Café Mozart
If you consider its former name Gerlich’sches und Erich’sches Kaffeehaus, Café Mozart in the Getreidegasse is considered one of the oldest cafés in Salzburg. Always appreciated by artists as a place for literary performances, the traditional premise still hosts "Literature at Café Mozart" several times a year.
The traditional Café Mozart is located in the middle of Salzburg's most famous shopping street, the Getreidegasse. The coffee house on the bel étage offers an extensive menu with a large breakfast selection, various coffee specialities, Austrian desserts and savoury dishes of the day.
Café Mozart was given its name in 1922, however, the history of the coffee house goes back much further. Until the 1930s, the café was a popular meeting place for writers and musicians, and later became home to the legendary Mozart Chess Club. From the 1970s onwards, the Mozart was once again a lively performance venue for literature and cabaret with celebrity guests. After an inglorious hiatus as a clothing shop, the old-school coffee house culture at the Mozart was revived in 2006.
