Café Ritter is on Mariahilfer Straße in the 6th district (Mariahilf). The owner describes it as the last surviving grand coffee house on this shopping street, and it is a popular location for film and advertising shoots. Harald Holzer GmbH has run the café since March 2010. This is the café in Mariahilf, not the café of the same name in Ottakring.
The café opened in 1867, initially at a different location in Mariahilf. According to the Wien Geschichte Wiki, it stayed there until 1887 and then moved into the newly built building on Mariahilfer Straße. Its regulars included Rudolf von Alt, Ludwig Anzengruber, Peter Rosegger and Friedrich Adler. Around 1920 the café was modernized for Isidor Strasser. The website attributes the furnishings, with some uncertainty, to Josef Zotti, a student of Josef Hoffmann. You can see neo-Rococo stucco ceilings and elements from the 1950s, and the entire interior is a listed historic monument. In 1938 the café was taken from the Strasser family under the Nazi "Aryanization" policy; the man who seized it was convicted in 1948.
The café serves breakfast and daily changing set menus, and recommends its beef goulash. The meat comes from the Schöny butcher shop. The menu is only available online as an undated image, so you will find the prices on site. Newspapers are available.
The café is open Monday to Saturday from 07:30 to 22:00, and on Sundays and public holidays from 09:00 to 21:00. You can reserve by phone; groups should register via the contact form. According to wien.info, there is piano music on Thursdays from 15:00 to 18:00.
