What people say

Laura Dehelean
"Try Sacher cake. This cake is one of the most important symbols of Austria. The recipe for this dessert is seemingly simple: chocolate biscuit, apricot confit and chocolate icing, but it tastes incredible! There are many cake shops and coffee houses in Austria where you can try and then definitely buy one. But only at Sacher and Demel, two famous Viennese cafés, is it made to a closely guarded old recipe. "
"8 PM - Get dessert here or check it out as a snack during the day. There are long lines, but you can make reservations online. This place is known for the Sacher-Torte (chocolate cake). The chocolate top was yummy, but the cake itself was kind of dry. It's a popular tourist spot, but overhyped. The ambiance is nice inside "

"The Sachertorte is a cake invented by Franz Sacher in 1832 for Prince Metternich. It is one of the most famous Viennese culinary specialties. The torte is made of chocolate and puréed apricot jam. The best place to enjoy the original torte is at Sacher Hotel located next to the Opera House."

Mentioned in these guides

The ‘City of Dreams’ - Vienna - is the capital of Austria, famous for its Imperial history and architecture, profound musical heritage, vibrant art scene and irresistible aromas wafting from traditional coffee houses. Otherwise - a very neat and tidy city, systematically organized in all its urban details, with righteousness reigning all over. It gives an elitist vibe that not many other cities could compete with! Highlights: 🎼 Mozart and Beethoven, some of the biggest composers in the world. Wolfgang Mozart: born in 1756 in Salzburg, moved to Vienna aged 25. Many landmarks in Vienna are dedicated to him, including Mozarthaus Vienna (a museum that was formerly his residence) and the Operahouse (which exhibits his works). Ludwig van Beethoven: born in 1770 in Germany, he spent the majority of his life in Vienna, where he lived. He was a composer and pianist who was famous despite the adversity in his life, namely losing his hearing at 28 and eventually becoming entirely deaf. Nonetheless, he continued to write influential music. 🍲 Wiener schnitzel - Austria’s national dish, known as Viennese schnitzel, is always veal as opposed to regular schnitzel (pounded flat, coated in breadcrumbs and fried). Often, it is served with fried eggs, a potato salad, or a green salad. 🫔 Apple Strudel - The oldest recipe for apple strudel is available at the Vienna Town Hall Library, written in 1697. As a result, the iconic dish remains one of the most celebrated desserts that Vienna is famous for offering, especially in coffeehouses. The pastry is filled with a sweet apple filling and traditionally has intricately woven designs. 🍬 Mozartkugel - is the nation's most crucial dessert. Mozartkugel (as the name translates) are traditionally made from marzipan balls covered in chocolate icing and wrapped by hand. 🥃 Schnapps - in Austria it is what Vodka is to Russia, and especially for those who love a good drink, look no further than a bottle of Austrian schnapps. A distilled spirit made by fermenting freshly picked fruit, it is easy to drink, and has the profile of a light-flavoured vodka.
