Weimar Cafe-Restaurant - Wien

In cozy, attentive service, ski garden on a tram street, good eating. a wiener institution. vis a vis the mak. footsteps the volksoper.

The caffe weimar, just a few steps from the wiener volksoper, still preserves the atmosphere of past days.There are few coffee houses in how where the k.u.k. time still seems alive. cozy sittings, in the evening a barpianist, with a warm kitchen in the old style. Certainly, some dishes are "in the years come" - where else you get but that's exactly what makes the charm of this coffee house. and the fact that in summer tourist time you are not overwhelmed by circular tourist horizons from all over the world, as is unfortunately the case with some other traditional coffee houses. you can spend a long and cozy breakfast here; take a substantial lunch; a short afternoon snack; or chat with friends after a small (or larger) dinner. you don't feel to pay and walk; the waiter keeps himself in the background, but is always ready to face the resurrected hunger or thirsty. brettspiele, playing cards, newspapers and magazine - everything that belongs to the classic wiener coffee house and if you have to go then you are not immediately bankrupt. all in all a very beautiful experience.

At our first (and at the same time surely last) visit in the "cafe weimar" we were looking forward to a cozy eating at two on Easter Monday. the typical ambiente for such traditional coffee houses and we love from other coffee house visits in Wien. the waiter responsible for us was equipped with typical Wienerisch/Böhmisch charme - we also like that. the two appetizers (here soup and matjesfilet) were still ok. for the main dish my wife and I decided to climb in the online menu at home. kalbseber baked and callbsleber glaciers ... one of our favorite foods ... from us already dozens of paints in various variants and local from medium to excellently fed. on the one hand we became a leber with moist and undefined panier with an overgreased and not even properly touched mayokartoffelgatsch and on the other hand a glacierd leber with sweeter roast sauce (probably a cheap finished product.) both were not really hot anymore. the quality of the meat was however the most disgusting, certainly not fresh but thawed, then possibly repeatedly warmed up and boiled to an almost browy resistance. after some bites we sent the food back. the waiter apologised several times, but remembered that he had just checked the feeds himself again (cooked)? and everything was as it had to be! repent with (played?) and shamed he had some neutralization. ps: how such a local 90 falstaff points reaches us a puzzle ...

Top service. friendly, cozy, good. from the same owner is also the caffe diglas on the scottish pen hard to recommend.

This Café was a Vienna institution and especially popular with patrons of the Volskoper, both before and after the show. It offered live piano and the pianist often picked up on the music of the show. Sometimes members of the cast would come in. There...was a good menu with an extensive choice of smaller plates for before or after the show. Now it is a disaster what would have been buzzing and warm is now largely empty, abandoned and cold, literally cold when I went in one evening and we were shivering (almost unheard of in a Vienna café they are usually overheated! The staff have little to do but are not exactly attentive laid back to the point of being laid out. The new owners have removed what decor made it gemütlich. There was no live piano on the last occasions I visited. The staff seem enthusiastic but unqualified. I was very surprised because Diglas has a good track record in vienna and I love some of their other cafés. But maybe they were too cocky did they do the market research? Is the decison to try to be more hip simply to remove what makes the café different from the dozens of (much cheaper bars and restaurants nearby? Is the Abend Menu really intended to demonstrate to the clients that they don 't actually want your custom? That they can 't be bothered to do anything much more than a toast or a sausage? There is just one compenastion. there was a time when you might struggle to get a table after a busy evening at the Volksoper. You will have no problem now.
