Café Landtmann is on Universitätsring next to the Burgtheater. It belongs to the Querfeld family, now running it in the third generation. From the Schanigarten (outdoor seating) you look out onto the Burgtheater and City Hall (Rathaus), and there is a planted terrace facing the Ringstrasse (the Ring).
Franz Landtmann opened the café on October 1, 1873. In 1929 the architect Ernst Meller redesigned the rooms; this interior survives and is a listed historic monument. In the mid-1970s the café was due to become a bank branch. Herbert and Anita Querfeld prevented this with the support of Helmut Zilk, and a full renovation followed in 1982. Among its guests the house lists Sigmund Freud, Thomas Mann, Gustav Mahler, Romy Schneider, Bruno Kreisky and Paul McCartney.
