pudgy senior waiter with the black rimmed specs, he tends to get a bit temperamental. Do also sit right in front of the counter if possible as the junior wait staff there are not as attentive during off peak hours. You have to self serve if you choose to sit on the upper deck which is quieter. The lunch special sets are good value for money so if you can steal away for a 2 hour lunch-capade. By the way, there is no service charge imposed, tip at our own discretion if you feel they have done a good job. If dining alone, i would suggest a salad/side dish+drink+dessert as the portions of main courses are huge and more apt for sharing with a party of 3 or more.
