Cafe Katja - New York

Disappointed in the brunch that we had here. The red cabbage salad was very tasty with a lovely tang and texture, but the goulash was a bit tough and didn't have the appropriate depth of flavor. The staff was very kind and nice!

Cafe Katja is a unique jewel in the NYC restaurant crown. ? This eatery specializes in Austrian cuisine and completes the menu with authentic drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Chef and host Erwin Schröttner is both welcoming and gracious, and infuses the passion and pride of his Austrian ?? heritage into his cooking. The vibe is casual here at Cafe Katja. This neighborhood is lively, young, and pedestrian friendly. Outdoor dining is available. Indoor dining is set amidst brick-lined walls. And I highly recommend the schnitzel!

Austrian food, the delightful blend of traditional flavors. Love the smooth and creamy Liverwurst!”

4. Came here for a quick drink and snack before dinner. The menu looks great and would have loved to stay and eat some more of the European classics.The atmosphere was nice- we sat outside, but it was a Saturday night and the place was pretty empty which was weird- perhaps it draws a later crowd.The beer list was good and the pretzel was great. It came with butter and what they said was cheese (didn’t taste like cheese- more like cheesy butter? and Dijon!It’s in a great neighbourhood with lots of other bars and restaurants nearby- great for a quick drink.There are steps to get inside.

While in Manhattan, I had a taste for German food, and my friend who lived there recommended Cafe Katja. What an excellent experience. The atmosphere was really nice (although slightly loud on a crowded weekend evening, but to be expected . The beer selection (Hofbrau, Spaten, etc. was right up my alley. And the food was excellent. I went with the Goulash with absolutely no regrets. Our entire party loved it. I promptly returned on my next visit to the area, and plan to return again. Recommend.
