Savoy Kafe

I went with a friend who livres next door. I ordered an oriental breakfast with potached eggs. The egg whites were completely uncooked and I asked them to cook them so that the white would be poached. They took out the eggs, friend them until the whole egg was cooked. I then asked them to just give me a separate set of potaches eggs (that is why I chose the dish) The server went to the kitchen and returned saying, they cannot poach eggs 🤪 ( the menus says “poached eggs). Fine, I ate the hard eggs. Little tip to the cook: The egg is cracked into a cup or bowl of any size, and then gently slid into a pan of water at approximately 62 °C (144 °F) and cooked until the egg white has mostly solidified, but the yolk remains soft. The ideal poached egg has a runny yolk, with a hardening crust and no raw white remaining. (Wikipedia) A tip to the servers: if something goes wrong, apologize and offer a discount. That said the place looks beautiful and if you don’t mind the noise from the other guests (using phones with loudspeakers on) or the background music a drink there should be fine.

We visited on a cold day at the end of March 2026. The place was very busy, but we got excellent service. Great coffee and delicious food from our servers. Highly recommend this place!

I love the vibes (I really do!) and the service, but the brunch was a massive let down. I'm sure there are better alternatives elsewhere.

We were at Cafe Savoy for the first time yesterday afternoon - it was one of our nicest afternoons we spent in Vienna - from a short squat, became a wonderful, convivial afternoon due to the cozy atmosphere, the lovely people, thanks here especially to Karin and the entire team - it was so great that we reserved a table again immediately for breakfast. The food was very delicious and we will definitely go back to Karin during our next stay in Vienna. Anyone who would like to sit in a cozy, cheerful round, we can highly recommend Cafe Savoy to him 😘 but reserves and see you yourself - Bussi and see you soon Sylvia and Daniel

Some places don’t need reinvention—they need preservation. Café Savoy is one of those rare institutions that understands exactly who it is and delivers that identity with quiet confidence. Dining here feels like stepping into Vienna’s grand café tradition, where time slows, conversations linger, and elegance is never rushed. The room itself sets the tone immediately: high ceilings, soft light, plush seating, and that unmistakable Old World atmosphere that Vienna does so well. It’s refined without being stiff, classic without feeling dusty. Locals read newspapers, couples linger over wine, and visitors take it all in with a kind of reverence. This is a place that invites you to settle in. The menu is a celebration of Austrian and Central European classics, executed with care and restraint. I started with a beautifully prepared beef tartare, finely chopped, well-seasoned, and served with all the traditional accompaniments—simple, confident, and deeply satisfying. For the main course, I couldn’t resist the Wiener Schnitzel, perfectly thin and golden, crisp without a trace of grease, served with classic potato salad that struck just the right balance of acidity and richness. This is comfort food elevated through precision rather than reinvention. Wine felt essential here, and rightly so. I chose a crisp Austrian white, bright and mineral, which paired effortlessly with the meal, followed later by a glass of elegant red that encouraged lingering just a little longer. The wine list is thoughtful and traditional, with excellent local representation and fair pricing—exactly what you’d want in a café of this stature. Service was polished and professional, with the calm assurance that comes from experience. Nothing rushed, nothing overlooked. Plates arrive when they should, glasses are quietly refilled, and you’re left to enjoy the moment. What makes Café Savoy special isn’t innovation—it’s consistency, atmosphere, and respect for tradition. It’s a reminder that some of the most memorable meals come not from surprise, but from things done exactly right. If you’re looking for a true Viennese café experience—one that feels authentic, elegant, and deeply rooted in the city’s culture—Café Savoy delivers beautifully. A place to return to, again and again.

Lovely staff and excellent apfel strudel! We stopped in on a chilly day for a coffee and a pastry and were not disappointed. All the staff from the hostess to the two waiters we interacted with were very accommodating and efficient. Will definitely return on our next trip to Vienna!

An overwhelming welcome by Karin, we felt at home - was just great. Then two days later booked an appointment, increased by two people at short notice with Ilse and that all worked out. Thank you both-- you're brilliant. Kind regards, Peter and Miryam

We were welcomed by Edgar very nice and smiling who advised us well Austrian specialties. There is a very good atmosphere.

It's nice to be back in Vienna. But a visit to our dear friend Bobby at the Café Savoy should not be missed. As always the breakfast very delicious the staff super friendly. Bobby we look forward to our next visit with you in December. Keep going like this the Café Savoy is simply recommended. Best regards Petra & Peter
