Altmann & Kühne

4.6 ·

Altmann & Kühne is a Viennese chocolatier and confectionery house founded in 1928, renowned for its handcrafted pralines and miniature chocolate specialties. Established by Emil Altmann and Ernst Kühne, the brand quickly became one of Vienna’s most prestigious destinations for fine confectionery, with its historic boutique located on Graben in the city center.

It is especially recognized for its signature Liliputkonfekt, bite-sized pralines presented in distinctive decorative boxes that have become part of the brand’s identity. Packaging plays a central role in Altmann & Kühne’s appeal, combining Viennese elegance, meticulous design, and the tradition of luxury gifting.

The boutique has preserved its historic atmosphere, making it one of Vienna’s authentic gourmet landmarks. Its assortment includes pralines, chocolate specialties, confectionery treats, and seasonal gift collections.

The brand stands out for its miniature product format, artisanal craftsmanship, and exceptional attention to detail in both flavor and presentation. Rather than being a mass-market confectionery producer, Altmann & Kühne remains a specialized chocolate house deeply rooted in Viennese tradition and refined confectionery culture.

Today, its products are available through its historic Vienna boutique and official online shop.
