1. Restaurant Sirk at the Hotel Bristol on the Kartner Ring a block away from the opera house has a lovely lunch buffet for 33 Euros on Sunday. I remember their roast goose with cabbage and a great cheese strudel.
2. Demel
3. Hotel Sacher
4. Schnitzelwirt on Neubagasse - a cheerful restaurant that's very much into schnitzels. Delicious and affordable.
5. Cantinetta Antinori near St. Stephen's cathedral - if you feel a craving for Italian food during your trip.

I second Demel's. It has incredible pastries and cakes.

i also second (third?) demel (they have one in nyc but i havent been so i don't know how it compares). i'm pretty sure i had dobos torte when i was there (yes i know its hungarian, not viennese but its so good!)
and like @ortalan said, hotel sacher (for the original sacher torte, what else?!)
other than that, please eat some good wiener schnitzel!

The Demel in New York City is wonderful, btw. It's only flaws are (1) they don't serve savory food -- the Vienna branch has a small savory menu of sandwiches, salads and plats du jour if I remember correctly, and (2) it closes by 6 or 7 most days.
I haven't been in a few months, but for me, it's the most pleasant cafe in midtown. At both the NY and Vienna branches, don't bother with the overpriced chocolate bars, jam or cookies in the gift section which have great packaging but aren't must-haves, just go for the cakes.
KDJmom, if you want to bring back food souvenirs, the place to go is Julius Meinl, a gourmet grocery store, on Graben, inside the ring. It's fun to browse in there. They also have a good section of Austrian wines.

Boo Hoo Mom's birth place, please if anything go to Hotel Sacher.
