As our 38A bus pulled up the hill and we saw the terrace overlooking the city, hubby and I both instantly thought "lunch spot"! Walked around the cute town and after a "wine-tasting" at a local winery, we came in here. We were welcomed and took a table on the patio with amazing view, albeit a tad cloudy since rain is on its way. Our waiter didn't speak any English but with some gesturing, we placed our order. We had the Sacher sausage with horseradish, mustard and bread -- that was delicious and perfect bites to share with our wine and beer. After enjoying our time up on the Kahlenberg hill, we opted out of visiting the Dabube tower -- no need to :-) read more

We initially stumbled upon this place while exploring Vienna. We found it, by staying on the 38A bus, from some other part of town (I think we tried to find Mozart's house or something...) hungry, we got on the bus and road it (there was a lot of folks going somewhere on it, up this hill and winding road we went!) When the bus stopped here and everyone got off, we looked at each-other and said, okay lets see where they are all going, who needs a guide book. Turns out, we made a great choice! Unlike a lot of places we went, there was no English speaking staff on site. However, with a small amount of gesturing, they did produce an English menu of sorts, enough to take an order... and when in doubt, we just asked for a local beer and whatever the waiter would recommend. We were not disappointed. The sausages and foods were fresh and tasty, the service while slow, was great... trust me you don't want to rush to eat here. Take your time and enjoy this view and setting. The staff was nice and even with the language barrier we felt very welcome. The price seemed reasonable. About the restaurant and setting. As you walk in you'll see that there is an inside area, you find your own seat... but skip inside, go past it to the outdoor patio. You'll quickly see why the locals come here! In the mid summer, this is a AMAZING view of the city! Your way high up on a hill, you can see all of Vienna and it's very romantic and laid back. Bring your wife or your special someone, but leave the kids at the hotel. You do not need to dress up, simple polo shirt and pants (as most in Vienna dress) will do. I'm not sure if they are open at night, but if they are this view would be amazing at night as well. We went on a Sunday afternoon, around 2pm. Some final notes, I don't think they take credit or debit. Of course, most folks reading this should know to bring hard currency with them. Also just behind the restaurant and within walking distance is a little road that takes you to a public park up the hill a bit. A very nice walk, and by the bus stop area there is a free public water fountain for you and you must drink from it. The best water is here, ask a local about why the water is so good, cool and refreshing. Just below the restaurant on the hill is a set of vineyards, also easy to walk to. Some great photos can be taken here with the city in the background. read more

I've come here twice and had a great experience both times. Staff are polite and courteous, and give you space to enjoy your meal and view. Mostly reasonable prices for what it is! Of course you're paying for location, so you have to keep that in mind. ;) I will come back. read more

Cobenzl Cafe-Restaurant - Cafes Near Me - Vienna, 9

The view here is stunning, especially at sunset! But pleeeease reserve a table, because its always busy and the service personal is unfortunately not helpful at all - indeed they are actually spoiled with enough people, at least one gets the impression, when asking for something. Most of the time the waiters are rute or forget your orders. prices are average to high and the quality is regular. the interior style is not very new, it has the charm out of the 60s or 70s. read more

I have visited this place for 7 years because of its excellent view, and an incredible Cardinalschnitte. Yet, this time I will not be returning. The waiters have become incredibly rude and the quality of the baked goods and coffee has dramaticaly decreased. After finding a quite nasty bug in my coffee, the waiter basicaly yelled at me as if it was my fault, and gave us an attitude that we did not tip - on a bill of €3.90 for single coffee (bug included). read more

We waited for a waiter to come for 20 minutes to serve us, and we waren't the only ones regarding this problem. Finaly we had to quit and go. It's a shame that we couldn t find the owner there to tell him how rude is reacting his staff when u have the guts to complain about them doing nothing.There was a waiter who should have some experience at his 50's ...almost gave us "the finger". Shocking reaction to a well behavied way to complain.Also i have to say at that hour the cafe was not full ..so no problem for the waiters about seing people coming and going. Pitty ! read more
