, Dachboden has big-top views
of Vienna's skyline from its decked terrace. Inside, the decor is retro -playful. Besides
Fritz cola and an array of wines, beers and specialty teas, there are tapas-style snacks in
case you get the munchies.
Café Prückel
(

;
01, Stubenring 24; 8.30am-10pm; ; Stubentor, 2 Stubentor)
Prückel's unique
mould is a little different from other Viennese cafes: instead of a sumptuous interior, it
features an intact 1950s design. Intimate booths, aloof waiters, strong coffee, diet-des-
troying cakes and Prückel's speciality, its delicious apple strudel, are all big attractions.
Live piano music tinkles across the room from 7pm to 10pm on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday.

Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian palm house, complete with high-arched ceil-
ings, glass walls and steel beams, Palmenhaus occupies one of the most attractive loca-
tions in Vienna. The crowd is generally well-to-do, but the ambience is relaxed and wel-
coming, making it ideal for a glass of wine or cup of coffee. The outdoor seating in sum-
mer is a must; it serves food (mains €16.80 to €27) and there are occasional club nights.
