Café-Restaurant zum Fürsten - enjoyment with history in the heart of Melk
In the middle of Melk's pedestrian zone, directly below the baroque abbey, you will find the Café-Restaurant zum Fürsten - a traditional establishment with roots dating back to the 16th century.
The cuisine offers a successful mix of regional specialties, Austrian home cooking and international classics. Freshly prepared pastries, homemade cakes and strudel and ice cream specialties from our own production form the sweet focus, accompanied by top-quality fair trade coffee. The ice cream recipes come from the first European ice cream school and stand for handcrafted quality and unmistakable taste. Hearty dishes such as seasonal delicacies, soups, meat and fish dishes as well as vegetarian options are also on the menu.
The café-restaurant invites you to linger with its elegantly furnished dining room, cozy niches and a lovingly designed inner courtyard. Here you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of the old town over coffee, wine or a regional beer, as well as a relaxing break in peaceful surroundings.
Thanks to its central location in the pedestrian zone, "Zum Fürsten" is ideal for a culinary break during a stroll through the town, before or after a visit to Melk Abbey or as a rest stop for cyclists on the Danube cycle path.
