Our food tourism continued as we enjoyed a slice of Viennese Sacher Torte. Not just any Sacher Torte, but the Original Sacher Torte made from the patented original recipe in the Sacher Cafe.
For those that aren’t across the historical significance of the Sacher Torte (like us until we read all about it on the menus), basically a young apprentice pastry chef, Franz Sacher, had to fill in for his boss who had fallen ill before having to cook desert for a bunch of royals. Franz stepped in and created the original 32-step recipe, everyone loved it, and 179 years later it’s still being shipped all over the world.
We enjoyed it, but if we were going picky, it was a tad dry for our liking. Three and half stars.
Next stop, Prague.
