What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Restaurant Café im Hof is celebrated for its idyllic courtyard setting, delicious traditional Austrian cuisine, and friendly service, making it a favorite for lunch and dinner. While many praise the warm hospitality and tempting dishes like schnitzel and tarts, some reviews mention potential communication barriers with staff due to limited English fluency and occasional unavailability of menu items.
"Delightful lunch experience. The courtyard is pleasant even on a hot day. The service was decent, but the food and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced. We loved the garlic bread."
Clinton Kurtz
"We popped in for drinks. The staff couldn’t communicate well in english. Ordering was quite painful. The worst part was that the waiter was always taking the menu away. We tried to order a few food items on the menu, but none were available"
Sergei Filin
"We had dinner there in October 2023 without booking in advance. Nonetheless we were warmly greeted and seated by a friendly lady who spoke good English, which was fortunate since we don't speak German. She served us for the evening and was very helpful in answering all our questions, even on a local liqueur that she did not stock.
We had zanderfilet and a schnitzel, drinks and a dessert. I remember the hospitality more than the food but suffice to say we enjoyed the food as well. The bill excluding the tip was 60 Euro.
The restaurant was tastefully decorated and is in a pleasant courtyard, where you could sit outside and enjoy your pre-meal drink, weather permitting. Highly recommended."

Two little-known nature spots not to miss are the Botanical Garden, which is open year-round and filled with alpine plants, and the art-filled rose garden accessible from Café im Hof off pedestrianised Maria-Theresien-Strasse.
Best schnitzel : Innsbruck
I just looked at the menus in the fine dining ones (because depending on the place they often change it) and I would recommend: Hotel Sailer, Cafe Sacher, Das Schindler, Cafe Central, Isser Wirt(but it is in Lans), (Cafe im Hof but right now they only have pork Schnitzel)

Das Restaurant Café im Hof versteckt sich ein wenig, denn der Name ist hier Programm. Vielleicht macht genau das diesen Ort auch so idyllisch. Denn in diesem Hinterhof der Maria-Theresien-Straße wirkt alles ein wenig so, als wäre es aus der Zeit gefallen.
