I had the Chili Cheese Fries, the fries were great, the chili cheese part not so much. Not enough meat or jalepenos, too much beans and generally not a fan of cheese from a bottle, but overall they were OK. Burgers are on par with Burger House, but their fries are far better. Closed on a Sunday, but he did say maybe in the Summer they would open. I'd say my new favourite burger joint has been found.

It seems like it's been here for ages and, the cafe has that beautiful old world charm about it. I love the inheritors here and it's totally understated yet super cool :-)) I was transported back to the golden days as soon as I stepped in. The menu here is small and has some lunch specials and they serve dinner till 8pm. We ordered coffee and shared a piece of nut cake. The cake was delicious, moist and spongy unlike cakes you get in most places around town and, I would happily give it 5 stars. The coffee was also quite ok and I enjoyed it. The owner was very friendly and casual and quick to serve us. There is a bit of outdoor seating here and I think we will spend some time out here if we end up getting a few days of summer. I really had no idea how nice this place was and I will definitely be back for cake and coffee anytime. A little gem in the area :-))

Considering its VERY humble appearance from the street, this place is truly a hidden culinary gem…read more The owner is saucy, gracious, funny and a genuinely talented chef. I'd come here a few times for breakfast when I first moved to the neighborhood, and had once enjoyed a delicious bowl of pasta at lunchtime on a weekday, but could never convince my husband to try it; he took one look at the shabby exterior & outdated sign and was not interested. Finally, tonight was my night. We have guests, all of us hungry and tired after a long day, and the other restaurants on our street were fully booked... I knew I had to strike. As soon as we walked into the lushly decorated, quiet interior, I was afraid I'd made a mistake - it almost seemed closed. We wandered toward the back where we encountered the owner, and he made some good-natured comments about not having much food left, and "being alone in the kitchen" tonight. We joked right back, and he listed a few dishes he could whip up, if necessary, for 4 weary diners... everything sounded amazing, and we all settled on the Tagliatelle with Truffle Butter and Champignons for simplicity's sake. He warned us it would take awhile and left us with our fresh, cold beer to relax in the quiet room and chat. Half an hour later we were digging into our perfectly-prepared, heavenly mountains of pasta. The lighting was a little too "romantic" to get a good shot of the dishes, but they were beautifully presented. We devoured our meals without speaking a word - a definite indicator the food was exceptional. I have the sense that everything at Cafe am Josephsplatz is prepared with care, and from the finest ingredients. It isn't a place to rush in and out of, and you also don't get the feeling that they're just mass-producing piles of pasta or pizza after pizza, as with some Italian restaurants. Oddly enough, our bill came to just €12 per person - for the delectable dinner and beer combined. I almost thought he'd made a mistake. TL;DR: My skeptical husband practically licked his plate. We'll be back.

Good place for friendly breakfast or healthy snack. They have a variety of piadinas with baked…read moreveggies and homemade dark, rye bread, vegetarian patties and smoothies as well as the usual variety of croissants, Leberkäs, eggs etc. Plus, the front tables and the terrace get wifi signal from the Telekom hotspot located just outside (beware laptop users- this is very slow). But the music - a very lame radio station with lots of nndum nndum stuff and nndum nndum remixes from songs that were perfectly fine before, currently on a loop of about 8 songs which are turning my brain slowly into mushy slush- make it impossible to work; the door is open wide on warm days which brings in all the smoke from the terrace and the decor is a bit old and not very cozy; kind of like a diner. I am taking away one star for the deco/smoke problem and then another for the music, lack of satisfactory wifi solution and the fact that a large coffee cup is in fact very small. Having said that, the healthy options including soja milk and that super bread they put in the piadinas have ensured I shall return- without the laptop and with good headphones. Best recommended to take away.

This means: how fun an evening here is depends entirely on how much you enjoy your company. Pet peeve - please, don't make those QR code menus mandatory, I promise I am ordering way less with those, simply because it's a hassle to pull them up and study options on my phone than skipping another course or dessert. I am in a restaurant, offline, for once... Please.

Food was a whole lot better, the service was also better and of course the wine list has improved. The flavours were intense and for a while I thought I was in Spain. The desserts here are to die for. The Creme Catalan tasted amazing and the Zitroneeis was probably one of the best Lemon Ice creams i have ever tasted and i actually don't like dessert with Lemon. Not sure what they have done but I love this place now :-)) Nice to know that things can change for the better :-))) The value for money is still not great but that won't stop me from coming back.

Instead of telling me it was a private event or something, the guy grabbed me by the arm and pushed me into a table. He left bruises on my arm and leg. I was so shaken up at the moment that I decided to leave to calm down a little but when I came back 30mins later to talk to the manager about it I wasn't let in anymore and completely ignored. They told me if I wanted to complain I should call the police. This happened at around 9:30pm so the place was still a little empty and I wasn't intoxicated. I urge all of you not to go to this establishment and support this kind of behavior.
