Dining at the Hotel Sacher for many years has been as
much a social experience as a culinary one. Most celebrities
visiting Vienna eventually end up in the scarlet dining
room, usually to enjoy its most famous and Austria’s
national dish, tafelspitz, served with an apple and
horseradish and a chive sauce. Diners should always
save some room for the dessert speciality, Sachertorte,
a chocolate tart split in half, spread with apricot
jam and iced with chocolate. Reservations are required
and it is best for diners to arrive before 2300 hrs,
wearing smart clothes. |
