" I tucked into strudel (2.80€), the pastry light and tender, the apples gently sweetened, the whole sprinkled with a crumbly nut-cinnamon-sugar mixture. It was a perfect, old-fashioned treat in one of the Old World’s greatest capitals."

Alana Gidycz

"Of course the reason we went back a second time is quite simply that Demel really is the best. The apples weren't overly sweet or mushy and the pastry was flaky and crisp."

Laura M.

"The apple strudel is also really wonderful, made with the finest pastry apple slivers rather than dices."

John Malathronas

"Austria's best cakes: Cafe Demel - Seventy different products are produced fresh every day at Demel, including apple strudel whose pastry is drawn every morning so thin you can read a newspaper through it."

Andrea Duty

"Where to get it: For great strudel and atmosphere, try Demel."
