Beer Garden Vienna 1010 – Hidden Courtyard Restaurant at Schottenstift
Discover our hidden beer garden in the courtyard of Schottenstift – a green oasis in the heart of Vienna 1010. Shaded seating, Viennese cuisine and house-roasted coffee in a historic setting.
Beer Garden Vienna – A Green Oasis in the Heart of the First District
Hidden in the 1st district of Vienna lies a very special gem: the garden of Café Diglas at Schottenstift. Behind the historic walls of Schottenstift at Schottengasse 2, a tranquil inner courtyard opens up – a lush summer retreat far from the noise and bustle of Vienna's city center.
The Hidden Courtyard
What is barely visible from the outside surprises every visitor most pleasantly: a well-maintained inner courtyard garden with shady trees, historic stone walls and the unmistakable charm of a genuine Viennese coffee house. No other outdoor dining spot in Vienna offers this unique combination of history, nature and hospitality.
What Makes Us Special

And of course our in-house DORA coffee specialties – from a refreshing iced coffee to the classic Viennese Melange.
