Strudel and Sachertorte

Coffee however is just the beginning with a delectable variety of authentic Austrian strudel, pastries and cakes available, the least of which is the famous ‘sachertorte’ chocolate cake.

Schnaps

One thing the Austrians take very seriously is their schnaps. Liquors are distilled from almost anything the Austrians can get their hands on to produce a myriad of tastes from the sweet and creamy to the herbal and bitter.
