Café Restaurant Residenz is a classical Viennese coffee house which is located in the eastern wing of Schloss Schönbrunn in the 13th Viennese district.
During the emperor’s time, the rooms of the café were more of a “police kitchen”. The place was used to provide the guards of Schloss Schönbrunn with food. In 1948, the guards were granted permission to use the place as a restaurant; it was leased several times later on.
The café has been run by the Querfeld family since 1998. Its name, “Café Restaurant Residenz”, refers to emperor Franz Joseph I, who declared Schloss Schönbrunn his main residence. [1]
