Leipzig


Leipzig goes cosmopolitan at this elegantly high-ceilinged cafe with curved booths and wooden tables, a bilingual menu and a stack of international mags and dailies. It's a popular breakfast spot, available until a hangover-friendly 3pm. The menu is heavy on Austrian classics, and the omelette is simply fantastic.
