Welcome to Turm Cafe, a truly unique gem located on the stunning Donauturm (Danube Tower) in Vienna, Austria. This revolving café, perched 170 meters above ground, offers an extraordinary dining experience that combines delightful cuisine with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the shimmering Danube River.

As you step inside Turm Cafe, you'll be welcomed into a spacious and chic atmosphere, where the large glass windows invite natural light and showcase the stunning landscapes that gradually change as you dine. The highlight of your visit is, of course, the café's slow rotation, which allows you to enjoy a full 360° view of Vienna without ever leaving your seat. Just imagine savoring a warm Viennese sausage or a slice of delectable apple strudel, all while witnessing the cityscape transform with every gentle turn of the café.

Guests rave about the delicious offerings available, from hearty traditional Viennese sausages to scrumptious pastries and beverages that cater to all tastes. The quality of the food and service consistently receives high marks from visitors, creating an inviting environment where both locals and tourists can unwind and relish in the moment. According to Cristian Ambrus, "The café is rotating slowly enough not to be scary and fast enough not to be boring" – truly capturing the magic of the experience.

However, it's essential to note that while the ambiance is enjoyable, several guests have mentioned the absence of air conditioning during warmer days, which can render the space a bit hot. Despite this minor drawback, the overall experience at Turm Cafe is overwhelmingly positive. Martin Kostov praised the cleanliness and delicious food as well as the unique _rotation_ that sets this café apart from any other in the area.

For families and groups, Kanishk Rastogi emphasizes the kid-friendly service and reasonable pricing, making it a great spot for enjoyable gatherings. Andreea Bolea described the intimate setting of the café, noting that the lovely view and ambiance more than make up for minor imperfections, such as the wear on some glasses. Meanwhile, Birgit Langer highlighted the exceptional quality of brunch served here, stating, "3 hours of very good quality breakfast, lunch and sweeties" – an indulgent experience not to be missed.

If you're in Vienna and looking for a mix of exquisite food, stellar service, and phenomenal views, Turm Cafe is the place to be. Experience Vienna from a new perspective and create lifelong memories as you sip your coffee or enjoy a meal in this remarkable revolving café!

First and foremost it is a rotating Café! Our main goal was to sit there and enjoy the rotating experience with the beautiful Danube and Wien (Vienna) view. Me and my partner surely got that!!!! The café is rotating slowly enough not to be scary and fast enough not to be boring. It was so cool to see the view change as we had our Viennese sausages, strudels and beers. In all honesty we didn't expect anything from the food or service. We didn't go there for that. We didn't care that much about it. Mr. Ali was our main waiter. He was kind, thoughtful, tongue-in-cheek funny, respectful and quick. He helped us choose the food and drinks. Me and my partner were looking for the Viennese experience in our few days in Wien (Vienna). And we got that even in this Tower, thanks to him. The sausage with kren (horse radish) and mustard was good. The apfelstrudel (apple strudel) was good. The Turm beer was good. Food and service were good. I will end the same way I started. Our goal was to have a snack/drink with a view. We had it. The food and service should be good enough not to spoil that experience. They were more than good enough! We even left a tip. And we left it on the POS device. (Another good thing about the Turm Café is that card payment was available. In Wien (Vienna) there were some restaurants and Cafés we really wanted to visit but we didn't want to withdraw money from the ATM, so we didn't visit them. So, this is another plus, we could pay by card!!!!)

The café is spacious and clean, with tasty food and drinks. The highlight is that the entire platform slowly rotates around the tower, so you can sit in one spot and enjoy a full 360° view of Vienna. What I didn’t like was the lack of air conditioning – it was extremely hot inside, like sitting in a greenhouse.

The views from the top are good and worth enjoying while sipping coffee or spirits at this revolving cafe. The food and service is good quality and the staff really tries their best to make your visit good and enjoyable. It is recommended only if you haven’t visited any similar location in the past. The food pricing is reasonable considering the location and the service is certainly kid friendly.

The cafe in the tower is very intimate. The tower restaurant, which revolves around its own axis and 170 - meter- high tower cafe, offers a 360-degree view of Vienna. In my opinion, it is the best cafe in the area. A small dissatisfaction was that the glasses were a bit worn, but overall, everything was wonderful!

Not only a great view 160 m above ground, but also the brunch at the café is really good. 3 hours of very good quality breakfast, lunch and sweeties with a really nice service and very comfortable atmosphere. It was a very warm day for autumn, so inside the cafe it was also quite hot as there a big glasses for the view. But really great all together and definitely worth it!
