Café Imperial Wien

Fantastic food in an impressive traditional style hotel. Wiener Schnitzel is defitnitely a great choice. So light and full and flavour. Recommend booking first and lunchtime is a good option as not to busy. Evenings tend to be very busy as it's not to far from the Opera House. Great selection of deserts to.

Great cafe. Very tasty cakes and Imperial cake. If you want to bring a sweet souvenir from Vienna, then instead of the tasteless Sacher, take an Imperial cake from this cafe. The most delicious chocolate with a variation of the classic marzipan, orange or raspberry fillings. We always take a few cakes with us for friends and family.

The cafe can not be described in few words. The only thing I can say is that everything is very delicious and well made and balanced. The atmosphere is amazing with slow music 🎶. I ordered coffee and imperial cake, they are unbelievable and tasty. Highly recommended

Wonderful place to go for excellent coffee and a sweet treat. We went around 2:00 pm, and the staff appeared to change shifts, and we seemed to get forgotten when it came time to pay our bill. Part of the Hotel Imperial.

The breakfast is Delicious!! Great quantity of food! Smoke salmon came with roes! Yummy! Coffee is tasty!

The Imperial Cafe, is a sophisticated, resplendent dining experience that stands as a testament to timeless elegance. The cafe is steeped in history, a sentiment echoed by its refined decor, adorned with paintings and photographs that reminisce of its illustrious past and prestigious patrons.

The cafe brilliantly captures the essence of royal opulence. Its ambiance, reminiscent of a bygone era, is beautifully complemented by the strains of classical music that fill the room in the afternoon. This gentle melody, twined with the cafe's quiet splendor, creates a magical setting that transcends the ordinary.

Beyond the wide variety of beverages, the delectable small snacks offered alongside enrich the dining experience. Whether for a business meeting or a romantic date, the atmosphere is perfect for intimate conversations and meaningful exchanges.

However, there's one area where the Imperial Cafe could definitely improve, and that's the staff's approach to hospitality. While not unfriendly, they sometimes come across as less warm than you might expect in such an inviting setting. A little more friendliness and attentiveness could elevate the overall dining experience from great to truly memorable.

I suggest every tourist to Vienna try this one and not only the sacher torte. And we got by mistake the Viannese iced coffee instead of the regular iced coffee this time, which is amazing

Impecable service and wonderful breakfast at this little cafe. Loved the omelette, great selection of breads, champagne, and fresh to order coffee. Well worth it.

As a devoted dessert lover, Café Imperial Wien is a true hidden gem that never fails to delight my taste buds. Tucked away in the heart of Vienna, this renowned café offers a dining experience that is both elegant and inviting.

Authentic schnitzel served with very fresh salad. If you are not a bit eater they have small portion available which is great. Must try Tafelspitz - super tender. Crème of potato soup is excellent too.

Went with my wife for dinner. I had roasted fillet of bass, and she had well done angus beef. She said that the beef was so tender that she could cut it with a fork. The bass with truffles was delicious. Each of us had a glass of riesling. The wine had a strong taste and went well with the food. Service was very courteous and prompt. This is an excellent restaurant that exceeds the quality that would be expected for the price one has to pay.

Breakfast at reasonable price in a luxury hotel. The service was so professional, the waiter remembered what I ordered yesterday. French toast and omelette were my recommendations. Coffee was great too!

The perfect stop for classy dinner and premium service! In Vienna! We spent there our anniversary before heading off to a nearby classical concert. The Tafelspitz is a MUST try! Just super delicious, 10 out of 10. The dessert choice is super yummy too. I loved the Hazelnut dome!

Charming restaurant located right in the heart of the city….delightful experience…

Incredible Kaiserschmarn and Imperial torte. Service is polite, atmosphere is very chic. Would come back for the desserts!

Came here solo for breakfast and felt a little weird trying to find someone to seat me (or the big European question of “do I seat myself”). Once seated I was very comfortable. The service is absolutely fantastic and the French toast and Danish pastry were great. It is a cafe in the hotel so it’s very nice, a little fancy but suitable for grabbing a casual bite to eat. Breakfast isn’t THAT expensive, French toast was under 8euro and my coffee was 5 euro but both were great. Not sure how much the dinner is, probably a good deal more. Food tasted fresh! Would gladly come back if I found myself in Vienna (maybe one day I can stay at the hotel).

We love the place. Food was very delicious and service was good. We went there 3 days in a row! We had fish, beef, schnitzel, chicken fingers, coffee and dessert there. All are savory!!

Impressions like you got into beginning of 20 century back. Nice and luxurious but old mirrors and garnitures. Waitress in a siuts. Fresh flowers on the tables
I have drunk only a cup for f turkey coffee. It was fine. The prices a bit higher then in good restaurants in Vienna. Nice paintings and gorgeous ladies room
Loved the atmosphere

It was a bit busy when we went on a Sunday morning and, as we were not hotel guest, we decided to go a la carte instead of the 45€ breakfast buffet. The buffet didn’t look like much special. Instead we opted for 2 cappuccino, eggs with bacon and a danish, eggs Benedict and a (tiny) pot of American coffee. All was delicious, the egg dishes were cooked perfectly, the bacon so thin and crisp, and the cappuccino ok. The eggs Benedict must have been placed under the flame for a minute which melted it into the egg a bit without overcooking the egg.
The only downside was that it was difficult to get attention when the danish wasn’t brought, although when he eventually brought it there were three little danishes on the plate instead of one. The decor is lovely but not as old fashioned as I expected.
All in all it was a lovely experience, the people watching was great, such lovely outfits on the women.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious well priced food - all round stunning dining experience. The staff here are very friendly and accomodated us even though we didn't make a booking. We had dinner here before catching a concert nearby. The Wiener Schnitzel was very delicious here, and the Goulash was outstanding! The pianist played some beautiful jazz music to accompany dinner. Perfect place for a classy night out in Vienna. It is a very formal place but there is no dress code and there will likely be tourists in casual clothing.
