Waterside Cafés in Austria
Steirereck stands for pure excellence. No wonder, then, that the establishment was once again voted the best restaurant in the city. The exclusive, luxurious breakfast at the Meierei is equally impressive. Exquisite ingredients, handled with perfection, from ostrich egg dishes to Beuscherl (offal ragout).
Legendary and unique: the traditional café on the quay has been a living room for generations. Hostess Evelyn Brandstätter and her team serve coffee on the sun terrace or indoors in the classic coffee house ambience. A must in summer: the apricot dumplings.
Since 2007, the family business has stood for quality, dedication and sustainability – for the latter, it has received an award. The green coffee beans are gently roasted by owner and barista master Cem Korkmaz. The result: wonderfully fragrant coffee creations.
The motto is now an urban trend - an island of relaxation in the middle of the city, with a large sun deck and unique, maritime flair. The menu offers breakfast highlights, healthy bistro dishes and homemade desserts. Ship ahoy!
Well, boom. In the past, cannon barrels were produced in the hall, today it's the pastries and breakfast selection that provide taste explosions on the palate. Groups of three like to order the "Mehrsamkeit breakfast". More is not possible.
No ordinary canteen! Here, creativity and skill transform the best ingredients into delicious dishes. Regional suppliers, organic produce and minimal use of plastic underline the commitment to quality and sustainability.
A "Latte Marille" (Meinl espresso with apricot cream liqueur) is brewed as a tribute to the Wachau region, which can be enjoyed right at the foot of the garden. The breakfast options at this popular meeting point, which has a southern flair, are unmissable.
The stylish location offers plenty of space for dreaming: on the jetty, the lake is within reach; on the second floor, the view sweeps far beyond the shore. For an extended vacation feeling, you go straight from afternoon coffee to dinner and drinks.
One of the most beautiful destinations in Gmunden. First buy a delicious ice cream at Baumgartner's and then stroll along Lake Traunsee on the esplanade. Pastry connoisseurs, however, linger longer at the pastry shop, enjoying lake views and succulent Gmundner Torte.
The beans are roasted by hand and particularly carefully - the result is velvety coffee specialties with a wide variety of aromas. On Saturday, there is an extensive brunch: salmon, beef tartare and veal with tuna sauce are just a few of the fixed starters.
An X can stand for many things. Lovers send it to each other as a symbol for a kiss. Or they use it to mark their favourite ingredients on the breakfast menu - and it's easy to fall in love with it: an X for a poached egg, date cream or an aphrodisiac turmeric shot.
Directly on the lake, you could almost forget about the culinary delights over the magnificent view of Loser and Trisselwand - but only almost. Because fluffy fruit cakes like from grandma's bakery accompany the coffee, and also the Salzkammergut cuisine with lots of fresh catch is worthwhile.
The small café scores with an extremely casual and relaxed atmosphere, good music and the particularly fine Hausbrandt coffee. The breakfast and the small snacks for in between also taste good - as do the sweet treats from Gugelhupf to croissant.
Those who make a tour around the Hochschwab will get the necessary energy here in the form of breakfast, pastries and, of course, the wide variety of homemade pies and cakes from the bakery. Coffee also tastes particularly good in the homely setting.
The place on the Danube, where the sun shines especially long and bathes the terrace in warm light, is already something special. But breakfast and omelettes are also good. Brunch is available until 1 pm. Perfect for reading one of the many daily newspapers.
It's no coincidence that Markus Madar's web address is Kaffeehaustradition.at - in Loosdorf, Melk and Krems, the restaurateur upholds the communicative old Viennese style. Ethiopian highland coffee from his own roasting provides the basis for the cup specialties.
A summer breakfast oasis in the countryside, almost like you're on holiday. The selection of brunch plates from all over the world is diverse and of top quality. If you can, you should extend your breakfast, stay until the evening and enjoy the sunset.
Probably the most beautiful spot for the sunset is also perfect to start the day. The modern café in Bregenz harbour makes it possible. In the tidy park overlooking Lake Constance, you can enjoy breakfast, coffee, drinks, snacks and spirits.
Barbara Braun successfully continues the traditional family business with modern ideas and breathes new life into it. The selection is unbeatable, the coffee top and the famous Schaumrollen are an absolute must. You must visit the shop!
The name wake_up has a double meaning: in addition to the excellent breakfast, it also refers to the great location directly on the New Danube, where you can watch the wakeboarders during the day. The location is also conveniently accessible by subway.
