Your Hosts Werner & Martina Horvath

The story of Cafe Old Vienna began in 1997 when Werner Horvath’s Aunt & Uncle opened their doors to the public in Myrtle Beach.  This cozy little cafe with its elegant decor, largely done in burgundy red, and 100 year old light grain wood, truly takes you back to old world Vienna.  The business opened in 1997 and over the next few years a strong local’s oriented customer base began being established.  Serving only breakfast and lunch, the quaint little cafe catered mostly to locals and maintains its regular customer base to this day.  In 2001 Werner and his wife Martina took full control over the restaurant.  Werner was raised in the family business, a hotel called Foerenhof  www.foehrenhof.co.at located in a small town near Hartberg, Austria

Both Werner & Martina attended Culinary / Hospitality School were they attained a wealth of knowledge in the food service industry. From school they moved on to work in several world famous hotels &  resorts located throughout Austria.  Some of these include: the Steigenberger Hotel in Bad Tatzmamannsdorf now the www.reitersburgenlandresort.at/, the Trofana Royal www.trofana.at  in Ischgl (Tyrolian Alps, a wonderful ski resort in Austria) and the Island Mainau in Lake Constance Germany www.mainau.de . After years of hard work in Austria and Germany, Werner and Martina got the opportunity to move to the United States and run Cafe Old Vienna.

Now year’s later Cafe  Old Vienna has been serving authentic Austrian-German & European cuisine for many years.  A wonderful dinner menu was added in 2002 to replace the previous breakfast menu.  Cafe Old Vienna is truly a wonderful and authentic experience.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
