history

The Diglas family has been part of the Viennese gastronomy landscape since 1875. Hans Diglas II led some businesses, including a restaurant in the Türkenschanzpark whose first guest Emperor I Franz Joseph was. The sons of the enterprising restaurateur, Franz and Hans Diglas, also ran various restaurants in Vienna after a long stay in the United States . These included the Casino Zögernitz, the restoration on Maurer Hauptplatz, the Tabarin in Annagasse, or the restoration in the Gänsehäuflbad.

Casino Zögernitz was the family seat for many years. The Zögernitz Casino, built in 1837, was home to the Hans and Franz Diglas coffee house , where Johann Strauss father and son used to hang out in the garden on weekends. There was a splendid ballroom in the Zögernitz . There was an open-air cinema here at the turn of the century. It was a popular destination for the Viennese, before the Zögernitz was the end of the horse-drawn tram.

In 1923 the pair of brothers founded the Café Diglas in house Wollzeile 10. This is where the Café Royal was located at the turn of the century and then Piccadilly . The guests of the Café Diglas included numerous artists and politicians, including Franz Lehár , Karl Farkas , Heimito von Doderer and the young OW Fischer . After a redesign in the 1950s, the Diglas became a little quieter . After Hans Diglas III ran the business with a full license as a café-restaurant in 1964, his son Hans Diglas IV had the restaurant renovated in 1988 in order to restore it to its original appearance as a classic Viennese coffee house.

Since 1999, the family Diglas performs a branch at the nearby meat market , cafe Diglas among regulars "Little Diglas" called the patisserie the parent company in the wool line with pastries supplied.
