Since its opening in February 1899, the Wiener Rathauskeller has not only been a place for first-class Viennese cuisine, but also a synonym for convivial gatherings and unforgettable events.

The 125th anniversary of the Wiener Rathauskeller is not only a celebration of its existence, but also a tribute to the tradition, quality and innovation that have made this place an indispensable part of Viennese culture.

Celebrate and enjoy in the heart of Vienna

In the heart of the city of Vienna, in the basement of Vienna City Hall, enjoyment and culture come together in a unique way. Whether traditional Austrian dishes, innovative events such as the "Kriminal Dinner", the "Austrian Dinner Show", comedy dinners or dance and music events - the Rathauskeller has something to suit every taste and occasion. Every year, it welcomes around 1.2 million Viennese and tourists who enjoy the atmosphere and culinary delights of this historic location.

Tradition meets sustainability

Since its opening in 1899, the Wiener Rathauskeller has undergone continuous development. In addition to maintaining tradition, the focus is also on sustainability. The Rathauskeller was awarded the Austrian Ecolabel back in 2003 and has been actively committed to environmental protection and sustainability ever since.

Certified quality takes centre stage on the menu at Wiener Rathauskeller. As a "Naturally good food" establishment, the Rathauskeller makes an active contribution to the environment and animal welfare. The dishes embody naturalness, down-to-earthness, authenticity and regionality. Traditional Viennese dishes are combined with modern variations and showcase the diversity of Viennese cuisine.

However, the Wiener Rathauskeller is not just a restaurant, but also a unique event location in the heart of Vienna. The Rathauskeller is a versatile event location for over 1,900 events per year. From small private parties, weddings and seminars to large company celebrations and gala dinners for up to 3,700 guests, the Rathauskeller offers the right ambience for every occasion.
