Cafe-Bistro Menagerie - Vienna

We ordered a cake and tea, the prices were ok, but the service was super rude, we asked for a second cup, because the water arrived on a separate piece which holds water for 4 cups, but the waiter told us in a very rude...manner that it's not possible We ordered chocolate cake which was ok

On a rainy day the inside cafe space wasn’t up to seating all the customers that were waiting. It was all a bit chaotic a pity as the tea and cakes were amongst the best we had. Tables were tiny and we had to...juggle our plates to get them on! Not the most relaxing experience at all. I imagine on a sunny day it’s much better.

The place was full and the staff at the entrance counter did their best to ignore us. A group of people then came in and walked straight in front of us. We embarrassedly said to them that we had been waiting for some time but...they took no notice and ran to fetch a table when it became available. We then asked one of the waiters and he said that there was no line and that it was ok for them to sit. We were taken aback by his patronising attitude especially as he had witnessed us waiting for some time and the other people jumping the queue. The food came through surprisingly fast and was good overall, but the experience had been ruined already.

Well if you visit Vienna in December one should expect it. Popped into the Menagerie Cafe in the Upper Belvedere to warm up and enjoy a hot soup. Beef consommé with strips of pancake hit the spot. Delicious. Could have done with a fork to...eat the pancake. Years ago this cafe was incredibly snooty and the food wasn't that good. Clearly there is a new regime in place as now it is just fine.
