Café Landtmann — Vienna’s storybook coffee house

I was early for my meeting with Ferdinand but this is one of those places that you’d happily kill 15 minutes time and time again. That is the very essence of a coffee house and it’s one of the first things that strikes you when you walk in. As I’d later have explained, the coffee house is a unique concept. The interiors are huge and airy, meticulously decorated and with tables adorned with white table clothes and laid to convey that sense of intense luxury. All the staff are dressed in suits and the customer is put at the centre of everything. Despite that though, the feeling is relaxed and there are just as many people here sitting with a coffee reading the newspaper as there are large groups celebrating momentous occasions. That mix, together with the true mélange of people from all across the social spectrum, breeds a welcoming atmosphere different to any other kind of eatery. <a href="https://olihallwrites.medium.com/caf%C3%A9-landtmann-viennas-storybook-coffee-house-63f1920c8524">Learn More</a>
