Since: 1897
From outside cafe Savoy, there’s no chance you can realise what lives inside this 18th-century building. When the café decided they wanted an imperial theme in 1896, their architect, Franz von Neumann, definitely replied with `Say no more.’
The coffeehouse welcomes all who walk through its doors with bright and heavy chandeliers and walls and walls of majestic mirrors.
On their menu, you can find the typical Verlängerter and Melange, but also fancy liquor and rum-infused hot beverages, like the classic Viennese Pharisäer and Maria Theresia Kaffee.
These days, while it welcomes all kinds of people, it’s a popular amongst the city’s LGBTQ+ community.
Throwback fact: before being renamed, Cafè Savoy was originally called ‘Cafè Wienzeile’, due to its location on Vienna’s left river bank incidentally a hub for popular Viennese gay bars
