    Yummy motto steak sandwich
    Melis C.

    A lovely cafe and everything about it makes it even lovelier! It is on a ship, on the danube canal, in the center, has cute interior also terrace is really pretty for the summer! I am a chai fan so they have a good chai and deserts are yummy! Just go there and see yourself!

    All-day breakfast sandwich

    Trendy spot by the Danube River, great on a sunny day for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Definitely go for the "all day breakfast sandwich" if you're hungry!

    Great place to get a melange and desserts. We got a slice of motto cheesecake and a slice of their version of sachertorte (they call it sclachertorte). We went with a large group and they had a 2 nice long tables set up for us. It was a nice view of the river and the day was beautiful. The ladies taking care of us were nice.

    The Motto am Fluss Cafe is located directly on the canal just off Schwedenplatz. The place is really busy, so booking is advisable. They offer a small menu for lunch and serve breakfast all day long. I had the filled paprika, overall it was good but a bit to heavy on the oil. Also the dessert was too heavy and not very refined. They offer some good wines at the glass at reasonable prices.

    Outside. Soo nice

    This is an excellent place for brunch or breakfast. I have to say the food pleasantly surprised me. It was so tasty that we have to come back here. Home made lemonade qas great scrambled eggs even better and i am not big fan of pancakes but they were amazing.

    A friend and I had breakfast at JOMA a few weeks ago when we were visiting Vienna. We made a…read morereservation (I'm not sure we needed one for breakfast, but it seemed like you might need one for brunch - by the time we left, there were reserved cards on a lot of tables outdoors). We sat on their patio, which was lovely. And the service was great as well. Their breakfast menu has lots of options, probably something for everyone! My friend had their Viennese breakfast (soft boiled egg, butter, jam, honey, organic roll, and organic rye bread), and I had their salmon scrambled eggs (bread with cream cheese, salmon tataki, sea salt, truffle, and cress), which was different than I was expecting but delicious. We each had a couple of coffees and really enjoyed our leisurely breakfast at JOMA.

Everything carefully crafted and professionally presented! I had the juicy grilled kalamari with a garlic sauce (very appropriate) and a wok veggie salad. My partner had the Joma sandwich with sweet potato fries. I also had the lemongrass seafood soup, and I had it twice (yes re-ordered it on the same visit) because it was amazing. Ended the meal with a cup of ginger tea (real ginger pieces). All in all, great dining experience, lovely and relaxing ambience and obliging staff. Five stars.

Loved the decor, made me feel like we were transported back in time. Our waiter came, dressed in his formal clothing despite the heat outside, and took our order. For me, an espresso, for my wife, a chocolate cake and water. My coffee was delivered on a neat little tray with a glass of water to go along with it. The waiter then pretty much left us alone as we took our time eating and drinking. Pricewise, the cafe seemed similar to other coffee shops we had visited during our trip. So why not more stars? Largely because the food being offered isn't vegan friendly. Maybe that is due to tradition, fine I understand that if that's the case, but I've heard that there are other traditional cafes in Vienna that do have vegan options. Just give me one. That's all I'm asking.

A great spot to soak up the atmosphere on a warm evening. Kaiserschmarrn was light, fluffy, delicious, not too sweet. Service was friendly. I speak a little German, but they spoke excellent English.

    I visited Demel Vienna on August 19 during breakfast. I have always loved Demel from my previous…read morevisits, and I know it is a world-renowned and historic establishment, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. I ordered my usual Kaiserschmarrn and a drink. I had noticed that the table next to me had a drink that looked good, so when the waitress took my order, I specifically told her that I wanted the same drink the table next to me was having. When my order arrived, it was brought by a different waitress. The drink looked completely different from what I had pointed to, so I asked her what it was. She told me it was a double espresso. I explained that I had not ordered a double espresso and again pointed to the drink at the table next to me, which was clearly a hot chocolate. The waitress then called over the waitress who had originally taken my order. Instead of simply acknowledging that there had been a misunderstanding, she insisted, "That's what you ordered." When I explained again that it wasn't, she told me, "It's the same thing." A **double espresso and a hot chocolate are obviously not the same thing.** What bothered me even more than the incorrect order was the way both waitresses spoke to me. Their attitudes and tone were extremely rude, dismissive, and demeaning--as though I was stupid for pointing out the obvious mistake. The interaction became uncomfortable enough that people sitting at other tables were looking over at us. To make matters worse, my Kaiserschmarrn was **cold**. It tasted as though it had already been sitting out for some time before it was brought to my table. I understand that mistakes happen. Had they simply apologized for the misunderstanding and corrected the drink, I would not have had an issue. Instead, I was argued with and spoken down to over something that could have been resolved in seconds. This was genuinely one of the worst customer-service experiences I have ever had at a restaurant, and certainly not what I expected from an establishment with Demel's reputation. After several previous visits that I enjoyed, it is extremely disappointing to say that I will not return and will no longer recommend Demel to my friends.
