Café Brioni

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Café Brioni was a traditional Viennese coffee house in the 9th Viennese district of Alsergrund on Julius Tandler-Platz. 1

The Cafe Brioni around 1900

Café Brioni opened in 1917 and has been run as a family business for several generations. It was frequented by actors such as Hans Albers , Annemarie Düringer or Viennese greats such as Maxi Böhm and Helmut Qualtinger , who have also been immortalized in the guest book. Even Friedrich gate mountain was among the guests.

The restaurant was characterized by the “plush atmosphere” that was cherished and cared for to the last. The furnishings were partly made by Hoffmann and Adolf Loos . Viennese flair was demonstrated with its ornate mirrors, cherry wood furniture, black marble tables, waiters in tuxedos and the service on a silver platter with the obligatory glass of water. The offer included traditional Viennese specialties and from 1980 also local and international dishes. Café Brioni closed in 1996 due to a lack of profits. In the rooms of the Café Brioni there were later, one after the other, what the residents called a “player's hut” , an Italian restaurant and an ice cream parlor. Since 2010 there has been a restaurant again in the premises of the former Café Brioni.

Café Brioni was Heimito von Doderer's regular café and “favorite café” . Doderer was a frequent and regular guest here and wrote here occasionally. Café Brioni is one of the settings in Doderer's novel Die Strudlhofstiege . Parts of the novel Die Strudlhofstiege were created in Café Brioni.
