Kunsthistorisches Museum + Cafe questions

Hi! We will be in Vienna this May. We plan to have lunch at the cafe in the Kunsthistorisches Museum and then visit the museum. The cafe kitchen is open 11am - 4:30pm but on-line reservations can only be booked 10am - 11:45am. How do I book at 1pm time slot? I have read the wait sometimes can be long. There are four of us so we'd rather have reservations if possible.

Also, we plan to book tickets now for the museum. I understand the audio guide is worthwhile but I don't see an option to add-on the audio guide to the ticket purchase. Perhaps the audio guide is purchased and downloaded via phone at the museum?

Thank you in advance! I greatly appreciate the knowledgeable and generous contributors on this site. It's been so helpful in planning this trip as well as our past trip.

I am encountering the same issue. I just booked the tickets at the Kunsthistorisches Museum for May 23 at 12:30pm but not able to book lunch. :(

KHM's café has reservations only for morning coffee (breakfast on weekends) or dinner.

What you can do is getting a reservation for the last morning coffee time slot (11:45am) and just stay for lunch.

We just did this. I booked an 11:45 slot and bypassed all the people waiting on line who did not have reservations. It worked out perfectly. Not huge options but a lovely location for a simple meal.
