In the warmer months, our shaded outdoor seating is perfect for relaxing. Located right by St. Stephen’s Cathedral and only 5 minutes from the Vienna State Opera, Vollpension Johannesgasse is a must-visit for both locals and tourists.

We are a modern reinterpretation of the traditional Viennese café, not a classic social project, but a social business committed to creating social impact and combating senior poverty and isolation.
