Viennese Classic · Since 1824
Café Frauenhuber
Vienna, Austria · Historic Café
The story
Café Frauenhuber opened in 1824 in premises already associated with Viennese musical life. Mozart and Beethoven performed in an earlier restaurant at this address, while today’s café preserves the upholstered seating, chandeliers and measured rhythm of the classic Viennese coffeehouse.
Why Café Frauenhuber is iconic
A particularly intimate link between Vienna’s coffeehouse tradition and its musical past, preserved without becoming a museum piece.
