The restaurant is located in an apartment building built in 1880 by Fellner & Helmer , the well-known theater architects, for the Viennese city councilor Carl Schuh , which initially also housed the Schuhs furniture and upholstery business. In 1898 Schuh retired and in 1900 a Viennese coffee house was built on the ground floor, which was first called "Cafe Orleans". Probably for reasons of war patriotism, it was renamed “Cafe Weimar”.

In front of the building there is a so-called bishop's staff, a replica of one of the popular, elegant Art Nouveau candelabras , which were once an essential design element of Schwarzenbergplatz in Vienna .
