I've been told that Demel's owner bought the recipe to the infamous Sacher Torte from its creator and to this day, people are still debating who has the "real" Sacher Torte. Whichever it is, the pastries here are super yummy! The cafe is located in the prestigious shopping area, surrounded by luxury boutiques such as Louis Vuitton & Gucci.

The restaurant still maintains its original interior design which is quite lovely. I can sit here and enjoy a hot beverage & sweet pastry and imagine myself being back in the old days. The cafe is always packed with Viennese & visitors alike so be patient if you can't get a seat. When the weather is warm, it's great to sit outside and enjoy the weather.

The other attractions are the "Bill Clinton" and "Kofi Annan" cakes on display behind a glass wall in the kitchen area.

OPENING HOURS
daily from 10.00 am – 7.00 pm

Favorite Dish: The pastries are the best, and of course the hot drinks like the hot chocolate. The freshly made chocolates are fantastic as well

Address: Kohlmarkt 14, Vienna, Austria
Comparison: about average
Directions: Take the U-Bahn U1 or U3 to Stephansplatz and walk past the "Plague" monument. Demel is in the building at the end of the street
