The Sacher Cafe is part of the luxury Sacher Hotel and known for its Sacher-Torte. In 1832, young Franz Sacher was instructed to create a cake for Prince von Metternich’s guests. The cake was made with chocolate, apricot jam, and whipped cream. This cake, the original Sacher-Torte has been the most famous cake in the world since 1832 and one of Austria’s best-known symbols.
Sacher went on to open Hotel Sacher in 1876, where the Sacher-Torte becomes the hallmark of the house. Hotel Sacher claims to have the only original Sacher-Torte recipe, which is kept a closely guarded secret. Cafe Sacher is a great way to experience the best of Austria’s coffee house culture.
