Cafe Sacher

They say the Sachertort is the best chocolate cake in the world, since I like a good chocolate I couldn't resist trying it. The place where they serve this famous cake is the Café Sacher in Vienna's city center, next to the Albertina. To enter this prestigious cafeteria you have to check your coats (1 € each). Already at the table, they serve us the cake, which is a big piece of chocolate and cream. The cake is really good, made with good quality chocolate, but is quite rich and end up being a bit heavy, because it's fairly concentrated chocolate. The portion I think was € 4.80 in 2010, so it has surely gone up.

I had no idea that the chocolate cake I love so much is called "Sacher." I also never imagined that Vienna had invented it. These are the kinds of things you learn when you travel.
The son of the inventor founded the Hotel Sacher, still in existence today, and he began to sell "sachertorte" or chocolate cake. After the death of Eduard Sacher, his wife, Anna, continued managing the hotel.
A waiter sat in the hotel's cafe and tasted a tiny bit. A city as exquisite as Vienna deserves homage. And if you like what you eat, they have an adjacent shop where you can buy cakes to go. How dangerous!
