Weimar Cafe-Restaurant - Wien

This Café was a Vienna institution and especially popular with patrons of the Volskoper, both before and after the show. It offered live piano and the pianist often picked up on the music of the show. Sometimes members of the cast would come in. There...was a good menu with an extensive choice of smaller plates for before or after the show. Now it is a disaster what would have been buzzing and warm is now largely empty, abandoned and cold, literally cold when I went in one evening and we were shivering (almost unheard of in a Vienna café they are usually overheated! The staff have little to do but are not exactly attentive laid back to the point of being laid out. The new owners have removed what decor made it gemütlich. There was no live piano on the last occasions I visited. The staff seem enthusiastic but unqualified. I was very surprised because Diglas has a good track record in vienna and I love some of their other cafés. But maybe they were too cocky did they do the market research? Is the decison to try to be more hip simply to remove what makes the café different from the dozens of (much cheaper bars and restaurants nearby? Is the Abend Menu really intended to demonstrate to the clients that they don 't actually want your custom? That they can 't be bothered to do anything much more than a toast or a sausage? There is just one compenastion. there was a time when you might struggle to get a table after a busy evening at the Volksoper. You will have no problem now.

This cafe belongs to the list of traditional Viennese cafes where good food atmosphere can be found. Open for breakfast through to dinner, stop by here for a meal or just coffee and cake. Waiters let you stay until your conversation has covered all...bases.

Top service. friendly, cozy, good. from the same owner is also the caffe diglas on the scottish pen hard to recommend.

In cozy, attentive service, ski garden on a tram street, good eating. a wiener institution. vis a vis the mak. footsteps the volksoper.

The caffe weimar, just a few steps from the wiener volksoper, still preserves the atmosphere of past days.There are few coffee houses in how where the k.u.k. time still seems alive. cozy sittings, in the evening a barpianist, with a warm kitchen in the old style. Certainly, some dishes are "in the years come" - where else you get but that's exactly what makes the charm of this coffee house. and the fact that in summer tourist time you are not overwhelmed by circular tourist horizons from all over the world, as is unfortunately the case with some other traditional coffee houses. you can spend a long and cozy breakfast here; take a substantial lunch; a short afternoon snack; or chat with friends after a small (or larger) dinner. you don't feel to pay and walk; the waiter keeps himself in the background, but is always ready to face the resurrected hunger or thirsty. brettspiele, playing cards, newspapers and magazine - everything that belongs to the classic wiener coffee house and if you have to go then you are not immediately bankrupt. all in all a very beautiful experience.
