Cafés & restaurants around Schönbrunn Palace

Vienna offers visitors not only unique architectural and cultural experiences, but also an enormous variety of culinary delights, from local cuisine to international gastronomy.

The Austrian capital is internationally renowned for its culinary tradition, the Viennese cuisine.

Around the Schönbrunn Palace, you can find many cafes and restaurants where you can try the best Viennese and international specialities, which you shouldn’t miss.

The crowning glory of a visit to imperial Schönbrunn Palace is sitting down in a cosy corner of Café Residenz. Here you can taste all the typical dishes of the Viennese cuisine, such as Emperor Franz Joseph’s favourite dish Tafelspitz or the classic Wiener Schnitzel.

The café was opened in 1998 by the Querfeld family, who has also managed Café Landtmann since 1873. A major focus in its design were traditions of Viennese coffeehouse culture. You can enjoy this immaterial cultural heritage, as which the Vienna coffeehouse culture has been recognised, in the stunning surroundings under elegant chandeliers.

The former royal bakery attached to Café Residenz offers an unforgettable Viennese highlight the original Vienna apple strudel show!

Our recommendation: Have you always wanted to see how the real apple strudel is made? The original apple strudel show in the former royal bakery of Café Residenz in Schönbrunn Palace is a must-see for fans of apple strudel, people with a sweet tooth and anyone who is curious.

Free admission to the apple strudel show with the Vienna PASS!
