Unique Factor: Café Europa feels like a second living room to many of Vienna’s locals, with its doors (almost) always open. This Viennese institution has been around for 33 years and has always been welcoming to all kinds of people, which is why you might end up sitting between a business man in a suit and a dreadlocked punk. It has somehow managed to stand the test of time, without losing an ounce of its cool. So it looks retro, because it is retro.
The place has a look of its own – a dark turquoise and yellow colour scheme, sweeping bars, eccentric and eclectic lighting, and scattered marble tables surrounded by handsome chairs … and people.
Nabbing a table in the enclaves in front of the huge windows facing the street, you’ll feel like you’re on display in a zoo for the city’s ‘insider crowd,’ the crowd that know that the Café Europa’s dedicated diehard’s drink is Averna with ice and lemon.
Café Europa’s roots ensure that it stands alone, untouched in another league, as trends come and go.
