Our History
The building on the corner of Gregorygasse with the Friederika Hall on Breitenfurterstraße was built in 1895 by the Kubetz family. The Franz Kubetz Inn and the Friederika Hall served as a venue for dancing, entertainment, and various festivities.
The inn also functioned as a tavern for vegetable farmers who had to pay taxes on their goods at the city gate before entering Vienna. On their way back, the farmers would stop at the courtyard with their horse-drawn carts to feed their animals with hay and have a drink or two themselves.
Over time, until 1938, the building changed ownership several times and housed, among other things, a margarine production company. After 1945, a German feed company (Chemocidan) took over the building as a tenant and installed mixing equipment on massive concrete foundations in the hall, where animal feed for all of Austria was processed and packaged.
In the early 1980s, the heir of these buildings, Mr. Vogel from Amstetten, leased the property to the Hannak family, who used it as a tire warehouse. At the end of the 1980s, Hannak acquired the buildings and began a comprehensive renovation in 2012 to restore their original purpose.
After completion in 2015, all the necessary permits were obtained, and since June 2022, the building has been leased to the Kumar family. Since then, they have successfully served their guests with culinary delights and offered catering and events.

During this search, the team discovered the magnificent Palais-Restaurant in Liesing.
