Hotel Sacher (Vienna: Opera House)

By in Vienna

The next day we went to try the original Sachertorte from Hotel Sacher. The restaurant was full, so we went to their cafe side which supposed to have the same menu. The boutique + restaurant + cafe + bar combine area is bigger than Demel. The decor, however, was old school classical (not that pretty […]

After hitting several tourist sights (including following the Royal Band marching into the Castle, saved our trouble finding directions), we dashed to one of Vienna’s most famous cake shop before its closing time.

It was raining and we were too tired to look for another place so we […]

A rainy day and we needed a quick lunch. So we went to this small local pub that offers cheap food – 100 Czk for salad + main + dessert. Don’t know what this beer is (very good~). The Czech Salad was diced onions and cabbages with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, quite nice. Beef […]
