Traditional Viennese folk songs or enchanting waltzes. A jovial "Heurige" wine tavern atmosphere or elegant dining. The Wiener Rathauskeller's halls and parlours are steeped in tradition, and their unique ambience makes the pleasure of dining out twice as enjoyable.

With the recently completed renovation of the Wiener Rathauskeller, we the Rathauskeller is continuing the tradition of high-quality Viennese hospitality. And to indulge the guests' taste buds, they tend to all culinary desires from small traditional Viennese delicacies to grand gala buffets.

Since its completion in 1883, Vienna's Rathaus, or City Hall, has been the headquarters of the city and provincial government. Architect Friedrich Schmidt designed the basement vault as a place for "food and drink".

In 1899, Rathauskeller was inaugurated by then Mayor of Vienna Dr. Karl Lueger with a toast to "His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty, Emperor Franz Josef I", and to this day it is known as the home of "good taste".
