¢-$, Cafe, 1st District
Fodor's Review:
A recent $500,000 government-sponsored renovation has brought new lustre to the chandeliers of Landtmann, a century-old favorite of politicians, theater stars (the Burg is next door), and celeb-watchers. Sigmund Freud, Burt Lancaster, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Sir Paul McCartney are just a few of the famous folk who have patronized this vaguely Secession-ish-looking café, whose glass-and-brass doors have been open since 1873. If you want a great meal at almost any time of the day, there are few places that can beat this one. If you just want coffee and cake, then choose the right-hand seating area (just beyond the door). But if it is bustle and star-sightings, head for the elongated salon that runs parallel with the Ring avenue, just opposite the main university building. At night lots of theatergoers turn up after the Burg has turned out.
