Café Von Block · Vienna

The Sachertorte, as Vienna has baked it since 1832

Chocolate sponge, a thin layer of apricot jam and a dark glaze that snaps under the fork. We serve it with unsweetened whipped cream, a Melange and a glass of water, as a Viennese café should.

Open every day from eight in the morning. No reservations: the marble tables are first come, first served.
