Café Landtmann, Vienna



While Café Central or Sacher are staples in every Viennese guidebook, the quiet and elegant Café Landtmann is fast becoming my favourite.  It boosts an interior with old-world charm, a verandah with a cheerful view of Rathaus Park, and a team of staff impeccably dressed, courteous yet discreet.  I can spend hours here without dealing with the crowded rush at Café Central or at Demel. 

I have often heard that prices are slightly higher, but on doing a price comparison between Landtmann and Central, this is actually about the same and even cheaper on some items.  Price aside, I think the bake goods here are excellent, so are the coffess.

Address: Universitätsring 4, 1010 Vienna, Austria
Station: Rathausplatz/Burgtheater

當一般旅遊書都著重介紹 Café Central 或者 Café Sacher 的時候,寧靜而又優雅的 Café Landtmann 反而成為了我的喜愛。Café Landtmann由兩部份組成,進門後你會先見到在玻璃屋內的半露天座位。坐在這裏你可以充分享受透過玻璃屋頂照射在室內的陽光,同時亦不受風雨影響。穿過半露天茶座後,你會見到一個裝修古色古香的咖啡室。這個咖啡室的裝潢擺設以至器皿用具都是二十世紀初的設計,加上穿戴一絲不苟的男侍應有禮而又專業的招待,這一切都可以使你在這裏悠閒地消磨好幾個小時。一般評論都說 Café Landtmann 的收費比較高,但經我詳細地與 Café Central 作比較後,發現它們都相差不大,而有一些項目在 Café Landtmann 收費更便宜!其實除了價錢之外,咖啡及甜點小食都是對一間咖啡店非常重要的,而 Café Landtmann 在這兩方面都做得非常出色。
