Café Schuh
An old Viennese-style café on Kaiser Wilhelm Promenade, known for apple strudel, quark strudel, Sachertorte and giant poppy-seed dumplings.
Located at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Promenade 9, on the route linking the town center with the Kötschachtal valley, the café is a classic rest stop on walks. Its interior keeps Viennese café-style wallpaper and textiles, which give it a nostalgic feel. The late owner was a Viennese pastry chef. The cake cabinet holds apple strudel, quark strudel and Sachertorte. For hot desserts, try the giant dumplings served with plum jam and poppy-seed butter, or the Kaiserschmarrn. Florentine almond biscuits are available to take away. About 10–15 EUR per person. Expect long waits at peak times, and cards are not accepted.
Opening hours
Daily, about 10:00–18:30
