Cafe Pruckel

Editor's review

Solemn-looking waiters sport classic bow-tie garb at this expansive cafe on the Ring. Still, in spite of a few old school traits, Pruckel is not one of the stiffest stars in the Viennese firmament. The much-loved cafe attracts a vaguely arty clientele who look like they're pondering some conceptual conundrum. Suave crooner Bryan Ferry would fit in here like a fish in water. The cool 50's decor comes as a refreshing change after all the turn of the century nostalgia. Order up your melange and affect an air of nonchalant aloofness.
