2. Café Hawelka

One of the few coffee houses to make its name after WWII, Hawelka became the meeting place for the post-war literati, many of whom were returning from exile. Through the '60s and '70s it also became popular with artists, actors and musicians, including Hunderdwasser, Helmut Qualtinger, Oskar Werner and André Heller. Much of its popularity is attributable to its owners, Leopold and Josefine Hawelka. Hr Hawelka still greets his guests, and, although Fr Hawelka died in 2005 aged 91, her legendary "Buchteln" – Bohemian pastries – are still made to her secret recipe by Josefine's son, and served late in the evening.   (© 10Best)
