A recent $500,000 government-sponsored renovation has brought new luster 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 who have patronized this 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. Since early 2008 an air-conditioned glass veranda has added contemporary flair to this venerable location.
