The Kleine Café is a restaurant in Vienna's 1st district, Innere Stadt, at Franziskanerplatz 3, which was designed by Hermann Czech in the 1970s .

The restaurant has two levels, each with an entrance. In summer, the space in front of the restaurant is also used. It was one of the first restaurants that Hermann Czech designed in Vienna. He worked on it in four stages: 1970 on the lower part; 1973–74 on the then newly added upper part; In 1977 he had gravestones pointing downwards with the inscription in the floor of the lower local part, with which he reacted to a proposal from Karl Prantl at the time to pave the Stephansplatz with discarded gravestones; and in 1985 the toilets were added.

The owner is the Austrian actor Hanno Pöschl , who u. a. starred in the film Before Sunrise (1995) and one of the locations was the Little Café .
