Brasserie Palmenhaus receives the Muvamo Award for its perfect harmony of historic charm, lush greenery, and refined Viennese dining. This greenhouse gem offers an unforgettable experience where nature, architecture, and culinary delights come together seamlessly.
From Royal Orangery to Vienna’s Iconic Brasserie
The Brasserie Palmenhaus has a fascinating past. Built in 1901 as part of the Hofburg Palace complex, the Palmenhaus was originally a greenhouse and orangery for the imperial court. Designed by Friedrich Ohmann, it features an elegant Art Nouveau style with a detailed iron framework and large glass windows.
After years of neglect in the 20th century, it was renovated in the 1990s and turned into a brasserie while keeping much of its original architecture. It is now a well-known spot in Vienna, combining historic design with modern dining.
Located in the Burggarten, once the private garden of Emperor Franz Joseph I, the Palmenhaus is surrounded by greenery, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Inside, a collection of exotic plants reflects its past as a greenhouse. Its mix of history, nature, and food makes it a popular place for both locals and visitors.
