1. Café Sacher
$ | 1st District |Arguably the most famous café in Vienna, it is the home of the legendary Sachertorte, a dense chocolate torte with fresh aprioct jam in the center. This legend began as a Delikatessen opened by Sacher, court confectioner to Prince von Metternich, the most powerful prime minister in early-19th-century Europe. War-weary Metternich must have been amused to see a battle break out between Sacher and Demel—a competing confectioner—as to who served the real Sachertorte. Sacher puts its apricot jam in the cake middle, while Demel puts it just below the icing. If you're not a sweets person, try a savory alternative: Sacher Würstl (slim sausages served with freshly-grated horseradish, mustard, and home-baked bread). Mirrors and chandeliers add glitter, and there is live piano music every day from 4:30 until 7 pm.
Philharmonikerstrasse 4, Vienna, Vienna, A-1010, Austria01-514560Known For
- Alleged origin of the famous Sachertorte cake
- Tasty savory options
- Live piano music daily

2. Demel
$ | 1st District | BakeryVienna's best-known pastry shop, Demel offers a dizzying selection, so if you have a sweet tooth, a visit will be worth every euro. And in a city famous for its tortes, its almond-chocolate Senegaltorte takes the cake. Demel's shopwindows have some of the most mouthwatering and inventive displays in Austria.

3. Restaurant Grüne Bar
$$$$ | 1st District |The classic Austrian dessert, the Sachertorte, resulted from a family saga that began with Franz Sacher, Prince von Metternich's pastry chef, and ended with Franz's son and his wife, Anna, opening the 19th-century hotel. Today, the Restaurant Grüne Bar continues the tradition of creating some of Vienna's finest cuisine. The restaurant has two menus—one with traditional Austrian fare, and one featuring more innovative dishes. The slightly less formal Rote Bar, at the front of the hotel, always has classics on offer, including Tafelspitz (boiled beef), the favorite dish of Emperor Franz Josef.

4. Zum Schwarzen Kameel
$$$$ | 1st District |Back when Beethoven dined at the Black Camel, it was already a foodie landmark. Since then, it has been renovated (but only in 1901) and more recently split into a Delikatessen and a restaurant. Try the former if you're in a hurry—fresh sandwiches are served at the counter. If time allows, dine in the elegant, intimate, Art Nouveau dining room. The Beinschinken (Viennese ham) is the specialty of the house and is renowned throughout Austria.
Bognergasse 5, Vienna, Vienna, A-1010, Austria01-533–8125Known For

5. Café Griensteidl
$ | 1st District | CaféOnce the site of one of Vienna's oldest coffeehouses and named after the pharmacist Heinrich Griensteidl—the original dated back to 1847 but was demolished in 1897—this café was resurrected in 1990. Karl Kraus, the sardonic critic, spent many hours here writing his feared articles, and it's also here that Hugo von Hofmannsthal took time out from writing libretti for Richard Strauss. Although this establishment is still looking for the patina needed to give it real flair, locals are pleased by the attempt to re-create the historic atmosphere. Numerous newspapers and magazines hang on the rack (many are in English). It's also entirely no-smoking.

6. Café Hawelka
$ | 1st District |Practically a shrine—indeed, almost a museum—the Hawelka was the hangout of most of Vienna's modern artists, and the café has acquired an admirable art collection over the years. The Hawelka is most famous for its Buchteln, a baked bun with a sweet filling, served fresh from the oven. While cakes, sausages and other hearty fare are on offer, this is a place where many come for just a cup of coffee or a casual drink. Ask to have a look at the guest book, itself a work of art, with entries including some illustrious names (including Elias Canetti, Andy Warhol, and Tony Blair). Back in the 1960s, the young John Irving enjoyed the atmosphere here, too, as you can see when reading The Hotel New Hampshire.
Dorotheergasse 6, Vienna, Vienna, A-1010, Austria01-512–8230Known For
- Buchteln, a baked sweet bun with a sweet filling
- Famous former guests
- Impressive art collection

7. Café Mozart
$$ | 1st District |The café, named after the monument to Mozart (now in the Burggarten) that once stood outside, is overrun with sightseers, but the waiters manage to remain calm even when customers run them ragged. Crystal chandeliers, a brass-and-oak interior, comfortable seating, and delicious food—the Tafelspitz is excellent—add to its popularity. With the Opera just behind the café, this is a fine place for an after-performance snack; be on the lookout for opera divas here for the same reason.
Albertinaplatz 2, Vienna, Vienna, A-1010, Austria01-24–100–200Known For
- Tafelspitz that locals love
- Fabulous decor
- Role in the classic movie The Third Man

In summer you can sit outside on one of the city's nicest terraces and enjoy the view of the Burggarten.
Albertinaplatz 1, Vienna, Vienna, A-1010, Austria01-532–9669Known For

9. Esterházykeller
$ | 1st District |The origins here go back to 1683, when this spot opened as one of the city's official Stadtheuriger (wine taverns), to provide Turk-fighting soldiers with wine before going off to battle. Below the Esterházy palace, the atmosphere is like that of a cozy cave, with the maze of rooms offering some of the best wines of any cellar in town, plus a typical Viennese menu noontime and evenings. Ordering seems back to front: food orders are taken at the counter, while a waiter comes to the table to take your order for drinks. The best choice for meat lovers is roast pork with dumplings and cabbage. The wine tavern is closed July and August, but the restaurant and garden are open all summer long.
Haarhof 1, Vienna, Vienna, A-1010, Austria01-533–3482Known For
- History as one of the city's official wine taverns
- Great wine list (duh)
- Meat-heavy food menu

10. Fabios
$$$$ | 1st District | MediterraneanThe easiest way for Viennese to experience sleek, suave, New York–style power dining—short of paying for a round-trip plane ticket—is to book a table at this Italian hot spot in the heart of Vienna. If they can, that is. Wait-listed weeks in advance, this modernist extravaganza has brought a touch of big-city glamour to Alt Wien, and everyone from foodies to fashionistas loves it. Seafood is so fresh it's flown in daily for the kitchen to prepare specialties, such as shrimp marinated in lemon and served on a bed of Tuscan beans, or roasted sea bass in a couscous salad of cucumber and avocado. For beef eaters, the chef prepares a special piquant sauce poured over a rib-eye steak.

11. Gösser Bierklinik
$ | 1st District |Dating back four centuries, this engaging old-world house sits in the heart of Old Vienna. It is one of the country's top addresses for beer connoisseurs and serves brews, both draft and bottled, Dunkeles (dark) and Helles (light), from the Gösser brewery in Styria. Of the four eating areas, many diners opt for the covered courtyard, where beer seems to taste better no matter the weather. Beyond the obligatory (but first-class) Wiener schnitzel with potato salad, another good choice is the Kas'nocken (pasta dumplings topped with melted Tyrolean mountain cheese).
Steindlgasse 4, Vienna, Vienna, A-1010, Austria01-533–7598Known For

- Authentically Austrian beer and cheese

12. Julius Meinl am Graben
$$$ | 1st District | AustrianA few doors down from the Hofburg Palace, Julius Meinl am Graben opened as a caterer to the Habsburgs in 1862 and has remained Vienna's most posh grocery store. On the first floor up is a cozy salon, all dark wood and deep-orange banquettes. The window tables have stunning views over the Kohlmarkt. Allow the excellent staff to guide you through the daily changing menu with their expertise and charm. Note: after 7 pm you enter via an outdoor elevator on Naglergasse.

13. Wrenkh Restaurant and Cooking Salon
$ | 1st District |Vienna's vegetarian pioneer extraordinaire Christian Wrenkh prefers teaching cooking classes to standing in the kitchen several times a week, but his two sons run the restaurant show: roughly two-thirds of the menu is vegetarian, with delightful dishes like wild-rice risotto with mushrooms, Greek fried rice with vegetables, or tofu, tomato, and basil tarts. The minimalist-style bistro, with mid-century modern decor that looks a tad like a modish hotel, offers affordable lunches and dinners. Their two- and three-course lunch menus for €11 and €12 on weekdays are fantastic value. Customers who sign up for the culinary classes (which includes cuisine from around the world and a dedicated gluten-free cooking session) can learn to cook Wrenkh's cuisine themselves.
