    I was going back and forth on whether or not to come to palmenhaus. I've heard from many that it's just a tourist trap and that better cafes are around to choose from but I decided to go anyways and I'm honestly glad that i did. The coffee and pastry were both pretty good, not extraordinary, but I enjoyed them. What you are really coming here for though is the aesthetic and ambience and boy that didn't disappoint. I truly could have sat in palmenhaus for hours. I definitely do recommend a visit!

    Love the look and feel, an arboretum with a outdoorsy feel. We had great service and delightful food! We had the schnitzel and loved it. Out waiter was excellent and we would come again, so much fun!

    Probably one of the coolest places I've ever had the pleasure of eating at! Palmenhaus is definitely one of a kind type of experience. It has a greenhouse like structure and is located around a bunch of stone/ brick buildings, so it sticks out and is easy to find. You cannot get dropped off right in front. Our Uber dropped us off at the entrance to this center spot and we had to walk a few meters- nothing far. We walked in and the first thing you notice is how high the ceilings are. There is so much natural light (which I love) and amazing, lush greenery. We didn't have a reservation but we're told it was no problem. We waited a couple minutes for our servers to set up our table for 6, and were seated promptly. They have a nice variety on the menu. We ordered drinks first, which I got the aperol spritz. It was perfect, the nice 1/2 and 1/2 ratio is always appreciated. We then ordered some appetizers, since we were going to meet some friends at a spot for dinner a bit later. We got the cheese plate, as well as the chilled soup. I forgot the name of the soup, but it was interesting and pretty good. I love basil, and it had basil undertones. I had never had chilled soup before, but it was so hot and I love trying new things- so it was time to try. The cheese plate was good! Always love a good cheese plate- had different varieties of options for different preferences. Before the meal, they served a little dish of whipped ricotta and bread for everyone which was amazing! I think that one was my favorite. SUCH a great spot in Austria- highly recommend.

    Just a beautiful restaurant. Wonderfully decorated and lively establishment. It's located in the Burggarten and looks to be an old palace sized green house. The food was wonderfully elevated, the eggs super fluffy and the bread/jams were a perfect breakfast treat. It's best to have a reservation but they can also see you with a small wait. This is a must stop in Vienna

    The outdoor seating is just so lovely, it is covered to let you enjoy the spring air without being too exposed to the elements. It can have a fair amount of wait time depending on what day you go. We had goulash and a couple drinks off their drink menu, the spring g spritz being my favorite. The goulash had this large bread ball that soaked up all the sauce and was just decadent. You get a view of the gardens/park as well as the back side of Hofburg palace. One of my favorite stops while we were in Vienna.

    We all got very different dishes and we loved each of them Awesome atmosphere in the greenhouse Go early and expect to wait - or get reservations See pictures for what we got - they were all good!

    A friend recommended this place and it looked nice, so I stopped for dinner. Watch out for the €4.50 "cover" after 6:00pm, I've never seen that anywhere else. Regardless of this, I ordered and got served fairly quickly. The waitress did bring out some bread and hummus that makes up for the "cover" somewhat, I suppose. The food came next and it was pretty good. I was satisfied and still had a few bites left. The drink was not bad, I opted for an elderflower spritz. At the end though, was where I had a problem. I went to pay the tab and I was told I ordered a €34 daily special. I ordered the Minced Lamb Patties though for €24, and once I showed this picture to the waitress, she said "okay okay you're right" as if she'd been caught. She was unable to change the credit card total, but gave me some cash to resolve the issue. I'd recommend the place but make sure you take a picture of your food not just for your Instagram, but for any bill disputes later on...

    Indoor seating = botanical garden!
    Tom S.

    The food is great but it's the ambience that sets this place apart. There is a large outdoor patio overlooking the park that is sunny, scenic, and quiet (no street noise). I went back again on a cooler day and found a table inside and it's basically a botanical garden. Great vegetarian options too!

    It's a beautiful venue and that's the best thing about it. Not to say everything else was bad, the food was pretty good and the service was fine but the most memorable thing about our experience there was how gorgeous the venue was. Would recommend to experience the ambiance. (Don't get me wrong, food is good. Just not the same level of remarkable as the aesthetics)

    Grilled shrimp salad.  If only there was more of it.
    Nancy C.

    Dining in this restaurant is like dining in a breathtakingly beautiful greenhouse that is air-conditioned. This pair of tourists happened upon Palmenhaus after a long day of checking out the museums, in dire need of water and nourishment. I ordered a small albeit beautiful grilled shrimp salad, which was delicious and just what I needed. My only gripe about this place is that it's pretty pricey for the portion size, but that's probably to be expected given the restaurant's prime location in an expensive city like Vienna. My husband also ordered a light bite, and our bill came out to €35 for what was supposed to be a snack. Still, this is a beautiful place to grab a drink and collect one's self for more sightseeing.

The Loos Bar was designed by famous Viennese architect and design Adolf Loos in 1908. It's 290 square feet of onyx, marble, and mahogany. It really is an incredible space. (They do have outdoor seating but if it's your first visit to the Loos Bar, you want to sit inside - it's part of the experience.) It's a cocktail bar, so my friend and I each ordered a cocktail according to our preferences from the menu - which is huge. My friend had a cocktail made with mezcal, and I had the Adolf Loos Spritzer (champagne, soda, strawberries, and mint). We both enjoyed our cocktails. Mine was exactly what I wanted on a warm afternoon day - refreshing and light. We went in the early afternoon, because I worried that this tiny little bar would get packed if we went at a more traditional hour for cocktails. It was pretty empty when we arrived and sat inside. So that's what's great about the Loos Bar - the design, the style, the drinks, the history. What's not so great? The service wasn't great, pretty unfriendly/unwelcoming (our bartender seemed almost offended we'd bothered him by ordering a drink). And they have a dress code - no flip flops, backpacks, or shorts (although "elegant shorts are welcome outdoors"). The dress code is reasonable, I suppose, and I probably wouldn't have minded if it weren't for the poor service. Despite this bad service, I can't give the Loos Bar any less than four stars, because it was one of the coolest bars I've ever visited: an amazing, historic space and some great cocktails, too.

    SCAM ALERT. Let me tell you how this will go:…read more The Nigerian bartender will befriend you, find out what you like, let you grab a seat, order your cocktail, and then an hour or two into the evening he will approach your table with an unsolicited tray full "samples" in whatever particular genre of spirits or cocktails he has figured out you enjoy. Only, these are not samples. If you go along with it, you will be unceremoniously charged at the end of the night for every item he brings, which you didn't order. If you protest, highlight the fact you never ordered those drinks, or question this con-artist, he will make an overly dramatic display feigning that he was insulted or even emotionally hurt by your accusations, and at the end of the evening you'll STILL be charged for the drinks you never ordered. This is exactly how it played out for my friend and I. We asked for the manager in order to explain the situation. Then, and this is the amazing part, the bartender who attempted the scam us admitted to overcharging us on purpose! The manager then exclaimed, "I hate drama!" Well, us too. The bartender, upon being caught, then knocked 2 of the drinks we did not order off the tab (still overcharging us 3 rounds) and would go no further, which was the same moment the manager disappeared from view. At one point the classic threat was issued by either the manager or the bartender "we could call the police" to which my friend and I replied "Please do." Both the bartender and manager backed down immediately. They are clearly aware that fraud is being perpetrated at this establishment. I travel often, having spent much time in the developing world, and have seen just about every scam out there. This one was particularly shocking however, given that we were in the heart of Austria. This is not a swindle I expected to find in a beautiful, well run and organized city such as Vienna. As my work takes me back to Vienna often, I'll be sure to continue seeing the rest of that fine city, though I'll probably skip Albertina Passage. I look forward to filing a police report on this incident in the meantime.

Service was good but with too much interference during ongoing table conversations. Live performance was good if you come for drinks. For dining it does not work as it kills table conversations. We moved closer together for a better chance to hear each other, hardly an ideal solution. Food was tasty overall, with the cabbage dish being over salted. Flavor and portion sizes (thank goodness for the ongoing supply of bread) are not in line with the price level. Budget EUR 100 per person with drinks and tip... and for that it lacks on several fronts to make it a memorable stay.
