This café is located next to the botanical garden's pond. They offer a rather small menu of local dishes, drinks and ice cream. A perfect place to relax during, or after, walking through the botanical garden.

Ein absoluter Traum. Wunderschöner Blick aufs Wasser mitten im Garten. Schnelles freundliches Personal und die beste Pasta die wir seit langem gegessen haben. Liebste Grüße an unsere zauberhafte Kellnerin Petra!

Schönes Café in wundervollem Ambiente! Der Service ist freundlich und aufmerksam, auch wenn es voller ist. Wir hatten Spaghetti Bolognese (dazu wurden Brötchen gereicht) und Joghurteis mit frisch pürierten Pfirsichen, frisch gepressten Orangensaft und Kaffee. Alles war super! Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auch. Wir können das Café sehr empfehlen.

Beautiful location for a cake with coffee! :-) Good taste of the Sacher Torte, although not exactly the original recipe from Austria.
