Don’t miss the café’s famous strudel—a treat that has been drawing sweet-toothed visitors for generations, highlighted in Hezi Hofi's review.

For those seeking something unique, the café not only serves fantastic food and drink but also offers entertainment options, including a charming skittle alley in the cellar, where you can unwind, have fun, and create lasting memories—just like Eric James did during a birthday celebration at the café.

Thank for the hosting Graet and nice ppl Great shtrudel

If you must leave the Volksoper for the break, this is the place to go. Service is quick and efficient. This carefully renovated place looks almost the same as its legendary predecessor with all its 50's and 60's charm.

The best hot wine that I've ever tried in my life. The workers are very kind and friendly I highly recommend this place
